mmm fails for me refuses upload because "remote: error: missing .SRCINFO" but that file is include in the root of the repository i missing steps? I use: - git clone ssh+git://aur-dev.archlinux.org/foobar.git/ (change foobar with the package name) - add PKGBUILD. SRCINFO and other files include in the sources array - git add . - git commit -m 'brawbraw' - git push greetings 2014-12-30 0:01 GMT+01:00 Pablo Lezaeta Reyes <prflr88@gmail.com>:
But if someone missed the deadline (something that I'm sure will happend for a few hundeds at least either because lazines, bussyness or not want (or can't) reach aur-dev page) there are a place to take the PKGBUILD that was deleted in the "lets break AUR" cleanup?
Also translations need to be pulled, the last time the translation weren't taken from transfex (as I can noticed) and viceversa, so why not let the submit button there but intead add the instructions on how now upload packages to aur.

You can create an empty repository via SSH:
$ ssh aur-dev.archlinux.org setup-repo foobar
I agree that it is a good idea to add instructions on how to submit packages, though.
That works, but I think it would be nice to also have a button in the web interface. Something similar to how you create a repository on github. You click the button, it asks you for a package name and category, and then it explains how to upload.
That said, I currently upload packages with burp and probably wouldn't use such an interface. It just seems like a nice thing to have, and would make it easier for new users. (Of course, making it a little difficult could be used as a way to filter out incompetent maintainers, which is not a bad idea.)
