[aur-requests] [PRQ#20404] Deletion Request for uml_utilities-fixed
eschwartz [1] filed a deletion request for uml_utilities-fixed [2]: Duplicate of uml_utilities. You must not upload "-fixed" packages. Instead, submit an orphan request for the original package. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/eschwartz/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/uml_utilities-fixed/
Request #20404 has been accepted by eschwartz [1]: Under no circumstances is the "-fixed" package permitted in the AUR. We do not "rename it back". We remove the invalid "-fixed" package instead. I wish to be very very clear on this: if you want this package fixed, your ONLY option is to request it to be orphaned. In 14 days, the maintainer who as noted is gone, will be disowned and you can fix the package. It is extremely easy, and we are willing to help you get the package into good shape. Please do the right thing. Do not upload duplicates. Do not condone people uploading duplicates. This creates more work for us because now we need to get rid of the duplicate AND process an orphan request, and in the meantime it's cluttering the database, the search results, and (permanently and irrevocably) the git backend storage. All it does is make everyone unhappy. P.S. I'm really unhappy about this. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/eschwartz/
