[aur-general] question about community packages vs aur
It seems the anonymous-pro font is now available in the community repos (has been for sometime actually). https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/any/ttf-anonymous-pro/ And I have the package https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ttf-anonymous-pro-minus/ that just provides the minus version of the font. So the qestion is, should it be deleted in favor of the community version? Or is it ok to keep the package as it provides a specific version of the font(s)? -- John "ShaggyTwoDope" Jenkins

If the [community] package was much larger, I'd keep the AUR package. But saving a few KB of bandwidth and half an MB or so of storage doesn't really justify the existence of 2 packages. Cheers, -- Maxime

Cheers, -- Maxime That sounds like reason enough, thanks for the help. Going to mark for deletion. -- John "ShaggyTwoDope" Jenkins
