Re: [aur-requests] [PRQ#9551] Deletion Request for spinach

by Garrett

As I look at it, those points correctly illustrate that this is not the greatest AUR helper out there. I will not disagree with that. (For example, the resurgence of bauerbill is refreshing.) However, I at present do not believe spinach is "risky." It does not source the PKGBUILD directly. I do not think it will allow arbitrary code execution before viewing unless there is a method for executing code in a string in Bash other than with tick marks or $(...). I would easily be convinced that it is risky if I could find such an example. Note that such things are listed in a security section in the man page. Though, as you said, I could (and should) change this fairly easily to use a more modern method. In my view this discussion might be more suited as a bug report for spinach rather than a cause for deleting the package, but delete it if you wish.

Correct. So far we established: Git package builds on people's PCs from the extension source. This pulls build dependencies, takes time, and is error prone. You seem to prefer it but some people may not like it. Let's respect that. Non-git package uses the pre-built archives provided by the extension developer as an official way of installing it, see https://github.com/flexagoon/rounded-window-corners?tab=readme-ov-file#from….

Re: [PRQ#45699] Merge Request for archey3-git

by Gaspard d'Hautefeuille

https://terms.archlinux.org/docs/code-of-conduct/#spamadvertisingsolicitati… Spamming is forbidden which you continue to do on this page: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/archey3-git. You also flagged out-of-date the archey3-git package while it was in sync with the upstream archey3 repo in order to promote archey4. You should only flag out-of-date when the upstream has submitted a new release. As it is a VCS package that is maintained and the upstream has not submitted any breaking changes for the package, I’m not sure it was the right way to do things. Your interpretation of "Ship it” slang is only yours. Going ahead is only meaning this in my opinion: 1) I am currently maintaining archey4-git <https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/archey4-git>, if votes and comments should be merged into of the VCS package archey3-git, it should go there. But I don’t think merging is a good idea. 2) The TU maintaining archey3 in [extra] would have to delete archey3 and promote archey4 in [extra] 3) Then, I would submit archey3-git for deletion because as long as there is an archey3 official package and official archey3 wiki page, a VCS-equivalent package should still be offered to the Arch Linux users 4) It does not make really sense to merge archey3-git into archey4 on the AUR: not the same upstream package, not the same upstream dev, VCS vs normal releases... > On 4 Aug 2023, at 11:40, Marcell Meszaros <marcell.meszaros(a)runbox.eu> wrote: > > # Do not flame # > > Flaming, in the most common sense definition, is directing negative, disrespectful, and/or insulting comments toward someone.

Are you suggesting that every AUR package that is up to date with master where there is a -git package should be removed? bbswitch-ati-dkms-git 0.8.5.gddbd243-1 3 bbswitch-ati-git 0.8.5.gddbd243-1 darling r3131.fa5348c8a-1 darling-git r3131.fa5348c8a-1 yay 11.1.0-1 yay-git 11.1.0.r0.gac13060-1 AUR rules https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AUR_submission_guidelines#Rules_of_submiss… “If it is currently maintained, changes can be submitted in a comment for the maintainer's attention.
