[aur-general] Maintainership for gnudatalanguage
Hey there, I'd like to contribute and maintain the orphaned package [1]. Reading through the docs, I found, I should contact this list for doing so. What do I need to do to get in? Any docs/contacts to consider? Thanks in advance! [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gnudatalanguage/ -- MfG Jan

Out of curiosity what documentation did you come across that mentioned contacting the list before adopting an AUR package? Since there is no maintainer for gnudatalanguage at the moment, if you have an AUR account, you should see a link on the right hand side under Package Actions named Adopt Package. Click that and you'll become the maintainer of the package. Regards, Andrew

uh, I must confess, I can't remember, it's been quite some weeks, since the package seemed unmaintained, but I read it somewhere and became member of this list for that reason...

I found the link and took the package. :) Thanks! -- MfG Jan

For general guidance on uploading packages, the authentication process is discussed at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Sharing_and_mainta... There are no requirements merely to join, just a willingness to help :) and a respect for the Rules of Submission. Any orphaned package is free to all takers. If you have any questions about whether a given software is suitable to be added to the AUR, or questions about writing the PKGBUILD in order to do so, then you are warmly welcomed to contact this list for advice on a case-by-case basis. -- Eli Schwartz Bug Wrangler and Trusted User

Thanks, added an ssh key to my account. :)

Thanks again, I'll probably take the offer later on. :) -- MfG Jan
