Hello everybody,
I would like to have something like an announcement input for AUR packages. Just like comments, but the announcement should be editable by the maintainer only and shown at the top all the time. This could be handy for something like:
Currently this application does not remember passwords. This is because gnome-keyring is broken. (https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/39913)
Preventing users from complaining over and over again when comments move down. Or:
This is a git package. Most of the time it compiles fine with $dependency. If it does not please try $dependency-git.
Any comments?
I don't know if it is the case, but i maintain the redmine AUR package and for this kind of "announcement" i use the wiki, specifically the troubleshooting section. There i list any kind if difficult the user can have or myself have passed through. i tried to maintain the wiki uptodate and announced it at the comments for make it clear that the wiki should be the first stop for search. ;) It is a good policy?
