Hi, I uploaded a package 'fancytasks' to the AUR. I didn't see there was already a package named 'kdeplasma-applets-fancytasks' for the same program. Please delete my package fancytasks: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=62885 Thanks, Michael

It basically builds the nvidia module for every exiting kernel (including specific patches if needed). When initially submitting the package there was some discussion about whether such a PKGBUILD which is non-reproducable (would produce different results on different machines) violates the AUR's guidelines. The only alternative to that (if reproducability is important) would be the various nvidia packages as we currently have. Of course, I never really agreed with that line of reasoning simply because as it is compiling any random package on two different machines could produce different results due to autotools or similar.

[aur-general] Inactive users
by Xyne 14 Sep '12

14 Sep '12

Hi, What is the current policy on dealing with inactive users? In the case of the zephyr package, the owner has not been active since 2011-07-18 and had several flagged packages, many of which had been flagged for quite a while. I orphaned all of the flagged packages but in such cases should we just preemptively disown all of the user's packages? I have written a script to handle such cases [1]. Of course, if there were some official policy here then this might be better handled server-side, but for now this solution is convenient. Incidentally, aurploader contains a full python module since the last release with support for automating most AUR interaction (disowning, merging, etc.). In combination with python3-aur it is quite versatile. Regards, Xyne [1] http://xyne.archlinux.ca/scripts/aur/orphanizer
