I would like to add that for some AUR-users, the packages is what they
would have to show for if they were to apply to become a TU.
As far as I know, the AUR history is not recorded in any accessible way.

Not that I wouldn't mind the credit but it was Lukas Fleischer who
implemented the official repo checking code and not me. He is also
hosting the git repository for his branch of the AUR.

Angel,
If AUR is a sucessgul project, it is not because of this kind of
language you use. Be friendly to your fellow Arch friends. I'm sure
that if the other TU would share this language, another project
similar to AUR would pop up elsewhere.
Ok, some of the messages from this thread started to became offtopic.
Here is my 2 cents and consider this being my last message.
We always had an unspoken rule about sending a "thank you" note but we

Hello official and inofficial maintainers and AUR devs.
Following the discussion in aur-general, I think some automation could
solve many issues at once here. Justin Davis' community-blacklist
patch is an approach in about the right direction although in
relation to the discussion concerning t

I'll just add here that I used to use moving packages to [community] as
a TU recruitment ground. If the package I wanted to move to [community]
was obviously well maintained, I usually offered to sponsor the
maintainer to be a TU when I let them know I was going to move their
package. I think
I always send the maintainer a 'thank you' afterwards telling them that I've

ask beforehand when moving a package simply because in my experience

He was so engrossed with moving a package (think about the excitement

Hi, fellow Archers,
I feel a need to express my support to the opinion stated by Greg Imreh and
Thomas Hatch. There is an unique relation between the contributor/maintainer
and
the PKGBUILD. This relation calls for respect. So please TUs/devs act as people
and show it by letting first the cont
It would be technologically helpful if moving a package to Community (or
just deleting it from the AUR) did not consign its AUR comments to the
eternal bit bucket in the sky. At any rate, I often wish I could see
what was on the AUR page just before it was moved.

First of all remove that "my" before packages, that's a problem, some

Hi,
Recently a couple of my packages have been moved to Community but the
process feels a little uneasy to me.
My impression is that AUR is treated as a "second class" source of
packages compared to the official repos. Not surprising, of course, so
many packages have problems. This is also underl

Hi everyone,
I'd like to move the following packages to community:
1) pspshrink [1]
2) ntlmaps [2]
In fact I am writting a wiki page about using ntlmaps through the Arch
Linux Installation for complementing the begginer guide :).
Opinions?
