Personally, I don't think that someone needs to go through all the trouble of adding an editor for the off chance that someone needs to make a cosmetic change. Also, someone also brought up the point that it would just be a text edit, and not a _real_ editor by any stretch of the imagination. You can pry my vim from my cold dead hands. I agree that it would only be good for cosmetic changes, add the possible problems and it would be more harm than good.
Re: [aur-general] dmraid 1.0.0-rc15
Hi I have tested the testing package, and it does not work. Same problem as dmraid rc14 with jmicron : whitespaces in devices name ( jmicronRAID0p1 ) So back to my own package of dmraid rc15. As soon as I get back my install running - I still have to remake initram with my working dmraid ( yeah yeah I should not test here ... :) ) - I will send you my pkgbuild if you want. 2009/7/2 Antoine Noal antoine.n...@gmail.com Hi I have tested the testing package, and it does not work.

[aur-general] Recommended Encoding for PKGBUILDS?
Hi there, I noticed a while ago that the AUR webinterface doesn't show my name correctly when the character encoding in the PKGBUILD is utf-8. Is there a recommended encoding? iso-8859-1? Something else? I'm asking because I'm checking through my 50 PKGBUILD files and want to avoid issues in future. Regards, Philipp

Re: [aur-general] Recommended Encoding for PKGBUILDS?
The display of package files is not really a part of the AUR interface but handled by the web server. It do not send a charset in the header (Content-Type: text/plain ) which means that the encoding solely depends on the default of the web browser (which is usually iso-8859-1). I assume that one can set a default charset in lighttpd which should probably be done.

Re: [aur-general] Recommended Encoding for PKGBUILDS?
I have one: dvdwizard. Look at the contributor's name in the first line. If I download it, I can fix it, but when I upload it again, it becomes broken in just the same way. I'm using utf-8 across the board. This only appears to affect the PKGBUILD viewer - comments are fine.

[aur-general] TU Application
Well my name is Nathan Owe. I am applying to be a TU, a person with the username Ghost1227 looked at some of my pkgs i have made, and he made suggestions on what i should do to improve my PKGBUILDs. well i downloaded all my packages and fixed them according to his suggestions. I do believe my packages do conform to the guidelines. The reason for applying for TU is because i love arch linux and i want to contribute back to this great OS. I love that i can contribute the way i am now, but i want to try and contribute to the development of AUR more by trying to help others as well. I have currently over 60 nearly 70 pkgs and still counting. I currently don't have a sponsor. I usually am signed into the IRC channel but usually don't talk much due to working on packages to contribute. my nickname is ndowens on both IRC and AUR.

Hi Nathan, I'm not longer a Trusted User so I do not get a vote in this anymore, but knowing how this works I would suggest that your application is coming too soon. In the past month, you have been asking for a lot of help doing what I consider fairly easy packaging. This is not saying that asking for help is a bad thing, but rather I think that you need more time to learn packaging techniques and get used to fixing problem situations. When you maintain packages in the [community] repo as a Trusted User, you are expected to be able to deal with breakages that occur. These are somewhat frequent in a rolling release distribution as updating a package that is in the dependency chain of one of your packages can cause your package to stop working properly. The TUs need to be confident that you will be able to handle such breakages (whether they need a patch or a simple sed line). I encourage you to continue learning the packaging system and try to become a TU at a later date. Most TUs had been packaging for half a year by the time of their application. Remember, there is a lot you can contribute to Arch without being a TU. In fact, the only thing TUs can do that you can not is put binary packages into the [community] repo. I'd suggest looking for bugs on the bug tracker and seeing if you can replicate the problem, try to fix it and post the fixed PKGBUILD to the bug tracker if you can. That teaches you how to deal with problems while proving your ability to become a Trusted User. Also remember that it is not the number of packages you maintain, but the quality of those packages. So try to help out in irc or the forums rather then taking another package just because you can. Packaging only software you are genuinely interested in helps keep the motivation going. Cheers, Allan
