I can think of a number of downsides with making that a requirement with possibly one upside.

Re: [aur-general] Perl PKGBUILD review
Hi François!
Would it be possible for you to upload the PKGBUILD to a pastebin service (e.g.
https://ptpb.pw/) and provide the link? Or better yet, does your package [1]
have the latest changes? It looks like it does. Asking because the formatting
was destroyed in your email.

Mhmm, after reading what anthraxx wrote I realized the mistake I made in not putting it in makedepends as well. It's like yes, the package will compile without it but the support will be missing and if you install hdf5 _after_ installing the package you still don't get the hdf5 support (since you needed to have hdf5 installed before compiling to enable it in the first place). signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Nice to see you applying, and good luck! :) Thanks :) Some quick comments on your AUR packages, but they basically look fine. git-git: - consider adding the latest systemd service changes from [extra]/git Done. - Why does this depend on glib2-git Initially it was because Namcap reported that glib2-git (which provided libgobject-2.0.so.0 and libglib-2.0.so.0) was needed for the files git-core/git-credential-libsecret and git-core/git-credential-gnome-keyring. Honestly it didn't need to be glib2-git as glib2 from [core] would work just as well in providing those libs. Seeing as libsecret from [core] has a dependency on glib2 I'll take glib2-git out and put libsecret in the optdepends array. - why are libgnome-keyring and libsecret hard dependencies for people not using those helpers? You're right, these should be optdepends. Also I took the liberty of removing libgnome-keyring as it's deprecated [1]. - Why go to all that extra effort to create a sysusers configuration when the benefit of using sysusers is removed by the need to set a login shell... which you do not add to /etc/shells? In the event that the sysusers configuration is ever made use of, the shell will still need to be fixed. I double checked this one and I am adding git-shell to /etc/shells within the install file [2]. This is the same behavior as git in [extra] [3]. gtk4-git: - url redirects to HTTPS version, this is really an [extra] issue Fixed. opencv-git: - url redirects to HTTPS version, this is really an [extra] issue Fixed. - The repo package has hdf5 as a makedepends/optdepends, why is this a depends? More importantly... why is it also still an optdepends? I dug around a bit and found this ticket [4] where it seems if you didn't have hdf5 as a makedepends, then the build would fail (I personally don't think it should have failed given the documentation [5]).

[aur-general] TU Application: Andrew Crerar
Hi Everyone! My name is Andrew Crerar (aka andrewSC) and I'm applying to become a Trusted User. Big thanks to Johannes Löthberg for being my sponsor! :) At the moment I'm a Research Software Engineer at The Laboratory for Analytic Sciences [1] where I primarily write Python 3.x (in combination with various other tech like nginx, gunicorn, elasticsearch, etc.) for the prototypes we're building here. Prior to working at the lab I was a Software Engineer and Computer Scientist at Adobe Inc. [2] where I lead and managed the development of Custom Creative Networks [3] (primarily PHP with some JS heavy elements) on the Behance [4] team. My Bachelor's degree is in Computer Science which I received from The Rochester Institute of Technology [5]. I've been using Arch Linux since 2008-2009ish and have seen it grow into something incredible. Over the past several years I've picked up a handful of packages [6] in the AUR which I enjoy maintaining. I also participate in package signoffs for [core], [extra], and [community]. I wish to grow my ability to contribute by becoming more involved in maintaining and managing the AUR while also making contributions to [community] where appropriate. More recently I've created and open sourced Checkthat [7] with the intention to help other AUR package maintainers increase the quality of their packages by combining makepkg and namcap to produce a status + lint report in an automated fashion. I'm not entirely sure if this could be considered an AUR helper so I've refrained from adding it to the wiki for the time being. I also contribute patches to upstream projects on occasion, the most recent being for Gtk+ [8]. If I were to become a Trusted User, I would like to move firefox-developer [9] to [community] as well as adopt Evangelos Foutras's [community] packages [10] if he doesn't want to move them to [extra]. I should mention that the firefox-developer package in the AUR, as it exists, would not be moved to [community]. I've been working with Jan Steffens to produce an acceptable PKGBUILD [11] that would. I would ask the TU's to review that PKGBUILD in place of the current AUR package. Furthermore, the primary reason I'm refraining from landing these changes immediately in the AUR is because it would dramatically increase build times for all current users of the package.

Re: [aur-general] Package ownership change request for yaourt-git
Stefan and Johannes, Thank you for replying to the request, I've noted that requests should now be done through the web interface and will be updating the wiki shortly to reflect that. I was under the impression that the PKGBUILD was incorrect (pointing to the wrong repo, per the latest comment) but did not actually check the PKGBUILD to see if that was true. I'll be more through in my checks next time.

[aur-general] Package ownership change request for yaourt-git
Hi all, I (andrewSC) would like to request ownership of yaourt-git (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/yaourt-git/) as it's been flagged out-of-date for some time now. Regards, Andrew
[aur-general] Package ownership change request for gtk3-git and delete request for gtk+-git
Hi all, I (andrewSC) would like to request ownership of gtk3-git ( https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gtk3-git/) as it's been flagged out-of-date for some time now. If it's also possible could gtk+-git ( https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gtk%2B-git/) be deleted? Not only is the '+' breaking some things but it's also identical to gtk3-git. Let me know. Regards, Andrew
