Hi,
A former TU has kindly made me aware that it looks like I disagree
with the overall point here, which is that one should not make changes
like the ones I made without first discussing it with the rest of the
maintainers.
I fully agree with this, and has already apologized for doing so, just
Hi Xyne,

Of course the PKGBUILDs and everything else in the repos belong to Arch, not
each individual packager. I didn't mean that it was disrespectful in the sense

Hello,
First of all, sorry for not communicating this before making the
changes. I honestly thought this would be considered to be such a
minor change and such a minor issue (even though it affects many
packages), that it would not be worth communicating first. If I had
been aware of previous

I think you also missed this case, given that the single quote ' is

The lack of communication really is the key issue here. It is disrespectful to
other packagers to improve their packages this way.
