[aur-general] TU resignation
I've stopped using Arch ever since I've switched to GuixSD[1] (a functional-oriented distribution focusing on reproducible builds and completely custimizable in Guile Scheme) and it's now quite clear that there will be no coming back. My involvement in this new project and in others (Emacs, Next Browser[2]) takes a lot more time than what I can afford into maintaining my Arch packages. I have a bunch of out-of-date packages in [community]: - emms - qutebrowser - udiskie - uncrustify Other [community] packages: - catdvi - ccrypt - dtach - fzf - gtypist - mu (A user requested that we built msg2pdf as part of the package) - pdfjs (optional for qutebrowser) - pstotext - python-keyutils (required by udiskie) - python-pypeg2 (require by qutebrowser) - tcc - trash-cli - xcape - xss-lock And on the AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/?K=Ambrevar&SeB=m I hope the Arch community keeps up with the good work!

Re: [aur-general] [PATCH] upgpkg: qutebrowser 1.3.0-1
Sorry for the awfully long delay. The patch looks good to me. I haven't much time for Arch these days, so if any of the developers / trusted users is willing to apply and test it, please go ahead :) Thanks! -- Pierre Neidhardt signature.asc Description: PGP signature

[aur-general] Build packages without Arch on pkgbuild.com
I've recently written a paragraph on how to build Arch Linux packages on pkgbuild.com (a.k.a. soyuz): https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR_Trusted_User_Guidelines#Remote_build_on_PKGBUILD.com To perform the complete operation on soyuz, we need to forward the gpg-socket (and the SSH socket if different) to soyuz, which defeats the PGP / Web of Trust security model: for a person with root access to soyuz, the private key is only one passphrase away. Thoughts? As I understand it for now, the full-PGP way to package on soyuz is to only run extra-x86_64-build there. All other operations can be run locally. The only area where I'm left in the dark is the "archrelease" step of "communitypkg": what's the equivalent on a foreign distribution? -- Pierre Neidhardt signature.asc Description: PGP signature

[aur-general] Qutebrowser update
Qutebrowser 1.1.2 is out: https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser/releases.

Re: [aur-general] Dropping python-colorlog and python2-colorlog
It's rather silly, really. I initially moved it to [community] because it was an optional dependency for Qutebrowser... or so I thought. Until Florian (Qutebrowser's maintainer) let me know that Qutebrowser got rid of that dependency a while back. So now it's in [community] and out-of-date but I have not interest at all in the package, so if anybody wants it, please go ahead :) signature.asc Description: PGP signature

You are probably right about that.

No answer from the dev so far, so I've packaged the latest commit as Eli
suggested.
Let me know if there is anything wrong.

Re: [aur-general] Moving xss-lock to community
It's only 4 commits since 0.3.0, two of them being critical fixes. I could backport those two commits (just tried: no conflict); it feels needlessly pedantic however, compared to using "master" straight away.

The 100%-cpu issue should be fixed upstream on master (and thus also in the -git package).
