If you move a package from unsupported to community, the package gets orphaned.

If you add a package to community, and it was never in unsupported, it still gets orphaned.

The aur front end should reflect who is creating the files in CVS.
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Won't implement
Additional comments about closing:  Community now uses devtools.

Unfortunately, this is a restriction of the architecture of the system. The Python script that notices the new package in [community] doesn't know anything about CVS, nor is there any state left around about who uploaded the binary package. So by the time the backend script integrates the package into community and updates the database, this information is not present.

So this is unlikely to ever get changed, and is a stated behavior of the system, and strictly speaking not a bug. This is exactly the same way the dev system works.

If anyone wants to look at the code and strategize some good ways to actually change this, and implement them, please have a go!

Where is the code located? For the aur front end/'the system'. I haven't found it in my minutes of looking...

Python parses text, right? So couldn't it just read the $Id$ of the file anyways?

This will probably be accomplished via tupkg and tupkgs.
I'll try to look into it.
