Re: Binary AUR packages when associated packages exist in the repos

I would like to reopen the discussion to delete a package (yuzu-mainline-bin) that exists in [community] (yuzu). […] The community/yuzu package is built from sources, while the yuzu-mainline-bin PKGBUILD offered in AUR is wrapping the official upstream build. To me this falls under the “e

Why aren't pull requests made directly on gitlab/somewhere on the site, but instead are sent over email. There is no policies in this case. You are doing nothing wrong. As for “why”, the reasons will vary between maintainers and they’re the only ones to answer this question. But one point t

Re: Is including GPG keys in an AUR package for verifying sources a good idea?

2024-02-10 Thread mpan
Hello, Good reasoning and decision regarding not removing signatures checking. As for attaching keys, my opinion on that is: you may. My thinking here is as follows. Signatures establish a secure channel between the software authors and the builder/user. If one puts complete trust in a

Hi, community/wings3d is orphaned and the current package (2.2.5-4) is no longer working due to errors at startup. Dropping to AUR would at least allow posting a comment that bumping PKGBUILD to 2.2.7 (the current development version) fixes the issue. Tested by two users. (Only additio
