[aur-general] Resignation
by Bjørn Lindeijer 24 Jul '08

24 Jul '08

Dear all, Even since I got a full time job back in September 2007, my time for TU duties has been limited. A few months ago I switched to a different DSL provider (since the previous one couldn't get their act together), and they gave me a PPPoE modem instead of a router, which I couldn't get to dial in on Arch Linux, which basically forced me to switch to something else, Ubuntu in this case (pppoeconf had it done in seconds). From then on it just went downhill. I kept updating and sometimes rebuilding packages on an Arch Linux installed on VirtualBox at work. However on each Ubuntu kernel upgrade it broke down and recently it seems to have done its last breath since it no longer boots after Arch Linux ran out of harddrive space while upgrading the kernel. I decided this is where it ends. I've really enjoyed Arch Linux while it last, and I think it really rocks for those who want to be always up to date and also easily package their own stuff, allowing for a convenient and complete management of all system files. However, frequent breaks and security problems (no doubt mostly my own fault) had already made me prefer other distributions on my laptop and server. I'll post my list of packages in a separate email. Thanks for several enjoyable years! Regards, Bjørn Lindeijer

[aur-general] Semi-inactivity
by bardo 23 Jul '08

23 Jul '08

Hi all! Two days ago I had my last exam for the semester and promptly got on a train for a deserved (?) vacation. I have some connectivity to check how things are going and if there are any problems with my packages (in fact I'm planning to update everything I left behind because of these exams) but you never know. So if any TU or dev feels the need to tinker with my things, then just do it. Well, if you can wait a bit just drop an e-mail =) I'll be back on July, 1st. Have a great time while you impatiently wait for me ;-) Corrado

[aur-general] IRC shenanigans
by Aaron Griffin 22 Jul '08

22 Jul '08

Hey guys, I'm updating and fixing some things on IRC today, so I'm looking for a list of IRC usernames for those of you who need new cloaks. New developers, new TUs, things like that. Also, (sadly) I will be removing cloaks for people who have left our noble ranks. Please let me know when you can. Thanks, Aaron

[aur-general] inactivity notice (vacation)
by Ronald van Haren 19 Jul '08

19 Jul '08

Hi devs/Tus, I'll be on vacation from 9th of August (tomorrow) until 29th of August. During this time I will probably not check my mail at regular intervals so don't expect quick respones from my side ;) Of course, feel free to update any of my packages if needed, or fix any new opened bugs. At the dev side I didn't adopt a lot of packages just yet for above reason so I suspect things to be quiet. On the TU side of things, I don't expect any major issues with any of my packages. Just keep an eye on bug reports that require just a simple rebuild. Btw I have already voted in the current running thread so you can count me in. See you on the other side! Regards, Ronald

[aur-general] Integrity Check i686
by Allan McRae 18 Jul '08

18 Jul '08

Hi TUs, I have run the repo integrity check script and filtered out the results for the community repo. Please have a look through the list and check if any of your packages are involved. One thing to notice is the missing PKGBUILDs are from packages that were removed from the repos. It appears that untagging the PKGBUILD removes the package from community repo but is not enough to remove the package from abs these days. I will look into fixing that... Allan Missing PKGBUILDs ------------------- /community/kde/kplayer/PKGBUILD (fixed) /community/system/mc-utf8/PKGBUILD (fixed) /community/system/endeavour/PKGBUILD (fixed) Duplicate PKGBUILDs --------------------- /community/lib/libotr/PKGBUILD vs. /extra/libotr/PKGBUILD (fixed) Missing Dependencies ---------------------- medit --> 'gcc-objc' flumotion --> 'gstreamer0.10-libpng' flumotion --> 'gstreamer0.10-vorbis' flumotion --> 'gstreamer0.10-theora' flumotion --> 'gstreamer0.10-ogg' flumotion --> 'twisted-web' jokosher --> 'gstreamer0.10-gnomevfs' gnustep-gui --> 'gcc-objc' kungfu --> 'gstreamer0.10-dvdread' kungfu --> 'gstreamer0.10-mpeg2dec' kungfu --> 'gstreamer0.10-libpng' kungfu --> 'gstreamer0.10-theora' exaile --> 'gstreamer0.10-gnomevfs' exaile --> 'gstreamer0.10-gconf' gnustep-base --> 'gcc-objc' qtemu --> 'qt4' gnustep-back --> 'gcc-objc' Missing Makedepends --------------------- pandoc --> 'haskell-mtl' pygoocanvas --> 'pygobject-doc' gensplash --> 'klibc-beyond' Unmet Dependency Provisions ----------------------------- fldigi-docs --> 'fldigi=2.10' eclipse-ve --> 'eclipse<3.3' Invalid Archs --------------- luasql-mysql --> ppc coxpcall --> ppc copas --> ppc premake --> ppc
