[aur-requests] [PRQ#36474] Deletion Request for powerpill
XeonDead [1] filed a deletion request for powerpill [2]: The author has disabled connections to his storage server based on GeoIP. Just so happens, I've been hit, so the package can't be built, or it's dependencies. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/XeonDead/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/powerpill/

Sounds like the dev is one of those helpful people who think it's really "helpful" to geoblock Russia right now. That sort of "help" doesn't belong in the AUR, in my opinion.
Unless *all* IP's are blocked throughout the world from downloading the sources, this should not be deleted. Revenge is not a valid reason for dropping a package from AUR. On 18 July 2022 10:08:33 GMT+02:00, "Christopher Snowhill (kode54) via aur-requests" <aur-requests@lists.archlinux.org> wrote:

Request #36474 has been Rejected by Xyne [1]: I'm sorry that you're blocked but I'm not in charge of that. The site is hosted by a third-party and some of their filters catch some users. Send me an email with details about your IP address and I'll forward it to the host to see if the filters can be adjusted. The source code is available so the request to delete the package is unfounded. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/Xyne/
