[aur-general] The [community-testing] repository
I think this has been requested and discussed a few times and I talked to several people about it, so I want to outline my ideas here: When moving the community db scripts to the new svn-based scripts, a community-testing repository should be created. With the new scripts, handling this is incredibly easy. And here is why: Rebuild sprees. We have the problem now with readline: libreadline.so.6 is in testing and community packages are built against .so.5. [testing] users cannot use everything from [community] and once we move everything to core and extra, it takes too much time for [community] to catch up. The [community-testing] repository will solve that: While the dev team does rebuilds in [testing], the TUs do the same in [community-testing]. When everything is done, a developer can move the core/extra and community packages simultaneously. This is not only useful for SONAME bumps, but also for kernel updates (there's a few kernel modules in [community]). I suggest this should be set up as soon as [community] is moved to SVN-based scripts, as the upcoming libjpeg rebuilds will break too many packages and we need to rebuild not only the [extra] but also the [community] packages in time. That's how I see it, opinions? signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

You can sign up for an account on the AUR and submit an updated version of the PKGBUILD if no one wants to maintain it. Be careful if you're using yaourt or some other pacman wrapper. Packages from the AUR are not supported by the developers. It's a user/community run repository, so you can take part and contribute too.

The old package was actually uploaded by Andrea Scarpino. I'm still thinking the right name for this package is just "sup" but perhaps I'm mistaken? Sup is certainly not a library or anything.

Hello there. While playing around with aurbuild today, I found that there is a package in AUR called ruby-sup. This is an outdated duplicate of my package "sup".

[aur-general] rsync for AUR
Is it feasible to setup an rsync for AUR packages? Would it increase load on the server a lot? Installing packages from AUR would become simpler, as tools can work on the local cache instead. It'll be also easier to keep backups. -- Abhishek
