[aur-general] electron9 - Misusage of comments
Hi, could an AUR moderator please add a pinned comment to https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/electron9 . The comments get spammed by AUR helper users and Manjaro users with unreasonable comments. Dear Manjaro users aquatic7, if you are puzzled about something, consider to read the comments first and if this shouldn't clarify it for you, consider to use a support channel of the distro you are using. See https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/electron9/#comment-796026 , you are building blowatware, nothings is broken, so there's nothing to fix. Building bloatware can take very long. I'm subscribed (FWIW I'm just another user, not the maintainer) to receive comments to get informed about real issues and it's quite annoying to receive only comments from people using unsupported tools and/or alien disros again and again. Also consider to read the pinned comment, see https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/electron9/#pinned-795189 . Btw. consider to verify, if this package is needed at all by your install, see: Begin forwarded message: Date: Mon, 22 Mar 2021 23:26:44 +0100 From: Ralf Mardorf To: Kunda, erfanmola, jonathon Subject: [AUR] electron9 Hi, [snip] To list packages that depend on electron9 Arch Linux provides at least two common commands, one provided by the package community/pacman-contrib and the other provided by core/pacman which belongs to base-devel.
