    I whole-heartedly agree with this one and I am genuinely not surprised about the behaviour of Vaxry.

    To give some context around this, ThatOneCalculator (aka Kainoa, the person behind Firefish) and I maintained the AUR package for hyprland-git back in 2022. When I initially made the AUR package file, it wasn’t great (and there were a lot of points to improve these packages) but it worked mostly. Of course there were edge cases where building broke, especially this was my first bigger AUR package to maintain. With it being a -git package in the AUR, breakage is to be expected.

    Fast forward about a month, a month and a half. Hyprland rolled out some big changes which caused some build errors. But because my personal life got in the way, Kainoa got sick (IIRC) and I had troubles getting the build scripts working again, so it took a few days to get this resolved.

    Vaxry came complaining to comment section of the AUR package “when are you gonna get of your lazy ass and fix this shit” (or something similar to that meaning, I can’t find the original comment anymore). After that, I promptly disowned the package and let Vaxry handle it himself.

    Because fuck that shit, as package maintainer, I refused to be treated like this. If you think it takes too long, sure, fine, ask if I need help, offer support, anything. But just don’t be an asshole towards people, that offer your software to a wider audience.

      I went through every comment left in the AUR for hyprland-git, but I failed to find a single rude comment from anyone. Was the comment deleted by an administrator?

        Yeah I think so… I couldn’t find myself as well because I wanted to get the wording correct for my post.

            To be completely fair, without the “receipts” (ie, screenshots or something else point towards proof) my comments shouldn’t be considered anything more than hearsay.

            Personally, this experience is something that’s sticking out like a sore thumb. Most people I interact with online, even people I haven’t interacted with before, I start out with the assumption that they come from a place with good intentions. And then there is a person, that immediately goes against that, especially on a platform where I didn’t expect it.

            Edit: grammar
