Maybe the argument Foxboron was trying to make, is that it seemed useless to him -- not strictly a duplicate. Because admittedly, non-dkms packages for kernel modules does not seem to be especially useful in the AUR. They're primarily useful as binary packages in some hosted repo. I don't really object to having the PKGBUILD in the repos anyway, as the source for a binary repository, however, we currently have *two* versions, this and wireguard-module, neither of which would be the name I would choose (I would choose "wireguard"). Even though yours came first, it isn't getting updated for new core/linux releases. ... BTW, see how I independently implemented community/broadcom-wl. -- Eli Schwartz Bug Wrangler and Trusted User
