MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for pikaur-aurnews [2]: Unspecified mod/duplicate of pikaur ("with the live aurnews eggzpatch", say pkgdesc). Deliberately a VCS package in disguise (without a pkgver function), which have been asked to be rectified by @haawda in a comment on 2022-11-28, but maintainer refused. [a] At this point it's obvious that maintainer created this package only for himself and does not care about anyone else. Not useful to keep. There's already the proper AUR/pikaur and pikaur-git. If there's any improvement idea, it could be submitted to upstream, who is the same person who maintains the just-mentioned AUR pikaur builds.
