Hello,
I'm the co-maintainer of the AUR package hurl-bin (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/hurl-bin) (and also the upstream maintainer of Hurl https://github.com/Orange-OpenSource/hurl)
There is a new hurl package in extra for Hurl https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/hurl/ and I wonder what should I do with the AUR Hurl package. Do I have to keep updating the AUR package it with new Hurl versions ?
Things to know:
the AUR package is a binary package only. We get the binaries from the upstream GitHub repo
the AUR package has two architectures x86 and arm64, while there is only x86 in extra
I really haven't a lot of experience with packaging on Arch so sorry if my questions are too obviuous!
Regards,
jc

Aur is completely voluntarily, so you don't have to do that. But maybe you want to ?
Do you feel the -bin package adds enough things that are not available with the repo package to warrant the work of maintaining it ?
EDIT :
Seems a deletion request was filed by the PM who added it to repos, https://lists.archlinux.org/archives/li … 4CFG2KAAN/
If you feel there are good reasons to keep the hurl-bin package, you should send a reply to the aur-reuests list.
(as co-maintainer you should have gotten a notification email of the del request) .

What you should do, especially if you are upstream, is contact the maintainer of the repo package (pacman -Qi hurl should show an email) and directly talk about it. You could, however maintain a "hurl-git". See https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/VCS_package_guidelines. Whatever you do, have a chat with the maintainer, they usually don't bite too hard.
