[aur-general] Package voting alternatives
by Sebastian Nowicki 29 Dec '09

29 Dec '09

Hi, I believe this was discussed on aur-dev some years ago, but it seems that discussion was lost (no longer in archives). I'd like to bring up the subject again. What do you think the best way to indicate package popularity is? The two main ideas were votes (the current implementation) and a download counter. I can't really recall which one was preferred. The issue has been raised because we're deciding which to use in "AUR2", as a patch has been submitted to implement votes. I'd like to know if voting works, how effective it is, and how much significance it has on a TU's decision to put a package into community. Basically whether it's "broken" and needs to be "fixed" or if it's fine the way it is. P.S. I didn't send this to aur-dev as it doesn't really concern the developers. It's an end-user feature, and mostly a feature for TUs, so I posted here.

[aur-general] How to handle package without project URL?
by Alexander Lam 24 Dec '09

24 Dec '09

Hello all, I am packaging devmem2, whose source is available at http://free-electrons.com/pub/mirror/devmem2.c The mentioned URLs in the comments do not load, and thus I have left the URL field in the PKGBUILD blank. However, AUR will not let me upload the package without a URL exact error: Package URL is missing a protocol (ie. http:// ,ftp://) Should I just use of the 'broken' URLs for the URL variable? -- Alexander Lam
