Just forwarding @malacology's private response to me, since I think others should see how inhumanely he communicates with me, even of in response to a slight misunderstanding on my part. (For which I wanted to apologize, but his reponse almost stopped the beating of my hear so I decided to answer later.) He emphatically commanded me not to write back to him in email, so I'm respecting that by not including him in the recipient list. He will be able to see this message on the mailing list. -------- Original Message -------- From: guoyizhang@malacology.net Sent: 29 July 2023 20:53:45 GMT+02:00 To: Marcell Meszaros <marcell.meszaros@runbox.eu> Subject: Re: [PRQ#45582] Merge Request for gblocks-bin WTF, actually I am the maintainer of gblocks-bin, gblocks is recommended, I don't know why I need to discuss it with myself NO ONE knows what's gblocks-bin, when people want to use gblocks, firstly, they want to install gblocks If you think I am not friendly, firstly you should think about yourself. Always unfriendly comments and requests!!! If we don't contribute and take some pkg, many bioinformatics pkg will be orphans and disappear in AUR. This is a community, not you think, not I think, but there is also some score/standard to test the quality of the community, right? upgrade as soon as possible, take care of pkg carefully. Right? If you want to give any suggestions, PR !!!! instead of always commenting and offending people. Your comments and requests are crowded in aur !!!! DO NOT SEND ME ANY EMAILS I don't want to see your name any more! Best regards Guoyi On 2023-07-30 00:51, Marcell Meszaros wrote:
Also @malacology, please take care to avoid making unfriendly package takeovers / duplications.
Instead, discuss your proposals and ideas with the maintainers and users of the existing packages, if there are such on AUR.

gblocks is a close-source pkg
