[aur-general] package removal/orphaning request: rubberband
Please orphan or remove this package, I'd be willing to take over but the author of the PKGBUILD can have it back if he wants to. http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=15349 For the following reasons: -Wrong homepage link -some minor things inside the PKGBUILD -out of date since a few weeks and most importantly: -source isn't downloaded from the authors website and the downloaded tarball is significantly larger than the original one: rubberband-1.2.tar.bz 298627 rubberband-1.2-arch.tar.bz2 2739510 I won't attempt to see what the difference is, either way it's just wrong to download a modified tarball from a third party website, especially with an active project. Best regards Philipp

For the following reasons:
-Wrong homepage link -some minor things inside the PKGBUILD -out of date since a few weeks
and most importantly:
-source isn't downloaded from the authors website and the downloaded tarball is significantly larger than the original one:
rubberband-1.2.tar.bz 298627 rubberband-1.2-arch.tar.bz2 2739510

So there's a package with indications for malicious code and no-one even cares to comment?

Thanks Allan. I updated, fixed and orphaned it again so the author can adopt it again if he wants to. If it's still orphaned when the next version is out I'll adopt it. Philipp
