[aur-requests] [PRQ#4780] Deletion Request for firefox-gtk2-bin
Eschwartz [1] filed a deletion request for firefox-gtk2-bin [2]: This and fossamail-bin by the same uploader appear to download and repack a pre-compiled *proper* package (stored in a GitHub repository !!! owned by the same user). This is the wrong use of the AUR -- it should be an unofficial repository. The PKGBUILD used to build those GitHubbed binaries could be uploaded maybe... but I don't think this is the right solution.

Although actually, there is already a firefox-gtk2 package. And the unofficial archlinuxcn repo has firefox-gtk2 ... -- Eli Schwartz
