[PRQ#43209] Deletion Request for xdg-utils-custom-open
yochananmarqos [1] filed a deletion request for xdg-utils-custom-open [2]: Duplicate of xdg-utils. Custom? How? Open? As opposed to closed? There's also a non-existent dependency on xdg-open-impl--whatever that is. "The submitted PKGBUILDs must not build applications already in any of the official binary repositories under any circumstances. Check the official package database for the package. If any version of it exists, do not submit the package. If the official package is out-of- date, flag it as such. If the official package is broken or is lacking a feature, then please file a bug report." -- https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AUR_submission_guidelines#Rules_of_submissi...

Request #43209 has been Rejected by yochananmarqos [1]: Sorry, didn't see the merge request and comments before filing. [PRQ#43206] Merge Request for xdg-utils-no-open [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/yochananmarqos/
@yochananmarqos, this deletion request is based on mistaken assumptions. TLDR: It is not hard to create a modified package based on xdg-utils source by deleting one script, 'xdg-open', and making the package depend on another package that either has an alternative implementation of that script with the same name, or a symlink with the same name pointing to another shell script that is interface-compatible with the original 'xdg-open'. For more details, please kindly read the discussion that took place on 2023-06-27 on the following page: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xdg-utils-no-open (archived: https://archive.ph/zk7uR) Ref also owner's merge request [PRQ#43206] from xdg-utils-no-open to xdg-utils-custom-open. Please kindly revoke this ill-conceived deletion request and let @jfrankenau implement a viable, Arch-repo-compatible drop-in customization solution for xdg-utils that is mostly similar to what Arch's 'xdg-desktop-portal' package already utilizes: https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/xdg-desktop-portal/ Thank you for your kind cooperation. :) Marcell (MarsSeed) On 29 June 2023 21:23:34 GMT+02:00, notify@aur.archlinux.org wrote:
