[aur-general] Reply to your request SGE
by Manhong Dai 13 Oct '20

13 Oct '20

Hi Freswa, Somebody pointed me to your reply in the list. I didn't even know that the request in the AUR request system was sent to this email list, nor I know such an email list existed. I agree that you think you already gave enough explanation from your point of view. However, please think about it in my shoes, I I didn't even know such an email list existed before I sent the last request through the AUR website, and I just registered it about an hour ago to appeal. If you think I spammed this request system, I am sorry for it. But from my point of view, I have been extremely patient and following the ladder to appeal, because I didn't get any email or any response on the AUR website, which just says one word 'rejected'. I am also a very responsive package maintainer. You can check out my other packages, as long as other people submitted a suggestion, I responded the second day, and accepted their suggestions. In terms of the package SGE, I just searched my email again but didn't find any email saying that the package is marked as out-of-date. It will be hard to believe that a package that was submitted just four months ago is already marked as out of date. It worked on a cluster of all our Arch Linux nodes four months ago, and it is still working on the latest Arch Linux. It worked on both new node installation and old node upgrade . I would never have thought to check the AUR website to see if I am still a maintainer. All I got was the two emails, one saying it was disowned, the other saying it was adopted, and they are 19 minutes apart. Now I understand that each AUR package maintainer should join the email list and keep watching it. Given this special circumstance, can I get the maintainer status for the package SGE back? Best, Manhong

[aur-general] This Saturday I was deprived the maintainer status of AUR package SGE without reason
by Manhong Dai 12 Oct '20

12 Oct '20

Dear AUR administrator, Can you please change me back to the maintainer of the AUR package SGE? This saturday I got two emails. One is user "freswa" disowned this package, and then 19 minutes later, another email said this package was adopted. When I got the two emails, it was already too late to adopt the package back. I did submit a request at the AUR web interface later, but the request was denied without any explanation. I am an SGE administrator for University of Michigan, and I have been maintaining the legacy SGE C code for many years to make it work with the latest library changes and the newer version of GCC. I published my code modification to AUR to help other Arch Linux user, and also help myself to maintain our own SGE cluster, which runs on both CentOS and Arch Linux. I really don't know why I was deprived of the maintainer status because I am a very responsive AUR maintainer. For example, I received some good suggestions about my other packages, I did accept those suggestions and modified my packages accordingly. The serious issue is I didn't receive any notification about the package sge before the two email notifications. It is quite scary for me, and should be scary for all AUR package maintainers. Is there anything I can do to get the maintainer status back? Best, Manhong

[aur-general] Wrong E-Mail Adress at registration used
by Matthias 'garionion' Detsch 10 Oct '20

10 Oct '20

Hi there, sorry to bother you with my stupid mistake. As I wanted to register myself for the AUR a while ago, I misspelled my E-Mail Adress. But I really really want to use my "normal" nickname. As I used a wron E-Mail, I never got a confirmation mail, but the username is still "reserved" (one could consider this as a bug), so I cannot register myself again, with "my" username and the correct EMail Adress. Would it be possible, that someone could please unlock "my" username? Best Regards, garionion

Hello, I am trying to update solarus-quest-editor[1] but it needs some files that comes from another package[2][3]. How can I make it works? Should I download the needed files in the $srcdir?

[aur-general] Looking for a TU to get gamemode into community repo
by Minze Zwerver 22 Sep '20

22 Sep '20

Hello, I am the current maintainer of the gamemode AUR, https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gamemode/ ,and I would like to submit it for the community repository. Currently it has libinih among its dependencies which is also in AUR, however it can be removed if so needed because meson will then fetch it and use a static variant of the library. Thank you for your time, Minze/Ysblokje

[aur-general] Package clonable via git but not on the web interface?
by Ian Denhardt 21 Sep '20

21 Sep '20

Hi, I recently went looking for a package for [entr][1], didn't find one, and so put together a PKGBUILD myself. When I went to submit it I found the git repo already exists; if you do: git clone ssh://aur@aur.archlinux.org/entr You get a non-empty repo that was last updated sometime in 2018, and packages version 4.1 of the software. I can't push to the repo since it already exists and I am not the maintainer, but there is no corresponding package available via the web interface: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/entr I am not sure what to make of this. Any insights? -Ian [1]: http://eradman.com/entrproject/

[aur-general] TU application - raster
by Carsten Haitzler 14 Sep '20

14 Sep '20

Hi Everyone. I'm Carsten - or Raster. Sponsors: eschwartz and shibumi agreed to +1 me I'm upstream founder of enlightenment, EFL, terminology and a few other things. I work at Arm in Cambridge, UK (and live here). I've been involved in OSS and releasing software since like 1995/96 or so for Linux (And other Unixen at the time). I've worked on several distributions - RedHat, Debian (made custom variant, not upstream) and Tizen. I pretty much eat, breathe and sleep C, and of course that comes with the requisite "I can drive a shell script off a cliff gracefully" developer skill-set. Linux is my OS. I don't dual boot. All my machines are Linux machines without booting into anything else and that's been the way for me for me since I got my first PC in 1996 after I had to give up on the Amiga. This PC then ran just Linux and nothing else (never saw a DOS or Windows install). In fact all but 2 of my machines are Arch Linux (Rockpro64 dev board (debian SID) and my Ampere Emag aarch64 workstation (Ubuntu), my pinephone has Manjaro for now which is kind-of-close to Arch...). I already maintain the AUR packages for efl-git, enlightenment-git, rage-git, efl-git-asan, enlightenment-git-asan and have for a long while now (also co-maintain terminology-git). You can see that I'm responsive to issues people bring up and fix them pretty fast. I have done some edits to the arch wiki as well over time. I will admit - I haven't really touched the Arch forums... I'm really an IRC/Email person, but I am on #archlinux, #archlinux-offtopic (and #archlinux-arm) most of the time. I've been using arch as my primary/only distro now for maybe about 4-5 years. I like its simplicity and "don't patch/modify things from upstream unless absolutely needed" policy (as an upstream I smile warmly at this direction). It's very developer friendly... and that's who I am. I also run ALARM on my Rapsberry Pis. I do spend most of my effort on the upstream work on these E related projects as those are what I write, release, add features to and fix bugs in. I'm about as googlable as it gets: raster(a)rasterman.com http://www.rasterman.com I know that there are a lot of packages to maintain for a very small number of people, so I'm happy to help out. I'd be best at taking over or being co-maintainer of: * efl * enlightenment * terminology Other packages I can add to community: * rage (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/rage - i maintain rage-git already) * evisum (https://www.enlightenment.org/news/2020-06-07-evisum-05-release) And in future any others that I think are past the bar of "worth including in Arch community rather than AUR" over time (there are ones brewing or lurking like EDI https://www.enlightenment.org/about-edi, Ephoto https://www.enlightenment.org/about-ephoto, Enventor https://www.enlightenment.org/about-enventor) I'd also be happy to help maintain packages I know I depend on and work with that might be a bit niche like: * packagekit * ddcutil And in general just help attack anything that I know enough about to be a bit better than a bowl of dried up custard at that is in my general sphere of knowledge/use. My PGP key hash: 04F7A0E31E08D3E08D39AFEBD147F94364295E8C http://keys.gnupg.net/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xD147F94364295E8C Looking forward to pitching in and making Arch better :) -- ------------- Codito, ergo sum - "I code, therefore I am" -------------- Carsten Haitzler - raster(a)rasterman.com
