Hello everybody, following a lengthy discussion sublu just deleted my package virtualbox-extension-pack from AUR. This is what his package (virtualbox-ext-oracle) does:
* Install an archive file.
* Use install script to copy a number of files to /usr without pacman knowing
about it.
I think this is the wrong way, so I created my own package
(virtualbox-extension-pack) that tries to get it right:
* Just install the files required, "ready to use" for virtualbox.
* No crappy install script required!
My package had about 75 votes IIRC, probably there would have been more if
more people knew about the details. The discussing had a number of comments
that agreed about my opinion regarding installing/coping files to /usr with
pacman or the install script.
Although I think it is wrong seblu is free to provide his package via AUR.
But is there any good reason mine is not allowed to reside there?
