[PRQ#57991] Merge Request for wechat-universal-bwrap
Kimiblock [1] filed a request to merge wechat-universal-bwrap [2] into wechat-uos-bwrap [3]: Duplicated package (see https://lists.archlinux.org/hyperkitty/list/aur- general@lists.archlinux.org/thread/T4I2ZYPOPHTIKYJTUSB7CMHSNA6BHIZ7/ for more details) [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/Kimiblock/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/wechat-universal-bwrap/ [3] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/wechat-uos-bwrap/
This Merge Request shall be rejected as com.tencent.wechat (WeChat (Universal)) and com.tencent.weixin (WeChat) are two distinct upstream packages. They save data in different internal formats, and are maintained separately upstream. wechat-uos-bwrap[a] packs the source of .wechat / -universal and refuses to correct itself to pack the same source as wechat-uos[b]: .wexin / non-universal. And there's also no reason for this PRQ if the maintainer of -uos-bwrap wants every one of these wechat packages merged into -uos: they shall wait for -uos's orphan request to be passed, then adopt it and merge everything into -uos. There's no particular reason for intermediate merges into -uos-bwrap. If there shall be merge happening, it would be the other way around: -uos into -universal, lower voted and less maintained into higher voted and more maintained.

Hi all, As explained in aur-general[a][b], wechat-universal-bwrap is indeed a duplicate package of wechat-uos-bwrap. And should be merged due to the confusion[c] caused by it. As a side note, the original package was renamed to `wechat-uos-qt`, which now provides & replaces wechat-universal-bwrap. Looking forward to PMs' action, as the confusion is growing in the community... [a]: https://lists.archlinux.org/archives/list/aur-general@lists.archlinux.org/me...

Request #57991 has been Rejected by Muflone [1]: unfortunately there seems not to be a clear consensus what to do with all the wechat packages as all the parts have their points. More than 5 months have passed and no decisions were took by anyone. Closing as unresolved [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/Muflone/
