Arguments against the merge request: 1) archey3 is on the wiki <https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Archey3>, not archey4 2) archey3 is maintained in the [extra] repo <https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/any/archey3/>, not archey4 3) archey3-git is maintained on the AUR <https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/archey3-git>, there is no such thing as archey4-git 4) archey3-git is up-to-date with the upstream repo <https://github.com/lclarkmichalek/archey3> 5) archey3-git has 171 votes, archey4 has 16 votes 6) archey3 and archey4 are forks from different authors, so votes & comments should not be merged (stolen) into a whole different package
Argument for deletion: 1) The archey3 author has said he will archive his repo and will no longer maintain archey3 <https://github.com/lclarkmichalek/archey3/issues/52#issuecomment-1663777320> Arguments against deletion: 1) I contacted the TU Alexander Rødseth that maintains the [extra] archey3 package, he would need to consider maintaining archey4 in [extra] rather than archey3 before we consider for deletion archey3-git 2) When the TU does that, I would need to start maintaining archey4-git, before I submit for deletion archey3-git Sincerely, HLFH > On 1 Aug 2023, at 17:26, not...@aur.archlinux.org wrote: > > MarsSeed [1] filed a request to merge archey3-git [2] into archey4 > [3]: > > As discussed with maintainer @HLFH in comments 10+ months ago, this > application has been superseded by continuation fork archey4.
