[aur-requests] [PRQ#33927] Deletion Request for nidaqmx-dummy Rejected

[notify at aur.archlinux.org]

Request #33927 has been Rejected by MarsSeed [1]:

Closing this request as @AstroFloyd has explained
it does serve a legitimate purpose.

@AstroFloyd, the 'dummy' name is misleading, and also
the source URL pointing to "doesnotexist.sourceforge.com".

Please kindly rename and reupload this package without
its '-dummy' name suffix, as that implies that it is
deliberately nonfunctional and serves no purpose other
than being an empty package or to replace an existing
normal package with an empty and nonfunctional one.

Once you reuploaded it under a new name, you can submit a
merge request on the AUR page of nidaqmx-dummy, specifying
the new package name as the merge target. That way,
all the votes and comments from nidaqmx-dummy page
will be transferred to the page of the new package.

Additionally, please use local:// or file// protocol
in source URL and add an explanatory comment about
having to obtain the source archive manually.

See the Arch recommendations here:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Nonfree_applications_package_guidelines#Missing_files

Or you can even add a scripted message as seen here (line 17 and 21):
https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=oracle-sgdc-
bin#n17

Thanks for your cooperation,
Marcell
