MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for pikaur-aurnews [2]:
Disguised VCS package, 3rd resubmit after 2 deletions. [a]
It is btw a one-line modded duplicate of AUR/pikaur{,-git}, [b],
maintained on AUR by upstream, who in my experience is amenable to
user suggestions and collaboraiton.
@eggz has done this kind of thing multiple times now, see e.g.
the continuously broken mate-wayland-session-git (2nd resubmit), [c]
or the currently (and typically) broken ffmpeg-nocuda, duplicate of
Arch/extra/ffmpeg. [d]
