Hi all,

If someone really needs a perl-extutils-makemaker package on AUR on top of Arch/core/perl already providing the same as a vendored module, I suggest to upload a properly named one:

AUR/perl-extutils-makemaker

At the risk of repeating myself:
There is no MakeMaker-AUR module on CPAN but still the '-aur' suffix is misleading here, as there exist some other '-aur' suffixed CPAN libraries.

Cheers.

I suggest deletion of this package due to redundancy.

This has a misleading '-aur' suffix and is just providing this:

perl-extutils-makemaker=7.64

But that is also provided by Arch [core] perl-5.36.0.

So it's safe to drop this from AUR.
