Did you actually read what I explained what I did? because your first sentence would cause me to believe you didn't. I specifically said I did not delete any packages that had comments on them or any substantial amount of votes. This one packages that is being complained about had 3 votes, that is 2 more than any other packages, and all of the other ones were only voted on by the maintainer. > > > Bartłomiej Piotrowski wrote: > > >What's the point of your drama?

How about this, I would like to lodge a complaint against the TU that merged the package in the first place without checking for it's validity and following of packaging guidelines. > > As for my own anecdote, you will find many comments from me linking to updated > PKGBUILDs that I kindly *recommend* to the maintainer.
