by James Knight 07 Mar '19

Hello -- new user to AUR and hoping if anyone is willing to review a PKGBUILD [1] definition for me. I have been reading PKGBUILD [2] and "AUR - Submitting packages" [3] documents, which the latter document suggests to "... submit the PKGBUILD to the AUR mailing list ... for public review before adding it to the AUR". The following is my prospect PKGBUILD definition if anyone has time to make comments/suggestions: --- # Maintainer: James Knight <james.d.knight(a)live.com> pkgname=releng-tool pkgver=0.1 pkgrel=1 pkgdesc='tool to assist in the release engineering of a project' url='https://releng.io/' arch=('any') license=('BSD') makedepends=( 'python' ) source=("$pkgname-$pkgver::git+https://github.com/releng-tool/releng-tool.git#tag=v$pkgver") sha512sums=('SKIP') build() { cd "$pkgname-$pkgver" python setup.py build } check() { cd "$pkgname-$pkgver" python setup.py test } package() { depends=('python') cd "$pkgname-$pkgver" python setup.py install --root="$pkgdir" --optimize=1 install -Dm644 LICENSE "$pkgdir/usr/share/licenses/$pkgname/LICENSE" install -dm 755 "$pkgdir/usr/share/bash-completion/completions" install -m644 scripts/releng-tool-completion "$pkgdir/usr/share/bash-completion/completions/releng-tool" } --- Please be merciless.

[aur-general] Trusted user application: Drew DeVault

Hiya! Jerome convinced me to finally apply for TU, and Sven-Hendrik agreed to co-sponsor my application (both Cc'd). I'm a generalist that works on free software full time. I maintain the following AUR packages: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/?SeB=m&K=sircmpwn I also maintain a third-party Arch repo and oversee some automation for helping to build and publish new packages: https://git.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/sr.ht-pkgbuilds I'm also the upstream maintainer for several packages in community, including wlroots, sway, and scdoc; and I maintain numerous packages for Alpine Linux as well. I maintain many other free software projects, most notably sourcehut, and I also contribute to many projects maintained by others as well. I think Jerome has been hoping for some relief from the packages I maintain the upstream for, so I may start by relieving that burden. I'd also like to move the samuari package into community, and likely some of the Python packages from my third-party repository as well. Outside of packaging, I have also been doing some exploratory work that I hope will lead to finally moving Arch Linux from SVN to git. As a long time fan and user of Arch Linux, I'm looking forward to the chance to give back to the community. If anyone has any questions, please let me know. -- Drew DeVault

[aur-general] Withdrawn: Trusted user application: Drew DeVault

A week of discussion and time to reflect later, and I'd like to withdraw my application for trusted user. I had hesitated to apply to become a TU for some time due to various personal concerns, some of which were reaffirmed during the ensuing discussion, and those which weren't directly reaffirmed continued to grow in my heart anyway. This should not reflect poorly on my sponsors - I did not share all of my concerns with them before applying. Thanks for your time and consideration. -- Drew DeVault
