[aur-requests] [PRQ#6085] Deletion Request for firefox-extension-adblock-plus
Eschwartz [1] filed a deletion request for firefox-extension-adblock- plus [2]: This package is identical to the community package ""firefox-adblock- plus" except that it fixes the bug https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/47395 The appropriate response is to vote for the bug and encourage it to be fixed (or have the community package dropped to the AUR)... not submit it to the AUR with a slightly-reworded name to *evade* the upload restrictions for duplicate packages. ... Commit log excerpts :lol: d5e4cde rename to use in AUR 9355071 Add description. This signed package, not the same as in community. In community package is useless.

There are too many packages that are almost the same as the ones available
in [Community] and won't be deleted (eg. syncthing-bin)

Well, except that there is a difference between an AUR package that offers different features than the community package, and an AUR package that merely fixes a bug in the community package. One is allowed, the other isn't. I fear you are deliberately misunderstanding, though, so I shan't bother to argue further. ... In case anyone else cares, the bug has now been fixed in the community package, so this is now quite literally the same, as in "the same" same a.k.a "identical". ;) So further mendacious quibbling over "almost the same", while potentially interesting in the general case, is entirely redundant in this specific case, and therefore I don't really care what silly arguments people bring for not enforcing the rules. -- Eli Schwartz
