Hi Gbr, sorry but I do not understand your request. > 1. The "Notes" project from the 'notes' package came first[2] than 'notes-git'[3]. Ok but the upstream software for both the packages it's called `notes` what we can do? I suspect that more the one package will have the same issue since "notes" or "todo" are popular names. >2. 'notes-git' (the AUR package itself) is less popular than 'notes'. This does not mean anything from aur prospective :) >3. Although notes-git builds and installs just fine, the package itself looks abandoned and has a couple of issues: - Wrong package version - Does not install completions for fish shell. It's not abandoned and does not have the wrong package version, it's a `git` package so the version will be different each time you build the package. About the fish shell we can add it obv, nodoby asked for it in the comment, I can address that one. Honestly I don't want to argue about keeping the name but those are 2 different packages for a 2 different software that unfortunately have the same name. Also asking for a orphan request it's wrong in this context imho. Anyway since for me it's not so important the name of this package I'm ok with renaming it. Dear archlinux devs I'm ok with the request to rename the "notes-git" package to "bash-notes-git". Thanks!
