Guys,
When I saw this discussion about sage-mathematics I was just wondering what is
customary when a TU
wants to adopt packages that are not his and are maintained by someone in the
AUR.
I had a couple of those (remmina-plugins and freerdp) and from one day to
another my packages were
'gone' from AUR. Only after that some TU sent me a message that he had taken my
packages. There was
nothing in the AUR ML about moving it.
Is this how this is usually done? I know developers aren't great communicators,
but it sure struck
me as impolite, rude even.
Thanks
yes. this is how we handle it. eventually we have to do that since you
or any other contributors can't commit to community and we want all our
users to easy access their favorite applications.
Is that really how we're supposed to handle it?
In my opinion, a TU should contact the current maintainer in advance to
discuss moving a package to [community]. Simply taking the package is
indeed impolite, regardless of the number of votes.
if you read his email, you'll see that an email was sent.
if the current maintainer doesn't want to be moved, you think that is a
democracy? :D
is not
