@Kimiblock

I see that you maintain lots of AUR packages, and we thank you for that. Surely you understand that the goal is to make life better for users, correct?

a. Your "zero modification" decision alone is subjective and fine. But the problem is that before AUR guideline is updated you own this and your action like taking over aur/wechat-bin means there cannot be a second voice. Bottom line is this: your decision affects others in a unwelcome way. Please be considerate and keep this in mind.

b. Could you compare your current packaging to https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=wechat-bin&id=ff5abcb543e919021bdaf577b4a9786376fe3965 and assess if situation can be improved? I'm just a noob but @SamLukeYes reported that current version is not as good as before and you didn't seem to care.

c. Or could you just leave aur/wechat-bin alone and focus on aur/wechat instead? You have aur/wechat already. Do you have to take over aur/wechat-bin in a way like this or what? How about letting the users decide/vote on what to use.

Please.

@SamLukeYes Yeah... aur/wechat still exists for a reason. This zero modification decision is made between me and a PM due to some problematic users disturbing other people constantly.

A caution for the new users:

In case you don't trust/like the current and/or the future PKGBUILD of this aur package, you may have a look at the PKGBUILD of the original wechat-bin on https://github.com/devome/wechat-bin

See this link, this link, and the full git history of this package for more information.

If you want to know more, search wechat in the aur-request list and sort the items by latest first.

Anyway, as the aur wiki always said:

Warning: AUR packages are user-produced content. These PKGBUILDs are completely unofficial and have not been thoroughly vetted. Any use of the provided files is at your own risk.

The desktop entry provided by this package is not usable. It tries to execute /usr/bin/wechat, which does not exist.

Shut up. Unless you take the responsibility when others' app break due to lack of dependencies, which obviously you won't because trolling is the only thing you're doing

A "Vanilla" version with unnecessary dependencies. well done. Go fxxk yourself!
