[PRQ#41689] Deletion Request for lightdm-pantheon-greeter-git
xiota [1] filed a deletion request for lightdm-pantheon-greeter-git [2]: Modifying my previous deletion request (PRQ#41468) by providing additional information and explanation. I had previously thought this package is a duplicate of extra/lightdm-pantheon-greeter, rather, it is a *near* duplicate. While the extra package does not fully track git, it is written to use selected git commits. If this practice is expected to continue in the extra package, the AUR package may be considered sufficiently similar to warrant deletion. Further, this package fails to satisfy the "useful" criterion of the AUR submission guidelines, defined as "more than a few people would find this package useful". In Dec 2020, a commit was made that broke this package. This package has few enough users that this problem apparently went unnoticed until Apr 2023. After being notified of the issue via comment, there was no response for well over a month. Upon noticing the issue, the maintainer did fix it, but then dropped the package, so that it is now unmaintained.
