Please delete the snake_ [1] package with 0 votes uploaded today. It's the same software provided by the snake_pygame [2] package. It the meanwhile take a look at the snake_pygame PKGBUILD, really utterly broken. I hope to avoid to see stuff like that again.

[aur-general] [Orphan Request]: zsh-syntax-highlighting-git
by Sam Stuewe 29 Sep '13

29 Sep '13

Hey everyone, I send this maintainer an email about a week ago asking for them to orphan or update [1] as it is woefully out-of-date by packaging standards (it would not even build for me without some serious modifications). I know the standard practice is to wait two weeks, but on looking closer at the maintainer's history [2], they have not voted since the middle of 2012, and their last package update was made earlier in 2012 than their last vote. It would appear that the account is largely no longer active. If the TUs would like me to wait the rest of the standard two-week period before orphaning the package, that is fine, but I figured it might be worth while making y'all aware of the essentially inactive account. All the best, -Sam --- 1 https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/zsh-syntax-highlighting-git 2 https://aur.archlinux.org/account/mjheagle8

[aur-general] Which developer should be considered as TU?
by Balló György 29 Sep '13

29 Sep '13

Hi, The Trusted Users list is a bit different between Archweb and AUR. It looks like it's unclear which developer is a TU also. This means that we don't know how many active TUs are there, therefore can't ensure that the quorum meets on each votes. There are four categories: 1. The following developers are listed on Arch Linux Trusted Users page[1], and their account type is 'Trusted User' in AUR: - Bartłomiej Piotrowski (Barthalion) - Evangelos Foutras (foutrelis) - Laurent Carlier (lordheavy) - Sven-Hendrik Haase (svenstaro) - Thomas Dziedzic (td123) 2. The following developers are listed on Arch Linux Trusted Users page[1], but their account type is 'Developer' in AUR: - Dave Reisner (falconindy) - Florian Pritz (Bluewind) - Jan Steffens (heftig) - Ray Rashif (schivmeister) 3. The following developers are not listed on Arch Linux Trusted Users page[1], but their account type is 'Trusted User' in AUR: - Ángel Velásquez (angvp) - Gerardo Pozzi (djgera) 4. The following developer is not listed on Arch Linux Trusted Users page[1], and his account type is 'Developer' in AUR, but still takes part in votes: - Ronald van Haren (pressh) According to Trusted User Bylaws, TUs (and only TUs) must take part in votes. Therefore there should be a clear implementation like this: - Developers who want to take part in votes should set their account type to 'Trusted User' (or to a new 'Developer+Trusted User' type) in AUR, and they should be added to the Arch Linux Trusted Users page[1]. - Developers who don't want to take part in votes should set their account type to 'Developer' in AUR, and they should be removed from the Arch Linux Trusted Users page[1]. - Users with 'Developers' account type in AUR should not be allowed to vote. What is your opinion? [1] https://www.archlinux.org/trustedusers/ -- György Balló (City-busz) Trusted User
