[aur-general] New mailing list for AUR requests (delete, merge, orphan, ..)
Hi, As requested by Lukas, I've created a new mailing list for AUR related requests such as deletion, merge or orphan requests. The AUR will soon feature a web interface to create such requests and for history and discussion purposes mails will be sent to this new list. Please start using it for new requests already (maybe wait a couple hours so TUs can subscribe). Discussion about anything apart from such requests should stay on aur-general. You can subscribe here[1]. [1]: https://mailman.archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/aur-requests I expect traffic on aur-general to go down quite a lot due to this change, so if you aren't subscribed because of this request traffic feel free to give it another try now.

With this change, where should the PKGBUILD critique / review requests be sent? -- Ivan Shapovalov / intelfx /

Those should stay on aur-general IMHO.

Sorry for the noob question, but I hadn't found it on the aur-requests overview page: Can I post to aur-requests list without subscribing? I rarely have a request, and 99% of the traffic on aur-general was of no concern to me. Cheers, Patrice

Argh, I just did a list-reply in Mutt and hadn't noticed that the reply went out to all three list. My apologies!

I believe none of our lists allow posts from non-subscribers so this one doesn't either. Might make sense to change that, but right now we don't have a good spam filter so there would likely be quite a lot of spam on the list. I plan to set on up soonish. Could you open a bug report on the tracker so I don't forget about this?

Okay, no problem.

Yep, that makes sense.

Done: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/40982 Thanks for considering this!

Hello, I think this is worth an announcement on the news page on archlinux.org. I felt free to do so on archlinux.de already. https://bbs.archlinux.de/viewtopic.php?pid=325120#p325120 Best Regards Stefan

Lukas told me the next AUR release is only a couple weeks away so I guess we can hold off on a news until that's done and then tell people to just use the new system. Thanks for the idea though.
