If a user leaves Arch for some reason, and comes back, IF he's intereseted in re-adopted his orphaned packages, he'll just see that list, and adopt them.
Currently, it's pretty hard to know what packages you've contributed to in the past, and it is something nice to have.
That poses two problems already raised in this thread:
1) privacy issues: not everyone will want to be permanently associated with packages
That's why I said "package *I*'ve contributed to"; each user can only see him own contributions.
2) backend complexity: each package would have to store a list of
contributors
in the database
It's not really that complex. You'd need a new table ("former-maintainer"?) for mapping users<->packages.
1 would not actually be a list of contributors, only a list of current
former maintainers, as those who contribute via comments will not be
and tracked in
this way. It thus defeats the goal of giving credit, but it would still work to track previous maintainers.
Yes, the list would actually be "packages I've maintained".
I lean towards the privacy argument on this and would prefer that we
track every maintainer, but I don't see it as a big deal.
I also think that tracking the last maintainer would be much more useful
don't than
the submitter. Currently someone could easily adopt orphaned packakges, insert malicious code and then orphan them again. A last-maintainer field would enable use to determine who did that and deal with it.
Yes, that's exactly the point. I've maintained packages in the past, and I'm curious as to what happened to them. Since I actually adopted them (not submited), I've no way of easily listing them.
Now, switching submitter for last maintainer might be easy enough to do
on
the backend.
Yes, it makes much more sense; the last maintainer is way more relevant than the submitter. Complete rewrites are not uncommon, and the submiter is irrelevant in those cases.

Thanks for this awesome feedback. I'm really impressed and thankful for what the original idea turned out to be here.
Such list of packages "I've maintained/contributed to" will completely be a good solution for a problem described by me and others mentioned here. I also don't remember all the packages I've maintained and if I hadn't had old backup on my github I'd ave no way to remember.
If it's not too big trouble to implement it, I'd love to see such list in AUR.
Thanks guys! Marcin

You should upload a new package with the new name and then request a merge here.

gtk-thinice-engine is gone. Also please post links to the packages next time. Thanks

The upcoming LibreOffice 3.6.x drops the dependency on (java) lucene 2.9.x. We can drop java lucene from our repos if nobody else wants to take over the maintainership of java lucene in the future.
I'd like to bring in clucene from community and fix a missing feature. But I'm not familiar with it. So I'd be glad if someone else would pick it up in extra repo. Anyone going to do this?
-Andy
PS: current build failure with clucene from community:
checking which clucene to use... external checking for CLUCENE... yes checking for CLucene/analysis/cjk/CJKAnalyzer.h... no configure: error: Your version of libclucene has contribs-lib missing. Error running configure at ./autogen.sh line 187.
