[aur-requests] [PRQ#3877] Deletion Request for polyml-svn
xrchz [1] filed a deletion request for polyml-svn [2]: Poly/ML development has moved to a git repository. I have replaced this package with polyml-fixes-git. (There could also be a polyml-git for the mainline development version, rather than the fixes-to-released-version here, but I haven't made it because I don't need it at the moment.) I think this polyml-svn package is now obsolete and can be deleted. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/xrchz/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/polyml-svn/
Request #3877 has been rejected by alucryd [1]: This package should be merged into polyml-git, not one with a random suffix. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/alucryd/
It's not a random suffix. The change from polyml-svn to polyml-fixes-git incorporates two changes: firstly, naming the package more accurately (polyml-fixes rather than polyml) because this package tracks the "bug fixes to last release" upstream; secondly, switching to git rather than svn. A separate polyml-git package could track the "latest development version" upstream. These different packages represent a real choice by the user as to whether they want a stable or latest (possibly broken) version of polyml.
