So with the attached makepkg, the new filename feature should work in every cases. As before, please report both positive and negative feedbacks :)

I don't understand this. > Good catch, this made me guess the problem without even looking at makepkg. The problem is that I just broke the compatibility with the old DLAGENTS array (pre 3.2.0). The old scheme : 'http::/usr/bin/wget -c -t 3 --waitretry=3' The new one : 'http::/usr/bin/wget -c -t 3 --waitretry=3 -O %o %u' To G_Syme : you need to merge your makepkg.conf.new file to get the new syntax above. After that, it should work perfectly. I am not sure that it is worth supporting the old DLAGENTS array for this new filename feature, but at least makepkg should exit more gracefully and warn about the problem.

[aur-general] Applying for TU-ship
by stefan-husmann＠t-online.de 24 Aug '08

24 Aug '08

Hello, my name is Stefan Husmann, I am 40 years old and live near Hanover in Germany. I am working for a big ITC company as system administrator and in projects. I was encouraged by Ángel Velásquez to apply for TU-status. With this mail I want to do that. At the time I maintain 108 packages in AUR. Not all of them were written my me, but some of them I made after package requests on archlinux.org. Also I am active in the forums at archlinux.org and archlinux.de. I consider myself still being in a learning phase. Two months or so I was not able to do a proper patching of packages, now I am. So packaging is a hobby to me now. I only own a i686 computer, have no experience with the x86_64 architecture. Building packages for both arches seems a lot of work to me, especially if you are bound to a remote machine. So as a TU I would have to concentrate a bit more on really important packages. But on the other hand it is hard for me to see orphaned packages lying around, an often I pick them. :) In the forums i act under my real name, in AUR I have a nick, haawda. I can change that if you mind. I speak german, english and with the help of dictionaries and a lot of time I might decrypt a french text also. Please consider voting for me. Sincerely Stefan

[aur-general] TU Application
by Marcos Piccinini 24 Aug '08

24 Aug '08

Morning gentleman, I would like to post here my TU application. My name is Marcos A G. Piccinini, I`m brazilian, 23 years old and I love Archlinux since somewhere in 2007 (yea.. at first sight). My contribution so far: * 16 pkts - http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?SeB=m&K=nofxx * Started (to be finished) http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ArchTrack * PT-BR Translation - http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Guia_do_Iniciante%28Português_do_Brasil… * Often on freenode`s ##arch-br channel helping my fellow mates. * Made ppl use archlinux. Made my mom use archlinux! (and she loves it, with 128x128px icons on the desktop: internet, write, freecell. Sometimes she wonders about that black command line when the "internets are broken" and she still calls the OS 'computer' but..... =). There was this time too, I`ve hold a gun to a guys head until the installation was complete. Jokes apart, I`m not an expert or guru and that`s not much, but I wish to help, to contribute and learn with this community .... Thank you for your time,

[aur-general] Orphans in community
by Ángel Velásquez 24 Aug '08

Hi, after the resigns of Shinlun and Bjorn, we decided to orphanize all of their packages, any TU can adopt them, else packages that won't be adopted will move it to unsupported. (I think if someone *not-tu* thinks that can maintain many of these packages, should send a TU application then.) This is the list of the orphaned community packages: aconnectgui 0.9.0rc2.1-1 amsynth 1.2.0-2 atari800 2.0.3-1 bitmeter 1.2-1 caps 0.4.2-1 cdck 0.7.0-1 codeine 1.0.1-2 coldfire 0.3.1-2 empathy 0.23.4-1 farsight 0.1.28-1 fluidsynth-dssi 0.9.1-2 gdb-armulator 5.0-2 gnome-art 0.2-2 gnome-splashscreen-manager 0.2-2 gnonlin 0.10.9-1 gstreamer0.10-farsight 0.12.8-1 hexter 0.6.1-2 jamin 0.95.0-5 jdelay 20060513-3 jrtplib 3.7.0-1 jthread 1.2.1-1 kanatest 0.4.4-1 lash 0.5.4-1 libmimic 1.0.4-1 libtelepathy 0.3.3-1 ltris 1.0.12-1 lzma-utils 4.32.6-2 meterbridge 0.9.2-3 mod_ruby 1.2.6-1 pcmanx-gtk2 0.3.7-1 physfs 1.0.1-4 poweriso 1.2-1 python-geotypes 0.7.0-1 python-telepathy 0.15.0-1 qmmp 0.1.6-1 qtm 0.6.3-1 ruby-amazon 0.9.0-3 ruby-atk 0.16.0-1 ruby-event-loop 0.3-1 ruby-gconf2 0.16.0-1 ruby-gdkpixbuf2 0.16.0-1 ruby-gettext 1.90.0-1 ruby-glib2 0.16.0-1 ruby-gnome2 0.16.0-1 ruby-gnomecanvas 0.16.0-1 ruby-gnomeprint 0.16.0-1 ruby-gnomeprintui 0.16.0-1 ruby-gnomevfs 0.16.0-1 ruby-gtk2 0.16.0-1 ruby-gtkhtml2 0.16.0-1 ruby-gtkmozembed 0.16.0-1 ruby-gtksourceview 0.16.0-1 ruby-gtktrayicon 0.1.0-2 ruby-libart 0.16.0-1 ruby-libglade 0.16.0-1 ruby-pango 0.16.0-1 ruby-postgres 0.7.1-5 ruby-rcairo 1.6.1-1 ruby-rsvg 0.16.0-1 ruby-scw 0.4.0-2 ruby-shout 2.1-1 rubygame 2.3.0-1 scw 0.4.7-1 seq24 0.8.7-2 sfarkxtc 1.03-5 sineshaper 0.4.2-3 skyeye 1.2.3-1 sofia-sip 1.12.7-1 softgun 0.16-3 stella 2.5.1-2 tablet-apps 0.3.1-1 tapioca 0.3.9-1 tapioca-xmpp 0.3.9-1 tapiocaui 0.3.9.1-3 telepathy-butterfly 0.3.1-1 telepathy-gabble 0.7.2-1 telepathy-glib 0.7.10-1 telepathy-idle 0.1.2-1 telepathy-inspector 0.5.2-1 telepathy-mission-control 4.67-1 telepathy-salut 0.2.3-1 telepathy-stream-engine 0.5.3-1 tetringo 0.3.1-1 timemachine 0.3.1-2 tk707 0.8-2 vkeybd 0.1.18b-1 waveutils 1.18-2 xsynth-dssi 0.9.0-4 zynaddsubfx 2.2.1-2 -- Angel Velásquez angvp @ irc.freenode.net Arch Linux Trusted User (TU) http://www.angvp.com

If you wish to stop receiving it twice >a day, fix the package(s). I just untagged assaultcube half an hour or so ago but it seems it haven't helped a bit (so we have to retag it again when it is fxed). I found it a bit strange that the repo version is 0.93-2 when the message is about 0.93-1. Anyone any ideas?
