[PRQ#61247] Deletion Request for emoji-keyboard-appimage
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 13 Jul '24

13 Jul '24

xiota [1] filed a deletion request for emoji-keyboard-appimage [2]: PM stated, "I'd like to remove it but this is not prohibited". On the contrary, this package is in violation of AUR submission guidelines: * "Do not create duplicate packages." The -appimage and -bin packages are duplicates of each other. * Exceptions for duplicates are "extra features" or "patches". The packages do not differ in these respects. * Packages are also required to be "useful". "Will anyone else want to use this package?" There is no reason to prefer the appimage package over the bin package, or vice versa. * "Packages that use prebuilt deliverables, when the sources are available, must use the -bin suffix." The appimage package lacks the -bin suffix. Sometimes users create duplicate packages when another package is broken with a maintainer who refuses or is unable to fix it. In such cases, the duplicate may be allowed because working packages have "extra features" with respect to non-working packages. Fixing the package may also be considered, or require, using "patches". This scenario does not apply to emoji-keyboard-appimage and -bin because they have the same maintainer. The packages are equally working or equally broken, and the maintainer is equally able or unable to fix them.
