The way Aptana is packaged, it seems you would need to copy the source

Since you can't compile the program and if you seperate the files or
directories, the program would not very likely run. What should I do? Ignore
it, or put the files/directories in another location besides /opt?
I didn't look at the PKGBUILD but when it's in /opt you can ignore it.
In fact you should.
Quotation from FHS 2.3:
No other package files may exist outside the /opt, /var/opt, and
/etc/opt hierarchies except for those package files that must reside
in specific locations within the filesystem tree in order to function
properly. For example, device lock files must be placed in /var/lock
and devices must be located in /dev.
However putting symlink or shellscript which will run the application
to /usr/bin is a good idea.

He is only counted in the quorum calculation if he has voted. I think this is basically the right idea (and I'm also not a TU but) I personally think it would get confusing if the quorum varies. In the interests of simplicity, clarity and fairness, my view would be that a quorum should be fixed for the lifetime of a vote, so that everyone participating knows. This could be done either a) including the new TUs or b) excluding them (though they would still be eligible to vote). I would argue for (b), since this way new TUs missing a vote by days, hours or minutes after their own election don't affect the quorum. Perhaps a simpler alternative would be to add to Xyne's original wording (which is very clear): Following the announcement, standard voting procedure commences with a discussion period of 5 days, a quorum of 66%, and a voting period of 7 days. The quorum is counted among TUs who are active throughout both the discussion period and the voting period. Adding: This is only used to calculate quorum and does not prevent any TU from voting. HTH, Pete. Another wording which I find easier to understand would be a modification of the new sentence introduced by Xyne from: The quorum is counted among TUs who are active throughout both the discussion period and the voting period. to: The quorum is counted among TUs who are active at the point of time the voting is started at the AUR but every TU is allowed to vote. I like this one. Even when not beeing a native speaker I find it perfectly clear. Lukas
Re: [aur-general] TU Bylaws amendment proposal

If a TU then becomes inactive during the vote and prior to casting his or her own vote, he or she would still count towards the quorum, which doesn't make sense. Second proposal: The quorum is normally counted among TUs who are active from the beginning of the discussion period until the end of the voting period. Other TUs may participate in the vote if they wish, in which case they shall be among those counted to establish quorum. Example: * 20 active TUs during the whole procedure (start of discussion to end of vote): quorum is 14 (0.66 * 20, rounding up) * 2 new and one inactive TU decide to participate: quorum becomes 16 (0.66 * 23, rounding up) The second sentence thus prevents skewed quorums.
[aur-general] PKGBUILD/AUR help
I'm trying to enhance the PKGBUILD of kernel26-pf to detect the cpu-specific .config option and automatically add it to the generated package and its description, by tweaking the $PKGEXT and $pkgdesc variables. Example: an amd64-k8 optimized kernel would be packaged as kernel26-pf-2.6.35-pf7-k8.pkg.tar.xz. The PKGBUILD I've created (see http://pastebin.ca/1931033 - relevant lines 96-138) builds and creates the package just fine using makepkg, but submission of the source package to AUR fails. I know that $PKGEXT perhaps shouldn't be tampered with, but I'm open to suggestions.

E.g. a browser: Should it be categorized as network or x11? Is there a exact definition of these categorys somewhere? If not, one should be written. Regards, PyroPeter AFAIK not. The categories aare for better searching in AUR only, they have no technical reason in pacman. therefore the issue seems not important enough for someone writing an exact definitions document. Regards Stefan That is self-contradictory: If categorys are not well defined, it would be useless to use them for searching. The only area where they would be of limited use would be for blacklisting: E.g. If I would be running a system without X, I could hide packages that are in the x11-category. The question is: If that feature mostly useless, does it make sense to implement it? Does the little use in blacklisting outweight the added complexity? Imo this feature should be removed. ### On bug #7132: I did not read all of the comments, as they tended to digress. I differentiate between 'categorys' (a pkg can only be in _one_ category at a time) and 'tags' (multiple tags allowed per pkg). I think of categorys as very inflexible, because the reality just does not provide things fitting exactly into only one category. Tags, on the other hand, would be a solution to the problem of packages fitting into multiple categorys. But they have a big disadvantage: All packages _must_ be tagged with all matching tags, or the whole thing gets useless in some use-cases. This limits the number of tags that can be defined, as one needs knowledge of all definitions to be able to properly tag a package. Checking a package for correct tagging also is very hard, and gets harder with every additional tag defined. This all leads me to the conclusion that categorys or tags produce more work then they save. Regards, PyroPeter -- freenode/pyropeter 12:50 - Ich drücke Return.

Making mistakes hopefully means you learn from them. Also, I don't find you annoying at all, I would actually prefer more users to be like you :)

In my view asking questions can be better than asking none at all and create bad packages or packages that could possibly harm somebody's system. Thanks :)

The questions you ask not only improve your work, but help others out if they come across a similar issue/question.

Votes: yes = 14, no = 2, abstain = 5. Out of curiosity, has anyone who's reached the voting period ever failed to get the majority of yes votes? Just a 'historical'-type query, idle curiosity on a holiday. There was a guy that recently tried to help out as a TU, but he needed more experience and know-how, he wasn't lacking in motivation or cause though. He didn't officially apply though. Well yes I remember that guy. I was more wondering about whether a vote has failed before. Yes. I can't find it right now but it certainly happened. IIRC it was some guy who just came to Arch Linux.
