Also there has been some discussion on it a little but in the aurweb development irc channel. Perhaps if there is more to report relating this issue, perhaps some comments should be added to the task I opened (I never mentioned possible time-outs caused by this).

Re: [aur-general] [RFC] Limit the height of AUR comments

that comments are in their own scrollable box if they're too long, it would be a change I'd be for. We've had this problem a few times and usually comments get deleted or a TU copies and pastes the original comment to pastebin (or similar) and modifies the comment to simply link to it.

Re: [aur-general] aurweb 4.2.0 released

I also just want to mention that there's also a feature that allows anyone to see the reason a pkgbase is out-of-date. The red text that states a pkgbase is out-of-date is now a link that takes you to the reason for the flag and who flagged it. Mark Weiman

Re: [aur-general] Should TUs tolarate inapropiate behavior in the AUR?

it, I say they should be able to without moderation. "AUR packages are user produced content. Any use of the provided files is at your own risk." This is an important statement to consider when using the AUR. If you see a package that violates the packaging standards, file it for deletion and allow a TU to take care of it since that's what they're here for. Mark Weiman

[aur-general] Question About firefox-gtk2-bin

the packaging standards on whether this is something that is acceptable, but I cannot find anything regarding this. I suspect the package firefox-gtk2-bin exists because firefox-gtk2 takes a while to build. My question is if whether packages of this nature are okay for the AUR or if it's not. Mark Weiman

Re: [aur-general] About package description (pkgdesc) size

suggestion, make a brief description like "Scanner driver for EPSON printers" and put the list in a comment and soon when aurweb 4.2.0 is released, there will be a comment pinning system that you can use to pin that comment to the top. This way, you can still list them, but keep the description brief. Mark Weiman signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Re: [aur-general] Yahoo mail problems (was No notification for out-of-date package)

ver wouldn't accept mail (postfix on Arch Linux) from luna.archlinux.org and I had to put it in a whitelist for it to accept mail from that host. Perhaps it's something similar on Yahoo's end? Just a thought. I don't quite remember the messages postfix was spitting out, so I'm unable to be any help

Re: [aur-general] Metadata from aur3

aur4 during that time, there was not much interest in it. If my memory isn't failing me, it was two months total, the first was only maintainers from aur3, and the second was anyone who wanted to move some over. Mark Weiman signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Re: [aur-general] [aur-dev] [PRQ#4382] Deletion Request for b43-firmware

firm believer of reading documentation and the Arch Wiki has a spot on the Arch User Repository page that explains how to file requests [1] and how to grab the PKGBUILDs then how to install them [2].  If the link is changed, I think Jiachen Yang has a better solution. Mark Weiman [1] https://

tation available. Also what does the gun laws in the United States have to do with any part of this?  Usually the people who use those guns are familiar with how to use one. This is a case where ignorance is causing an issue and I only think it is a trivial problem (or lack of). Mark Weiman

Re: [aur-general] [aur-dev] [PRQ#4382] Deletion Request for b43-firmware

The word file is a fine word to use and is used correctly. As a verb, file means to make application (to file a complaint; to file for a job; to file a request).  Since this follows a definition of the word, I see no reason to have it need to be changed. Mark Weiman On Fri, 2015-11-20 at 17:26
