Re: (suspension of Pellegrino Prevete) - was: removal of yuzu from the official repos
Hey, Can we please wrap this up? I don't care if Tallero gets permanently suspended or not. We've all seen this discussion before just 2 months ago and it lasted for over two weeks and 39 emails.[1] Could we either just ban Tallero for clear violation of the code of conduct or move the discussion elsewhere? Kind regards, Levitating [1]: https://lists.archlinux.org/hyperkitty/list/aur-general@lists.archlinux.org/thread/GOOJIO56E2GGTBPF4FHTYXSUKPBJ3BIQ/

Ey, Something you might want to work on is differentiating between the contexts of emails and chats. I see that you have Telegram configured as your email client, so you may not realize that. Many people, including me, try to contain everything we have to say in a single message instead of treating the medium like the rapid-fire pace and short lengths of instant messaging. Emails are also usually expected to be a lot more cordial, although that doesn't mean you can't be casual. -- Cheers, Aᴀʀᴏɴ

@Muflone and other PM's, is this acceptable language against someone in the Arch/AUR community? I must stress this was an hyperbole and I don't certainly think you're crazy and I hope this can be sorted out somehow.

Like imagine breaking a leg and have Marcell knowing that and keep ignoring it in public. Imagine complaining with somebody he calls you your name in his language to ease things after an year and a half knowing him. Users of this aur who have interacted with me over those 9 months or so who would read such statements of him would horrify knowing he knows more or less the same things they know yet he is even mentioning them.

Re: (suspension of Pellegrino Prevete) - was: removal of yuzu from the official repos
This individual who has even the courage of replying has broken huge dependency trees in front of me without any shame because of one liners in the main packages, has ignored my private communications on logistic issues and kept insulting me, has sent me packets of 10-20 out dates notifications at time, has seized hardware packages for my machine, has seized packages of my own software, has kept ignoring all my hints to check my centralized public build and changes log and schedule to work together instead of keeping this sharade on. He deletes packages in such a way he can always file a next request saying 'this package is not a depends of anything and its old production software (as if it were a good reason to hide working software or killing whole stacks because of minor adjustments)'. He just filed yet another request, this time for a package I updated recently, python2-backports.csv. needed to build something he deleted or was deleted from extra and destined to republished on the aur. This is the just the tip of the iceberg of his passive aggressive behaviour.

The Arch COC serve to prevent controversy and bad feelings. So far, sour feelings towards proprietary projects have not produced such.

Re: About the intentionally duplicated package wechat-beta-bwrap and wechat-universal and unmaintained orginal package wechat-uos
Hi all, I've felt that it's necessary to summarize up my thoughts towards this messy WeChat situation on the AUR. Above all, the "wechat-uos-bwrap" is the first package containing the new (and originally leaked on a BBS...) so called "Universal" version on the AUR. And there a clearly evidences showing that other packages such as "wechat-beta-bwrap" and "wechat-universal-bwrap" (sorry for the typo before) are duplicate packages of the original "wechat-uos-bwrap". Thus, according to the AUR submission guidelines[a] such packages should not be submitted to AUR in the first place. If one want to change the package name, they should discuss this in the comments area under the package details in the AURWeb. Secondly, referring to screenshots provided before[b][c] and a link from their official BBS[d], the UOS AppStore operator clearly states that this "Universal" version is an upgrade to the old Electron one. Therefore, like php and postgresql, having the old "legacy" (or LTS) version packaged as a separate package because of the fact that it's still a newer version of WeChat, not something completely new which changed its functionality. It's still a chat client connecting to Tencent's private servers. On top of that, the new WeChat is still exclusive to the UOS operating system, requiring system files from UOS to login correctly. So, maintaining the old wechat-uos. This can be proved by the chat log from #archlinux-cn-appearance[e][f]. One thing to mention is that the original maintainer of "wechat-uos" has become inactive for some amount of time. It is suggested that granting Maintainer ownership to previously active maintainer sukanka, who is willing to maintain this package again. Once this is done, "wechat-uos-legacy" should be made and all other packages should be merged into "wechat-uos", solving this messed up situation. -- Sincerely, Kimiblock [a]: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AUR_submission_guidelines#Rules_of_submission [b]: https://postimg.cc/bDt46brm [c]: https://postimg.cc/1nQbjXFP [d]: https://bbs.chinauos.com/zh/post/17786 [e]: https://matrix.to/#/!UdcRVLCUPlBpwjoUET:nichi.co/$4sVFU9hV2Ex73qHo1JfLcNbKAXQ5TEoal0fQyd7yANg?via=mozilla.org=nichi.co=matrix.org [f]: https://t.me/ArchlinuxCN_Appearance/153590
Re: About the intentionally duplicated package wechat-beta-bwrap and wechat-universal and unmaintained orginal package wechat-uos
Hello Aaron, Thank you for the reply. > How does being unfriendly to a proprietary corporation violate the code of conduct? It's not really a political topic, Tencent and WeChat aren't "someone" so it does not count as a personal insult, and "respect other ... projects" only applies to FOSS stuff. I don't think CoC only requires us to respect FOSS orgs and projects, as stated in the CoC section about respect[e]: > Respect other operating systems and projects > Maligning other FOSS projects or distributions, or any other operating systems and their users is prohibited. > The entire Arch team is happy to volunteer their time and energy to provide you with the Arch Linux distribution, documentation and forums. > Kindly show respect toward the volunteers, users and communities of other projects, distributions and operating systems as well. > Views, experiences and opinions are always welcome, but unproductive slander is not. The FOSS here only limits the scope before the first comma, not after. We should show respect towards other projects, FOSS or not. Otherwise, people can be unproductive and bash around all those non-FOSS companies and projects, and phrasely badly towards Nvidia, Google, Adobe, etc in any Arch-related place, can't they? This is counter-intuitive and counter-productive and would bring a lot trouble and flame into the community, and this is not right. > As a side note, packages that don't build anything and > instead install a > precompiled version should have a -bin suffix. But -bin suffix is only for packages with sources available, according to the AUR submission guidelines[a]: > Packages that use prebuilt deliverables, > when the sources are available, must use the -bin suffix. WeChat is released as binary only. There's no source available for it for general public to build from. As a reference, other popular prebuilt-only packages exist on AUR without the -bin suffix, e.g. typora[b], google-chrome[c], linuxqq[d], etc [a]: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AUR_submission_guidelines#Rules_of_submission [b]: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/typora [c]: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/google-chrome [d]: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/linuxqq [e]: https://terms.archlinux.org/docs/code-of-conduct/#respect-other-operating-systems-and-projects Yours, Guoxin "7Ji" Pu
