Keep-Silence [1] filed a deletion request for wechat [2]: Dear aur repository maintainers/administrators. Please do not delete wechat-bin. Please do not ignore the requests of wechat-bin users. Please do not disappoint wechat-bin users and developers. The wechat maintainer is a villain [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/commit/?h=wechat&id=3a06a5b037289255… Keep wechat and wechat-bin and wait for time to prove which version is the most popular. There is a reason why wechat-bin has been deleted and recreated so many times. Please understand the whole incident instead of blindly agreeing to delete wechat-bin. Because of aur's poor mechanism, wechat-bin has been repeatedly deleted and recreated. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/Keep-Silence/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/wechat/

etoyz [1] filed a request to merge wechat [2] into wechat-universal- bwrap [3]: This is a duplicate containerized wechat. wechat-universal-bwrap is more reasonably packaged, more accurately named, and especially more reliable for maintainer.

unn [1] filed a deletion request for wechat [2]: we don't want to remove this package, he can do whatever he want to pack what ever he likes, we just want a place to host our wechat-bin package, duplication is a reason that we refuse to accept to merge wechat-bin into this package. You can rename whatever you like of our wechat-bin, we can't accept this package as the only aur package of wechat. If this is the culture or some of the EULA rules, then I would say it's toxic. The behavior of the K user just made the aur his b****. If the merge of wechat-bin is the final desicion of the aur maintainers, I will quit and stop using arch linux. I'm sure you guys don't lack one user of this beloved distribution. The whole thing is an absolute farce, and what's even more unbearable is that the AUR administrators actually condone such behavior.

Keep-Silence [1] filed a deletion request for wechat [2]: Dear AUR repository maintainers, Please keep the package wechat-bin. Do not allow malicious users to merge, replace, or delete wechat-bin. Let time prove that wechat-bin is still more popular than any alternative. Thank you for your attention. AUR/wechat has illegally merged[1] AUR/wechat-bin (which is much cleaner than this) and AUR/wechat-bwrap, setting "placeholder" packages[2,3] and trying to force end-users to use AUR/wechat. This maintainer also changed the package's source to "UOS system" version[4], while the official version is available from wechat's official website.[5] (while AUR/wechat-bin respects the origin) Before this user can finally figure out how dependencies work, and respect the final/original source of this software, I think we should remove this package to not break up purity for dependencies.

[PRQ#68197] Orphan Request for wechat

JoveYu [1] filed an orphan request for wechat [2]: We need a cleanly built package, such as wechat-bin. The maintainer of this package has been trying to add scripts and functions developed by themselves. seize the package name, replace other packages, and tamper with the wiki.This is not a maintenance method for a general package. It is recommended to change this package to wechat-portable and keep the original wechat-bin [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/JoveYu/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/wechat/
