Hi all, So I have now for quite a while been the maintainer for the following: root root-extra pythia8 xrootd-abi0 (this exists as a work around for other maintainer not updating package) unuran root5 (legacy and poorly supported for GCC 5+, need help here especially) and just adopted pythia. I've actually put quite a bit of work in some of them. With the latest changes upstream here and there, I am planning to re-optimize the builds, but I wanted to first ask for some input from this list and gather some suggestions. My main focus is making CERN's ROOT and it's relevant dependencies/extensions work on Arch. I started and mainly concentrate on root and root-extra. Pythia, XRootD, Unuran are such extensions which were not available or broken in Arch. So I had to make 'pythia8' and 'xrootd-abi0' as workarounds. I have now finally been able to adopt 'pythia' and plan on making a major re-write and optimization. I still have to keep 'xrootd-abi0' as the current maintainer does not really update or fix his package when new versions/problems arise. I do not plan on making an orphan request, as I do not want to cause trouble for people. However, I do wish to make the current environment as good as possible for the people that actually use it and would welcome any input from you. Thanks in advance. Apart from that I wanted to understand better if and how package signing works with AUR. I tried the wiki and a bit of Google, but so far it seems package signing is only for official repos/trusted users. I did not want to try it out myself before getting some advice as I was afraid messing up will prevent people from installing them. Regards, Konstantin
