I like to think people follow this practice where they can anyway. I'd say counting -git packages for the votes is a bit of a stretch, but for those prefer doing so, be my guest.

Not sure if that is enough. archlinuxcn is an unofficial repository. I'd prefer it to go to community as it is an official repository, to be also accessible for those who use official repositories only. 2018-02-08 13:57 GMT-02:00 Eli Schwartz via aur-general : > So, it would probably be best for Rafael to poke svenstaro directly as > he maintains a lot of gaming packages, including "teeworlds". Good idea. I sent and I'm waiting for a reply. Still, my request is open to any TU that wants it. Rafael Fontenelle

Typical > guideline is at least 10 before uploading something to [community]. Well, there is a git package as well, and between the two there are ten voters. Many people don't vote for both the git package and the main package, but would likely use the main package if it was in the repos. That being said, none of this matters unless there is a TU either interested enough to maintain it already (which hasn't happened?) or interested in maintaining packages they don't use. So, it would probably be best for Rafael to poke svenstaro directly as he maintains a lot of gaming packages, including "teeworlds". -- Eli Schwartz Bug Wrangler and Trusted User signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
