[aur-general] Merge request: teamspeak/teamspeak3
'Lo all. I'd like to request the merging of teamspeak3[1] and teamspeak[2]. teamspeak3 is by far the older of the two, and both of them seem to not have updated to 3.0.8.1. (I'm using teamspeak3 which definitely hasn't.) teamspeak's PKGBUILD carries a lot of similarities with the one from teamspeak3. A few more than I would think is co-incidental. However, I do think the "teamspeak" namespace is more fitting, as it is the latest version of "TeamSpeak", and if people still need v3 when version 4 comes around, they can always fork it out and make a (new) teamspeak3. But I'm really pretty indifferent about this. Additionally, the maintainer of teamspeak3 appears to have gone AWOL. I've sent them an e-mail just today, so I'll wait another two weeks to request orphaning it, but as you can tell, there have been comments asking about it for some time. I'm not sure what the right path of action is in this situation, but I trust you all to do The Right Thing(tm). :) [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=33023 [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=61431 -- Namasté, Frederik "Freso" S.

jwbirdsong has returned, somewhat, and updated his package. It's been almost a month since this mail was sent out, and, to my knowledge, neither of the two replied to the merge inquiry. How to proceed from here? I'd say that teamspeak3 is the more mature and well-maintained of the two, so merging teamspeak into that would work. I still personally believe that "teamspeak" is the better namespace though, as long as teamspeak3 is the latest version of TeamSpeak. :) -- Namasté, Frederik "Freso" S. Olesen http://freso.dk/

Hi, I am the maintainer of "teamspeak3-server". As upstream uses "teamspeak3*" or "ts3*" in most of the file- and pathnames I would like to keep "teamspeak3-server". Maybe that would be a point to have "teamspeak3" as client package for unity. However I see no reason to stick with "teamspeak3-server" if nuking the 3 is what is decided here. Just post the result here. =) -- Malte Rabenseifner mail@malte-rabenseifner.de
I'm the original creator of the TS2 and TS3 PKGBUILDs. The reason they are numbered like that (rather than just a "teamspeak" package) is because TS3 was a complete rewrite from TS2. The magnitude of the rewrite was significant enough that people still preferred or, for whatever reason, had to continue using TS2. It's almost like a completely different program, not a simple version bump. There was also a long period of time where the TS3 package was beta, so it didn't make sense to make it the de-facto "teamspeak" package. That being said, at this point, the TS3 package should probably just be called "teamspeak". However, the creation of the "teamspeak" PKGBUILD was inappropriate. Sabaku should have requested ownership of "teamspeak3", then moved/renamed it to "teamspeak" so two different people aren't maintaining the same software. I believe the package naming scheme is a secondary matter. Users shouldn't be willingly duplicating effort like this ("teamspeak" is a copy of "teamspeak3" with modifications, so ignorance cannot be claimed). We should not be encouraging users to simply clone current PKGBUILDs under a different name because they think it's named wrong. They should open up a discussion on the current package and work it out with the current maintainer. "teamspeak" (the copy) should be deleted from the AUR and the exact naming scheme can be figured out by whoever is left and able to maintain the PKGBUILDs. Thanks, Slash

Both maintainers have been mailed by me personally, if no response comes from both maintainers within a week time i'll decide to merge teamspeak into teamspeak3 and leave the maintainer as is, if both reply to me and agree who will maintain the package (teamspeak3) it will be so. -- Ike
