Building on this idea, the package page could include a button named "notify maintainer". This would link to a form that allows a user to send a message to the maintainer, e.g. "please add x86_64" to the PKGBUILD. If the package isn't updated in e.g. 2 weeks, the "notify maintainer" button would be replaced by a "request adoption" button.
It would be nice to have something like this, like what we have on the forums, rather than having a plaintext email address exposed on the account.php page. If the user really wants to email the maintainer directly they could just look at a PKGBUILD.
On an unrelated note, does anyone else have problems with the MIME types on the AUR server? This is the header I get when downloading a tarball:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK Content-Type: application/x-tgz Accept-Ranges: bytes ETag: "2582334637" Last-Modified: Sat, 31 Oct 2009 01:58:19 GMT Content-Length: 425 Date: Fri, 10 Sep 2010 10:52:28 GMT Server: lighttpd/1.4.28
The MIME type for gzipped tarballs on my system is application/x-compressed-tar. It's kinda annoying because Firefox gets confused and decides it can't open the tarball. I might try to fix it myself at some later stage, but I'm really snowed under at the moment.
Interesting. Where is that set on your system? This whole mime type thing is a bit of a mess eh? I guess it's kind of hard to rely on non-standard mime types. Is there some kind of auxiliary non IETF standard? You can find the mime types that Firefox uses in: /home/<username>/.mozilla/firefox/<profileid>/mimeTypes.rdf Cheers.
