[aur-requests] [PRQ#12064] Deletion Request for popcorntime-bin
flacks [1] filed a deletion request for popcorntime-bin [2]: Package reportedly packages viruses/spyware https://www.popcorn- time.is/official-statement.html [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/flacks/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/popcorntime-bin/
Request #12064 has been rejected by Eschwartz [1]: He said, she said, they all said. Some shady software says about another shady software, that the other one is malware, and suddenly we delete things without proof? The package maintainers have offered reasonable-sounding rebuttals to this claim, and the packages appear to have moved to not using precompiled release artifacts that might be malicious viruses/spyware. As far as I can tell, there's no sufficient reason to delete this on the grounds of it containing a virus/spyware, hence this deletion request as-is should not be accepted.
