But if I want to be a good maintainer, I do understand the reasons. and **The trust does not exclude the audit.** Excuse me for asking but is there anything preventing you from moving cairo-xcb to community if you become a TU? Yes, us. As far as i know if you become a TU you can maintain anything you want that has more than 10 votes in the AUR. Becoming a TU means that you become a member in the developement team, a team in which we trust each other, respect each other decisions, use the same packaging standards, the same tools as developers etc. I think if the package meets the guidelines then you shouldn't bully someone into not maintaining it. As long as he's providing the support that should suffice. Sometimes we may need to adjust the guidelines, and we decide this as a group through a formal vote. Seriously? Since when is adding a package that is already in the repos with a different configure flag a good idea? We don't even allow this in the AUR... Seriously. While it's not ideal, it has been done. I would consider it the same as including bin/lib32 packages just to include things like wine or whatever. The [community] repo is intended for this kind of experimentation and freedom. I think awesomewm has enough of a user base to justify such measures if a TU is willing to maintain it. While are you at this add firefox/thunderbird cairo system support. It has enough user base and a lot of complains about fonts that are not consistent with system, doesn't matter if firefox/tb is broken. We can do this /sarcasm I'm starting to get a bit peeved with people confusing [community] and [unsupported] with the [core] and [extra] bits. -- Ionuț

This doesn't compare with awesome though, which doesn't exist in the repos, and actually requires cairo-xcb. Firefox is available in the repos and your font issues can likely be worked around. At least I have no problems with fonts there. I'm starting to get a bit peeved with people confusing [community] and [unsupported] with the [core] and [extra] bits.

Let the discussion period begin! The discussion period has now ended and voting can begin. Please pop along to the AUR to do so: http://aur.archlinux.org/tu.php?id=47 There is a potential slight complication in that the byelaws have changed during the application process. However, since the vote itself started after the voting rules were changed, it seems sensible to me that this vote happens under the new byelaws. If anyone sees fit to disagree, please say so. (It is likely that it won't affect the outcome anyway, but you never know...) Thanks, and good luck Seblu! Pete.
[aur-general] Duplicate package: libpam_mysql
libpam_mysql (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=25249) is a duplicate of the package 'pam_mysql' in community. Thanks, Cody Maloney Random side note: pam_mysql should depend on libmysqlclient not mysql. Every client doesn't need to have MySQL installed.
