[aur-general] Blobs in package
by Tucker Boniface 26 Aug '18

26 Aug '18

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hey all, I am the maintainer of the acroread package on the aur. As you might know, if you use that program, it fails to run with newer versions of harfbuzz and glib. So, as suggested by users on the bbs, I have decided to bundle the needed libraries with acroread, but I have run into a problem. When I try to push my patch to the aur, I get "maxium blob size (250.00KiB) exceeded)." What would be the best way to bundle the libraries? It doesn't feel right for me to put them up on my server. TL;DR: What's the best way to bundle blobs with an aur package?

[aur-general] Request to delete AUR package vim-tetris
by crt 24 Aug '18

24 Aug '18

The project has not had an upstream update in just about a decade. Instead of making this package an orphan I'd like to request to remove it from AUR. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/vim-tetris/ Cheers

[aur-general] Weird notification about papirus-filezilla-themes-git package ownership
by Mohammadreza Abdollahzadeh 20 Aug '18

20 Aug '18

Hi, I got a message from AUR notification system about papirus-filezilla- themes-git [1] package being disowned by some user named Handel [2], but I am sole maintainer and submitter [3] of this package and no one else maintain it. How this is possible for my package to be disowned by someone which is not maintainer of it?

[aur-general] I'm wonder is there any tool to list TU's workload?
by Daniel YC Lin 19 Aug '18

19 Aug '18

I guest the TU's workload may be calculated by a. How many packages which he owns. b. How many commits during a past year c. How many bugs required to solved? To print out by graph maybe interesting. These may be calculated by some SQL if owned the access permission of database. For person without permission may pull the packages and bugs listing and git log to get that picture

[aur-general] TU application - Daniel YC Lin
by Daniel YC Lin 19 Aug '18

19 Aug '18

Hello, My name is Daniel YC Lin, I'm 48 years old and I'm programmer in Taipei, Taiwan. On the forums and irc you can find me as dlintw. As you can see with some of my packages [https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/?O=0&SeB=m&K=dlin& <https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/?O=0&SeB=m&K=dlin&>] I'm interested in packaging for arch related zh-tw locale packages. I've nearly 30 years shell scripts experiences. I've build Archlinux on sh4 CPU about 4-5 years ago. During that experience I've learned from uboot to linux kerenl and all 'base' packages build from scratch. There are no special packages which I wish to put in my repository. I wish to share the loading of Felix Yan for example (gcin) My sponsor is Felix Yan. Best Regards, Daniel Lin

[aur-general] [tu-bylaws][PATCH] extend tu addition discussion period to 7 days
by Levente Polyak 17 Aug '18

17 Aug '18

From: anthraxx <anthraxx(a)archlinux.org> Signed-off-by: Levente Polyak <anthraxx(a)archlinux.org> --- The discussion period for the addition of a new TU is too short. After having some chats on this topic with multiple TUs it seemed like a general consensus to extended the dicussion period to 14 days, hence this proposal. 5 days are rarely enough to discuss all details with the applicant taking into account that f.e. lots of packages need to be reviewed. Once feedback was given to the applicant there shall be enough time to work through it, potentially research, apply and/or discuss things out of the feedback. Given the fact that many people, including the applicant, may be in the middle of a work week (or otherwise busy), having only 5 days to do one or multiple feedback loops is unrealistic and too much pressure. Considering the fact that it is an essential part for a TU to be able to decide on the vote as well as for the applicant to have enough time and the possibility to respond properly to the input an adjusted discussion period of 14 days shall be appropriate. --- tu-bylaws.txt | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/tu-bylaws.txt b/tu-bylaws.txt index 27e4804..d32e06c 100644 --- a/tu-bylaws.txt +++ b/tu-bylaws.txt @@ -104,10 +104,10 @@ In order to become a TU, one must first find a sponsoring TU, and arrange privately with them to announce their candidacy on the https://mailman.archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/aur-general[aur-general] mailing list.

[aur-general] intellij-idea-community-edition
by Simon Legner 14 Aug '18

14 Aug '18

Hi Arch! (I'm not sure whether I'm posting to the correct mailing list.) I'm a happy user of IntelliJ IDEA. Unfortunately, the community package intellij-idea-community-edition is out-of-date most of the time. As of writing, it has been updated at 2018-07-10 and flagged again on 2018-07-12. In the meanwhile, the versions 2018.1.6, 2018.2, 2018.2.1 have been released. Since I found updates to be smooth, updating the community package should be easy as well. Could any TU step in as (co)maintainer of this package to bring updates closer to the time? Thank you! Simon

Hi, I just got this mail (20180810075103.49C2E2BF27(a)luna.archlinux.org) about a package I'm maintaining: ----- Forwarded message from notify(a)aur.archlinux.org ----- Date: Fri, 10 Aug 2018 07:51:03 +0000 (UTC) From: notify(a)aur.archlinux.org To: archlinux.org(a)the-compiler.org Subject: AUR Ownership Notification for openhsr-connect-git The package openhsr-connect-git [1] was adopted by purboo [2].
