You mean when you removed `--disable-svg` flag? I might be wrong, but I think there was a reason to leave it disabled. You'd have to check comments or Gentoo/Fedora package to be sure.
Yes I did check the comments, which turned out to be a very old comment about extra dependencies in rxvt-unicode-afterimage if enabled. Since the mentioned package doesn't even exist today, I believe it's not an issue anymore.
There's precedence for maintainers of specialized software in the AUR to be
sponsored to become a Trusted User (though it seems there's a preexisting
relationship?).
I am not sure how much this applies to me in this case, but if it does I can say the following. I am willing to apply for a Trusted User to maintain ROOT's stack for Arch. I use the ROOT software on a daily basis. I take great care of the package (the whole stack actually) as my work depends on it. I have a test bench and people in my professional area use it and depend on me to bring improvements and new possibilities. I have involved myself and consider it an on-going duty. I have the skills and know-how to maintain the ROOT stack and I can say with certainty that AUR's ROOT package is only second to Fedora's package across other distros. But I also understand it is not perfect and am interested in making it better as I've shown previously here and to its users.
Glad to see your TU application, it would be great if you will maintain the related software in the official repositories instead, as you are definitely more familiar and I have too many packages already :) (I somehow forgot to reply to the question above, sorry for the late reply!) -- Regards, Felix Yan
