Hi @oech3 and TU team, Thank you for looking out for AUR quality. Regarding "bad packaging": The packages have just been completely refactored. They no longer use debtap. The PKGBUILD is written from scratch using bsdtar, all dependencies were audited with namcap and ldd, and a fully automated GitLab CI/CD pipeline pushes updates every hour. The pkgver() dynamically fetches the latest version from Microsoft's APT repository. Regarding the "dupe" claim: I created these without the -bin suffix because the existing -bin packages were severely outdated/orphaned. If the strict AUR policy mandates the -bin suffix for these precompiled binaries, I am more than happy to delete my 4 packages, provided I can adopt the existing microsoft-edge-*-bin packages and transfer my CI/CD automation to them so they stay perfectly up to date. Let me know how you'd like to proceed.
