This is something originally done by upstream in the Cmake build instructions file [1] since this is how upstream decided to handle the possibility to run both the `clipboard` and `cb` command. Obviously, it results as a permission issue when built with `makepkg` (since it tries to modify something outside of the `pkgdir`) preventing me to deal with that directly in the PKGBUILD as well. So to stay as close as possible to the upstream packaging method I deported that symlink instruction to a post install script. I imagine there's certainly a more elegant way to deal with this symlink, I'll look into it. >> - More recently, I've been working with Rudra Saraswat (the Ubuntu >> Unity project lead) to help him properly packaging the Unity desktop >> environment for Arch (this is still a WIP) [5]. > Nice, I looked over the original packaging and was disappointed in the > package quality. Hopefully it will shape up nicely in the future. Yeah, I left a comment on the AUR web page of the initial Unity package (which has been deleted since then) to point out what could/should be improved regarding the packaging guidelines/best-practices and eventually offer my help to Rudra to properly package Unity for Arch; and this is how we started to work together on this. For the moment, all of the Unity packages has been moved to a dedicated pacman repo [2]. As I said, this is still a WIP I'm looking forward to continue on with Rudra. Hopefully it will shape up nicely in the future, indeed :) >> As a TU, I'm looking forward to help with the AUR moderation (reviewing >> PKGBUILDs, answering AUR related questions and handling AUR requests). >> >> I'd also be interested in moving the following AUR packages to Community: >> >> [snip] >> >> - protonmail-bridge > Is this covered under the "protonmail" trademark?

It is indeed copyrighted under the "Proton AG" trademark, but the protonmail-bridge app itself is distributed (and allowed to be redistributed/modified) under the GPL3 license [3] so I'd say we should be allowed to redistribute it with the name "protonmail"? I didn't thought about that (yet) to be honest but I'll search deeper into it if I ever have the chance to move it to community. >> - unrar-free (which I currently maintain) > I had similar concerns with `unrar`, but it seems like Fedora and Ubuntu is > packaging this.

Indeed, my bad. Here's a stripped-down list of packages that only have one maintainer currently: - glow - xautolock - hq - hexchat - zathura suite (zathura, zathura-cb, zathura-djvu, zathura-pdf-mupdf, zathura-pdf-poppler, zathura-ps) - icewm - firewalld - picom - notification-daemon - blueman - redshift - gsimplecal - tint2 - feh I haven't found any packages I personally use or would want to maintain in the community/extra's orphaned packages at first glance to be honest, but I could still adopt some if needed. As I said, my primary goal with this application is to contribute/help further :) [1] https://github.com/Slackadays/Clipboard/blob/ab064974c931f49d84caa7d512178f4b2ec126db/CMakeLists.txt#L114 [2] https://unity.ruds.io/arch-unity/ [3] https://github.com/ProtonMail/proton-bridge/blob/master/COPYING_NOTES.md Regards, Antiz (Robin C.)
