Hi all,

I just took over pioneer and pioneer-git. The way upstream has been releasing things has made it that, under the prior maintainer, pioneer-git was really using upstream's versioning, while pioneer languished under upstream's old versioning system as "alpha"-something.

Please merge pioneer-git (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pioneer-git/) into pioneer (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pioneer/) so that I can continue forward with just the one.

Thanks!

I don't think a merge is necessary here. Those 2 packages can coexist, just update pioneer so that it uses the new versioning. BTW, pioneer-git should be updated to use the not so new now VCS source array capabilities.

Given the freqeuency of releases upstream (in their own words: "We release a new version almost every day."), I don't see much of a need for both. If you're unwilling to merge, I'd request instead that pioneer-git be deleted.

Thanks,

In that case, I'd say using the git version is probably more sensible. Saves you from the trouble of having to update your pioneer PKGBUILD every other day. Having both certainly does not hurt anyway, gives people more options. -- Maxime
