[aur-general] [Removal Request] lightworks
Hi! I am the author of https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/lightworks/ and request removal because of duplication. When I created the package I didn't see that: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/lwks already exists. Thanks! Pyro Devil

Actually, the project name is lightworks, not lwks, so I'd suggest to remove lightworks, and then rename lwks to lightworks. -- Kind regards, Damian Nowak StratusHost www.AtlasHost.eu

Merge lwks into lightworks and transfer maintainership to stjhimy, the current lwks maintainer?

Actually, though the project name is "lightworks", the packages distributed upstream are all named "lwks". I feel like, keeping in line with upstream's naming convention, it makes sense to keep the name "lwks".

The "lwks" package includes the word "Lightworks" in the description, which means it can be found easily. Also, the "lwks" package has 21 votes to "lightworks" 0. That said, I have no personal experience with lightworks or how other distributions treat the package, so I have no solid opinion on the matter. --Jeremy

You're right, even though I prefer 'lightworks' :-)
Also, the "lwks" package has 21 votes to "lightworks" 0.
'lightworks' has been uploaded to AUR only about 12 hours ago. 'lwks' has been submitted a year ago.

Yeah, but Arch Linux TUs seem to prefer "project name" than "package name proposed by the upstream". I have recently reported an issue stating that it's not possible to find PowerDNS with pacman -Ss powerdns. xyproto changed the package name from pdns (that's how the tarball is named upstream) to powerdns. https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/38231 -- Kind regards, Damian Nowak StratusHost www.AtlasHost.eu

I don't honestly mind. Though the lwks package in the ALUR really needs to be updated to fetch the source from upstream (which it currently doesn't do).

Excellent point. The principle of least surprise would dictate that packages have obvious names light lightworks or powerdns.

lwks by stjhimy: + automatic download of source + older + votes - name - maintainers "today" is two weeks so far lightworks by PyroDevil: + name - needs manual download of source My suggestion is merging lwks -> lightworks, add 'lwks' to description (so it can be found by that name) and add DLAGENTS overwrite to new package. best regards, carstene1ns

Deleted, thanks. Sorry for the delay; not sure why this was overlooked.

There was a discussion about the package name; and the suggested move was to removing lightworks, and move existing lwks into lightworks. -- Kind regards, Damian Nowak StratusHost www.AtlasHost.eu

The official package (deb) name is lwks, and "lightworks" is in the description. I see no reason to change it. -- Jonathan Steel

On second thoughts, maybe it should be listed as lightworks, but the maintainer should upload it under the new name and then request a merge here. Now lightworks is gone, he is able to. -- Jonathan Steel
