I have an XY issue in the script that runs the software release. I wanted to keep both the GitHub repository and the AUR repository synchronized, but with the SHA it becomes difficult to do so. Therefore, in the GitHub repository it will be left as SKIP, while it will be calculated in the AUR repository. Fix >= 0.16.3

While I disagree with your point, ghostmirror now uses zlib-ng directly instead of zlib, so the end user is free to use zlib for all their other software. I think we can close this discussion since it's no longer a packaging issue.

It is up to the users to decide, this is Arch after all, it's all about choices. I use it myself. I just find it strange to enforce that choice so aggressively. If it's that good then maybe it'll become the default and replace the current zlib package.

The zlib-ng-compat dependency provides zlib; I chose this dependency for performance reasons. As of now, I see no reason not to use the zlib-ng-compat package directly instead of the old zlib; after all, ng is the new, more performant version. Since people continue to insist on using older packages, I've decided to integrate zlib-ng directly into ghostmirror.

Why does it explicitly depend on zlib-ng-compat? Afaik it doesn't offer new features, only optimizations for the end users.
