<pre>Hi Evgeniy,
thanks for the response, naming is just one point.
If users try to replace systemd, they will likely search on the net for
upower or pm-utils( removed support in upower-0.99), and not for
"nosystemd".
Let me explain the technical side, the user who filed the request seems
a bit clueless.
His complaint was, that my package does not depend on udev. Well, that
is right, I am free to provide my own depends on AUR. There is no
guideline for that, and note, my packages are not manjaro specific. They
work exactly the same on arch from aur and do not need any specific
manjaro package.
Now, what is the point of having a udev depend?
Except for systemd, eudev is the only alternative for udev on AUR.
Since systemd is great and doesn't need any pm-utils, and tlp conflicts
with pm-utils, there is no point at all to change my depends. i provide
the eudev package too which is the depend of complaint.
Kind regards,
Artoo

Hi Evgeniy,
<br>
<br>
I would protest a deletion, since I regard the package name better
and more specific than "nosystemd". It is simply a service to the
arch community to upload these packages also to AUR, no matter
they are also used by manjaro. I won't start to maintain two
versions of the same package just for sake of naming issue. Same
PKGBUILDS are used in our binary repos.
<br>
Anyway, if you delete this package, please delete all my packages
and I am done with AUR.
<br>
<br>
Kind regards,
<br>
Artoo

Identical to upower-nosystemd, except this has an overly

dependency (eudev instead of udev) for the sole reason of
packaging

Currently one package [1] depends on it. I've left a comment.
<br>
<br>
About this package deletion. I think that we are free to remove
packages which
<br>
are uploaded to provide Manjaro compatibility according to the
idea that AUR
<br>
is <span class="moz-txt-underscore"><span class="moz-txt-tag">_</span>Arch<span
class="moz-txt-tag">_</span></span> repository, not Arch-based
one. And to provide compatibility Manjaro
<br>
users should use own repository.
