[PRQ#47892] Deletion Request for pigz-gzip-symlink
MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for pigz-gzip-symlink [2]: This is a problematic package. Replaces gzip, which is part of Arch base, meaning that the latter *should* be a part of every Arch install. Uses mkdir inside package() instead of install. Uses an embedded $(which pigz) and $(which unpigz) when creating symlinks, to find the defined pigz executable in the runtime environment, which means it will potentially create and install a symlink in /usr/bin that points to an arbitrary location, and also can lead to a different result in a clean chroot environment, a custom chroot environment, and user's own runtime environment when built with makepkg.

Former maintainer disowned this package on Nov 2, 2023, and did not express any objection to my deletion request.
Request #47892 has been Accepted by muflone [1]: [Autogenerated] Accepted deletion for pigz-gzip-symlink. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/muflone/
