What's stopping you from doing a sed replace from a small bash script?
Would save you the time, and not clutter the AUR.
Why would I do that and do a nonstandard script when I can just have a
package do it also there isn't any cluttering, this is one meta package
not harming you or anyone else while making it easier for me to maintain
packages.
This isn't winning you any points, maybe leave an email as a draft for
a while next time if you're feeling frustrated, and get back to it a
while later to revise it?
It would help with the email being fractured too.
what points? I'm not the one removing packages that don't affect or harm
you for no reason and being toxic, so I have nothing to worry about, my
email replies have every right and justification to be frustrated as
this has feels targeted, doesn't break the rules or answer the following
from my previous reply
"tell me why it needs to be removed when it's not affecting anyone nor
breaking the rules, if you can't tell me why or where this breaks any
rules then there is no reason to remove this and I feel like I am being
targeted yet again for no reason."
update all my packages just to fix this while getting complains that the
apps stopped working
That's why you're being suggested to update them now, to avoid this situation.
Am sure there's no issue with giving you a little bit of time for
migration if you need it and ask for it.
I don't need to change anything, everything is working fine as is
Anyways the vote got rejected so there is no point continuing the
conversation as it wont be removed
Cheers
Corey

this toxic place where it seems like no one has social
skills ad thinks they need to tell everyone how to do everything
This isn't winning you any points, maybe leave an email as a draft for

I would have to go go through and
update all my packages just to fix this while getting complains that the
apps stopped working

Also sorry for the multiple email replies but I had to add this to add
to my point, do you realize how much time I am saving with this meta
package, I am thinking and working smart not hard here as a single
developer for multiple packages that depend on electron but I have way
more control over electron versioning to ensure stability, if anything
goes wrong I can simply update libelectron-electron-meta once to solve
the issue for multiple packages allowing me to easily expand on more
packages and quickly fix and maintain in case of any issues arise
instead of either waiting for the developers and package maintainers to
update or downgrade the electron package and be stuck in limbo, then
what? I have to inform the users ooh I can't do anything about it and
you need to wait until Arch or the electron devs fix the issue? nah, I
can simply update the meta package to quickly resolve any issues. this
isn't harmful to you of the users nor is breaking the rules
So tell me why it needs to be removed when it's not affecting anyone nor
breaking the rules, if you can't tell me why or where this breaks any
rules then there is no reason to remove this and I feel like I am being
targeted yet again for no reason.

Hi Corey
Hi guys I have been in conversation with a someone on my AUR package who
decided to request my package to.be removed
Please provide valid reasons for this package existence and the reason to keep
it in AUR.
In the forum where you wrote previously someone suggested you some changes to
the libelectron packages but they weren't addressed.
Of course "it's useful for me" is not a meaningful reason.
Regards
Muflone
