OK. Looks nice and thank you, but I still have doubts. What is supposed to be uploaded there? - The same packages as on AUR? Then a whitelist would be just as good and easier to maintain. - So I suppose it's so originally non-free, cleaned packages can be posted? I'd think these could be put on the real AUR just as well so Parabola users need only search in one place. Maybe they would be slightly harder to find because they could not be called e.g. pidgin-git but only pidgin-libre-git. Unless of course real AUR does not want such packages -- in that case PUR would of course have a reason to exist. - A danger I perceive is that PUR will have software that is not available on AUR at all, i.e. not just nonfree/semifree. Then Arch users may want to search PUR. I don't think we should compete with Arch on this. _______________________________________________ Dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.parabola.nu/mailman/listinfo/dev
