@xiota could you please add yourself as maintainer in the PKGBUILD if you're assuming maintainership?

Package needed maintainer action to align to package guidelines. The previous maintainer did not respond to a request for nine months, which is more than long enough to consider the package de facto unmaintained. Previous maintainer also has a long history of ignoring comments (see xone-dkms/-git). A comment from a few months ago notes that his email address was unreachable.

I stated that I was willing to add the previous maintainer as comaintainer. However, he appears to be disinterested since he has recently disowned the xone-dkms packages.

Please only do this if the package needs maintainer action, the maintainer is MIA and you already tried to contact the maintainer previously.

you already tried to contact the maintainer previously

While I agree, the package could have been updated and wasn't in the best state, you didn't do your due diligence as well.

Another user asked the previous maintainer to make changes to align to package guidelines. The request was ignored for a very long time (~9 months), so the orphan request was auto-approved.

I'm not against adding the previous maintainer back as comaintainer, but am less inclined to do so when attacked.

Huh I'd have appreciated an attempt to contact me first before declaring me MIA and immediately approving your own maintainer request.

@xiota why was this package yanked from @mkopec? No attempt at contact? Package wasn't updated in a long time because there wasn't anything to update. Out of date notice was bogus

Switched to w3m for format conversion. Not bumping pkgrel because no need to rebuild.

Those who who want to remove pandoc, along with its depends, may uninstall with sudo pacman -Runcs pandoc-cli.

Building in clean chroot would prevent installation of unwanted makedeps.

Judging by the change history https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/commit/?h=xone-dongle-firmware&id=9159fed59f2644246baed62c86d983c9da5b5a0b

In this new PKGBUILD, pandoc is used to generate a single document during the build. I do wonder whether it would have been possible to avoid needing to pull in an additional 227 packages to write a terms-of-use document.

@z0n I tried to deliberately avoid Haskell packages, but guess we have to accept it now. Not sure why that is suddenly a requirement (why pandoc-cli is I mean).

z0n commented on 2025-01-23 00:51 (UTC)

I was a bit surprised to see over 200 haskell-packages in my upgrade list today, turns out they are required for the pandoc-cli package which is required by this one :O

Isn't the license available as a txt already somewhere?
