"releasing software since like 1995/96 or so" That roughly puts age in the mid-40s with 25 serious years of software development. That's is not intended to take anything away from the 17 year old genius out there, but that age = experience typically tends to provide a "more steady hand on the rudder" for lack of better words. The fact that the development experience is with C is all the better: https://lwn.net/Articles/249460/ :) -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Orphan Request Submitted, Since 5.2 did continue to provide functionality that was not yet mature in the rewite that are the 6.0/6.1 branches, an immediate deletion isn't warranted as the package used with LTS may well provide a seamless bridge while bugs are resolved against the 6.0/6.1 branches for some users. The entire 6.0/6.1 platform is barely 7 months old at this point. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
[aur-general] AUR - Best Practices when Package no longer Supported for Linux upstream but LTS fine?
Aur devs, The virtualbox 5.2 branch is unsupported as of July 2020. Oracle continues to put out testbuilds for 5.2, but currently it does not build with 5.8 (LTS is fine). 5.2.44 was the last release for the 5.2 branch and there will be no further updates to support Linux 5.8. What do I do with the package? Do I mark it LTS only in some way, or just disown it or have it removed? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
[aur-general] Uploading (git clone) fails
All, I built gnu-cflow and was going to upload it to aur. I created a new ecdsa key, added the contents of the public key to my aur profile, copied the new key to ~/.ssh/cflow.pub on my machine and then attempt to an upload with: git clone ssh://a...@aur.archlinux.org/cflow.git Cloning into 'cflow'... Permission denied (publickey). fatal: Could not read from remote repository. Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists. What am I doing wrong? -- David C.

You'll also need to do `ssh-add ~/.ssh/your-private-key` to add it to your keyring. ~Celti I had it configured correctly to use the new key. However, since it wasn't the primary key for the box, it wasn't transmitted for authentication. I just changed my aur profile key to the primary key and it worked without having to mess with the agent nonsense. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
[aur-general] Removal - poppler-qt3 0.16.7-1 - no longer needed (no kdemod3)
Guys, Reviewing my AUR packages, the poppler-qt3 0.16.7-1 needs to be removed from AUR. This package was used with the old kdemod3 build from Chakra. It is no longer needed by anything. TDE provides its own version: see: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Trinity So pursuant to the Arch User Repository wiki (under 6.3 Other requests), could you all review it and remove it. It's not worth disowning. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
