[PRQ#42399] Deletion Request for avogadro2
MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for avogadro2 [2]: Duplicate of AUR/avogadroapp: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/avogadroapp The latter has been longer on AUR, since 2020, this one was uploaded in 2022. The earlier package is more proper because the name of the source repo itself is avogadroapp. Whereas "Avogadro 2" is the umbrella name of the whole project, consisting of separate repositories for the library and the application. Both packages are up-to-date (v1.97.0). This package has 0 votes and only 1 user comment, complaining about a build error. There are no dependent packages relying on this name.

AUR/avogadroapp already has provides=avogadro2. The project itself most likely had a good reason to choose "avogadroapp" as the repo name - maybe they wanted to go for a future-proof designation, in case they later reach Avogadro 3 and higher main versions. The avogadro2 package looks like an unfriendly takeover attempt from the longer-existing AUR/avogadroapp. On 20 June 2023 02:42:35 GMT+02:00, notify@aur.archlinux.org wrote:

@malacology I was going to accept the deletion request as this package is simply a duplicate for avogadroapp. One among the two packages must be deleted, so @malacology and @vitor_hideyoshi please settle the things in a friendly way by maintaining together a single package. If you both cannot find an agreement I will delete the avogadro2 package as it's a duplicate and if @vitor_hideyoshi wants he could ask for a merge in a new package. So please, don't force us to take actions and try to collaborate together thank you -- Fabio Castelli aka Muflone
Hello What pkg would you like to remain? Usually, the avogadro2 is the usual name, I am delighted to add you as co-maintainer, if you stick on avogadroapp, could you add me and BioArchLinuxBot as co-maintainers? I can help maintain and auto-update the pkgver as soon as possible when the pkgver is updated. Best regards Guoyi On 2023-07-23 19:12, Muflone wrote:
