I would have just made a pull request, but I don't feel entitled to decide which one should be removed. I also think, there should be a process which checks new manifests against the already existing entries before merging to avoid duplicates like these. |

We've seen a couple of duplicates, and we don't want to "break" users who may be depending on these packages. We're looking at checking for duplicate SHA256 values to identify duplicates at PR time. We're also looking at ways to have a manifest "redirect" to the preferred one in the event of a duplicate or a name change for the future. Other considerations include looking at installers that are no longer available so we can make sure users are informed if they try to install them. Feel free to start a GitHub discussion if you'd like to join in the conversation. |
