Re: [aur-general] TU application from graysky - voting period
I have tried to stay out of this in that I am not a TU and my input carries no official weight. I am, however, a moderator on the forums and a professional with significant experience in the field of trust, so I hope you give me some creed. I find your argument to have no basis in fact and to be borderline libel. I have, throughout my career, had positions of trust with my government backed by sundry clearances. At present, I am in the credit card processing business, which has its only level of trust. I have watched Graysky for months. I have been an practicing engineer for more than 25 years, and have no reason to question his ability; If you do, so be it. His technical ability notwithstanding, I find your calling his trustworthiness in to question to be inappropriate and suspect it to be a red herring. I assert you should provide evidence for your lack of trust in him, or you should apologize publicly..

Trusting someone with the ability to push binary packages out to every Arch user seems like something that should have a pretty high bar. It's not just trust that they won't do anything malicious, it's trust that they'll look after their key and won't allow a situation where someone else would have access. They need to be able to work with the rest of the team and take responsibility for any mistakes they make.

Re: [aur-general] AUR Copyright
Well, I was reluctant to start this -- As I stated, I tend to tune out long philosophical license debates. I am pleased in reading this thread that we are all in violent agreement. Arch is good -- Sharing is good -- Protecting our community is good -- giving credit where credit is due is good. I am in favor of any mechanism that supports these. I am pleased with the rational, professional attitudes all the way around. Kudos to all...
Re: [aur-general] Moving packages to Community
I have contributed a few PKGBUILDs to AUR. I do it because I enjoy it -- all I ask is for is recognition. Yes, this is an open source project and it is implicit that the work can and (hopefully) be adopted and improved. But recognition of each person who contributed should be maintained. I am not a lawyer and I generally tune out all license flame wars. That said, PKGBUILDS generally do not contain copyright or license declarations. Unless I am mistaken, that means someone who comes into possession of a PKGBUILD does not have the right to republish it. As a minimum, I think Arch should get a nod from the creator of a PKGBUILD prior to absorbing it into the colective -- It might help avoid any misunderstandings. Oh, and I would be honored to have one of my PKGBUILDs graduate to a more general release. Eric Waller
Re: [aur-general] Orphan (adoption) request for x48 and delete request for x48-emulator
No problem. You definitely started first and went well beyond what I did. Thanks. I'm curious -- do you know if I can capture and use the 50g ROM? If you know, could you send me a PM?

Had done this one already a month ago but was up to now still waiting for a possible maintainer-reply. Note that I had crated a patch to the newer of the packages and it is attached as a comment. How does your patch compare to mine? It's fairly different. I saw the posted patch for x48-emulator just after I sent the message to the AUR mailing list but I believe that one only upped the version to 0.6.3 and added x86-64. The old x48-emulator PKGBUILD (and the patched one, then) had a problem with missing dependencies and as described in the message, with a hard-coded non-archlinux compliant /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults directory. I also install the ROMDump program from the sources for those of us that want to grab their own ROMs. I sent an email to the maintainer (clamy) earlier this week and have heard nothing back as yet. Contacted him a month ago as well and also silence. Same for the original x48 maintainer. I was going to adopt it, but if you would like it, that is okay by me. For now, I've adopted it. I'll be fairly busy again with other things the coming period but was planning on at least looking into giving X48 a somewhat less obsolete configuration mechanism than the X defaults stuff (ie, just an /etc/x48.conf or some such). If you do more extensive upstream work than we can always switch maintainership of the package again. I'm normally at least fairly responsive to email... New x48 is up on the AUR! Regards, Rene

[this same message has been hanging in the non-subscriber moderation queue for a few days now] I'm a recent arch user (but longtime linux user) and would like to adopt the x48 package, an emulator for the HP-48 scientific calculator. There are two versions of the package on the AUR, x48 and x48-emulator but both are out of date and unfortunately neither listed maintainer (also CCed) has responded to email. I've created a new PKGBUILD updated to the current 0.6.3 and have also patched x48 itself to have it use the normal archlinux X11 app-defaults directory (/usr/share/X11/app-defaults) instead of a previously hard-coded /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults. The new PKGBUILD furthermore installs the ROMDump program so people can use it to grab the ROM from their own HP-48s. Might also like to do more serious work on the emulator in the future. I suppose the x48-emulator package will have been created only because back then the x48 maintainer also didn't respond -- if I can adopt the x48 package, the x48-emulator package could be deleted I suppose. I'm not a subscriber to the list; if I look through the archives I believe it's not usual to attach src archives but if anyone want to see my version, it's at: http://members.home.nl/rene.herman/arch/x48-0.6.3-1.src.tar.gz I'm rene on the AUR (with only the ufiformat package as of now).
