[aur-general] TU Application_R: Metal A-wing (a-wing)
by Metal A-wing 19 Jan '19

19 Jan '19

Hi everyone, I'm sorry, my last application was bad a few days ago. I (nickname a-wing) would like to apply to be a Trusted User. Chih-Hsuan Yen (yan12125) && Jiachen Yang (farseerfc) will be my sponsor. Some basic information about myself, My Chinese name is YongXin SHI. I am 23 years old, and I'm living in shenzhen, China. I am a Web Developer. uav cloud management system dev in UAV company. (not DJI) I mainly do programming in Ruby, JavaScript, PHP I use ruby on rails web-application framework Or express.js, Koa.js, and Frontend Single Page Application（SPA）use vue.js I use Chinese and English. My Blog is https://a-wing.top (Chinese) I started using Ubuntu in high school. And I use Debian at university. In 2017, I started Archlinux I also tried other distributions. linux mint, deepin linux, gentoo, centos I think dpkg package manage is too complicated, But .deb init did a lot of things that should not be done For example: Debian (deb) - If install postgresql, dpkg is help init DB to /var/lib/postgres , But I might migrate other databases. - I remember. once I install a dpkg pkg. but Always in the installing. Because detection /dev/** to init. - The complexity of dpkg makes problems difficult to fix manually - Packaging is too complicated, I have never learned how to packaging a standard deb Gentoo - If your computer CPU && mem too little.... _(:з」∠)_ - And C compile, python too coupling Centos (rpm) - No comment Archlinux - Easy to packaging - Makes problems easy to fix manually - wiki is very good About my involvement in Arch Linux, I have 11 packages on AUR [1]. I also maintains 52 packages in the unofficial [archlinuxcn] repo [2]. Also I developped a build status webpage, both the backend and the frontend, for archlinuxcn build server (lilac web status frontend).[3][4][5] About the packages I want to maintain in [community] 1.- ruby-rails - ruby-actioncable - ruby-websocket-driver - ruby-websocket-extensions - ruby-actionpack - ruby-rack-test - ruby-rails-dom-testing - ruby-rails-html-sanitizer - loofah - ruby-crass - ruby-nokogiri - ruby-activejob - ruby-globalid - ruby-activerecord - ruby-arel - ruby-activesupport - ruby-concurrent-ruby - ruby-i18n - ruby-minitest - ruby-tzinfo - ruby-actionmailer - ruby-actionview - ruby-builder - ruby-erubi - ruby-activemodel - ruby-activestorage - ruby-marcel - ruby-mimemagic - ruby-railties - ruby-method_source - ruby-sprockets-rails - ruby-sprockets 2.- ruby-pry - ruby-coderay - ruby-method_source 3.- frp Many Web app rely on ruby-rails: mastodon, discourse, redmine, gitlab(But. gitlab need special version), so I think packaging ruby-rails will greatly benefit arch linux users to do development and deployment on their favorite distro more easily. About frp, I think frp should split as frpc and frps Because. client and server will not be on the same computer I will also take over some packages from Felix Yan - ruby-bundler - trojan Thank you for your attention!

[aur-general] spam comments on cndrvcups-lb page
by Lone_Wolf 16 Jan '19

16 Jan '19

Hi, I had noticed spam comments on https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/cndrvcups-lb/ but forgot to report them. Can a TU remove the 4 comments from 2018-11-15 18:27 upto 2018-11-29 16:04 ? The accounts used look like fakes / bots, you might want to look at other posts they made (if there are any) to determine whether they should be blocked/deleted. Lone_Wolf

[aur-general] Legal question - Arch Linux trademark on goodies - Transparency
by William Gathoye 09 Jan '19

09 Jan '19

Hello everyone, First of all, following a discussion on Twitter, I wanted to know whether this company is authorized to sell goodies (hoodies) with the Arch Linux trademark on it? I know it is being listed on the archlinux.org frontpage, but I wonder what's percentage is given to the project as compensation [1]. With FOSDEM behind the corner, there have been quite a few discussions on social media and IRC recently regarding stands/community involvement etc. A few questions have been raised wrt. trademark/acting on behalf of the project, etc. and I wasn't able to find an answer on the Wiki. Who can speak on behalf of the community, etc? Even if Arch Linux is a meritocratic organization, do we have such a person inside our community? Maybe it's the right time to fill the gap in the wiki? To understand better the situation, let's imagine a few use cases. 1. Someone who wants to craft Arch Linux merchandising for him/herself and others given free of charge. e.g. I attend FOSDEM and I want to show others I'm an Arch Linux user. If another Arch Linux user passes by and ask me if I have goodies, give them free of charge. 2. Someone wants to craft Arch Linux merchandising for others. No gain other than the one to cover the fees of the company we are ordering from e.g. Zazzle. e.g. An Arch Linux stand is organized at FOSDEM and I want to organize it. 3. A magazine is asking the stand organizer to make an interview on behalf of the community with a question like why do you have dropped i686 compatibility? What is the project direction for the next few years, etc. 4. Someone wants to give money to the project. Can he receive a document for taxing purpose? What is the legal process for these aforementioned use cases? According to the trademark rules, we have to ask the the Arch Linux Project Lead for "merchandising purposes".[2] Does asking money to the end user to cover charge can be considered as a commercial activity even if we are not making profits? Are we allowed to answer questions that could involve the whole community? When someone is donating money to the project, who is receiving it? How can we have transparency about the IN/OUT of the treasury (server cost? etc.). What is the legal structure behind Arch Linux? Are we a foundation like The Document Foundation? When a stand is organized for a particular event, does the Arch Linux organization participate in the funding? I haven't been able to find such an information on the Wiki. Because asking for the end user to pay for his/her on goodies is not something that can have much success, especially when the Fedora/Mageia/RedHat/Debian community is giving everything for free in such an event. For the record, even if I have been participating to FOSDEM since 2012 and have adopted Arch Linux as my daily OS since that date, I haven't been able to see an Arch Linux stand yet. The only things I heard of: * a small lightning talk about pacman and the way packages are being built * some goodies informally given by the ex. Trusted User Andrea Scarpino. Do we maintain a list of events whose topic was Arch Linux (other than having to dig into the arch-event mailing list)? Wrt. identity, do we have strict guidelines to follow (e.g. distances, fonts to be used along side the logo, etc.) other than the short notice from our Logo Usage Guidelines of our trademark policy page? [3] I know these questions come as a burst, but I thank you already for the answers you could give to me.

[aur-general] package review request: gog-pyre

Would someone be willing to review the gog-pyre package I've put together? I've included just the PKGBUILD below, but I'm happy to include the entire enchilada with git-format-patch.
