No you don't need a TU's help, you just need an explanation as to how the AUR expects you to do what you want to do. > I contacted the previous maintainer of this package (Wesley Moore) > regarding this package since it wasn't populating in the aur.

I can't see it on aur.archlinux.org either so not sure I can add you as > a maintainer. This was silly, "there are now proper releases" is not a reason to dislike the idea of having the option to install a development release. >> >> Regards, >> Wes > > I can clone fd-rs-git, but am unable to push changes to the aur: > >> ยป git push origin master >> Counting objects: 5, done. >> Delta compression using up to 4 threads. >> Compressing objects: 100% (5/5), done. >> Writing objects: 100% (5/5), 1021 bytes | 1021.00 KiB/s, done. >> Total 5 (delta 1), reused 0 (delta 0) >> remote: error: invalid pkgbase: fd-git, expected fd-rs-git >> remote: error: hook declined to update refs/heads/master >> To ssh://aur.archlinux.org/fd-rs-git.git >> ! [remote rejected] master -> master (hook declined) >> error: failed to push some refs to 'ssh:// > [email protected]/fd-rs-git.git' The hook told you exactly the problem: you cannot push an fd-git pkgbase to the fd-rs-git repository. You will need to push an fd-rs-git pkgbase containing updates that were inspired by fd-git. Once you have created the updated fd-rs-git pkgbase, you can submit a merge request to have the comments for fd-git transferred to the fd-rs-git package. But I wouldn't bother as the only comments are discussing the actual move. Just resubmit the software as an update to the fd-rs-git package, and submit a deletion request for the fd-git package. -- Eli Schwartz
