Re: [aur-general] We've got a spam issue in our AUR

2015-07-14 Thread Tai-Lin Chu
I have seen some spam filters that have layers. The first layer is captcha, which blocks most bots. Google recaptcha is very useful in this case. I don't think this will block any human user. In addition, users don't have to enter captcha every time once it determines that a person is not a bot.

use git filter-branch --tree-filter to add .SRCINFO to earlier commits using git filter-branch --tree-filter for any new commit is wrong because it will run on all past trees. A lot of inefficient work is done here. On Tue, May 26, 2015 at 6:27 AM, Marcel Korpel marcel.kor...@gmail.com wrote:

although I still think there would have to be a way to keep from having to duplicate metadata, I had similar discussion before. Putting the whole build script in one file is a very simple and convenient design. If we want to ensure safety and don't want to duplicate meta data, splitting

aur4 at this moment is still inconvenient to use because makepkg is designed for the old aur. Should we update makepkg first? I also hope that the coexist period of new and old aur is short, or there is a way to propagate updates to new aur to old aur so that packagers don't have to update twice.
