User brownwilliams [1] seems to be spamming in the AUR, as can be seem in the comments of skypeforlinux-stable-bin [2]. Can this be taken care of? [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/brownwilliams/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/skypeforlinux-stable-bin/ Best regards, Rafael Fontenelle

[aur-general] Fwd: FS#60333: namcap exits 0 when errors found (Task closed)
by Tom Hale 08 Oct '18

08 Oct '18

I noticed that even when namcap prints out errors, it still exits 0. I raised this at: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/60333 It was closed: Reason for closing: Not a bug Additional comments about closing: namcap runs fine, so exiting with an error makes no sense To me the "reason for closing" is like saying that diff should exit 0 when two files are different because diff ran fine. If namcap is to be used in any automated packaging tools (or even my dodgy script), then it makes sense to have meaningful exit codes. And possibly an option to also have warnings also exit non-0 for the persnickety amongst us. I note that the python source returns 0 and 2, but never 1. I'm a newbie here, but I believe my argument has merit, so I raise it here for possible discussion. -- Tom Hale

[aur-general] keep debugging symbols in AUR package
by Friedrich Strohmaier 06 Oct '18

06 Oct '18

Hi all, I use to install AUR package fotoxx. I get some zappcrash message when closing the application an would like to help the author finding the bug. The author sent adapted source packages to get more debugging information. I tried change the PKGBUILD's "pkgrel"- variable to generate several packages containing debugging symbols, but at the end of the build this message looks suspicous: .. -> Stripping unneeded symbols from binaries and libraries... .. What makes packages keep debugging symbols? Tips? Keywords for wiki search? Any hints welcome :o)) -- Friedrich
