No, we can only acknowledge that we disagree on that point.
I believe that Trusted Users are trusted to enforce some quality guidelines on AUR.
Otherwise AUR will just descent into more and more chaos.
Which does not benefit either users, nor maintainers or TU's themselves.
When an Electron (Javascript) application is already properly configured and hosted in Arch repo, it is detrimental to have on AUR a differently packaged copy of the same internal contents with unnecessary and potentially insecure duplicated chromium/electron runtime.
You have not refuted the validity of any of my points above.

Re: [PRQ#70009] Deletion Request for rpcs3
by Vitalii Kuzhdin
Hello Ani,
Firstly, I would like to point out that VCS package functionality is rarely
found in major repositories. For example, ALT Linux, FreeBSD Ports, Scoop,
SlackBuilds, and T2 SDE all use Git tags similarly to how this package is
structured. Meanwhile, Nixpkgs and OpenSUSE employ a version+revision
approach, where the package is periodically updated to a newer commit. I am
unsure how you expect non-AUR users to always have access to the latest
build.
Secondly, I want to reiterate that updating the version of a VCS package
without any changes to the build process is against the rules. While it is
technically possible, it violates AUR guidelines. Another issue with VCS
packages is their poor integration with AUR helpers. Even if a user
manually requests a rebuild (e.g., with yay -S rpcs3-git), yay will update
pkgver but will skip the build, silently installing an older cached version
under a misleading new pkgver. This only makes the matters worse, as you
will receive bug reports from outdated versions misidentified as the latest.
Furthermore, as I have already explained with the LuaJIT example, official
Arch repositories (core, extra, etc.) do not support VCS packages. If this
package were ever to gain enough popularity for inclusion in the official
repositories, there would be no option to build the latest commit directly.
The only alternative would be to explicitly inform users that the official
Arch package is, in fact, unofficial and that they must install
aur/rpcs3-git, forcing them to:
1. Trust an unsigned script from an unknown third party,
2. Install an extensive toolchain (several gigabytes in size) just to
compile the package locally,
3. Maintain a stable internet connection to avoid failures during
multiple git clone operations,
4. Spend significant time compiling the package,
5. Potentially encounter build errors due to the instability of VCS
packages,
6. Possibly discover that a newer commit was published before their
build even completed,
7. Realize that their bug reports may be of little value due to the
inherent non-reproducibility of VCS packages.
If you plan to contact all distributions currently packaging RPCS3 this way
to enforce your versioning scheme, I would like to reiterate my proposed
solution: periodic version bumps. I have not seen any direct
counterarguments to this approach, and if you already have an automated
system for triggering updates, I do not see why this would be an issue. As
long as there are no changes to .gitmodules dependencies, new versions
could be released automatically without manual intervention. Even if
adjustments were required, modifying the PKGBUILD would be trivial.
On a side note, there is a reason why most widely adopted software projects
maintain multiple branches and restrict bug reports from stable releases.
As long as new commits are pushed faster than the project can be rebuilt, a
rolling-release package will inevitably lag behind the latest development
state.
Best regards,
Vitalii

You said I want to steal, referred to me as "hippies like MarsSeed", you said I was lying. You falsely accused me of spamming, to disqualify my legitimate answers.
That's flaming, fair and square.
Please try to aim for a more civil tone in the future. Explain your side without derogatory statements and deliberate mischaracterization of the opposing argument. Don't attribute hostile and malicious intent to the other side where there is none (it is a form of ad hominem, and a failure of reasoning).
I think you can do better than that.
Please don't continue in this antagonistic manner. I thank you for that in advance if you adhere to it.

Marcell, As you so clearly pointed out, the TUs are trusted to enforce
some quality quidelines on the AUR. You are not a TU.
You claim I have not refuted your claims, however there is little reason
to do so, as I have not seen you refute any of mine. I suggest we both
drop this as I suggested a few messages ago, as clogging up the mailing
list with this BS is hardly productive, and I didn't think I'd need to
spell it out.

Re: [PRQ#45699] Merge Request for archey3-git
by Gaspard d'Hautefeuille
Sure ok, you did spam and I considered you misappropriated comments from me and the upstream archey3 dev.
I consider this merge request inappropriate as you requested to merge a VCS package into a non-VCS package from a different upstream author with a different package.
And you did not give examples of successful merge requests with this exact scenario.
As said previously, I am now maintaining as well archey4-git <https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/archey4-git> to support Arch Linux users.
I edited my GitHub issue on the archey3 upstream repo so it now reflects a more civil tone and it does not mention you.

Re: [aur-requests] [PRQ#10670] Deletion Request for dune
by Archange
Hi,
Thanks for your email and sorry about this… This is quite a long story,
but those deletion notifications (as a matter of fact, 5 packages from
the `(ocaml-)merlin` dependency tree are “affected”) now remind me I was
only half-way through before I had to go…
First thing is that I did not use AUR PKGUILDs for any of those packages
for two reasons:
1. I missed them in the first place, because I did look for
`ocaml-merlin` only /sigh/ —especially to end up with the name `merlin`
for the package after more carefully looking at OCaml packaging
guidelines— and then was clearly tired (did that between 10 p.m. and 2
a.m., on and before a day I had other things to do) and just started to
recursively package anything needed I could not find in our repos,
without checking at AUR once again… This has actual consequences that I
need to address btw (regarding version numbers).
2. I mostly never use AUR PKGBUILDs anyway when pushing to [community],
unless they are things that are hard to figure when trying to build,
because their quality is generally poor.
Now, I actually spent almost 4 hours for writing those PKGBUILDs
“correctly” (in the sense of having them build in a [community]-suitable
way), so I can definitively agree that it is not just a `./configure;
make; make install` thing (and even worse than that, there is actually a
`./configure` in `merlin`, but it is not `autotools` one… And most
mjambon’s libs had strange `make` targets and no install ones… since his
switch to `dune/jbuilder` for his projects. Reminded me of that FOSDEM
talk on “How to make package managers cry”…).
So actually finding the AUR package (well finding them earlier, because
I did find `dune` afterwards and wrote somewhere I should look at that)
would have helped me a lot, because that was quite painful indeed
(especially finding how to pass flags during `make` and which ones where
supported). That being said, I’m perfectly fine in adding you to the
“credits”, and by the way don’t really care about that tag (I only care
about the `Maintainer` tag being accurate, because it is useful for some
tools like repology).
On the technical side of things, you’ve raised some concerns:
1. Why is there no dependency on `ocaml`?
2. Why is there no dependency on `opam`?
3. Why is there no optional runtime dependency on `ocaml-find`?
4. What is going on with the versioning scheme?
And here are some answers:
1. That’s a perfectly valid concern. I admit having not given many
thought about it and mostly went with what `namcap` returned. I cannot
find a case where it would be useful without it, so I’m adding it to
dependencies, thanks.
2. While I was working on the packaging of `dune`, I did not noticed it
needed `opam` for some actions. I did when trying to build mjambon’s
libs, and he kindly sent me toward
https://github.com/ocaml/dune/issues/372 (from
https://github.com/mjambon/easy-format/pull/20, which is something I’ve
also forgotten to do for the other ones). So I hope for `opam` to not be
required anymore in the future, at least for my use of `dune`, but in
the meantime I will add it to the dependencies.
3. Well I did not thought about putting it there since it was already in
my `makedepends` array for my mjambon’s libs PKGBUILDs (as per OCaml
packaging guidelines). But now that I look at it again, those
`makedepends` arrays are basically `(ocaml-findlib dune opam)`, so
moving this as well as `opam` to `dune` dependencies totally makes
sense. Hard dependency, that is.
4. That’s a more though point. Your (well actually upstream’s)
versioning scheme is actually not valid for a PKGBUILD, because
`1.0+beta17` is in fact an higher version number than `1.0`, and thus
would have required an epoch when updating to the final release. That
being said, since your package does exist, this also means my version
number is not higher than AUR’s one, which is not necessarily a good
practice (and actually they are similar issues because of pkgrel for the
other ones). They are two solution, with one minor variation: either we
tell people to manually install the [community] one over the AUR one, or
we add an `epoch`, which can be then done either now (and then keeping
“my” —as a matter of fact the standard for this kind of things—
versioning scheme) or when 1.0 final is released by moving to your
versioning scheme. Any opinion on this?
BTW, you have also made me notice I forgot to enable tests in `dune` and
`cppo` (but I did latter in `merlin` and `ocaml-*`). So at this point
you have definitively earned your `Contributor` tag if you care about
it. ;) (And please read below if you even want the `Maintainer` one,
that’s possible)
And thanks for mentioning `ocp-build`, because as a matter of fact in my
attempt to package `merlin`, I was also after `ocp-indent` and thus
`ocp-build`, already added them in my staging directory and thus missed
to check AUR again, but stopped there because of time. Seems like
`ocp-indent` is not there, but I’m already interested by your
`ocp-build` would it be just because it carry a patch with it,
containing something I would probably not have thought about, or its
clear indication that I will have to look carefully at that
`./configure`… ;)
And for what is worth, I’m actually not doing any development in OCaml,
but we have very recently switched to it for some algorithm teaching in
France (from caml-light, for which we have been the only users I believe
for the past 20 years…), and for some reasons not relevant for this
discussion I needed proper support for OCaml in my editor (and the
student’s ones). So that’s why I’m packaging all this, but otherwise
don’t care at all about OPAM and such because we are not going to use
anything outside of the standard. But if you are interested in packaging
them and maybe other things for ArchLinux, you might consider applying
for TU in which case I’d be OK to be your sponsor, since you will likely
do a better maintainer than I do for those OCaml packages, at least on
the ocaml building side. :)
Regards,
Bruno
P.S.: I have exactly the same issue as you when it comes to people
interpreting my mood by reading my writing, so I totally understand
that. Hint: I’ve learned that adding smileys, even if it might not look
very “professional“, helps a lot. ;)

> FWIW, great to have this in community. Not so great that a deletion request is the first thing that informs me about this and even less so to have somebody else run off with the work that I put into figuring out how to make this piece of software install correctly and only add a few mostly cosmetic changes for good measure, without even a mention. The process isn’t just './configure; make; make install'; at least for me it took a while to figure everything out, and I’m not exactly a newbie to all the crazy stuff that OCaml people tend to use in their build infrastructure.
> While I’m at it, I wonder what the purpose is behind not depending on OCaml for a tool aimed at building OCaml software. Secondly, OPAM is run automatically on most invocations of dune to my knowledge, so I believe depending on it is somewhat reasonable. And lastly, the sources of dune happen to mention in plain English that dune can make use of ocamlfind as an optional runtime dependency[1]. So much for my reasoning on the dependencies, I would have been happy to explain this earlier if someone had let me.
> Forgive me if I’m a little upset, but when the new community package even goes out of it’s way to provide compatibility with the versioning scheme I used on the jbuilder package before it was renamed to dune, I just don’t understand why not even a little heads-up à la “BTW this package is now in community” was possible. Personally, I even left a contributor line saying “Your Name <youremail(a)domain.com>” untouched in one of the packages I adopted, just to let people know that I’m not the only person who ever invested time in that package (namely ocp-build).

> tl;dr I know that in written form my thoughts tend to come off as being more furious than I actually am, and while I do in fact not like what I believe went on, what I really want you, Bruno, to take away from this is just „Please be a little more communicative in the future” :)
