@PolarianDev Each of four packages provides different variants of goldendict, based on an older qt version, pull request, or fork. They are not duplicates of each other; presumably at least one person prefers installing each in specific situations.

This package here conflicts with goldendict, which is simpler than listing every single variant. There was once a stable goldendict in the AUR, and might be in the future. If you think it should exist, please upload it. Upstream hasn't tagged a release in seven years, so I personally wouldn't use it.

If you have questions about packaging standards please raise them on irc/forums/mailing lists/reddit. I don't think this is the correct place for this. I can't reply further to someone who is refusing to read the extensive documentation that Arch contributors have written for all of us.

Wait... why is there duplicates of the same executable?

Normally this is an issue when you have -git and then the release variant, but this is not the case here.

This is a mess...

Because it's provided by every other goldendict-* packages, again please read the wiki. We are not going to write packages by listing out every possible conflicting package. The whole point of having provides is that it can act as a substitute dependency as well as a target to conflict against.

PolarianDev commented on 2023-03-02 12:14 (UTC)

I am aware what both the keywords mean, my point was why conflict a package which does not exist?

@PolarianDev you should probably review the wiki and check what conflicts and provides mean.

Anyway if you want to make a versioned release package (i.e. plain goldendict)... no one is stopping you?

The goldendict namespace seems completely messed up, why is there no simple "goldendict" aur package?

I get there is -git but what if you dont want -git?

eclairevoyant commented on 2023-03-01 14:36 (UTC)

@PolarianDev There are multiple goldendict-* packages, and as per AUR packaging guidelines, we should always provide/conflict with the base package rather than specifying individual packages to conflict with. So it doesn't matter if goldendict exists or not.

@PolarianDev: There was goldendict package until qt5-webkit wasn't deprecated.

PolarianDev commented on 2023-03-01 12:32 (UTC)

Why is there a conflict set to goldendict when no such package exists?
