Hello
Recently I've filed a request to merge upower-pm-utils into
upower-nosystemd (comments by arcanis starting in
https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/aur-requests/2015-March/005436.html),
however you later rejected the request and merged upower-nosystemd
into
upower-pm-utils instead.
There were two conflicting requests [1] [2] to merge the two packages.
One of these requests was made from the maintainer of the
upower-nosystemd package [3] and he told us:
"I've agreed with the offer of upower-pm-utils maintainer to merge
these packages." [2]
Therefore the maintainer of upower-nosystemd asked us to delete the
package and merge it into upower-pm-utils (which has also a better name
and lacks any foolish nosytemd suffix).
I'm aware it's easy to change the PKGBUILD for my personal use; but
while booting to a different init is a fairly straightforward process,
removing systemd itself (and using eudev) is anything but. That latter
step would be necessary to use the package in question is misleading.
The package systemd if part of the core packages in Arch Linux,
everything that is against the official init system is entirely not
supported by the distribution, including on what happens on the AUR.
Please don't ask us to solve issues between the maintainers of two
unsupported packages. This is the main reason why I ask the requesters
to settle the things with the packages maintainers and don't force us
to
do a choice against a package or another.

Thanks Muflone, I wasn't aware of the second merge request and will keep
your advice in mind.
