[aur-general] keenerd unresponsiveness
by Jelle van der Waa 12 May '22

12 May '22

Hi All, I've tried to reach out to keenerd a couple of times about dropping some packages of him such as geda-gaf (which lets us drop guile2.0, gtk2 in the future etc.). But I haven't heard back about these mails. David has also tried to contact him about his key expiring and being unable to package after allan's master key will be revoked. Keenerd did vote in recent TU proposals and still committed in May. [1] [2] So with this email I hope keenerd responds to the keyring issue and responds to the inquiries about his old packages.

[aur-general] Possible spam account
by Michael Kogan 09 May '22

Hi guys, The user InstallerLegacy [1] just adopted gnome-vfs [2], added himself, including a contact address, to the PKGBUILD head without any further changes, then orphaned the package again two minutes thereafter. Since the account has been created just today, maintains no packages and lists further contact information like a website URL and contact address, I suspect it to be a spam account. Best, Michael [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/InstallerLegacy [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/gnome-vfs/

[aur-general] Removal of Andrzej Giniewicz as Trusted User due to prolonged inactivity
by David Runge 05 May '22

05 May '22

Hi all, this is a motion for "Special Removal of an Inactive TU" [1] for Andrzej Giniewicz (giniu) based on prolonged inactivity. After the removal of Andrzej's packager key due to Bartłomiej Piotrowski's main key removal [2] it has been the consensus for him to create a new packager key. However, this never happened and meanwhile Andrzej's last TU vote is 131 (we're at 136) and he has last logged in to the AUR on 2022-02-14. In January I reached out publicly [3] to ask for progress on the matter, but got no reply. Privately I have again attempted to reach out on 2022-04-08, stating that after two weeks of no reply this here process would be started. This time has now passed. The discussion period will last for three days, after that I will open the vote, which will last for five days. Best, David [1] https://tu-bylaws.aur.archlinux.org/#_special_removal_of_an_inactive_tu [2] https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-dev-public/2021-May/030445.html [3] https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-dev-public/2022-January/030643.h… -- https://sleepmap.de

[aur-general] Renaming AUR Repository
by Tuhana GAYRETLİ 03 May '22

03 May '22

Hi. I have an AUR repo named `ttf-jura`[1], which is a font package. After I read AUR Font Publishing wiki, I noticed I need to split TTF, OTF and variable variations, so I split `ttf-jura` as `ttf-jura`, `otf-jura` and `ttf-jura-variable` and changed pkgbase as `jura-font`. But since `ttf-jura` repo's pkgbase is `ttf-jura`, I cant push to repo with new pkgbase. Is it possible rename `ttf-jura` as `jura-font`[2], so I can push new, split version of it? Thanks. I'm not pushing to jura-font directly because it maybe conflict with ttf-jura, because it already exists. [1]: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ttf-jur <https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ttf-jura>a [2]: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/jura-font
