[aur-general] Developer / TU key signing, first master key available
by Thomas Bächler 05 Dec '11

05 Dec '11

Hello developers / TUs, My Arch master key is available at [1] with fingerprint 6841 48BB 25B4 9E98 6A49 44C5 5184 252D 824B 18E8. Every packager, please do the following: 1) Reply to this email to thomas(a)master-key.archlinux.org and fully quote this email. Include your gerolde/sigurd username in the email. Sign your reply using your GPG key. 2) Upload your public key (gpg --armor --export $KEYID) to your home directory on gerolde/sigurd under the name $HOME/arch-linux-packager-key. 3) Name at least one package in the repositories already signed with your key. Sadly, this process will only prove that you are in posession of the ssh key to upload packages into the repositories. I will contact you personally afterwards if I need further identification. Please note: there are be 5 master key holders (Allan, Dan, Pierre, Ionut, me), and you need at least 3 signatures on your key so your packages will be trusted by pacman. Regards Thomas [1] https://dev.archlinux.org/~thomas/thomas_AT_master-key.archlinux.org.asc

[aur-general] TU Application - Timothy Redaelli
by Timothy Redaelli 02 Dec '11

02 Dec '11

Hi, I thought about applying as a TU for some time now, I think the selection of packages provided by Arch is already great but there is always space for additional quality software in community and I hope to help with that. Here's a little background about myself: I'm a 27yr old italian guy, working as a embedded developer in a broadband company. I started to use linux with Corel Linux, then I passed to Mandrake, but I hate the RPM packaging system so I switched to Debian, mainly for its stability. In 2006 I became a Gentoo Developer [1] (Member of net-im, ppc and voip herds), Gentoo/Alt lead, Gentoo/BSD and Gentoo/FreeBSD deputy lead for 2 years. I'm using ArchLinux since 2009 and I think it's the better distribution out there. Like I said, I am a developer at heart and I released some opensource applications [2] and I helper with several project, as you can see in my ohloh profile [3]. I am a confident developer who loves the C language, but I also use SH scripting (both POSIX and Bash) and other languages. I selected an initial list of AUR PKGBUILDs I plan to move to community: - netselect - httrack - httperf You can see on the AUR [4] that I maintain already a pretty long list of PKGBUILDs including the popular sshpass and ragel. Andrea Scarpino is sponsoring my application as a trusted user. If you have any question, just ask. Thanks!

[aur-general] Mass un-notify?
by Magnus Therning 02 Dec '11

02 Dec '11

I'll skip the explanation of how this situation came about and instead just ask the question: Is there a convenient way to remove notifications from the around 2000 packages that I currently receive notifications on? The easiest way seems to put in an email address that doesn't work, but that doesn't feel very nice. /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus(a)therning.org jabber: magnus(a)therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus Perl is another example of filling a tiny, short-term need, and then being a real problem in the longer term. -- Alan Kay

[aur-general] Unsigned packages in [community-testing]
by Dan McGee 02 Dec '11

02 Dec '11

TUs, There are only three unsigned "packages" in [community-testing] right now: fail2ban (since April!), and packagekit for both architectures. Can these please be rebuilt so we can mark all of [core], [testing], and [community-testing] as signatures required? Thanks! -Dan

[aur-general] Please remove my AUR account
by Moritz Wilhelmy 01 Dec '11

01 Dec '11

Hello, since I'm no longer involved with the AUR, my last resort of getting my account removed is subscribing to this mailing list, something I actually wanted to avoid, but since all other pleas resulted in no feedback, here I am. I hereby ask one of the AUR admins to delete my account "wzff". That said, having a "delete my account" option in the AUR itself would be an incredibly nice feature, unless you are afraid your users might run off. You see how well that worked with the wall in Germany. Thank you, Moritz

[aur-general] "install" recursive?
by Jonathan Steel 30 Nov '11

30 Nov '11

Hi, I was told it was best practice to use "install" rather than "mkdir" and "cp" in a PKGBUILD, but how can you copy a directory and its contents (recursively) using "install"? If you cannot, with a folder with lots of files, is it best practice to list every file to copy with "install", or use one command to "cp" the whole folder? Thanks, Jonathan
