Re: [PRQ#75049] Deletion Request for hyde-ext

Hi *matthewq337*, I just read your deletion request for *hyde‑ext*—and I’m furious. Frankly, taking a shot at an AUR package *without bothering to fully understand what it is or how it works* is irresponsible. You wrote: *“a PKGBUILD for someone’s personal dotfiles does not really meet the usefulness criteria of the AUR”* You apparently filed that request as if the package were just someone’s private configs—but *hyde‑ext* isn’t. It's a *component of the HyDE framework*, a well‑established *Arch Linux environment* used by hundreds (if not thousands) of people. You can use Hyde-Ext to quickly install, configure, and restore system presets, dev tools, wallpapers, firewall rules, and more GitHub <https://github.com/HyDE-Project/HyDE>. Your request completely ignores the fact that: - *hyde‑ext* is a standalone AUR package with its own PKGBUILD, releases, votes, and metadata; it’s clearly listed in the AUR and meets all submission requirements aur.archlinux.org <https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/hyde-ext?utm_source=chatgpt.com>. - The *AUR guidelines explicitly state* that deletion requests must provide *solid justification*, not just vague assumptions—especially since the package maintainer may rely only on the aur‑requests thread for context wiki.archlinux.org <https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AUR_submission_guidelines?utm_source=chatg…> . Here’s what *hyde-ext* actually *does*: - Provides *modular dotfiles and system configurations* for the HyDE environment—in essence, a centralized installer and *restoration utility* for user-selectable tools and settings. - Allows users to define *custom sets* of tools: editors, fonts, sys-configs, dev toolchains, wallpapers, firewall profiles—you name it—and install them with one command. - Includes *restore functionality*: lost configurations due to config wipes or system reinstall? Just rerun hyde-ext to pull everything back. - It’s *not “someone’s personal PKGBUILD”;* it’s fully configurable, transparent, and documented. Moreover, a major update is imminent that will greatly expand what users can do—adding *comprehensive documentation*, enhanced modularity, and functionality newly requested by community contributors. Your deletion request not only misrepresents the tool’s purpose, but *undermines the input of an entire user community* that relies on *hyde-ext* to bootstrap and maintain their HyDE environments. If you stand by your request after that process, fine. But filing a deletion request comes with *responsibility*, and right now, you're neglecting yours. HyDE is a mature, arch-native environment. *hyde-ext* is part of the HyDe experience and *serves a clear purpose*—removing it without due diligence is not only unfair, it’s *damaging the community infrastructure*. So please: *rescind your deletion request* immediately. *_________________________________________________________* *Da4ndo* Software Engineer — Backend & Full‑Stack Developer *Experienced in Rust, TypeScript, **Python, **C #, **C ++ ,**Go, Java* 📄 Portfolio & Blog: https://da4ndo.com 📧 contact(a)da4ndo.com <contact(a)da4ndo.com>
