[aur-general] How to change wrong author email address?
Hello, I have used a wrong email address for pushing my package updates to aur. Is it possible to rewrite this commits? I'm not allowed to force push a rewritten history, so I think some admin intervention is needed. best regards Uwe
You make the correction and bump pkgrel, then push the changes. You can bump pkgrel whenever you make changes to PKGBUILD, but there aren't changes to the software. On Wed, Feb 17, 2021, 12:52 PM Uwe Koloska via aur-general < aur-general@lists.archlinux.org> wrote:

But this doesn't change past commits.

Hi, Uwe, If you tell us the package in question, I'd be happy to remove it from the history. If you'd prefer to keep this correspondence private, feel free to send me a private mail with the information. Assuming you live in the EU, you have a right to have this information updated.

I've corrected the package in question to use Uwe's proper email address.

To make it clear: I'm speaking about the commit author, not the email address inside the PKGBUILD!

I don't think it's possible to change this. And yes we both know you can technically do it in a git repository but I don't think it's something that aurweb is supporting. You can check the code though and see why. -- Leonidas Spyropoulos A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text. Q: Why is it such a bad thing? A: Top-posting.

TUs can force push git repositories, users can't. Alad
