[aur-general] Voting period - Rules governing packages entering [community]
by Allan McRae 15 Dec '08

15 Dec '08

Hi TUs, This starts the seven day voting period for the proposed rules for packages entering the [community] repo. Voting is being done on the AUR interface, last 7 days and will require a quorum of 75%. For your reference: [proposal] * Only "popular" packages may enter the repo, as defined by 1% usage from pkgstats or 10 votes on the AUR. * Automatic exceptions to this rule are: - i18n packages - accessibility packages - drivers - dependencies of packages who satisfy the definition of popular, including makedeps and optdeps - packages that are part of a collection and are intended to be distributed together, provided a part of this collection satisfies the definition of popular * Any additions not covered by the above criteria must first be proposed on the aur-general mailing list, explaining the reason for the exemption (e.g. renamed package, new package). The agreement of three other TUs is required for the package to be accepted into [community]. Proposed additions from TUs with large numbers of "non-popular" packages are more likely to be rejected. * TUs are strongly encouraged to move packages they currently maintain from [community] if they have low usage. No enforcement will be made, although resigning TUs packages may be filtered before adoption can occur. [end proposal] Allan

Hi guys, The pythoncard package is flagged out of date and the maintainer sent me the following: "I have no time to maintain the PKG. Please feel free to take over maintenance of it." I'd like to adopt the package if someone can mark it unmaintained. Thanks -- realitygaps(a)yahoo.com

[aur-general] Resign as a TU
by Giovanni Scafora 11 Dec '08

11 Dec '08

Hi guys, I've decided to resign from my position as a Trusted User. There are two reasons: 1) I no longer have the time anymore to follow the TU stuffs as I should do. 2) I want to focus my efforts on developer work only. All the best, -- Arch Linux Developer (voidnull) AUR & Pacman Italian Translations Microdia Developer http://www.archlinux.it

[aur-general] Account Type On AUR
by Callan Barrett 11 Dec '08

11 Dec '08

Can everyone who is a developer and a Trusted User set their account types on the AUR to Trusted User rather than developer. At this point there are only two differences between a TU and a dev on the AUR: your title and the ability to make other people developers. Right now the stats are some arbitrary number on the front page and I have to rely on a wiki page for an accurate number of TUs which is ridiculous. I also have to allow developers to vote on the TU interface which also seems stupid to me even if we should trust developers. At this point the only reason a TU/dev should be a developer on the AUR is because they don't know why or they're in an epenis measuring contest with each other so please change your account and fix the stats (or give me an incredible reason for being a dev). Thanks. -- Callan Barrett

[aur-general] Packages with libpcap dependency need a rebuild
by Thomas Bächler 11 Dec '08

11 Dec '08

Soon (today or tomorrow), libpcap 1.0.0 will move to core. All community packages depending on libpcap will need a rebuild (iftop is among them, no idea if there are more). The rebuilds probably won't be necessary for each version anymore, as the libpcap.so has no a sane SONAME (.so.1) instead of having the whole version (including the minor) as SONAME.
