PedroHLC [1] filed an orphan request for osdlyrics-git [2]: Lenoch, like me, is an old-contributor of the project.

Plus, I put my e-mail address into the header of each and every PKGBUILD I maintain in case anyone wants to contact me in private. Please also see my previous messages on AUR requests. P.S. please bottom-post.

No fair reading of my messages should have enabled you to come to the conclusion that I think fetching the most recent version is a valid option here! Btw. this is also not how this is supposed to be solved in a VCS package! There is a `pkgver` function for a reason... see [1]. [1] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/VCS_package_guidelines

A good start regarding your current issue and a very brief summary of how orphan request are handled may be found here [1]. > If my before mentioned suggestion is against the rules, would a package > like visual-studio-code-insiders not be allowed?

Hence, IMHO the PKGBUILD fetching the most recent version is fine in this case. Please also note that even if you were to find a package in the AUR that would not follow the guidelines regarding the VCS naming convention (see [2]) would not mean it is okay to break them. > Regarding you saying that an orphan request is not a good way to engage in > this sort of discussion, it there a way to revoke my request? > I am not aware of an option to do so.

That's a good idea. > Dear titaniumtown, it is nice that you think this to be a good idea but actually it would be in conflict with AUR guidelines as this is not a package with a git (or equivalent) suffix. Hence, automatically building from the current HEAD would be against the AUR guidelines. However, feel free to upload such a package with the addition suffix. Note, papermc actually has a git repository from which the software can be build so it is absolutely doable. Since you have not mentioned or taken written note of any of my criticism about your request, I would like to again remind you again that an orphan request is an awful way of engaging in this kind of discussion. Please think about my previous response. Best regards, Gordian >

[aur-requests] [PRQ#18779] Deletion Request for python-pytest-ordering
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 09 Apr '20

09 Apr '20

arisinfenix [1] filed a deletion request for python-pytest-ordering [2]: The python3 version is in [community]. When this deletion request gets accepted you can upload a python2 only version if still interested. Hopefully this is the right way to handle deletion requests for those python2/3 split packages that have a python3 but not python2 version in the official repos.
