[aur-general] Resigning as TU
by Evangelos Foutras 17 Nov '17

17 Nov '17

For a long time I have been inactive in TU matters (i.e.: handling AUR requests, looking into TU applicants, and overseeing community contributions in general). Due to this, I feel it's proper to let go of my TU title. No heartfelt goodbyes, since my involvement in Arch remains unchanged. (On a related note, where did the last 9 years go?!)

[aur-general] Trusted User resignation
by Daniel Micay 16 Nov '17

16 Nov '17

Hi, I no longer have time available to work on Arch Linux so I'm resigning as a Trusted User. It was a great experience and I'll miss working with you folks. I've been reducing my activity over time and there aren't any packages left that I'm interested in maintaining. Unfortunately, I just can't commit the time required to handle any issue reports, etc. Arch Linux was my gateway into software development and then security research / engineering. Working on it full time ruins the charm of it as a hobby though. I deal with enough software for work already! My work on Linux security will continue in the realm of Android / arm64 so I won't be completely gone from the Linux development community. I'll also still be an Arch Linux user for the foreseeable future.

[aur-general] Could someone please bring back the skypeforlinux-beta-bin package?
by Michael Kogan 13 Nov '17

13 Nov '17

Hello everybody, about a month ago I submitted the skypeforlinux-beta-bin package to the AUR due to an issue which appeared in newer skypeforlinux versions. Yesterday I decided to get this package deleted because several people reported and I could verify myself that the issue was fixed in the most recent skypeforlinux versions. However, after the package has been deleted, I got several complaints now that the issues are not solved for everybody. So I would like to request to put this package back to the AUR. Unfortunately, I cannot do it myself because its git repo still exists: https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=skypeforlinux-beta-b… Thanks for your time and sorry for the hassle! Michael

[aur-general] Git based AUR package repo
by Amitav Mohanty 07 Nov '17

07 Nov '17

Hi I have a proposition for AUR package builds. Currently, if a package goes out of date, it can be flagged so but we need the maintainer to update it. So, if a non-maintainer wants to send the update the package build, (s)he will need to create a new package. My proposition is to have a git based system where a package's related files can be maintained. So, the following benefits can be targeted: - to update a package build, one does not need to copy the old one and create a new package; sending a PR will suffice - the maintainer model can be improved. A core set of maintainers or an active and trusted set of maintainers can review such PRs if the maintainer is not available. - even if no reviewer is available, the modified package build can be released as non-approved one and users will still be able to use the package build. I would like to know thoughts about this proposition. Regards, Amitav

[aur-general] Merge: fd-git into fd-rs-git
by Dan B 01 Nov '17

01 Nov '17

Gist: I need a TU's help merging fd-git into fd-rs-git, as fd-rs-git is not a valid merge target. (details below) I contacted the previous maintainer of this package (Wesley Moore) regarding this package since it wasn't populating in the aur. I received the following message: > Hi Dan, > > I deleted the package mid September as there are now proper releases for fd. I can't see it on aur.archlinux.org either so not sure I can add you as a maintainer. > > Regards, > Wes I can clone fd-rs-git, but am unable to push changes to the aur: > » git push origin master > Counting objects: 5, done. > Delta compression using up to 4 threads. > Compressing objects: 100% (5/5), done. > Writing objects: 100% (5/5), 1021 bytes | 1021.00 KiB/s, done. > Total 5 (delta 1), reused 0 (delta 0) > remote: error: invalid pkgbase: fd-git, expected fd-rs-git > remote: error: hook declined to update refs/heads/master > To ssh://aur.archlinux.org/fd-rs-git.git > !

[aur-general] TU Application: David Runge
by David Runge 01 Nov '17

01 Nov '17

Hi all, my name is David Runge. You may have come across me somewhere on the wiki [1], the forums [2] (not so recently), the AUR [3] or the mailing lists (mainly arch-general). I'm sponsored by Ray Rashif. I'm 31, currently live in Berlin and have just finished a Master's degree in audio communication and technology. I've been working in (sadly Debian) Linux based computer pools and electronic music studios (at the Technical University of Berlin) over the past six years and am currently a freelancing audio engineer and programmer. I've been with Arch for roughly ten years now, after a short period of time spent with Debian and Ubuntu and disliking the clutter and the amount of preset environments. I have a huge interest in pro-audio on Linux (I organized the Linux Audio Conference 2016 and have been using Arch for small scale stereo projects to massive multi-channel applications) and web applications and their security (probably a good idea when running one's own infrastructure). In my free time I build modular synthesizers and make music with them, code weird music things using SuperCollider or try to optimize my packages and systems. As a TU I'd like to help Ray test and maintain the motherload of pro-audio packages he's taking care of [4] and take over some (or all) of the ones that are currently leftover from speps [5]. Additionally, I would like to spend some time to bring further useful dsp programming languages, such as faust [6], or spatial audio renderers, such as the ssr [7] to [community]. Best, David [1] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Special:Contributions/Davezerave [2] https://bbs.archlinux.org/profile.php?id=20912 [3] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/?K=dvzrv&SeB=m [4] https://www.archlinux.org/packages/?sort=&q=&maintainer=schiv&flagged= [5] https://www.archlinux.org/packages/?sort=&q=&maintainer=speps&flagged= [6] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/faust/ [7] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ssr/ -- https://sleepmap.de

[aur-general] TU's invalid key on repos.archlinux.org
by Pierre Neidhardt 31 Oct '17

31 Oct '17

Hi, My key was to expire on October 20th but I extended the date last minute. Since then when I try to update fzf / udiskie in [community], I get an error about invalid signatures. Am I supposed to take an extra step on repos.archlinux.org? Or did miss something else? Cheers! -- Pierre Neidhardt Eating chocolate is like being in love without the aggravation.

[aur-general] Confusing situation with python-crontab vs python-crontab2
by Karol Babioch 28 Oct '17

28 Oct '17

Hi, there seem to be two packages for python-crontab: - python-crontab: https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/python-crontab/ - python-crontab2: https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/python-crontab2/ The same is true for the appropriate python2-* packages. The version without the appended 2 are orphaned and no longer maintained. To make things less confusing I would strongly argue to merge these packages (i.e. delete that latter one(s) and adopt the former one). Ideally tadly, the maintainer of the *-crontab2 packages should do this for himself, but if he is no longer interested in maintaining these packages I would adopt them for myself. What do you guys think about that? Best regards, Karol Babioch
