Hi,
I recently went looking for a package for [entr][1], didn't find one, and so put together a PKGBUILD myself. When I went to submit it I found the git repo already exists; if you do:
git clone ssh://aur@aur.archlinux.org/entr
You get a non-empty repo that was last updated sometime in 2018, and packages version 4.1 of the software. I can't push to the repo since it already exists and I am not the maintainer, but there is no corresponding package available via the web interface:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/entr
I am not sure what to make of this. Any insights?

Hi,
Deleted packages are not deleted from the git repository, you need to clone it then you will ne able to push it.

Yeah, that means that it's been deleted. The underlying git repos don't get deleted. You can generally just update and push and it'll be back, but you can't in this case because it was deleted when it was moved to Community.

There's a package in the community repository [1], first added in December 2018. No AUR needed :).

The Git repositories of deleted packages remain in the AUR. The AUR package was deleted when it was moved to the community repository; the deletion request can be viewed at [2] and the acceptance of the request at [3].

Apparently I'm going crazy; I'm sure I searched for it with pacman and didn't find it, but you're right it's there. Thanks.
