Therefore orphaned packages will be removed in the transition. Think of it as a cleanup. You as a maintainer have until August 1st to upload your packages to AUR4 otherwise everyone may take over what you once maintained. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

This means that all package bases, accounts and comments added so far will be deleted. If you already imported your packages, don't panic: You can use a one-liner like $ for pkg in *; do ( cd "$pkg" && git push ); done to resubmit everything. Regards, Lukas

[aur-general] please adopt package
Is anyone interested in adopting this package? It doesn't take much to maintain, as it hasn't been updated in awhile, but it is still very useful to some. I no longer have an Arch installation, so maintenance is difficult. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/extract-xiso/

Just use mksrcinfo from pkgbuild-introspection-git at https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pkgbuild-introspection-git (I suppose mksrcinfo will be incorporated into pkgbuild-introspection). Generating such a file manually is error-prone, using mksrcinfo ensures that the file is exactly what AURweb needs. Best, Marcel

And since there are so many questions around it this past week on the mailing list, it might be a good idea to have it on record for new maintainers when they go to submit their first packages as well. - Justin
