2015-11-12Shorten Email column to 254 charactersStefan Auditor1-1/+1
Using unique indexes on VARCHAR fields with a character count of more than 255 produces an error in MySQL with InnoDB tables and UTF-8 encoding. Also, as per https://www.rfc-editor.org/errata_search.php?eid=1690, the maximum length for email addresses is limited to 254 characters. Fixes FS#47038.

2015-10-25Support long email addressesLukas Fleischer1-0/+6
According to RFC 3696 (and the associated errata), an email address can be up to 256 characters long. Change the database field and the length limit on all input fields accordingly. Signed-off-by: Lukas Fleischer <lfleischer@archlinux.org>
2015-10-21Track providers in the official repositoriesLukas Fleischer1-0/+11
Maintain a list of virtual provisions of packages from the official binary package repositories. The list can be updated using the aurblup script, e.g. via a cronjob. This allows for adding proper links to package dependencies: If an AUR package depends on a package from the official repositories (or on a name provided by a package from the official repositories), add a link to the corresponding archweb package details page. If an AUR package depends on another AUR package (or on a name provided by another AUR package), add a link to the corresponding aurweb package details page. Otherwise, just display the name and do not add a link at all. Fixes FS#46549. Signed-off-by: Lukas Fleischer <lfleischer@archlinux.org>
