[arch-general] About package guidelines

[Óscar García Amor]

Hi,

When a user submit a package to AUR must follow package guidelines.
There is an interesting point that says that in the top of PKGBUILD
you must respect the previous contributors [1] and credit them (if
any).

I'm surprised that this is not respected by the trusted users when
they pick an arbitrary package that is maintained in AUR and upload it
to the community repository without crediting anyone of past
maintainers. I saw this course of acting in several packages and don't
like to me. It seems to me a total lack of respect towards the person
or people who have been keeping the package so far.

If users of the AUR are required to have a minimum of netiquette, more
should be required of TUs.

Greetings.
