Hi all, So I've semi-recently had to do some work on an OpenShift-based platform, so I packaged a couple of at-the-time missing packages. At the time, I searched AUR for "openshift" related packages and found the "openshift-client-bin" package, which contains the oc command. I needed to work with tekton, codeready and odo, so I figured: "let me add the missing clients in the same vein as openshift-client-bin". So I added "openshift-developer-bin" for the 'odo' command, openshift-pipelines-bin for the 'opc', 'tkn' and 'tkn-pac' commands and openshift-codeready-bin for the 'crc' command (crc stands for code-ready-containers). It turned out that there is a crc-bin package already. I didn't catch that at the time, and now I have this merge-into-theirs (crc-bin) request. This is fine in principle, but I do think it is a better experience for ArchLinux and AUR users if they can find openshift-related packages simply by looking for openshift in the package name instead of for a specific binary, plus, not unimportantly, some of these clients (pipelines) consist of mutiple binaries, hence my thinking that simply "binary + name" might not be the best naming convention in this case. So I'm not sure if my voice has any weight here, and I'm not sure what is the best way forward: * Do nothing, just abandon my variant? * Or should I engage (how? where? with whom?) and try to work for a bit of naming consistency? In any case, the re-upload of this package was by accident a couple of months ago (I have a script that iterates over my packages and uploads after I've done changes, and I left this directory in the wrong place, leading to it being re-uploaded - I thought that would be impossible, and/or that the package would be hidden, but it turns out it actually got re-created). I also asked on #archlinux-aur but I didn't get any response (yet). Kind regards, Rubin! On Sunday, March 9th, 2025 at 13:22, Marcell Meszaros <marcell.meszaros@runbox.eu> wrote:

+1 for either deletion or merge.
Moreover, the same openshift-codeready-bin package has already been deleted once, because the upstream software name is 'crc'. [1]
