Re: [aur-requests] [PRQ#17024] Deletion Request for backupchecker Accepted
Hi Philip
Hi, Why was this package deleted? I see no actual deletion request on aur-requests, and no comments or explanation, just a sudden deletion. Thanks,
A deletion request for package backupchecker was filed on 2019-12-16 13:48 by the AUR user dncrash with the following reason: "Package seems to be dead. The github is completely gone so the sources can't be downloaded. I think their website was backupcheckerproject.org and that's also dead." The package was removed accordingly to the deletion request as the sources are not available anymore. For a reason unknown to me, the deletion email seems not sent [1] to the aur-requests lists but it was visible on the AUR requests administration panel. Feel free to resubmit the package again if you want to maintain it and the sources are still available somewhere. You could simply clone the AUR package, the old package is still there with its whole history, it's only not visible in the AUR webpage anymore.

It would have been nice if "dncrash" had posted a comment first - it took 30 seconds to Googling to find the source is still available on PyPi: https://pypi.org/project/backupchecker/ I have resubmitted with the new upstream details. For a reason unknown to me, the deletion email seems not sent [1] to the
aur-requests lists but it was visible on the AUR requests administration panel.
Thanks - that's the part that confused me since I couldn't see the original request in the archive.
