Hi everyone,
today I noticed I was unable to push to the AUR repository for the pijul
package with the server hook error message "remote: error: package already
provided by [community-testing]: pijul".
Sure enough, the package exists in the Community-Testing repository (see
https://archlinux.org/packages/community-testing/x86_64/pijul/).
Now, as far as I understand, packages can be "promoted" to the community /
community-testing repository, however, in this case it seems like a new
package with the same name has been created. Is this the usual procedure?
What will my responsibilities as packager of the AUR pijul package be? What
happens to the AUR package? Should I just leave it as it is? Submit a
delete request?
Thanks for your help!
Markus
My suggestion is to file a delete request. That's what I do when one
of my AUR packages goes to an official repository.
Best regards,

The question if the package will ever make it to community - most people
won't have community-testing enabled. It's not very typical for new
packages that weren't in the repositories before. My guess it was
because an alpha version was packaged, which shouldn't have been
packaged in the repos in the first place.
