Hello, Thank you, I just wanted to get something black-on-white to point the maintainer of https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/popular-packages/ to. He was requested by an TU to not bundle the source in the tarball a month ago and I told him again yesterday that you're not allowed to, and his response was that it wasn't written anywhere that it wasn't allowed and he "reminded me that I'm not a TU" -- Kindest Regards, Johannes "Kyrias" Löthberg Key ID: D84845F1 595C 8E08 DAE1 4A56 492C F750 BE76 C444 D848 45F1
