Excellent solution to the problem. Lots of people would have just ranted about that decision. When your quite valid argument failed to convince that person, you went ahead and created your own repository. I'm not using Arch, and not interested in using Suckless. That may change in the future. But it illustrates why I watch your videos. Someone else created a problem, and you solved it and shared the solution with us.

Imagine if all people started putting their personal files on AUR. Even if they are of use to others. In any case AUR did the right thing and give DT the boot. :D I must say, rather amusing story.
AUR is full of messy conflicting packages already. No need for more. Never had a need for AUR anyway.
I DON'T RUN ARCH BTW -
or derivatives thereof.

Suppose I create my own repo and use it to host a custom package with dependencies from the AUR. Can I continue to use paru to update the AUR dependency, or would I then need to manually update the AUR package?
Thanks for this video---I didn't even realize this was what I needed.

DT,
everyone has been saying it but you might as well start your own distro and just use Arch and make changes to it like ArcoLinux. Tons of content, a great learning experience and it would be fun to watch. Im thinking about it myself. Just a thought

Thanks D.T for doing this I don't get why they've removed your packages from the Aur bur is great that your hosting them yourself I use your build of st terminal and couldn't be happier with it. So am glad I'll still be able to get access to it :)

I like the little comment at the end -At this point I might as well start my own distro- as a hobbyist programmer would definitely contribute to your distro(assuming you had it hosted on a git) p.s I believe symlink works fine on github

Hi, not sure if there is a video for this, but please can you explain what are the essential things you need for building an arch linux, for example desktop filemanager... I cannot for the life of me find this information.

I'm not an arch user but I always thought AUR was the arch USER repository. From their website: -The AUR was created to organize and share new packages from the community.- So I have no idea what the AUR is for now.

A few months ago, I have created a tool called pacman-repo-builder (github: pacman-repo-builder/pacman-repo-builder) to help with building one's own pacman packages. Beware that there is no integration tests yet.

Great video! I was not who deleted your packages but as I said earlier on the mailing list customised packages are not allowed in the AUR. Please do. not say the deletion was -unfair-
