I can't set people as maintainers. I'll force disown the package and if they adopt it again I'll suspend the account with a warning. -- Morten Linderud PGP: 9C02FF419FECBE16 On Sun, May 30, 2021 at 03:21:37PM +0200, Sonny Piers wrote:
My requested was accepted but David re-took ownership 1 minute after being disowned.
Foxboron, could you set yochananmarqos <https://aur.archlinux.org/account/yochananmarqos> as owner for tangram <https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/tangram/> so that we can all move on?
Thank you.

Hello,
David is unresponsive, can a trusted AUR user have a look at this request please?
tdlr: I created the tangram aur package for my app <https://github.com/sonnyp/tangram> , I orphaned the package in the hope that someone would take over, David took the name for his own application. Printed magazine still refer to yay -S tangram to install my app on Arch. I would like for tangram to point back to my app which is currently under tangram-web on aur.
Thank you

Hello David,
I don't know but I would appreciate if there was no need to bring that up considering the issue I mentioned in my email.
Unfortunately this is causing issues as instructions to install Tangram through AUR still exists in the wild, including in printed paper magazine such as Linux magazine, for example https://www.linux <https://www.linux/>- magazine.com/Issues/2020/235/Tangram "yay -S tangram".
Would renaming your Tangram be such an issue?
Thanks.

Hi Sonny, I am sorry for not responding to your email sooner.
What is the AUR’s policy regarding replacing software on orphaned packages? Is that disallowed?

sonny [1] filed an orphan request for tangram [2]:
The current maintainer of the package has replaced the package with his own software.
It is causing issues as instructions to install tangram from AUR exists in the wild - including in paper magazine.
We would like this package to be orphaned so that the maintainer of tangram-web can reinstate the original purpose of this aur package.
I got in touch with them with the following email but received no answer so far.
Hello David,
My name is Sonny, I'm the author of Tangram <https://github.com/sonnyp/tangram> and the original submitter to the AUR package <https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/tangram/> .
I stopped using Arch Linux and hoped that someone would step in to maintain the AUR package. Someone has but couldn't use the tangram package anymore so they published it under tangram-web <https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/tangram-web/>
Unfortunately this is causing issues as instructions to install Tangram through AUR still exists in the wild, including in printed paper magazine such as Linux magazine, for example https://www.linux <https://www.linux/>- magazine.com/Issues/2020/235/Tangram "yay -S tangram".
I would be really grateful if you would publish your application on aur under a different name and allow the maintainer of tangram-web to take over ownership of tangram .
Cheers!
