Please accept PRQ#46634 (beeper → beeper-latest-bin). Note that the request was opened by the maintainer of `beeper`, comaintainer of `beeper-latest-bin`. Please dispose of merge request PRQ#45485 (beeper-latest-bin → beeper). I am the maintainer of `beeper-latest-bin`. We coordinated to transition from `beeper` to `beeper-latest-bin` because the old package broke on a weekly basis. Upstream uses a fixed download link with no alternative or redirect. The new package is auto-updating, installing the most recent binaries (-latest-bin) and applying the correct version number. The new package will not break as frequently as the old one, which is better for users. Based on comment and flag activity on the new package, many users have already successfully migrated. This merge request completes the process. On Fri, Aug 25, 2023 at 9:02 AM <notify@aur.archlinux.org> wrote:
sundbp [1] filed a request to merge beeper [2] into beeper-latest-bin [3]:
Beeper provides no versioned downloads and hence a latest style packagge is more useful. I've coordinated with the maintainer of the beeper-latest-bin package (and become a co-maintainer).
