Pakrohk [1] filed a deletion request for 9router-webui-plasma-git [2]:

Dear AUR Maintainers,

I am writing to formally request the deletion of the package 9router-
webui-plasma-git from the AUR. I am the original submitter of this
package.

After deeper investigation and practical testing, I have come to
realize that the packaging approach I initially took was fundamentally
flawed. The main reasons for this request are as follows:

   1. Incorrect Build Method: The 9router project is officially
distributed and maintained as an npm package. The correct and intended
way to install it is by using the pre-built binary from the npm
registry, not by cloning the Git repository and building from source.

   2. Heavy Dependencies & Long Build Times: Building from source
(-git) forces users to install heavy dependencies such as bun,
next.js, tailwindcss, python, make, and others. This process is time-
consuming, resource-intensive, and entirely unnecessary, as the
project itself provides a ready-to-use binary.

   3. Replacement Package Available: I have already created a properly
structured replacement package named 9router-webui-bin. This new
package follows the official method (using the npm tarball with bun),
installs in seconds, and provides the same functionality without any
of the drawbacks of the -git version.

   4. User Confusion: Keeping the old package active may mislead users
into choosing an inefficient installation method when a much better
alternative already exists.

For all the reasons above, I kindly request that the package 9router-
webui-plasma-git be removed from the AUR. I take full responsibility
for the initial mistake and apologize for any inconvenience this may
have caused to users or maintainers.

Thank you for your time and understanding.

Sincerely,
pakrohk
