Hello, I had a look at Angel's list and that is what I found: dvd-slideshow 0.8.0-4 taken by me :) eclipse-mylyn 3.0.0-1 is already outdated (3.0.2 is out), two votes, can be moved to unsupported if noone wants it gambas 1.0.19-1 there also is release 2.8.2, which is stable. Why this one? glib2-docs 2.18.0-1 taken by sergej gtk2+extra 2.1.1-1 dependency for gpsim, maybe the maintainer wants to take it kdvdauthorwizard 1.4.6-4 ? ktechlab 0.3.6-1 depends on gpsim openlh-server 0.1-4 openlh-client is maintained opensips 1.4.2-4 taken by sergej qmc2 0.2.b4-1 ? qstardict 0.12.9-2 taken by sergej sarg 2.2.3.1-1 taken by sergej scilab 4.1.2-4 taken by sergej sofia-sip 1.12.7-1 taken by sergej telepathy-glib 0.7.10-1 ? wqy-bitmapfont 0.9.9-4 Is there any chinese-speaking TU around? wqy-zenhei 0.6.26-1 Is there any chinese-speaking TU around? xgl 0.0.1.20080407-1 does not build for me IMHO the wqy fonts should be preferably maintained by someone who at least has some basic knowledge of chinese language. If there is no TU, they should be moved to unsupported. Regards Stefan

[aur-general] AUR CleanUp Day v2
by Ángel Velásquez 07 Oct '08

07 Oct '08

Hi all, This idea was originally sent in this thread: http://archlinux.org/pipermail/aur-general/2008-May/007539.html At the end, we didn't decide a final day, but the work was done, so I propose another CleanUp Day following the model that we used the last time. http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR_CleanUp_Day --> here you can obtain information and put suggestion, ideas, etc. What do you recommend to maintain a more efficient thread?, a post on the forum ? and what do you suggest for the Day that we will do the clean.?. Opinions are open!. -- Angel Velásquez angvp @ irc.freenode.net Arch Linux Trusted User (TU) http://www.angvp.com

[aur-general] Orphans in community part II
by Ángel Velásquez 07 Oct '08

07 Oct '08

Hi fellas, there is a new list of packages which are orphans, many of them, could be dependences of other packages which are adopted, if this is the case, please TUs adopt all dependencies of their packages. The following list are the packages which i am talking about: dvd-slideshow 0.8.0-4 eclipse-mylyn 3.0.0-1 gambas 1.0.19-1 glib2-docs 2.18.0-1 gtk2+extra 2.1.1-1 kdvdauthorwizard 1.4.6-4 ktechlab 0.3.6-1 openlh-server 0.1-4 opensips 1.4.2-4 qmc2 0.2.b4-1 qstardict 0.12.9-2 sarg 2.2.3.1-1 scilab 4.1.2-4 sofia-sip 1.12.7-1 telepathy-glib 0.7.10-1 wqy-bitmapfont 0.9.9-4 wqy-zenhei 0.6.26-1 xgl 0.0.1.20080407-1 Many were maintained by DaNiMoTh, since his resign we adopt many of his packages, but the rest still orphans, please new TUs adopt some of them if you consider able to maintain it, else I want to propose an date for move these packages to unsupported. 21/10/2008 (two weeks) sounds good to me. Opinions are open. -- Angel Velásquez angvp @ irc.freenode.net Arch Linux Trusted User (TU) http://www.angvp.com

[aur-general] Apology
by Robert Emil Berge 06 Oct '08

06 Oct '08

Hello everybody, I write this to apologise for my sudden disappearance several months ago. There's really no excuse for a TU to do such a thing, and I wish I had been able to tell you before I went away. This is not an excuse, just me saying I'm sorry, and that you'll probably see me around a bit again. A short explanation. Don't read on if you're not interested :) My work and studies, which aren't computer related, was very demanding for a while, and I used my Linux hobby to run away and not get anything done. So, when my email configuration got destroyed, I used that as a chance to force myself to concentrate on my work. I just didn't re-configure and actually cut myself off from the internet for a few months. Things are much calmer now, and I appreciate using and experimenting with Arch Linux very much, so I have decided to re-connect. Robert Emil Berge (filoktetes)

[aur-general] eclipse-qt4
by Shaika-Dzari Shaika-Dzari 06 Oct '08

06 Oct '08

Hello everyone! I maintain eclipse-qt4 in Aur. Currently the package is in error and I am unable to update it because my Arch box died yesterday (Grrr....). This package has 37 votes and some users depends on it. I would like to know: 1- Is it possible to some TU to update this package and put it in community? I think it could be a great addition. 2- If no TU is available, could a user update my package and orphan it after that? I will take it again when my new computer will be build. Thank everyone, Regard. -- Shaika-Dzari http://www.4nakama.net

by Petteri Tolonen 06 Oct '08

Hi, I made a pkgbuild for GNU freedink and submitted it in AUR, but shortly after that the developer changed it's naming so that it has now been replaced with freedink-engine. Could you please remove 'freedink' from AUR? -- Petteri Tolonen
