Re: [aur-general] Remove request for a package
Hi I recently created a package mlorg-git. Unfortunately, the first PKGBUILD uloaded on the AUR named the package mlorg. I noticed the error and submitted a new package named mlorg-git, and then flagged out-of-date the mlorg package. Is it possible to delete the mlorg one ? mlorg: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=61386 mlorg-git: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=61387 Thanks Thibault Suzanne

I'm not a pacman dev, I just lurk on the pacman-dev mailing list, so I can't point at specific patches, but the git repo is here: http://projects.archlinux.org/ I'm not sure if the relevant code is in the official pacman repo or Allan's working tree. These may also be of interest: http://www.archlinux.org/pacman/ http://www.archlinux.org/pacman/HACKING.html http://www.archlinux.org/pacman/submitting-patches.html If this isn't the info you need, it might be worthwhile to ask around on the pacman-dev mailing list.

In some case this could be difficult to do (eg massive rebuild for a libname change) and in these cases it is ok to "blindly" push package on the basis that is compile and test it later. In any case, I would expect that a package is minimally tested before it goes to the repos.

I believe a maintainer's job is to ensure that a package works before making it accessible to everyone. Of course sometimes we're guilty of assuming stuff "should probably just work" but let's not automate that attitude. Otherwise it's OK if you push these to a testing repo me thinks. But to do justice after you return you should check them one by one :P Also you can do this on a case-by-case basis depending on how often things are likely to break. Yet I think just auto building is fine but not auto pushing. -- GPG/PGP ID: C0711BF1

Personally I think that your tool to automatically generate the updated
packages is great and very handy. On the other side, I'm not willing to
trust a package that has been generated automatically without any sort
of control to be installed on my system (and I think I'm not the only
one). The wrong thing IMHO is to automatically push the new package to
the repo without any real test and check ("it builds" is not an answer).
I'm not a TU, but I think your tools could be used to prepare the new
updated packages in a local pool, ready to be tested and checked and
then *manually* fetched to the repo only if everything is fine.
