if you read the pkgbuild you would know.

The tool doesn't check. I have to do that by hand. I'm not aware of
any tool that does. I suppose I could work on adding that
functionality as it would be really useful. I'm getting tired of
checking.

Instead of asking me not to make a mistake how about we allow authors
to delete there own packages from AUR? Or maybe Make AUR smarter and
reject packages that are in one of the other repos.

problem is I've got more packages and am adding more every day. for
every 1 I've asked you to delete I've added (or adopted) about 20 (to
the tune that I maintain over 300 now and growing). I'm trying to make
sure I check every package before uploading. but sometimes I screw up.

I've got a system that I'm working on that's helping to keep me from
doing this. I now have a partial list (well really the templates I
generate from) of what I'm actually maintaining here
http://github.com/xenoterracide/AURpan .

I still have to check cpanp -o daily to see what's out of date, that's
not on that list. Then I try to check to see if it's on aur or in an
arch repo and respond appropriately. Again, sometimes I screw up.

I suppose the final option is to make me a TU so that I can handle my
own deletions.
