Excerpts from keenerd's message of 2010-12-03 13:46:10 -0500:
If no one can think of a better way to deal with the nonconforming packages, I'll write a bot to post insulting comments. Personally, I really like this solution. The AUR has always had a wild west frontier / insane asylum feel to it. The less regulation, the better it works. But a few well placed suggestions could help make the two thousand maintainers do a better job.
Isn't this the sort of thing namcap was designed for? Maybe namcap should be extended to do checks on .src packages, and a report could be posted automatically using namcap when someone posts a .src package to the AUR. -- David Campbell
No, namcap is a tool for providing clean packages, not for clean aur-tarballs. But again, if the "uncleanlyness" of the aur tarballs in discussion here only consists in the fact that they provide icon files, they are IMHO not even unclean. Regards Stefan
