For unknown reason, Zoom package is still not available after included in our git repo (0a28b07) for a month. Please inspect it.

$ pacman -Si archlinuxcn/zoom
error: package 'archlinuxcn/zoom' was not found

Do we need/have permission to redistribute the package?

[cuihaoleo]

Maybe yes (we need a permission)?

According to https://zoom.us/terms:

Limitations on Use.You may not reproduce, resell, or distribute the Services or any reports or data generated by the Services for any purpose unless You have been specifically permitted to do so under a separate agreement with Zoom.

Here, "Services" is defined as:

......THE WEBSITE AND PRODUCTS AND SERVICES AND ASSOCIATED SOFTWARE (COLLECTIVELY, THE "SERVICES") OF ZOOM VIDEO COMMUNICATIONS, INC. AND ITS AFFILIATES ("ZOOM")

Should I just remove it from the repo then?

[colinkeenan]

Could the reason it's not available be that I'm uploading the "orig" file included from Zoom and not the package built by the PKGBUILD: zoom-5.1.422789.0705_orig . . .. I did that because the package built by PKGBUILD doesn't work on my machine, but the binary labeled "orig" works fine. I have not actually been building it, just using makepkg -o to download source files and run prepare.

I just realized that the orig file is xz but we've just recently switched to zst. For the latest update, I ran makepkg -o, xz -d . . ., and zstd -z . . .. I also renamed the package removing orig from the name. I tested and it works fine on my machine, so uploaded it. I think this will make the package available.
