BloodyAltair [1] filed a request to merge geos-php [2] into php-geos- git [3]: Due to the fact that the old package(geos-php) no longer makes sense (due to the fact that since version 3.6.0 the extension has a separate repository accessible only through git; see https://github.com/libgeos/geos#php ) [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/BloodyAltair/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/geos-php/ [3] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/php-geos-git/
