This package has now switched to Qt 6 instead of Qt 5. If you want to keep using Qt 5 instead, then please switch to polymc-qt5-git.

@hockeymikey Given the "maintainer" of the project has been banned from the AUR, this is unlikely, and as the maintainer has shown himself to be a security risk, giving control to him or someone who would do as he asks, thus violating the ban by proxy, is a no-go.

The current maintainer of this project is fine being so, as nothing has changed, but if the staff find that the upstream package is in some way compromised further, it'll be promptly deleted from the repos.

Also, none of what cafkafk said was incorrect. If you're going to assert that to be the case, I implore you to give reason for that, or not make such a foolish claim.

Finally, with regards to the user's interests at heart, if that were true, you'd be telling them to switch to the new fork, as that one is actually actively developed, Lenny's fork is not. it has no developers working on it, and the only thing he has managed to do is be inflammatory.

@cafkafk Factually incorrect. It's clear you're a new user which brings up concerns about your motivations especially considering your Github too.

@Scrumplex LOC don't mean much, TBH. But either way, you're not with the project anymore and you are working on the fork rather, which is fine. I think the maintainer of the project should be given access or a third party like myself. Not that I'm a perfect maintainer, only been using Arch for a year, but I do what I can and have users interest at heart.

@Vencorr: Have you looked at the commit history? The current maintainer basically didn't do anything. They were just holding the metaphorical keys.

Vencorr commented on 2022-10-18 08:12 (UTC)

@cafkafk This is the dumbest thing I have ever heard. Is a project creator not allowed to take control of the very project he helped maintain and create? He got upset with his contributors, regardless of reason behind it. He has every right to decide how he wants his project maintained.

And this is far from anything hostile. If this is hostile, take off your socks and go outside.

I would consider only this AUR as compromised.

This package should be considered unsafe and the maintainer should be considered compromised, as should the upstream git repository.

As outlined in this complaint to github, “lennyLennington” has done a hostile takeover of the project to promote a hateful ideology.

This also break the arch code of conduct:

https://terms.archlinux.org/docs/code-of-conduct/?rdfrom=https%3A%2F%2Fwiki.archlinux.org%2Findex.php%3Ftitle%3DCode_of_conduct%26redirect%3Dno

specifically I call attention to this section:

https://terms.archlinux.org/docs/code-of-conduct/?rdfrom=https%3A%2F%2Fwiki.archlinux.org%2Findex.php%3Ftitle%3DCode_of_conduct%26redirect%3Dno#respect-other-users

Arch Linux is a respectful, inclusive community. Anti-social or offensive behaviour will not be tolerated. Simply put, treat others as you would be treated; respect them and their views, even if you disagree with them. When you do find yourself disagreeing; counter the idea or the argument, rather than engage in ad hominem attacks.

Further, it is my understanding that he has been trying to find like minded AUR maintainers to help him get away with doing this on the projects discord.

I think these concerns need to be addressed to ensure the integrity of the code in the AUR.

TL;DR: PolyMC considered harmful due to politically motivated takeover

Use this to get the correct version in pkgver()

_tag="$(git describe --tags $(git rev-list --tags --max-count=1) | sed 's/openmw-//')"                                                                                                     
_numcommits="$(git rev-list  `git rev-list --tags --no-walk --max-count=1`..HEAD --count)"
_hash="$(git rev-parse --short HEAD)"
printf "%s.r%s.g%s" "$_tag" "$_numcommits" "$_hash"

@Thect36 Try a clean build.
