This package will be updated as soon as I receive an EOL message. It is 100% based on the deb package from the original developers and thus minimises some of the problems I and others have with the Arch package. It is therefore not incorrectly labelled. Deb is in the name and is referred to in the description. So it definitely has benefits. Am Sonntag, 28. April 2024, 11:40:26 MESZ schrieben Sie:
MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for element-desktop-deb-package [2]:
Unneeded. Exists in Arch extra repo. [a]
Less frequently updated than the repo package. Has wrong pkgname.
There's absolutely zero benefit in keeping it on AUR.

As per AUR submission guidelines, if there are issues with a repo package, don't create duplicates of it on AUR, but create an Arch package issue. Also, AUR packages that use prebuilt artifacts of open-source code must be named with a '-bin' suffix. This is the second time you submitted an element-desktop binary package to AUR with wrong name. Thus, you have already defied an AUR PM's deletion decision.
