A fork is a fork. It does not mean it has been superseded. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Archey3 Archey3 is on the wiki, not Archey4. You have already mentioned Archey4 on the Archey3 AUR page, one year ago. And you spammed yesterday the Archey3 AUR page, by flagging it out-of-date while this archey3-git package is up-to-date with the upstream repo. https://github.com/lclarkmichalek/archey3 Not everyone wants to use Archey4, and forking by changing the number to make it seem like it has been superseded is not a good practice. Furthermore, you want to steal the 171 votes and comments of archey3 with this merge request. If the fork of archey4 was by the same author, we could have understood that, it is not the case here. Archey4 has 16 votes, does not have a wiki page (yet). It does seem too early to consider a deletion request for archey3-git in the AUR (Arch Linux User Repository). Maybe you could contact the author https://github.com/lclarkmichalek/archey3/issues and see what he is up to and if he really gives the seal of approval to archey4. AUR/archey3-git is not defunct and I am still maintaining it. You know that archey - first of his name - decided to remove archey4 as a listed fork on GitHub. https://github.com/djmelik/archey djmelik/archey: Archey is a system information tool written in Python. github.com And even, djmelik is planning a complete re-write of Archey. It is very much too early to say 100% that the fork archey4 has to take the crown. Sincerely, HLFH

MarsSeed [1] filed a request to merge archey3-git [2] into archey4 [3]:
As discussed with maintainer @HLFH in comments 10+ months ago, this application has been superseded by continuation fork archey4. He posted a link to the new AUR package then, so users should be well- informed at this point.
Archey3 has not been developed since 2018. [a]
Arch repo still carries the last archey3 (however, devs would be advised to consider adopting archey4 to [extra]).
Though archey3-git is a VCS package and AUR/archey4 is not, there's no VCS package for the latter but it would still be good to migrate the high number of votes and comments to the successor application's package rather than just deleting them.
AUR/archey3-git is defunct so there's no harm in removing that in favor of archey4.
