[aur-general] TU application; freswa
by Frederik Schwan 28 May '20

28 May '20

Hi everyone, my name is Frederik aka freswa and I'm applying to become a Trusted User with svenstaro's and grazzolini's sponsorship. I started using Linux around 2004 with some live images of Ubuntu. In 2010, Debian became my main OS. Only a year later I switched to Arch after I screwed up Debian/sid while hunting for the latest kernel. I'm interested in DevOps topics, mail server, C, Rust, Go and newer JVM languages such as Kotlin. Thanks to svenstaro I've been a bug wrangler since February. You mostly hear from me when I assign bugs to the wrong people from time to time :P OS contributions: - working on the dovecot-xaps code, providing native Mail.app Apple Push for iOS devices - maintaining and writing PKGBUILDs for the AUR - bug reporting and fixing for several projects My AUR packages got reviewed recently by eschwartz, svenstaro and alad - thanks :) If I become a TU, I'd like to focus on the bug tracker until we have a better solution. I'd also like to help out bug fixing when maintainers are busy, away or on vacation. Packages which I would like to move to [Community], some of which are not mine: docker-credential-pass i3status-rust intel-undervolt ispin mysqltuner pdfposter pinentry-rofi protobuf-go sha3sum spin talosctl thermald unifi woeusb I'm aware though that some of these packages do not meet the criteria of 10 votes yet. I'll reevaluate whether they meet this criteria from time to time. I'd also like to go on helping Eli with maintenance of zfs-dkms and zfs-utils in the AUR. In case JetBrains is okay with us packaging their IDE's, I'd also maintain them. But so far all requests I found resulted in a negative response from JB. I am looking forward to working with you! Frederik

Hey, An application I'm thinking about packaging for AUR requires its own user to run. Is it ok to be/How would I go about creating a "user" that will be created on the installer's system when they install the package? Thanks, Yash

Why was GNU Freedink removed from the AUR? I remember it being there.

[aur-general] AUR package q -- newbie
by Raj Kombiyil 14 May '20

14 May '20

Dear all, Greetings! Just finished my maiden install of arch-linux on my laptop, with my share of headache. But things are running alright now, I guess. It's kind of difficult to find packages in one place -- e.g.; I could install gedit easily (via pacman), but couldn't find the LaTeX plugin. Searching, I see it is in AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gedit-latex I see that in the comments section, there's some issue. The package is updated in 2017 last. I know all these will be voluntary work and maybe people don't need this plugin much. For me, I could compile LaTeX source on the fly, using gedit with this plugin. What should I do to install this package? I was hoping just to install and move on with my work. I am into science computing and don't have the knowledge base to make this work/make packages etc. I read good things about Arch, so I picked it. Apologies, I am thankful for the great work all the developers/volunteers do, but at this moment I just would like something that works. Thank you for your time and any help would be greatly appreciated. Raj
