Thanks. But AUR has now its own Git repository so I'll shut this rpeo down.

Can you provide information where can I make a patches for it? I saw "deprecated", but on https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/govpn/ page I see "Comment by wzyboy: PKGBUILD is maintained here: https://github.com/wzyboy/PKGBUILDs/blob/master/govpn/PKGBUILD". Should I use https://aur.archlinux.org/govpn.git repository and send patches from it directly to you?

It's a long story. In the past, AUR used tarball as the format of source code (of building scripts). So I used GitHub to maintain PKGBUILDs of AUR packages maintained by me.

In August 2015, AUR switched to a new package management system, which is git-based itself. So there is no need to use third-party git repository any longer. That's when I deprecated this GitHub repository and switched to native AUR git repo.

Unfortunately, there is no way (for now) for the software author to send GitHub-style "pull requests" to the package maintainer in this new version of AUR.

I subscribed to release feeds of software I maintain in my RSS reader, so I will update the PKGBUILDs as soon as I have free time. If you would like to tip me off, you are always welcome to send me an old-style email patch with git-format-patch(1). 😃

Thank you!

Ah, I see. I like sending emails more than pull requests :-). I will send you patches.
