[aur-general] orphan request - gringotts + libgringotts
by Dragonlord 09 Feb '08

09 Feb '08

Hi, another request. User ecoffey looks dead to me. These 2 packages have bad source and the homepage is also probably not working. I'd like to update the PKGBUILDs, because libgringotts can be used for osmo - a small personal organizer, which I like :) Thanks D

[aur-general] Resignation from Dev/TU position
by Varun Acharya 08 Feb '08

08 Feb '08

Hi guys, After a lot of thought, I've realised I've reached a point where I don't have the time and energy to contribute to Arch anymore. I'm at a transitional period from an intern to a practicing dentist(2 months to go), and a lot of work needs to be done, all of which requires a good amount of my time. I also will be travelling on business/education a lot this year, and for a good amount of time will not have access to any linux box to do Arch related work. And most importantly, I have to do a huge amount of studying this year to write a couple of board exams in the latter part of the year. I've tried balancing my schedule to get more time with arch in, but it doesn't seem to be working out too well, and I clearly need to focus on my profession. I don't want to see the quality of my packages suffer or my packages being out of date for long periods of time, so I decided that the best thing for me to do would be to step down at this point. The packages I've disowned and which are up for grabs are (luckily not too many): foobillard libbtctl bladeenc dvdbackup handbrake miro showimg smplayer (-rc currently in testing) smplayer-themes d4x deluge firestarter nicotine transmisson wicd gspcav1 I do hope I can set things right in my life and rejoin you guys sometime in (hopefully not too distant) the future. I will of course continue to use Arch all the time :) and try to help out occasionally when x86_64 difflist goes out of control :). Good luck to Aaron and the rest of the dev team, and all the TU's. Its been awesome. Regards, Varun "ganja_guru" Acharya

Hi, can someone orphan the package "tome" in AUR, please. The maintainer has this only package and promised to update it long ago. I'd like to take care about the package. Thanx :) D

[aur-general] jailkit orphan request
by Michal Soltys 06 Feb '08

06 Feb '08

I use it often on my system(s), so I'll happily take care of it. The one currently in AUR is quite old and maintainer hasn't replied to my mail yet.

[aur-general] Asterisk, Asterisk-addons and Zaptel
by Jason Tarbet 05 Feb '08

05 Feb '08

Hi all - This is just a heads up that I have taken over maintenance of the orphaned packages asterisk, asterisk-addons and zaptel. I will check out the other asterisk related packages and see if they are in need of maintaining or if they are no longer in development. I currently have the i686 versions up and will work on x86-64 if there are requests. Thank you, Jason
