[arch-dev-public] dropping luxrender packages
by Lukas Jirkovsky 29 Jul '18

29 Jul '18

Hi, I'd like to drop the luxrays, luxrender and luxblend25 packages from [community]. They have always required continuous attention to keep working which I can no longer provide with sufficient quality and right now the luxrender package is blocking the Python 3.7 rebuild. Moreover, the luxrender project has been abandoned and it was superseded by LuxCoreRender which has an active maintainer in AUR. If nobody steps in, I will remove them tomorrow. Lukas

[arch-dev-public] jack rebuild required
by David Runge 29 Jul '18

29 Jul '18

Hey all, I've now created a realtime-privileges package to support a more general approach to acquiring realtime and rebuilt jack2 against those changes [2], making the aforementioned package an optional dependency for jack2 (while removing the redundant realtime settings). These changes are currently still in [community-testing]. As jack is in [extra], I'm unable to rebuild it with the changes, but I've prepared an update to its PKGBUILD [2]. I would be happy if some developer could rebuild jack with the updated build script and `svn rm jack.install, 40-hpet-permissions.rules, 99-audio.conf` before uploading. The changes have the benefit of outsourcing the settings, making it possible to reuse them in other applications, as previously discussed [3]. Best, David [1] https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-proaudio/2018-July/000163.html [2] https://pkgbuild.com/~dvzrv/extra/jack/PKGBUILD [3] https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-dev-public/2018-February/029172.… -- https://sleepmap.de

Anyway if no one has a serious objection by the end of the week I guess I will add it. :) -- Eli Schwartz Bug Wrangler and Trusted User

[arch-dev-public] proposal to add "aurpublish" to community
by Eli Schwartz 20 Jul '18

20 Jul '18

Hi, so for a while now I've been using a tool I wrote at https://github.com/eli-schwartz/aurpublish -- recently split out from a vendored script in https://github.com/eli-schwartz/pkgbuilds -- to maintain my AUR packages. Some of you will probably have heard about it before. :) I certainly think it's a nifty tool :D and apparently a number of other people do too. It makes things faster and simpler, and especially prevents people from accidentally uploading PKGBUILDs with out of date .SRCINFO which is obviously a huge plus... I would like to add this to [community], but I'm unsure what people think about this; specifically, whether this might come too close to "supporting the AUR via [community] packages". Note that this is *not* an AUR helper and is strictly a tool for package *maintainers* to use during the process of uploading. What do you all think? -- Eli Schwartz Bug Wrangler and Trusted User

[arch-dev-public] FrOSCon Arch Linux DevRoom
by Jelle van der Waa 07 Jul '18

07 Jul '18

Hi all, I've managed to get a room for Arch Linux on the Sunday of FrOSCon. FrOSCon is a conference ran for a weekend at 25th and 26th August in Bonn-Rhein-Sieg. It's a free event thanks to all the sponsors. We are free to plan our own program on Sunday, however it would be great if we could give some talks or a workshop. Since I'm not sure how much of the TU/Dev's can attend, community members are also welcome to mail me with an proposal for a talk! P.S. I'll hope to bring Arch stickers. -- Jelle van der Waa

I've created a todo list for libnfs. I'll post a followup when libnfs and kodi are in staging. I had them rebuild against community/extra but will rebuild with staging to be sure. --Ike
