You don't understand how merge requests actually work. The merge requests are *not* meant to signal "use this new package instead of this old package", they are meant to *merge* *the* *metadata* of the old package with the new package. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/at-spi2-atk-git This is an old package. 1 vote. 0 popularity. 0 comment. Unmaintained. https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/at-spi2-core-git Maintained package. 2 votes. Popularity 0.013132. Several comments. Why would you merge the metadata of the *old* package with the *new* package without even asking the maintainers if this is fine? at-spi2-core-git would end up inherting the metadata of the old package and you litterally don't want that. It would *remove* the comments of at-spi2-core-git, the votes *and* the popularity. This is why I told you to contact the maintainers of the packages you are dealing with instead of submitting merge requests at your own whim. Please read: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AUR_submission_guidelines#Merge And don't resubmit 5-6 requests by adopting them after the fact. It's a great way to piss off maintainers that is *really* tired of you. *Only* submit merge requests if you actually have talked with the maintainers of the package you are merging *into*. -- Morten Linderud PGP: 9C02FF419FECBE16
