[aur-general] TU resignation
Hi everyone, I've been pretty busy lately and haven't been able to find the time to fix bugs and keep my packages up-to-date. Lately I haven't actually been using any of the packages I maintain, so I think the time has come to pass them on to someone with the time and motivation to maintain them. So, without further ado, I hereby tender my resignation as a TU. I wish you all the best and hope you continue doing the things which make Arch so great. Best, Jonathan P.S. I've had trouble getting GPG and gmail to play together, so I've attached the contents of this message and signed that instead of signing the email itself.
Thanks for all you did and all the best for whatever you do now. PS: I've created a ticket for key revocation and disabled the ssh account.
Sad news. You did a great job on maintaining PackageKit's alpm backend in the recent years. Thanks for your work, and good luck! If nobody step up porting the alpm backend to PackageKit version 0.8 (huge work!), I'll drop the following packages from the [community] repository in the next days: - apper - gnome-settings-daemon-updates - gnome-packagekit - packagekit - packagekit-qt2 - python2-packagekit -- György Balló Trusted User

Why the rush to drop these packages ? Currently it is working, when none of the TU/DEV are willing/able to continue the development of the alpm backend for packagekit and at some point things break, then it would be a good time to drop those packages from community. -- Ike

I didnt see this message before but wanted to add that I agree. The 0.7x branch of packagekit is still supported upstream so there is no need to hastly drop the packages. Of course thats only my opinion, it's obviously up to you guys as TU's.

Good to hear that you'll work on this, so we can keep the packages. It's an important task, because the latest version of Apper and GNOME Software depend on the 0.8 branch now. Ike, then go ahead, and adopt these packages. -- György Balló Trusted User

-- György Balló Trusted User Hi guys,
I am planning to complete the porting of the alpm backend to packagekit 0.8+ I reached out to Jonathan a few weeks ago and he was very helpful in bring me up to speed on what's left to be done. Sadly, I have not had the time to get it done yet. Things at work are going to slow down a lot for me once the holiday season is over and getting the port finished is definitely high up on my to do list. This thread caught my eye as I was scanning through email so I thought I should take a second to make my plans known :) Happy Holidays! -- *Dustin Falgout* Antergos Dev Team E-Mail: dustin@falgout.us mailto:dustin@falgout.us Google/Skype: dustinfalgout IRC Chat: #antergos http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=antergos&uio=d4 http://antergos.com/
