Re: [aur-general] A TU keeps removing harmless and relevant comments from my package's webpage

This is something that comes up from time to time. In general, a TU (or dev) should ask the current maintainer before moving a package from the AUR to a repo. This has been considered common courtesy as long as I've been here at least. There is nevertheless no real obligation to do so and everyone should understand that uploading a package to the AUR is sharing it with the community. Digging your claws into it and calling it your precious is not really in line with the spirit of the AUR. It is understandable to want to maintain a package when you are also the upstream developer. In general I think we encourage this and I doubt that any TU or dev would insist on moving such a package against the developer's wishes, so I think your comments are unnecessary and inappropriate. That said, I do not agree that they should have been deleted and I feel that a TU has clearly abused his privileges. I also find it ironic that you are so adamant that others respect your wishes regarding your package while you flagrantly disregard official guidelines for packages on the AUR along with strong official recommendations from several TUs. Given how visible your infringing package has now become I will say this clearly: if you do not remove the script from your package then the package will be deleted. Others have already suggested free online hosting for your script so you have no excuse to keep it in the tarball. It would be equally great if our TUs would refrain some such childish actions and recall what the 'T' stands for. Wait, doesn't the 'T' stand for Troll? Or was it Tyrannical? Touchy? Silliness aside, I hope that the responsible TU will step forward and admit to abusing his AUR privileges. I'll get the hot coals ready. Regards, Xyne
[aur-general] Merge Request: java-jce_ustrength7 java-jce_ustrength
Since java7 is now the default one, these are the same package so drop java-jce_ustrength7. If anyone needs it for java6 they should make a java-jce_ustrength6 package. ~kev

Tofu has been folded into python2-soya, so it is no longer needed. -Aaron DeVore
