I'm not going to look up exact numbers right now, but [community] takes up about 11G. This would reduce space usage by about 1G, so that would make about 9% reduction in disk space. The proposal that will currently be tabled will not effect packages currently in [community] though. Cheers.

Yes he's still around. Last I heard he was requesting access to [community] because he was mistakenly removed. I'm not sure what the status of that is now.

My point in a three vote minimum was to prevent blatant exploitation of [community]. There's nothing flawed about it. The repo should be allowed a fair amount of leeway in terms of what is included. This isn't [core] or [extra] after all. At this point I wouldn't agree with anything higher than a five vote minimum.

Hello it comes late, but hopefully not too late: may I ask for a key to #archlinux-tu ? I think I do not have one. Stefan

[aur-general] amarok2 beta packages doubles
by Christian Scharkus 27 Nov '08

27 Nov '08

Hi I just looked for some package containing the latest beta of the amarok music player but there are two packages containing beta3 (amarok2 and amarok-beta3). May the question is childish but: why two packages with the very same content? It just puzzles beginners. Ofcause for archivement are packages like amarok-beta2 and amarok-beta3 useful but only few users use old beta-software and it messes arround in AUR in my eyes. Greetings Raubkopierer

Anyone cares to remember me the #archlinux-tu@freenode key on private mail please, I think I've lost it. Thanks. Ronald

Hi there, I'm the maintainer of neither, but I reckon that these two are duplicate packages: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=19155 http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=20013 Should one be deleted? Thanks! Pete.

[aur-general] Mozilla Firefox doesn't update because of xulrunner
by Martin 23 Nov '08

23 Nov '08

Hello all. If I try to upgrade Mozilla Firefox it doesn't work. :: Starting full system upgrade... resolving dependencies... error: cannot resolve "xulrunner=1.9.0.4", a dependency of "firefox" error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies) :: firefox: requires xulrunner=1.9.0.4 I tried to get xulrunner in AUR but it wasn't there, too. I thought this could be a good hint for you. I want to excuse my english, I'm no native speaker and new to Linux. Greetings, Martin
