[aur-general] Could someone please bring back the skypeforlinux-beta-bin package?
Hello everybody, about a month ago I submitted the skypeforlinux-beta-bin package to the AUR due to an issue which appeared in newer skypeforlinux versions. Yesterday I decided to get this package deleted because several people reported and I could verify myself that the issue was fixed in the most recent skypeforlinux versions. However, after the package has been deleted, I got several complaints now that the issues are not solved for everybody. So I would like to request to put this package back to the AUR. Unfortunately, I cannot do it myself because its git repo still exists: https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=skypeforlinux-beta-bi... Thanks for your time and sorry for the hassle! Michael

I think you could do it yourself. Just git clone the repo as before and push again (not sure it works, but I think it does).
Actually, I also thought so but when I tried, git told me that the repo is up to date, so nothing changed and the package didn't appear in the AUR as well... 2017-11-13 12:54 GMT+01:00 Carlos Mogas da Silva via aur-general < aur-general@archlinux.org>:

In this situation you should bump the pkgrel and push it. This would "create" the package again in the AUR. We don't actually delete the repositories, they are always there. Regards, Giancarlo Razzolini
Makes sense, thanks for the hint!

Or, ssh aur.archlinux.org restore $pkgbase Even better because you don't need to touch the pkgrel. Cheers, Bennett -- GPG fingerprint: 871F 1047 7DB3 DDED 5FC4 47B2 26C7 E577 EF96 7808

Oh no, someone who actually *reads the documentation*! Burn the witch! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zrzMhU_4m-g :p -- Eli Schwartz
Since we are speaking about it, where is a good place to read the
documentation? :) I have got along with
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Submitting_package...
so far but looks like this is not enough for some cases...

1) Please do not top-post on mailing lists. :) 2) The available options are shown using `ssh aur@aur.archlinux.org help`, and further elaborated upon in the file "doc/git-interface.txt" in the source code. Sadly, it appears that it is not available on the web interface the same way "doc/rpc.txt" is available as https://aur.archlinux.org/rpc I think the solution is to simply copy web/html/rpc.php as git-interface.php and have it show the contents of git-interface.html instead of rpc.html Hopefully we can make this available in the next release (which is scheduled soon!) -- Eli Schwartz
@1) Sorry, I am using the GMail web interface and forgot that it is quoting previous mails automatically. @2) Thanks, I will have read it up at some point (I'm a bit ill currently, so probably in a few days).

I feel so sorry for you! :D I hope you have the opportunity to get back to using a proper email client soon. :)

It's actually a fantastic email client for those of us who transition often between devices and operating systems. Obviously for mailing list usage its less than ideal though (until you get used to clicking that
