[PRQ#59173] Deletion Request for android-file-transfer-linux
FabioLolix [1] filed a deletion request for android-file-transfer- linux [2]: Duplicate of android-file-transfer in [Extra], when this was uploaded it was questionable about its source=() which was a fork of https://github.com/whoozle/android-file-transfer-linux with only a new version tagged (doing this inconvenience repology.org) https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/commit/?h=android-file- transfer-linux&id=0750d55e04ef34ba42535fc6a8675015cdb64f84 Uploader seems was unaware of the existence of android-file-transfer in the Arch repo since 8 years
Of course I saw it until somebody decided to create a new package without -linux in its package name and that is why this.

Request #59173 has been Accepted by Antiz [1]: @MartinVonReich The android-file-transfer package in [extra] is now up-to-date [1] and under active maintenance again. Regardless of the above, I'm unsure about what intentions you're trying assign to us by accusing maintainers to "deliberately" not maintain this package and showing "no signs of interests of offering the 'latest & greatest' to end-users" but: 1 - Maintaining packages is a voluntary/unpaid effort (even for Arch staff) and life is a thing 2 - We are always happy about contributions [2], at least way more than users violating rules Indeed, the rules of submission for AUR packages [3] clearly states that "the submitted PKGBUILDs must not build applications already in any of the official binary repositories **under any circumstances**" *(this is actually the first sentence of that chapter)*. While the fact that the android-file-transfer [extra] package was *voluntarily* not actively maintained is debatable (despite your accusation), it is however pretty clear to me that you broke the above rule *deliberately*. Please make sure that your actions (and overall attitude) goes along with the rules and the Arch Linux Code Of Conduct [4].
