alium [1] filed a deletion request for rtl8821ce-dkms [2]:

hi, rtl8821ce-dkms use git source (but -git suffix missing) and it is practically the same package as https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/rtl8821ce-dkms-git/ (maintained by driver developer). So there are two package, which are same.

Thank you.

It has also been deleted twice already, and the maintainer keeps re-uploading it.

Along with the -lts variants (seriously, and dkms package for the -lts kernel).

I agree that this should not be done, and I'm not sure why it was re-uploaded after being deleted for good reason. If a package is deleted by a Trusted User, it MUST NOT be re-uploaded unless the person re-uploading it is confident that the reason it was originally deleted no longer applies. Knowingly and intentionally violating this qualifies as rules evasion and will not be tolerated. It is the responsibility of the person wishing to re-upload the package to verify that it is reasonable to re-upload (e.g. deleted due to lack of interest rather than being a violation of the rules of submission). I strongly recommend doing your due diligence. If in doubt, ask a Trusted User on the mailing list or in Freenode IRC's #archlinux-aur channel. Mounir Erhili, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you overlooked the email alert that the package was deleted, and you git pushed without realizing it was removed. Twice in a row. :/ However, I will require your written confirmation that you realize the problem, will be more careful in the future, and this will not occur again. I've suspended your account for now, so you will not be able to accidentally or deliberately repeat the infraction before seeing this email. Please respond to this email and confirm that you've received the warning. Then I will agree to re-enable your account. -- Eli Schwartz Bug Wrangler and Trusted User
