Hi Derek, I just had a glimpse on your software and I see why it got mass-removed. Maybe you shouldn't describe the packages as: "My heavily-patched customized build of the Suckless simple terminal (st)." "My heavily-patched and customized build of the Suckless dmenu run launcher." I can only speculate, but did you use the same package description in the AUR? My suggestion to solve this: give the packages a new name and make clear that the software is a fork and something different. For example: pkgname: dst description: "dst (Derek's ST) is a suckless st inspired terminal with additional features"
