When it first appeared (it was yesterday) it was empty PKGBUILD with description "I'm not trollin" and foo.patch which had 256MB. The patch seemed to be an empty file (like dd if=/dev/zero of=file). I thought the uploader will ask for deletion soon but I didn't see anyone asking for deletion of the package so I checked it on the AUR. It was there but the patch had 1GB! So I asked for deletion myself. Lukas
