Hi everyone
I've felt that it's necessary to summarize up my thoughts towards this
messy WeChat situation on the AUR.
Above all, the "wechat-uos-bwrap" is the first package containing the
new (and originally leaked on a BBS...) so called "Universal" version on
the AUR. And there a clearly evidences showing that other packages such
as "wechat-beta-bwrap" and "wechat-universal-bwrap" (sorry for the typo
before) are duplicate packages of the original "wechat-uos-bwrap". Thus,
according to the AUR submission guidelines[a] such packages should not
be submitted to AUR in the first place. If one want to change the
package name, they should discuss this in the comments area under the
package details in the AURWeb.
First of all let me try to understand the correct situation, I've read
all the previous messages and it seems to me Tencent still maintains
both softwares/versions at the same time.
If this is correct, where BOTH versions are still updated regularly,
then both packages can co-exist in the AUR.
At the opposite, whenever a package is the older version and a newer -
even if entirely different (QT vs Electron) then the newer version
should replace the previous version, regardless the backend framework used.
What is the current situation for both softwares?
Sorry but I'm not familiar with Chinese and I might misunderstand by
trying to read the qq website by myself.
