[aur-general] smf, sergej read this!
by Callan Barrett 21 Dec '07

21 Dec '07

sergej, will you please hurry up and adopt this package (smf) because I don't want it. It was taken out of community because it was ILLEGAL to package it without explicit permission from the author, which I'm assuming you never obtained. If you did receive permission from the author I want you to put it back into community with that license change in mind, if you didn't receive permission I still want you to adopt it and keep it in unsupported and please keep in mind how important licenses are for packages. -- Callan 'wizzomafizzo' Barrett

[aur-general] Safe Flags In The AUR?
by Callan Barrett 18 Dec '07

18 Dec '07

Can we get an update on that patch? When does it actually get applied to the actual, real, running AUR? I think it's been *months* now and nothing has happened even when a patch was given in the same post as the proposal and the person proposing it _was the same person maintaining the AUR now._ Can we please finally get this applied, the sooner safe flags are dead and buried the better. -- Callan 'wizzomafizzo' Barrett

[aur-general] Packages from extra with no maintainer
by Jordi Cerdan 12 Dec '07

12 Dec '07

Hi, What happens to the packages that are in community with no maintainer? Can someone adopt them or must we wait that the package goes to unsupported? (ex: pygoocanvas) I am new to the list and maybe this question is out of place. If this is the case, please excuse-me... Jordi

Hi TUs, I'll soon be moving xcdroast out of extra and into AUR/Community. Anyone keen on picking this up and maintaining it? If not, it'll head to unsupported. Thanks, Varun

[aur-general] Old version of gnome-system-tools in [unstable]
by Hugo Doria 10 Dec '07

10 Dec '07

Hi, There is a very old version of gnome-system-tools (and system-tools-backends) package in [unstable]. A newer one is already available in [community]. Would it not be better to remove the older one? What would be the procedure to do that? I tried to contact the packager but i got no response so far. Thanks. -- []'s Hugo Doria http://hdoria.archlinux-br.org GNU/Linux user #359340 - http://counter.li.org

Just so everyone knows I'm going to be away from home for a few weeks and won't have any ready access to an Arch machine, I'm still not totally sure how long it'll be but probably until after christmas. I'll try update my packages when I can but anyone feel free to update them yourself if required, I don't mind. Thanks, -- Callan 'wizzomafizzo' Barrett

[aur-general] Sponsoring Timm Preetz for TU
by Bjørn Lindeijer 08 Dec '07

08 Dec '07

Hello everybody! A few days ago, Timm Preetz (known as gummibaerchen on the AUR and forums) let me know that he was interested in becoming a TU to help keeping packages up to date as well as maintaining his current AUR packages to community. He is currently maintaining the following packages in AUR: avant-window-navigator java-gnome java-gnome-docs python-clutter telepathy-haze telepathy-sofiasip I have checked his packages and found some small issues like custom variables and missing categories, and Timm was quick to resolve those. In my opinion he shows that he has not only the skills to be a TU but also the necessary attention to details, so I will sponsor him. This email hereby opens the discussion period of 5 days! His introduction to me: ----------------------- My motivation to become a TU is mostly due to the fact that I get simply annoyed by outdated packages (may it be the 64bit-port or the PKGBUILD in AUR in general). When I first installed Arch Linux I was impressed how up to date the packages were. But now 'digging deeper' (into AUR) I see lots of outdated packages or incomplete PKGBUILDs (licence missing for example). As these are issues that are often discussed I thought it would be good to get the hands on myself. There no point in 'mirroring' and updating PKGBUILDs on my HDD and have no way to give anything of my changes back and therefore indirectly force other people who want recent packages to do the same. So my idea was, that I could become a TU and 'collect orphaned packages' (so I just have to contact the 'actual' maintainer to ask what's up if a package isn't updated for long and don't have to bug one of the other TUs for orphaning packages). There is also a good number of outdated packages in AUR that I would maintain myself. Also this would give me the opportunity to share my 64-bit binary packages if they're needed for community. My main areas that I am currently interested in (and therefore have the most PKGBUILDs of) are docs, bindings and 'composited stuff'. One more to add: For the java-gnome packages for example I also worked together with the upstream maintainer to get the configure script working properly on Arch, and having install-instructions on their website. This is also something I would repeat for other packages whenever needed. Coming to myself, there is not too much to say. I am born in the 9th of February in 1990, male, German, visiting a grammar school and having math and physics as honours. Despite of the distro I am an absolutely GNOME/GTK/GObject-Fan, Python and Java programmer and LaTeX writer. In my (technical) spare time I'm actually mostly working on a 2D racing game using Clutter and improve algorithms we worked out in the CS-class. Timm ----------------- Regards, Bjørn
