[aur-general] Invisible packages? Can't find in aurweb but avaliable on git
Hi All, I recently noticed an update for the jbidwatcher package. I could not find the package using the aur web interface, so I proceeded to get the package off of an AUR 3 backup (in addition to there being a new version the license had also changed), and then updated the PKGBUILD. When I went to push to git, though, remote rejected my push. I then git cloned the package and found that the AUR3 package was hidden from the AUR web interface, but available on git. Is this normal? Should I harass the original maintainer of the AUR 3 package, or can someone unlock the package on the aur so I can push to it?

I had this same problem with one of the nero linux packages. I posted to this list about it. I still have no idea why.

It means that for whatever reason the package was deleted from the AUR. The git repos of deleted AUR packages are not purged, and you should be able to clone and repush to restore the package. (I assume your push was rejected because it was a force-push over the contents of the previous history -- which is a no-no. ;)) But the question is, why was it deleted to begin with? I tried searching the aur-requests list and couldn't find mention of the package. :( -- Eli Schwartz

Or just ssh aur@aur.archlinux.org restore foo -- Sincerely, Johannes Löthberg PGP Key ID: 0x50FB9B273A9D0BB5 https://theos.kyriasis.com/~kyrias/

For the record, I ended up doing this and it worked. Thanks to all. -- PGP key, Signal, & OTR encryption avaliable upon request.
