Just wanted to say I appreciated the one email I got from the bot that told me there was a .PKGINFO file in my source package. I adopted this package so I'm not sure how the original packager pulled that off. I like the idea. Yes, obviously it should be built into the AUR website itself. The problem is that it is a lot quicker and easier to make a bot. There's also the whole weird "maintenance mode" thing. The cool part is we've already beta tested this thing without modifying the AUR at all. I would not mess with binary files. I always assumed the packaging guidelines meant executable files instead of binaries. Yes executable (ELF) files are bad. I think this has been established earlier. One suggestion is that the comment adds Keenerd's email or some way to know where in the world it came from or who owns it. An anonymous bot! Fear! Another idea: instead of commenting en mass you could send an e-mail to the maintainer with a list of packages and their problems. If they have their e-mail available of course. -- -Justin
