[arch-dev-public] proposal to add "aurpublish" to community
Hi, so for a while now I've been using a tool I wrote at https://github.com/eli-schwartz/aurpublish -- recently split out from a vendored script in https://github.com/eli-schwartz/pkgbuilds -- to maintain my AUR packages. Some of you will probably have heard about it before. :) I certainly think it's a nifty tool :D and apparently a number of other people do too. It makes things faster and simpler, and especially prevents people from accidentally uploading PKGBUILDs with out of date .SRCINFO which is obviously a huge plus... I would like to add this to [community], but I'm unsure what people think about this; specifically, whether this might come too close to "supporting the AUR via [community] packages". Note that this is *not* an AUR helper and is strictly a tool for package *maintainers* to use during the process of uploading. What do you all think? -- Eli Schwartz Bug Wrangler and Trusted User

Uploaders are fine by me and I think we had one in previously. Florian

From what I can recall, we had one in, some discussion and it was gone again. I'll try to find the post in the archives. -- Jelle van der Waa
