by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 02 Aug '23

Fwd: Re: [PRQ#45582] Merge Request for gblocks-bin
by Marcell Meszaros 02 Aug '23

02 Aug '23

Just forwarding @malacology's private response to me, since I think others should see how inhumanely he communicates with me, even of in response to a slight misunderstanding on my part. (For which I wanted to apologize, but his reponse almost stopped the beating of my hear so I decided to answer later.) He emphatically commanded me not to write back to him in email, so I'm respecting that by not including him in the recipient list. He will be able to see this message on the mailing list. -------- Original Message -------- From: guoyizhang(a)malacology.net Sent: 29 July 2023 20:53:45 GMT+02:00 To: Marcell Meszaros <marcell.meszaros(a)runbox.eu> Subject: Re: [PRQ#45582] Merge Request for gblocks-bin WTF, actually I am the maintainer of gblocks-bin, gblocks is recommended, I don't know why I need to discuss it with myself NO ONE knows what's gblocks-bin, when people want to use gblocks, firstly, they want to install gblocks If you think I am not friendly, firstly you should think about yourself. Always unfriendly comments and requests!!! If we don't contribute and take some pkg, many bioinformatics pkg will be orphans and disappear in AUR. This is a community, not you think, not I think, but there is also some score/standard to test the quality of the community, right? upgrade as soon as possible, take care of pkg carefully. Right? If you want to give any suggestions, PR !!!! instead of always commenting and offending people. Your comments and requests are crowded in aur !!!! DO NOT SEND ME ANY EMAILS I don't want to see your name any more!

[PRQ#43908] Deletion Request for python-gmusicapi
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 01 Aug '23

01 Aug '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-gmusicapi [2]: Orphan, unmaintained package. Google Music is dead (shut down). So it's safe to delete this package. Tizonia packages are unmaintained as of now, and already broken because they rely on the also broken libspotify (for which Spotify discontinued all access).

[PRQ#45626] Deletion Request for webdesktop-bin
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 01 Aug '23

01 Aug '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for webdesktop-bin [2]: This is an empty template web application, whose source was created as an example and as a project starting point. [a] Its repo should be cloned/forked and then developer can add their own web application content. It is useless to package this either from binary release or from source. Similarly as one doesn't (or at least shouldn't) put a 'Hello World' application on AUR.
