[aur-general] Delete firefox-extension-firebug-stable
As discussed in a previous forgotten thread [1] consider to remove, again firefox-extension-firebug-stable [2], replaced by a simpler firefox-firebug [3], updated to work with latest ff 6.0.1 Votes could be merged. The main reason is a better naming consistency, since firefox-extension-firebug-stable makes little sense and other extensions in [community] follows the same convention (firefox-adblock-plus, firefox-noscript). firefox-extension-firebug-svn [4] can be also, probably, deleted (unmaintained, latest update on 2008) [1] http://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/aur-general/2011-August/015462.html Thomas S Hatch, who preferred to keep the old one, did not answer any more, maybe away [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=44809 [3] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=52050 [4] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=17554 P.S.

As it claims to be "Transitions for cinelerra mostly from akirad and OpenShot", I've uploaded a PKGBUILD cinelerra-swtc [2] containing the akirad transitions. I think cinelerra-transitions should be deleted as it is no more usable. I don't know if it makes sense to merge votes with cinelerra-swtc as it is only a subset of cinelerra-transitions.

As I pointed before, that is the only official resource still active of the ramen project (only 64 bit binary at the moment).

I sadly followed this discussion only remotely when it was ongoing, so I have to ask: The agreed upon solution for now is to default to http and only allow login from https? At least that's how it is at the moment and the http default feels a bit weird to me. When I can only log in with https I get the feeling I should use https and wonder why it isn't the default. I had a look at other parts of the Arch Linux website as well, here's an overview of the defaults: archlinux.org -> http -> no login anyway bbs.archlinux.org -> https-> separate login page wiki.archlinux.org -> https-> separate login page bugs.archlinux.org -> https-> login on main page aur.archlinux.org -> http -> login on main page As you can see, AUR is the fish out of water here, login is on the arrival page, but you can't log in by default. I'm sorry to make the suggestion this late, but I'd vote for https as default for AUR. Best regards, Philipp

I know that some of the navigation bar links aren't updated yet. I sent a patch for Flyspray to Pierre, and also asked him to update the header include used in our cgit setup. It should be only a matter of time until all links are up-to-date.

Thanks for your efforts to secure AUR. Yeah, you request the HTTP version (your browser does this automatically if you skip the protocol part), so this is kind of expected behaviour. We could introduce an HTTPs redirect for the AUR home page. Not sure if that is the right thing to do, though.

I sadly followed this discussion only remotely when it was ongoing, so I have to ask: The agreed upon solution for now is to default to http and only allow login from https? At least that's how it is at the moment and the http default feels a bit weird to me. When I can only log in with https I get the feeling I should use https and wonder why it isn't the default. I had a look at other parts of the Arch Linux website as well, here's an overview of the defaults: archlinux.org -> http -> no login anyway bbs.archlinux.org -> https-> separate login page wiki.archlinux.org -> https-> separate login page bugs.archlinux.org -> https-> login on main page aur.archlinux.org -> http -> login on main page As you can see, AUR is the fish out of water here, login is on the arrival page, but you can't log in by default. I'm sorry to make the suggestion this late, but I'd vote for https as default for AUR. HTTPs is the default - unless you request the HTTP version explicitly. I know that some of the navigation bar links aren't updated yet. I sent a patch for Flyspray to Pierre, and also asked him to update the header include used in our cgit setup. It should be only a matter of time until all links are up-to-date. When I type aur.archlinux.org in firefox I get the http version, that's what I mean by default. Thanks for your efforts to secure AUR. Regards, Philipp This firefox extension works for me - HTTPS finder; https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/https-finder/

[aur-general] wtf? tcp_wrappers back in [community]?
Sergej, We spent a week rebuilding packages to get tcp_wrappers out of [core] and out of the repos. Now I see that you've moved it back into [community]. What the hell? Were you going to start recompiling packages against tcp_wrappers and adding it back as a dep? Not acceptable. We all made this decision as a team, so I'm not sure why you're trying to fight us. I'm db-remove'ing this (again) and putting it back where it belongs. Regards, Dave
Re: [aur-general] wtf? tcp_wrappers back in [community]?
Dave, we should not recompile anything. But it is usefull package with 24 votes which has many dependencies in AUR. It is just a way to make things easier for guys who want to use tcp_wrappers. I assume all developers build packages in chroots and it should not break anything even if some developer occasionaly install tcp_wrappers.

I'm sure that whoever wants to use tcp_wrappers, and therefore is willing to recompile all the services that support it on every update, won't mind building one more package. I'd say we keep it out of the binary repos. :)

I've installed it now and it works fine, thanks for the tip. What I wonder is whether it's worth the trouble to register the site, maintain the rules and have users install a plugin. I'm also sceptical because this is an opt-in solution for a security feature, which means that a lot of users won't benefit. Thanks, Philipp

There are packages that we don't want in the binary repos, even if they have a lot of votes. awesome [1] is another good example. It has almost 400 votes but uses cairo-xcb which is broken.

Why are the Arch webby bods > forcing this nanny-state twatmuppetry down our throats? It shouldn't be enforced, it should be the default. But you're right, it seems it is enforced in some cases, with the redirect on bugs.archlinux.org for example. In this case the login is on the main page, which is probably the reason for the redirect. It's really somewhat confusing, in the meantime I start to think that optimally both would be available and the browser settings should be the place to decide (in general).

Since https is the default login, google search find the http interface. That's not much bad, but if I want to login after that, I can't just mouse-click the new "http login disabled" message. IMHO, it would be nice to have a URL in front of this warning that forwards to https in the same page you are at the moment, instead of going to AUR Home. Example: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=41362 # goes to https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=41362 -- Rafael
