[aur-requests] [PRQ#17157] Deletion Request for f5vpn
HailHydra [1] filed a deletion request for f5vpn [2]: Package contains university specific installation files with no indication of such in package naming or description. The 'linux_f5vpn.x86_64.rpm' file is specific to the university it is downloaded from, this can be seen by the differing hash sums of the file linked in the PKGBUILD ("https://it.emory.edu/vpntools/linux_f5vpn.x86_64.rpm") and one provided by a different university (ie. "https://vpn.uts.edu.au/public/download/linux_f5vpn.x86_64.rpm") [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/HailHydra/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/f5vpn/
The package absolutely does not contain university-specific installation files. The reason the two linked files contain different hashes is that they are different versions. Steps to verify this: 1. Download both RPMs 2. Extractthe RPM 3. Open ${srcdir}/opt/f5/vpn/f5vpn in the editor of your choice 4. Search for the text Version: 5. Notice that it.emory.edu's RPM is version 7171.2018.0808.1, while vpn.uts.edu.au's RPM is version 7181.2019.0620.1 These RPMs would have been downloaded originally from F5's website by downloading the APM Clients ISO (latest version is 7182.2019.923.1603-4727.0) and copying linux_f5vpn.x86_64.rpm. This ISO does not vary based on who downloads it. On Wed, Jan 1, 2020 at 7:50 AM <notify@aur.archlinux.org> wrote:

Request #17157 has been rejected by diabonas [1]: According to the package maintainer (https://web.archive.org/save/https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/aur- requests/2020-January/036042.html), the source files are not university-specific, so I am rejecting this request. If there are further issues with this package, please discuss them in the package comments first before filing a request. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/diabonas/
