[aur-general] Merge request: pipe and pipe2
Hi, I just updated the pipe [1] PKGBUILD. There is also pipe2 [2], which is the same program, but outdated (last updated in 2012). The best thing here would be to merge them into 'pipe2'. [1]: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pipe/ [2]: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pipe2/

If we will merge pipe into pipe2 all PKGBUILD changes will be lost. Do you want merge pipe right now? -- С уважением, Е.Алексеев. Sincerely yours, E.Alekseev. e-mail: darkarcanis@mail.ru ICQ: 407-398-235 Jabber: arcanis@jabber.ru

Yes, no problem. Are you going to disown pipe2, I suppose?

Unfortunately, according to our rules [1] you should contact with its current maintainer first and wait for a response for two weeks. Pipe2 have not any comments about out-of-dating and the package was marked as out-of-date just today by me. And I cannot say for sure that its current maintainer is inactive (but his last action was in 2012). Tl;dr: if I merge it now, perhaps there will be no actual version of the package for two weeks =) 1. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Other_requests -- С уважением, Е.Алексеев.

Hi, I contacted the former maintainer and he replied to me today, now I've adopted the pipe2 package [1]. Now we can safely merge pipe [2] into pipe2. Just to be clear: the final package wil be 'pipe2'. [1]: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pipe2/ [2]: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pipe

I don't know the project, but isn't pipe better name that pipe2? I skimmed over the web and they sometimes refer to it as PIPE, sometimes as PIPE2, the current version is PIPEv4.x.y and the documentation says PIPE 5. This suggests that the -2 actually refers to a(n old) version and in that case "pipe" would be more appropriate. Also, in that case I could merge pipe2 into pipe immediately. Lukas

Well, I suggested the main name of the project to be PIPE2 because both the old development website [1] and the current one [2] refer to it as PIPE2. I agree with you, all these versions seem confusing, but I find 'pipe' to be a name too generic. At least, 'pipe2' usually returns better search results with your favorite search engine than simply 'pipe'. [1]: http://pipe2.sourceforge.net/ [2]: https://github.com/sarahtattersall/PIPE
