Varakh [1] filed a request to merge onedrive [2] into onedrive- abraunegg [3]:
The onedrive package itself is working fine but upstream has not committed anything for a very long time and is actively NOT responding to issues.
There's a fork available (packaged into onedrive-abraunegg) which is actively developed and contains tons of bug fixes required for daily production.
As the current maintainer of the onedrive package is not willing to hand over it, adapt the package to the fork, I'd propose to force move the package or force delete it so that the current maintainer of e.g. onedrive-abraunegg can take over. I think we, as an Arch community, should not confuse new users and prefer working forks (and therefore rename it).
There's also a discussion going on in the comment sections of each AUR package.
Cheers Varakh

The original upstream IS sporadically active, and instead of making a proper fork, abraunegg has just declared himself the new upstream of the project. If people have a problem with the naming, they should take it up with abraunegg to do things correctly.
