Hello list, The claim made in the message is unsubstantiated, as can easily be seen on the package's page. I think the submitter is a package hoarder, because he has 383(!) packages on the AUR, most probably acquired through such requests. This has happened before and leads to a centralization of the AUR. In this particular case, the last request for a PKGBUILD update was only made this morning at around 8 AM. The requester submitted the request today at 8 PM. His claim that there were many comments with working PKGBUILDs is irrelevant, because the only new one is from this morning around 8 AM. The following claim that there were no reaction sice 2016 is irrelevant as well, because the last comment before that was only towards the end of march. I consider the submission of the request after only 12 hours to be an attempt at a package takeover, because the requester attempted to create the illusion of an inactive maintainer. I kindly ask to take care about accepting such requests and to take apropriate action against such attempts. Kind regards Noel Kuntze -- GPG Key ID: 0x63EC6658 Fingerprint: 23CA BB60 2146 05E7 7278 6592 3839 298F 63EC 6658
