[PRQ#43649] Merge Request for nodejs-tiddlywiki
MarsSeed [1] filed a request to merge nodejs-tiddlywiki [2] into tiddlywiki [3]: Source package is a later-created duplicate of the long-existing tiddlywiki package. As per guidelines, 'tiddlywiki' is the proper name. [a] [a]: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Node.js_package_guidelines [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/nodejs-tiddlywiki/ [3] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/tiddlywiki/
I think the packages tiddlywiki and nodejs-tiddlywiki serve two very different purposes: The tiddlywiki package installs tiddlywiki for local usage. It even has a dependency to xdg-utils that is not useful on a headless server. And supplies a python script that starts the local browser. The nodejs-tiddlywiki installs the nodejs-module to run a tiddlywiki-server [1]. It depends on the package nodejs because it is needed for this use case and contains no files or dependencies for using tiddlywiki locally. I am in favor of one unified tiddlywiki package, but if this package gets merged into the tiddlywiki package, the server use case should be considered there. What I do not like is installing unnecessary dependencies on my server. [1] https://tiddlywiki.com/#TiddlyWiki%20on%20Node.js
Request #43649 has been Rejected by MarsSeed [1]: Revoking request, based on feedback from maintainer Daniel Goß (@fs_developer). The two packages are for different use cases: tiddlywiki is for desktop installation, nodejs-tiddlywiky is a headless package for server use. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/
