[aur-general] Account Type On AUR
Can everyone who is a developer and a Trusted User set their account types on the AUR to Trusted User rather than developer. At this point there are only two differences between a TU and a dev on the AUR: your title and the ability to make other people developers. Right now the stats are some arbitrary number on the front page and I have to rely on a wiki page for an accurate number of TUs which is ridiculous. I also have to allow developers to vote on the TU interface which also seems stupid to me even if we should trust developers. At this point the only reason a TU/dev should be a developer on the AUR is because they don't know why or they're in an epenis measuring contest with each other so please change your account and fix the stats (or give me an incredible reason for being a dev). Thanks. -- Callan Barrett

Can you add an ePenis stat then?

Do you want an incredible reason? Being a dev, you can also partecipate to the epenis measuring contest. :-) -- Arch Linux Developer (voidnull) AUR & Pacman Italian Translations Microdia Developer http://www.archlinux.it

So just to be clear here: You want to remove the "developer" type from the AUR? So developers listed there should be listed as TUs?

Nah they'd be listed as users.

I resigned as a TU, but still have a few packages in [community]. So what now? :-) Well, I could move some of them to unsupported and the important ones to extra. -- Pierre Schmitz Clemens-August-Straße 76 53115 Bonn Telefon 0228 9716608 Mobil 0160 95269831 Jabber pierre@jabber.archlinux.de WWW http://www.archlinux.de

Pierre: I don't know if you're joking but but you can leave your community packages in the community repo. The issue here is that Callan wants the TU/dev to be listed as TU in AUR. Dev can still maintain packages in community. Callan: Give me a list of those TU/dev and I'll change their account type in one go. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

I guess the issue is I don't know exactly who is a TU or not. I'll try to get a list together? I didn't really intend for the dev account type to be deleted entirely but I suppose there's no harm in it happening, just a bit of work. Thanks to anyone who has already changed their account. Regarding the ePenis idea: I propose a new stat and I will be going through the accounts rating who's hot and who's not (Aaron you are not). -- Callan Barrett

In that case, you can just wait for them to read this thread.

Please keep the dev account type so that devs can also do admin work in the AUR like removing package that they just added to the repo or removing duplicate/malicious PKGBUILD. Thanks to anyone who has already changed their account. Regarding the

That's what I figured, hopefully at some stage we can set it up so people can be in multiple groups. -- Callan Barrett
