[aur-general] TU membership application
by Jean Lucas 12 Sep '19

12 Sep '19

Hi all, My name is Jean Lucas, and I'm sending this email to submit my candidacy for Trusted User member. As per the latest TU bylaws, I'm being sponsored by both Alexander Rødseth and Sergej Pupykin. I've been an Arch Linux user since around a little before I registered my AUR account (January 2015, username "flacks" [1]), and I've recently had a few of my packages adopted into [community], namely "cage", "coturn", and "swaybg". I'm currently a computer science student with a particular interest in software engineering ranging from low-level (with a few contributions to projects like coreboot and postmarketOS) all the way up to web development (my current focus), and as such, would love to help maintain Arch's [community] repo in an official capacity to be part of the team that gives Arch users a robust, high-quality Linux software experience; as well as to help maintain, manage, and watch over the operation of the AUR and it's vast sea of software packaging recipes. If I were accepted to become a TU, I'd like to adopt and move the following packages (all having over 10 votes in the AUR) from the AUR into [community]: anydesk, downgrade, exercism, flutter, godot, itch, mattermost-desktop, nvm, reaper, spotify, teamviewer, thermald, unity-editor, and unityhub, for starters! Additionally, I would express my willingness to help co-maintain "firejail" (already in [community]), as its a project I have a higher interest in and contribute to occasionally; as well as to help get "ghidra" in good enough shape to propose moving it into [community], since I've had lots of fun building it [2], its a phenomenal piece of open-source software, and it'd be nice to have it officially supported by the Arch community (it also has a nice number of votes in the AUR)! Thank you for your time, and thank you to all who help make Arch a great OS! Best regards, Jean Lucas [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/flacks [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/log/?h=ghidra-git

I apologize for sending a personal email regarding packages I wish to adopt. I didn't read the OP close enough. I am willing to adopt * python-gitchangelog * craft-git My AUR username is the same as my email, WSDMatty.

[aur-general] Deletion request for ipython
by pavel.finkelshtein＠gmail.com 30 Aug '19

30 Aug '19

Hi Antonio, hi community You've requested deletion of ipython-7 package, mainaned by me with 2 comments: 1. Duplicate of python-prompt_toolkit 2. absurd commit messages While both of them are true I would like to comment on both: 1. Yes, it's duplicate, but it wasn't at a time of publishing. I'll tell you more: community was long behind AUR at that moment because it needs more time to go from upstream to community and less time from upstream to AUR. If you think that it's not the case — then we can safely delete it 2. Comments are absolutely random, but… I just think that when there are no important changes in repository, just version bumps then no comment can make sense. Of course I'm absolutely ready to rewrite history to make them just normal boring comments. -- Regrads, Pasha

[aur-general] Spotify paying attention to requests for redistribution permission
by Chris Billington 28 Aug '19

28 Aug '19

Hi all, It looks like Spotify had paid some small amount of attention to the request that they change their license to allow redistribution, or that they give permission to redistribute to specific Linux distros, which is the main thing blocking Spotify from being in the repos instead of on the AUR. Today they have marked the issue as "new" and left a note saying they are assessing its popularity by waiting for people to vote for it. It's not clear how much of an effect it will have, but if you are interested you can vote for the issue here: https://community.spotify.com/t5/Live-Ideas/Linux-Add-Spotify-to-the-offici… -Chris
