Re: [PRQ#63979] Orphan Request for morewaita-git
by fino＠duck.com 22 Sep '24

22 Sep '24

To the moderators reviewing this orphan request: Since the current maintainer has had to accept the reality of a fork being a fork, he has reverted the source repo back to the original. However, he has pinned his own comment on the package page falsely claiming that the package has been superseeded by neowaita-git, which directly contradicts NeoWaita's developer's own words. NeoWaita is a fork of MoreWaita, it's taking its own path, and does not replace or superseed MoreWaita. I can see no other reason but spite for doing what the current maintainer is doing these past few days. He clearly dislikes me and my project, yet he insists on holding on to the AUR repo and using it against my project and myself. He has never done anything close to what's written in point 7 of the Arch Package Guidelines about closely working with upstream. In light of all this, I request the moderators to orphan the morewaita-git package if That1Calculator doesn't do it himself, so I can pick it it up and maintain it properly for the community. Thank you!
