Package deletions will remove the website listing and comments, but will not remove the git repo backing it, because we want to preserve history. You may be able to find the reason it was deleted by searching through the aur-requests mailing list. Any deleted package can be restored by ssh'ing to the AUR and running the 'restore ' command, or alternatively by cloning, appending a new commit, and pushing the new history. (You may be able to simply push the current version, I am not sure.) Of course, you should probably try to make sure the reason it was initially deleted does not still apply. :) As per the AUR standards, you cannot force-push and remove the history, even of a deleted package, so simply treat this the same way you would treat a package that you took over maintenance for. Essentially, that is what happened anyway, except you also have to trigger the recreation of the website listing as well... -- Eli Schwartz signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Hey, just to be clear: I did not and do not want to move any php56 related packages to the Arch repo at any point. It seems there was some confusion on that topic, so I have quoted the important part from the original mail below: On 10.05.17 - 13:49, Thore Boedecker via aur-general wrote: > > The packages that I would like to move to [community], if the current > maintainers agree, are: > - amavisd-new > - amavisd-milter > - perl-convert-tnef (required for amavisd-new) > - perl-convert-uulib (required for amavisd-new) > - libspf2 > Cheers, Thore signature.asc Description: PGP signature

I'm not an expert but guess `git push -u ` should make the deal.

[aur-general] Cabal-install-git package
Hello, I created a PKGBUILD for cabal-install (from git) and wanted to upload it to the aur. [1] When I fetched the repository from the server, I got a PKGBUILD that already exists, but isn't listed on the website. #archlinux on freenode told me, that can happen when a repository was deleted from the aur. Is it possible to get my version in? Or was it removed, because a git HEAD version of cabal-install is considered superseeded by something from the official repos? ongy [1] https://github.com/Ongy/cabal-install-PKGBUILD signature.asc Description: PGP signature
