[aur-requests] [PRQ#25832] Orphan Request for tangram

[notify at aur.archlinux.org]

sonny [1] filed an orphan request for tangram [2]:

The current maintainer of the package has replaced the package with
his own software.

It is causing issues as instructions to install tangram from AUR
exists in the wild - including in paper magazine.

We would like this package to be orphaned so that the maintainer of
tangram-web can reinstate the original purpose of this aur package.

I got in touch with them with the following email but received no
answer so far.


Hello David,

My name is Sonny, I'm the author of Tangram
https://github.com/sonnyp/tangram and the original submitter to the
AUR package https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/tangram/ .

I stopped using Arch Linux and hoped that someone would step in to
maintain the AUR package. Someone has but couldn't use the tangram
package anymore so they published it under tangram-web
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/tangram-web/

Unfortunately this is causing issues as instructions to install
Tangram through AUR still exists in the wild, including in printed
paper magazine such as Linux magazine, for example https://www.linux-
magazine.com/Issues/2020/235/Tangram "yay -S tangram".

I would be really grateful if you would publish your application on
aur under a different name and allow the maintainer of tangram-web to
take over ownership of tangram .

Cheers!
