[PRQ#53507] Deletion Request for midori-git
ponchale [1] filed a deletion request for midori-git [2]: We have respectfully requested the change of the description of this package and we have received disrespect from the maintainer explicitly saying that the motto is misleading, I would like to escalate this case since we only requested the change of the description. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/ponchale/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/midori-git/
ponchale appears to be an official developer of the Midori project. He requested that the description be changed to “Midori Lightweight Web Browser, fast and secure”. Reasons for refusal were explained. ponchale made no attempt to address any of them, instead opting to open a frivolous deletion request. - The proposed description is self-referencing, in violation of Arch packaging guidelines. - The proposed description does not differentiate from previous Midori incarnations, based on different rendering engines. The distinction is needed because extra/midori is still based on the original webkit version. Obscuring Floorp origins offers no benefit. - The proposed description is potentially inaccurate. - Midori is not particularly fast. From my testing, Midori performs about 7-8% worse than Floorp, 21-25% worse than Firefox 121/122. (About average for Firefox ESR descendants.) - Midori is not lightweight. Installation requires about 260MB. The webkit version requires about 112MB, including webkit2gtk library.
Request #53507 has been Rejected by muflone [1]: xiota has explained multiple times the proposed description "Midori is .." is redundant and the actual description seems matching enough with the software itself. also this reason is not enough to justify a deletion request [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/muflone/
