[aur-general] Adding MAINTAINER comment box
AUR, I think we should try to implement a comment box above the general comment box that can be edited ONLY by the package maintainer -- this is important for updates and information about more complex packages -- for example -- kernel26zenmm-git does not automatically have nvidia support built in and can be supplemented by the xf86-video-nvidia (i think thats the package name i'm just doing it from memory now) -- this is useful information that should not get lost in the main comments box -- i just wanted to throw this out there -- never too many documents -- especially when there are caveats -- hope everyone is well respectfully, -- jt

I was just thinking about the very same thing. I was thinking of a linkage with our forum to a section where automatically a thread is created for a new package. Maybe there only has to be a link to the forum or it is integrated in the page of the package. This would ease the use of the comments for users, and they dont have to register another account to ask questions about this PKGBUILD. The info box where only the maintainer can edit text should be in the page header, right next to the package info.
All, I have filed a Feature Request which can be found here : http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/10863?tasks=all&project=2 If you are interested in this please visit and vote for it -- i wouldn't even mind helping implement it -- i just think that it would be a valuable addition to the AUR community -- thanks for your consideration respectfully -jt On Mon, Jul 7, 2008 at 6:14 AM, Fabian Schölzel < fabian.schoelzel@googlemail.com> wrote:
