[aur-general] single-user gnome-shell-theme pkgs
So we just got a bunch of a gnome-shell theme packages that the author calls single-user packages, into AUR. These packages install stuff to ${PKGDIR}$HOME/.themes. Should these be removed? As they go against Arch's packaing standarts and besides are by every mean pointless. You need superuser rights to install them but they only give acces to the user who build it.

I'm not familiar with gnome-shell themes. Is there a way to install them globally, i.e. not on a per-user basis (e.g. /etc/.../themes)? I expect that there is but I really don't feel like looking it up right now. If there is then inform the packager that he needs to install the themes there. If not then I think these packages should be removed. PKGBUILDs should not install anything in a user's home directory. He would be better of writing a script that can install those themes on a per-user basis and packaging that instead. Regards, Xyne

Absolutely. This should be a hard rule IMO. Pete.

I thought it was. Yes it should be if it isn't already
It is. From "Arch Linux Packaging Standards" (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_Packaging_Standards) Package should not contain following directories: /dev /home /srv /media /mnt /proc /root /selinux /sys /tmp /var/tmp Regards Stefan
