Hello everyone! I'm going to look into fixing some issues with the AUR right now. Please don't be alarmed if the site isn't working for a little while.
I've deleted existing comments from the AUR.
I ran into a problem juggling the encodings, which was the problem I was trying to fix. The aur should properly display utf8 in comments now though.
It may be possible to restore most of the old comments, but that's something that we'd have to look into later.
Probably a stupid question but just to be sure : being able to look into it later supposes that there is an easy way to restore old comments by keeping the new ones ? (i.e. merging both) Or will the new ones be lost when restoring the old ones ?
Old comments are mostly backed up but suffer from some encoding issues - that's the first hurdle. There should be a way to merge old and new comments. I'm not exactly sure how easy that would be however. Probably pretty easy for a real sysadmin. That I am not unfortunately. I'm not sure how much value is in the old comments, but it's not worth keeping the AUR locked down while I try to figure it out.
