Hi all, Sorry for not being aware of this list updating. I'm writing to request PMs' merge approval, due to the fact that wechat-beta-bwrap is clearly a duplicate package of wechat-uos-bwrap as discussed in aur-general[a][b].
This is not right, different from `wechat-uos-bwrap`, which expects an existing `wechat-uos` to provide uos licensing files, `wechat-beta-bwrap` packs the license files by itself.
And this provides `wechat-beta`, a leaked build that identified itself as a different program from the mainline `wechat` that `wechat-uos`
`wechat-beta` is a dedicated, non-mainline build that's created for
Well this is not true anymore. wechat-uos-bwrap, or wechat-uos-qt, the new package name is providing the license itself within the package. provides. It is indeed a leaked version in the first place, but very quickly UOS published it in their App Store. private testing of native QT stack, considered itself `wechat-beta`. It shall live in its own namespace. As of today, wechat-beta-bwrap is not using a beta version of WeChat.
It is `-uos-bwrap` having a wrong name, not `-beta-bwrap` being a duplicate.
Firstly, according to the AUR submission guidelines: Check the AUR if the package already exists. If it is currently maintained, changes can be submitted in a comment for the maintainer's attention. If it is unmaintained or the maintainer is unresponsive, the package can be adopted and updated as required. Do not create duplicate packages. Secondly, naming difference does not affect the definition of a duplicate package. -beta-bwrap still provides the same package as -uos-bwrap. wechat-uos-bwrap has already been renamed to wechat-uos-qt to clearly reflect its GUI toolkit.
Additionally, as of writing, `wechat-beta-bwrap` has 21 votes, and `wechat-uos-bwrap`has 11 votes, it is not right to merge from a highly voted one a lowly voted one.
I DO NOT think a higher vote eliminates the fact that wechat-beta-bwrap is a duplicated package of wechat-uos-bwrap. In my opinion, it is a very disgusting way to hide the origin of wechat-beta-bwrap and literally tells anyone packaging on the AUR that stealing votes can be done.
