Not that I owe you any explanation of how and when I maintain my project, but here's a brief summary for the sake of whoever is reviewing this. I have not abandoned my project. I was going through life stuff for a while, but I've been developing again lately, and I'm preparing to release MoreWaita v47 in about 10 days with many new icons and a structural refactoring that may break stuff. It did for me locally. I've been developing offline not to spam the git tree with half-baked stuff. I've almost finished the refactoring and started working on icons including the pending requests hoping to commit them for those on the git version before the new release is ready, but now I can't even update my system install with the new commits without having to edit the hijacked PKGBUILD. The author of the fork you have linked this package to also assumed the project was dead, having waited "2-3 days" for an answer to an icon request. When I told him though, he said he was going to change the project name and continue on his own path. Here's a link to his own words if you haven't read my comment on the AUR: https://www.reddit.com/r/gnome/comments/1fkjsdq/comment/lo6knc0/ Interesting how neither of you even thought of reaching out with a simple question. Not to mention an offer of co-maintenance or a takeover request. There are more criteria to deeming a project abandoned than just a few months of inactivity and a few ungranted requests, not bugs, mind you. So, effectively, you are hijacking this package by linking it to a fork while using the original name of a live project. There's nothing stopping you from creating a new package for the forked project using a different name like `morewaita-fork-git` or something entirely different. The point here being the fork is not MoreWaita. The `morewaita-git` package name belongs with the original project that has not been abandoned nor it's name relinquished. So please either disown the package or change its source to the original MoreWaita repo that I maintain, and do whatever you wish with the new forked repo. Till then, I'll keep insisting you stop hijacking the package name. On Sat, 21 Sept 2024, 15:15 Kainoa Kanter, < [email protected]> wrote: > "inappropriate humor"?
