I'm happy to see you (finally) apply to become a TU! We've indeed met during Chaos Communication Congress, during FOSDEM if I'm not mistaken. Remi has been part of the security team since the beginning and has always contributed high quality reports. Working together with him has always been a great experience and I look forward to what he can bring to Arch as a TU. Greetings, Jelle van der Waa signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Some notes on your AUR packages: * choria-io - 'github.com/choria-io/go-choria/build.BuildDate=$(date '+%F %T %z')' Recording the build date is non reproducible, will give reproducibility issues. SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH can be used to make it reproducible, see https://reproducible-builds.org/docs/source-date-epoch/ - systemd unit could have some systemd hardening applied, see the wiki or 'man systemd.exec' https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_package_guidelines/Security#Systemd_services * log4r - Package lacks a license=(), upstream url is no longer valid it seems? * tftp-hpa-destruct - systemd service could use some hardening - how did you obtain the LICENSE file? From their official website? It's interesting it's not in the official tarball :) Greetings, Jelle signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

I quickly looked at your packages and found a few issues:
* filebin - the package is not -git but does pull from git master,
ideally it would use #commit= and maybe verify the commit if it's signed.
source=("git+https://github.com/Bluewind/filebin.git;
* srrdb-terminal-client is not reproducible at least not as you embed
the build date.
https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=srrdb-terminal-client#n26
This can be fixed with using SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH as for example is
applied here:
https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/tree/trunk/PKGBUILD?h=packages/prometheus-blackbox-exporter#n33
You can check if your package is reproducible by using `makerepropkg`.

Woot!
Just a few comments on your packages:
> - kak-lsp: de-facto official plugin that adds LSP support for kakoune editor.
- You should pass --locked to, so that the Cargo.lock file is adhered.
(reproducibility)
- The package has 3 votes, the TU guidelines define that a package with
atleast 10 votes can be moved. Something to keep in mind, note that
since it benefits kakoune it's fair to add it.

- patching should happen in prepare()
- electron packages should use our electron package and don't download
it again. (I'm assuming it does btw)
- ideally the desktop file should be from upstream or submitted upstream
- i686 shouldn't be in the arch=() array for community packages
- Just my personal opinion, but what the JavaScript!!!

No idea, what to make of the Golang stuff, melts my brains. This however
semes to not be reproducible? Or does upstream have a lock file for
locking it's deps?
I'm not a fan of supporting a non-supported component i.e. goole chrome.
I also wonder what's with the weird location /etc/opt/chrome?
You might want to use go-pie btw, to actually have PIE support
browserpass W: ELF file ('usr/bin/browserpass') lacks FULL RELRO, check LDFLAGS.
browserpass W: ELF file ('usr/bin/browserpass') lacks PIE.

The .install scriptlet shouldn't contain documentation. I'm also not

The .install scriptlet shouldn't really contain documentation. Ideally
that should be found on the wiki or in the man pages.
Systemd units should go into /usr/lib/systemd/system not /etc, that's
for user configuration!
Seeing you are active upstream, why doesn't it ship with a simple
Makefile? :)

I sincerely don't believe that this will have the right affect, it will be treated as spam.

I'd like to see arduino use the system binaries for those packages if that's possible. Maybe the package should be split up between arduino-sdk and arduino the ide itself.

I thought the same, but after thinking more... While AUR is unsupported, the project/site is still an official item. In my mind, it doesn't make sense to include unofficial platforms in official infrastructure, supported or not. We don't encourage documentation of other platforms in our wiki (do we?) While I'd wish this weren't true, your argument does make perfect sense, so I guess it's best to keep AUR clear of these architectures. I'm not a TU, but I actually think allowing other architectures in the PKGBUILDs is a Good Thing. The AUR is supposed be be a place of less-restricted user contribution - where packages (and/or architectures?) that developers are not interested in can be submitted. Sure it's not a problem or against the rules. I'm just afraid that ARM users will use the AUR and then complain that stuff doesn't work. As I have seen with for example archbang and archlinuxarm questions on #archlinux. It may be a bit of chicken-and-egg, though. The ppc/arm userbase might grow if arch is seen stable enough and seems to have sufficient packages, possibly making it worth being supported, but the lack of infrastructure won't make that so possible. Yes, I also see it as a way of welcoming the ppc/arm/etc userbase into the main Arch collective, and adding their technological distinctiveness to our own. -- Jelle van der Waa
Re: [aur-general] AUR and unsuported architectures
On 31/05/12 01:58, Hugo Osvaldo Barrera wrote: Hi, I've recently seen some comments in AUR, where a user points out that X package works well on powerpc/arm. I was wondering what's the general approach given to these architectures on AUR; since AUR is unsupported, is it ok to add these architectures to the PKGBUILD's arch array? If it is ok, is it *advised* to do so when apropriate? Supported architectures should see absolutely no change regarding these packages, and unsupported one will benefit from it. Again, being AUR unsupported anyway, I see nothing bad out of this, but I'd like to know the TU's stance on this, especially since I'm about to install archlinuxppc on one of my laptops. :) Cheers, thanks, When I first though about it, I wanted to say why not, it doesn't hurt the functioning of the normal i686,x86_64 packages. Except there might be a few drawbacks: * Become a place where ARM/PPC/* will look for support * ARM/PPC/* Folks might want to add patches specific for their architecture to AUR packages. -- Jelle van der Waa
