Changing the information of my package

TMalthus · 2013-05-23 23:32:04

Hello,
I have done some reading and looked around in the forums, but I cannot find the way to change the inforormation of my package (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/maggot-git/). I want to change the description, in order to put a better one, and the maintainer field, to put my real name. Do I have to email a trusted user or something like that?

I hope this isn't a noob question,
Thanks in advance.

You edit the PKGBUILD, and re-upload it the same way as you originally uploaded it. The new version will overwrite the current one.

Have you tried reuploading the PKGBUILD with a different description?
Both the PKGBUILD and the profile https://aur.archlinux.org/account/falziots list 'Gonzalo Ciruelos' and the maintainer's real name.

Thank you both. I'll do it. I still see "falziots" as the maintainer name, I think it is because I'm the maintainer, don't know.

Thank you again.

This is your AUR username.
