[aur-general] Package deletion request
Requesting to delete my aur pkg https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=53452 I have made a split package https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=30375 which incorporates the former. Thanks

There has been some discussion on this list about whether the "true && pkgname" hack should be used - but split packages are convenient.

No, they are not convenient on AUR! They are only conveniant in the binary repos! When do people understand, that split packages in AUR regularly cause problems as long as split packages are not officially supported by AUR? They regularly cause problems with the AUR helpers like yaourt, aurbuild, etc. And there are even more problems if other packages depend on a subpackage of these split packages on AUR, because neither pacman nor the AUR helper nor anything else can find those subpackages and resolve those dependencies. Either AUR finally gets official support for split packages or split packages are avoided in AUR. The problem are not the split packages themselves, the problem is that AUR can't handle them. Heiko

Not this garbage again. When will you understand that guidelines for PKGBUILD submission aren't based on the inabilities of even less supported AUR tools?
Either AUR finally gets official support for split packages or split packages are avoided in AUR.
Or projects like yaourt, aurbuild, etc. can figure out a way to support them. They already contains all sorts of other ugly hacks. Why not find a way to support this as well?
The problem are not the split packages themselves, the problem is that AUR can't handle them.
The AUR handles them just fine. Just like last time you ranted about this, you're conflating two very separate problems.
