Why do i have to confirm my identity to build this via aur

[LethalManBoob]

Remove this "feature" asap. thanks

This repository does not provide any distribution packages, so here is no "feature" to remove. Since you provided no further details (I don't use Arch), I don't know where to direct you with your question.

PS: Please also reconsider your accusative tone in your request, that doesn't really motivates to respond.

Apologies for the tone but i felt sort of like i was being prodded for info.

==> Starting prepare()... Committer identity unknown

*** Please tell me who you are.

Run

git config --global user.email "you@example.com" git config --global user.name "Your Name"

to set your account's default identity. Omit --global to set the identity only in this repository.

fatal: unable to auto-detect email address (got 'joseph@archlinux.(none)') ==> ERROR: A failure occurred in prepare(). Aborting... error: failed to build 'dxvk-nvapi-mingw-0.5.4-1': error: packages failed to build: dxvk-nvapi-mingw-0.5.4-1

As stated, I’m not familiar how the aur packaging on Arch works. That said, this looks like the normal git setup steps are missing, may be you just have to follow ~https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/getting-started-with-git/setting-your-username-in-git~

Edit: this is the better link https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Getting-Started-First-Time-Git-Setup

This is aur packaging issue, I've reported this on package page.
