Re: [PRQ#42226] Deletion Request for wire-desktop-appimage

by Ashleigh Rowe

Hi Marcell, That may be the case, but there are many reasons to want to use an appimage over a natively installed application. And, given that it is not the same package, it need not be deleted. Taking the same logic to it's extreme, one could argue that a -git and a -bin version of a package need not both be on the AUR, as for users, it is the same. We both know, however, that this is not the case.

Just see how many comments are there in the last two links. Only two comments and those are complaints about invalid links. I hope you can see it before taking someone's side who questions others ability. and finally the packet tracer wiki https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/packettracer which still has that old packet tracer AUR page https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/packettracer I already tried downloading the package manually from Cisco official page and try building but it ends up only in errors. This is the thread I started last day >> https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1641320#p1641320 If you expect only an Arch Pro to work on your AUR stuff, then I have nothing to say.

Re: [PRQ#70945] Merge Request for openshift-codeready-bin

by Rubin

Hi all, So I've semi-recently had to do some work on an OpenShift-based platform, so I packaged a couple of at-the-time missing packages. At the time, I searched AUR for "openshift" related packages and found the "openshift-client-bin" package, which contains the oc command. I needed to work with tekton, codeready and odo, so I figured: "let me add the missing clients in the same vein as openshift-client-bin". So I added "openshift-developer-bin" for the 'odo' command, openshift-pipelines-bin for the 'opc', 'tkn' and 'tkn-pac' commands and openshift-codeready-bin for the 'crc' command (crc stands for code-ready-containers). It turned out that there is a crc-bin package already. I didn't catch that at the time, and now I have this merge-into-theirs (crc-bin) request. This is fine in principle, but I do think it is a better experience for ArchLinux and AUR users if they can find openshift-related packages simply by looking for openshift in the package name instead of for a specific binary, plus, not unimportantly, some of these clients (pipelines) consist of mutiple binaries, hence my thinking that simply "binary + name" might not be the best naming convention in this case. So I'm not sure if my voice has any weight here, and I'm not sure what is the best way forward: * Do nothing, just abandon my variant? * Or should I engage (how? where? with whom?) and try to work for a bit of naming consistency? In any case, the re-upload of this package was by accident a couple of months ago (I have a script that iterates over my packages and uploads after I've done changes, and I left this directory in the wrong place, leading to it being re-uploaded - I thought that would be impossible, and/or that the package would be hidden, but it turns out it actually got re-created). I also asked on #archlinux-aur but I didn't get any response (yet). Kind regards, Rubin!

Re: [PRQ#65702] Deletion Request for kdeplasma-blurredwallpaper-git

by Bouteiller Alan

Hello, - I'm not the author of the plasma6-wallpapers-blurredwallpaper package, but I'm the author of the github repository. And historically I maintain the AUR package, and for obvious reason I want to keep maintaining the AUR package for my work, plus this package is out of date with the version of my work on github, what I can do about that? The guy built this package while I was migrating the AUR and the source between plasma 5 and 6 without ever contacting me before doing it. - I followed the wiki for building my package (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Arch_package_guidelines#Package_sources) I'm a little bit lost about what I have to do between what the wiki says and what you have written in your email: - If I have to take an example, is this package good: https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=python-shgo-git? - For the following "provides, conflicts, and depends" I do not see why I have to put the "provides" in my package. I understand that conflicts may contain the plasma6 package from dr460nf1r3 and that depends must contain plasma-workspace. - If I update my code on github (let's say to v4) with a well written VCS package, I just need to update the pkgver key, right? Thanks for all your answers, I'm doing this for fun, but I want to do it properly, so sorry if my questions sound silly. I'm also going to update the kdeplasma-arch-update-notifier-git package because it has the same kind of problem in it. Best.

Re: [aur-requests] [PRQ#11354] Deletion Request for firefox-always-nightly

by Félix Saparelli

Yeah, I'm deliberately in contravention of the rules and style of AUR to get those advantages. Also note it's not really a "new" package (four years)! But I understand if it gets deleted. Although, if it does get picked for deletion is there a way I could request a stay of execution? I'm investigating an alternate solution that wouldn't rely on the AUR at all, and therefore wouldn't push against its rules, but it's going to take a while (~1 month?) to get set up, and if I could offer a good transition strategy to those who like this flavour, then voluntarily kill it, that would probably be a better user experience.

Re: [aur-requests] [PRQ#25316] Deletion Request for multimc-lhaus-git

by Christopher Snowhill (kode54)

From what I've gathered from watching the list on these launchers, at least the official TLauncher Legacy: Apparently, the AUR doesn't like to get into enforcing end user license agreements, or EULAs, and tracks that EULAs are not legally enforceable. I'm not entirely sure where to stand on this issue, since the launchers are not supplying the pirated game, only allowing downloading it from Microsoft's own servers, using the same method as the official launcher, which doesn't guard this download process behind any DRM. The only thing they do which may be considered a circumvention device, is spoof the authentication or session information to the game's own API calls, so that it will actually run and think that it's genuinely connected to Microsoft's servers and authenticated with either a Mojang or a Microsoft account via the launcher. They also spoof the email address or user name that allegedly authenticated, so technically you could try to connect to any Minecraft server as any user that you want, and it will just generate an arbitrary deterministic UUID for your fake account when you "log in" to offline mode. So, not so much just an EULA violation, but also a copy protection circumvention device. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. Anyone who is willing to, is welcome to use a VM or something to install all these various launchers one by one and verify whether they let you play the game "offline", and if so, if that can just connect to arbitrary Minecraft servers using a spoofed deterministic UUID. Then we can decide whether it's in the AUR's best interest to ban these clients, or just stick to saying "we only host the recipe to install and/or build the app, not our problem". > On Jul 19, 2021, at 5:23 AM, xcfrg <xcfrg(a)protonmail.com> wrote: > > That launcher does indeed support "offline mode" but my request for the package seemed to get denied because "it wasn't hosted on the aur".

But indeed I have receive your message through the mailing list, so it is a proper form of reply. Just for clarification, I am just a fellow AUR user and not at all any kind of authority figure here. I was going through the AUR packages looking for potentially unneeded ones. Since you have expressed that this package is legit, can you maybe elaborate on what is the use case of this library? E.g., what do you personally use it for? And what does it offer to AUR users? I see that it was submitted to the current AUR database on 2015-06-19, and has 3 votes. Upstream's last git tag, v0.0.1 was created on Jul 4, 2013, and the devel branch has 210 newer commits, with the last one created ~4.5 years ago, on Nov 15, 2019. But from the looks of the code, the readme, the repo, the few (already accepted or closed) pull requests, and the few issues, everything seems to be a joke, or belonging to someone's personal learning sandbox rather than any focused and purpose-made project. On AUR there are no comments, and no reverse dependencies. I personally am not opposed to keeping this package, but on the other hand, if it does not offer anything that other AUR users benefit from, then by AUR submission guidelines it is not something worth having here. Thank you in advance for any insight you can provide on the utility and merits of this library! Cheers, Marcell / MarsSeed
