[aur-general] Merge request: openarena-data
I am new a maintainer of openarena and openarena-data. I decided to ship OpenArena from a binary distribution provided by OpenArena developers. Thus it's making openarena-data package no longer needed. Please merge openarena-data into openarena. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/openarena-data/ Thanks. -- Kind regards, Damian Nowak StratusHost www.AtlasHost.eu

Since Open Arena can be built from source [1], the openarena package should provide the compiled version. If you want to use the pre-built binary you may better upload a new openarena-bin package that would provide and conflict with openarena and openarena-data.

In addition to this, if you don't want to maintain the from-source package any more, please disown it so that someone who does can take over maintaining it. Cheers, WorMzy

This package was dropped from community to AUR 2 months ago, and nobody was interested in it for 1.5 months before I adopted it. So if I'm to reupload this package as openarena-bin, I don't see any reason to leave the old openarena as is. If anyone ever thinks it's reasonable to provide source-compiled openarena, they will just create a new package. The name will be free to take at any time. Does it sound good? Thanks for your answers. -- Kind regards, Damian Nowak StratusHost www.AtlasHost.eu

Well the comments and the votes are for the source-built package, transferring those to a binary package seems wrong to me, but then again, I'm not a TU, so it's not up to me. Does the source package still build? If so, I see no problems leaving it as an orphan. Someone who uses it might pick up maintaining it. WorMzy
Do you guys have a backup of a previous version of source-built OpenArena? I already overrode it with my binary package and effectively have no previous PKGBUILD. :) I thought it was dropped from community because it didn't compile - most often it's this reason. If you say it builds then I will provide both openarena and openarena-bin. -- Kind regards, Damian Nowak StratusHost www.AtlasHost.eu

It is available in git mirror of AUR[1]. [1] http://pkgbuild.com/git/aur-mirror.git/tree/openarena?id=018095eccf30482d531... -- Bartłomiej Piotrowski http://bpiotrowski.pl/

The fact that no one adopted openarena{,-data} in two months in not relevant. Maybe no one noticed it was dropped to the AUR (I'm one of them). Also the package was fine, so while it builds there's no need of deleting an unmaintained package on AUR. Btw, reading the comments [1] I see you opted for using the pre-built binary since a user noticed that the PKGBUILD was using old source releases. Well, I just tried with the sources I linked in the previous mail [2] (latest 0.8.8) and it works fine. So if you are not going to take care of this, just orphan them both and upload your openarena-bin package; someone else will adopt em.
