[PRQ#66288] Deletion Request for wps-office-bin
MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for wps-office-bin [2]: Duplicate of AUR/wps-office. [a] Upstream is closed-source, so the '-bin' pkgname suffix is superfluous. Also please don't create duplicates of already existing packages. Communicate with the maintainer(s) of the existing one. [a]: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/wps-office [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/wps-office-bin/
I am yifwon, the maintainer of wps-office-bin.I can not agree what you say and feel so annoyed about what you did, in the condition of kowning nothing in detail but with your arbitrary intuition. 1. this package source comes from https://linux.wps.cn,which is totally different from wps-office, whose url is http://wps-community.org. the source of 2 package is totally different. 2. wps-office-bin first pushed at 2019.4.5, wps-office at 2019.4.21. my package is not a duplicated one of wps-office, but also earlier than wps-office. 3. wps-office is a international package with all kinds of language mime, by kingsoft. but -bin is a Chinese customization one. 4.it is my package, you have your right to dislike it, but do not judge or delete others package. it is not your product and none of your business.

[1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/wps-office-bin/ Minor correction: this is actually the duplicate of AUR/wps-office-cn. [1]
That has existed on AUR since 2020. And again, that one is named correctly, as it reflects the Chinese localization as opposed to the international release, as well as lacks the superfluous '-bin' suffix, because upstream is closed-source. [1]: https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/wps-office-cn
Request #66288 has been Rejected by Muflone [1]: I'll never understand because we have so many duplicated but different chinese packages with unknown differences [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/Muflone/
