[aur-requests] [PRQ#12647] Deletion Request for wireguard-module-arch
Foxboron [1] filed a deletion request for wireguard-module-arch [2]: Duplicate of wireguard-dkms [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/Foxboron/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/wireguard-module-arch/
wireguard-module-arch is no more a duplicate of wireguard-dkms than https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/virtualbox-host-modules-... is a duplicate of https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/virtualbox-host-dkms/ In fact, that's where I copied the idea and code from. I have a device without enough harddrive space for gcc that I needed wireguard on. On 9/8/18 6:52 PM, notify@aur.archlinux.org wrote:

Maybe the argument Foxboron was trying to make, is that it seemed useless to him -- not strictly a duplicate. Because admittedly, non-dkms packages for kernel modules does not seem to be especially useful in the AUR. They're primarily useful as binary packages in some hosted repo. I don't really object to having the PKGBUILD in the repos anyway, as the source for a binary repository, however, we currently have *two* versions, this and wireguard-module, neither of which would be the name I would choose (I would choose "wireguard"). Even though yours came first, it isn't getting updated for new core/linux releases. ... BTW, see how I independently implemented community/broadcom-wl. -- Eli Schwartz Bug Wrangler and Trusted User
Request #12647 has been accepted by yan12125 [1]: Although this is not a duplicate of wireguard-dkms, users should use either wireguard-module or wireguard-dkms instead of this one. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/yan12125/
