[arch-general] Whatever happened to speps?
Helloes,
I was wondering, if anyone knows anything regarding the current status of speps. I tried to ping him about some long-outdated packages (supercollider, pd), but haven't gotten a reply in a week.
With supercollider we're currently already at 3.7.2 and with pd at 0.47. The latter will also require some fixes, because unpatched/unmodified it's unusuable in its current state (in a JACK setup).
Not to be annoying, it's just that an outdating of more than 6 months is very unusual (in the case of supercollider) and I'm using them regularely.
I'd be happy to help get the packages back on track.
Best, David
Ping!

There has been no reply to any request. Neither mail or xmpp. What's the procedure here?

Ping!
I tried to contact speps many times in the past year but I was unable to get in touch with him. So some packages bad maintained were orphaned.

That sounds bad. Would be good to get some statement at least...
Who can push updates for pd and supercollider instead then?

Pushed both to community-testing. Please test them as I personally have no interest in them and no idea what they are supposed to do.

I will. Both are systems/languages for electronic music (and more).

Thanks again for doing this, however it is quite unclear, if they will be properly maintained in the future now. :-/
Regarding pd there is a long standing bug on Arch Linux that should be addressed in the PKGBUILD of the package, thus it would be most awesome, if you could change that! More info regarding the bug and its solution(s): https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/45006#comment147620
Regarding supercollider, I have some suggestions for the PKGBUILD: * libsndfile should be part of makedepends https://github.com/supercollider/supercollider/blob/master/README_LINUX.md#b... * changing url to https://supercollider.github.io (the project moved away from sourceforge
In any case, thanks a lot for taking care of the issues and providing me with some useful changes for my supercollider-git package in the AUR!!
Best, David
P.S.: Sorry, I didn't come back to you for testing, got too busy moving my flat around...
CC'ing speps. If he doesn't give signs of life and nobody else adopts the packages in two weeks, I'll drop them to AUR.

He's been almost totally MIA, no commits since March 25th until Dec 10th.

Well, I hope they will be kept in community!
I just added pd-git to the AUR to have a version properly working with jack for now: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pd-git/
Feel free to use its PKGBUILD, if you need it!
