I think I rushed this merge request. Let's discuss it a bit and then figure out what's the best. Sorry! Transcription of telegram-purple AUR comments: --- Comment by vinipsmaker 2015-02-04 03:32 @franciscod: I can disown this package if you want to maintain it. Some users want the git/development version of some package (I use inkscape-bzr, for instance), but others want the latest stable released version (normal packages). I didn't find the telegram-purple package, then I "forked" the git package. Simple as that. --- Comment by franciscod 2015-02-04 03:40 Thanks for your explanation! I'm ashamed of my initial hostile reaction, I felt like my work being copied and didn't like it (dammit, ego!). Sorry! At upstream, the development happens on feature branches. The master branch points to the latest stable tagged version (also, your package points to v0.6, and the latest one is v0.6.1) so we'd supporting the exact same version! https://github.com/majn/telegram-purple/tags https://github.com/majn/telegram-purple/branches Maybe the best way of joining forces is merging both packages and sharing the maintain process on github.

TL;DR: cloned package, the other guy never contacted me. wat do? dedup?

This package is a clone of my original telegram-purple-git repo, with minor differences. I don't know if that's not wanted on AUR, I don't care of the submitter copying my work, I just think that it's better to have all users using a single package for better support and bugfixing. My package also has 18 votes, while this has 4.

Its PKGBUILD even contains my name! I've never been contacted by vinipsmaker (pkg submitter). Here's an old version of my package's PKGBUILD: https://github.com/franciscod/aur-franciscod/blob/051ef01fe3962eab45b723f4ab...

Thanks! Francisco ---
