Hi, It is great that you want to look after your own package. However the way you chose to do so is not how to get maintainership of one. Basically you created a duplicate package with an obfuscated name (going against the current convention of naming gnome-shell themes) and asked a Trusted User to merge an existing one into yours. While at the same time not even leaving a comment on the existing package asking for mainainership or at the very least to discuss your plans. I am more than happy to disown the package for you to pickup however please consider to act in a more circumspect manner in regards to stripping other users of packages. Best regards, Gordian Edenhofer

BTW I noticed that both of you got the pkgver wrong in different ways. The original package uses a commit count without prefixing that using "r", so now there is no sane upgrade path to the newly tagged v3.26 (based on a completely divergent history of course) as per https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/VCS_package_guidelines#Git The duplicate package includes the "v" and a Useless Use of Echo... You'll have no choice now but to include an epoch in order to preserve a monotonically increasing pkgver. -- Eli Schwartz Bug Wrangler and Trusted User

The missing 'r' is on me. I introduced this mishap when I first wrote the package and was to reluctant to change it ever since due to some nonsensical aesthetic reasons. Concerning the package itself. The author of the theme and I came to an agreement off-list. I disowned the package subsequently and he will from now on maintain it (using a proper version schema :D).

Well, I have at least one package I adopted that is in the same boat :p I won't add an epoch until I actually have to.

Great. :) -- Eli Schwartz Bug Wrangler and Trusted User
Request #10727 has been rejected by Eschwartz [1]: Changing the pkgbase to something that goes against the usual naming practices, in order to take over a package from the maintainer via Trusted User intercession, is not done. The new pkgbase will be deleted. You can discuss the original pkgbase with the current maintainer -- I see he has added you as a co- maintainer anyway so there's no need for this request anyway.
