Django-hosted aurweb Proposal
by Kevin Morris 18 Feb '19

18 Feb '19

To whom it may concern, The following is a proposal for a Django-hosted aurweb application. It is meant to be a drop-in replacement for aur.archlinux.org; effectively cloning its user interface and capabilities into a Python Django extension. Following https://patchwork.archlinux.org/patch/1000/, I would like to put together a new aurweb. The current revamped version of archweb runs inside of a django server as a django extension (or app). I would like to do this same thing for `aurweb`. The new django `aurweb` shall support all of the current v1-6 capabilities that aurweb provides, as well as the front-end user website located at https://aur.archlinux.org. It shall be an exact clone from the user's perspective. The major differences between maintaining a PHP vs Django server would be that the Django server would be: 1. Integrated with any Django server and easily removed. 2. Developed via Python, which has vastly more support and familiarity than PHP within the community. 3. Django models, which greatly reduce the complexity of SQL queries inside of `aurweb` backend. 4. Baked-in extendable templates with templatetags. 5. View decorators which enforce requirements of a specific route. No more manually handling $http_data user errors. 6. Everybody loves Python; there will most likely be many more code-base contributions in Python than in PHP. I would like to hear your thoughts on this. If approved, I would love to begin this project within the next few weeks. Thanks, Kevin

[PATCH] Introduce API v6
by Kevin Morris 12 Feb '19

12 Feb '19

Add new method of multiple by[] search in API v6. The 'provides' by field is also supported in the new multiple by[] method included with this patch. 'provides' may not be used in legacy (v5) singular by search. A helpful json error message is returned to the user to indicate so.

Search or info by "provides"
by Sergey Petrenko 02 Feb '19

02 Feb '19

Hi, I’m interested in implementing this one way or another. I have found thread from march 2018 concerning this feature, but without any final resolution. What is the status? Will you accept extension of /search over "provides" or I’ll have to wait till RPC v6 is ready?

There are obviously TUs that currently use them but don't want to leave a message, this still lets them do exactly that. And even if we would not actually create an auto-accepted request for it, I believe that it is wrong to not always send out at least a notification when a package is deleted.

Before you get to call them "emergency override tools" we're going to both need to *clearly* label them as such, and preferably move them to a separate section.
