Re: [aur-requests] Full deletion request for libinput-gestures

Martin, I just pushed the package and it worked! Thanks. I was expecting it would keep the submitter name from the initial commit but it correctly took my name presumably because the package had been removed. -- Mark Blakeney. On Sun, Aug 14, 2016 at 6:22 PM, Martin Kühne wrote:

Martin,

Sorry, but what do you mean "since you overwrote the git repository with yours"? Note I haven't submitted anything yet to the AUR.

That's what you *should* do, I'm not sure why you're asking if that hasn't happened yet. Just upload the package and don't forget to create a .AURINFO file. With a new history, to go with the git repository, you'll likely be listed as the original author. The aur stores old git repositories for deleted packages so people still have access to the otherwise inaccessible data that might still be useful.

cheers! mar77i
