[aur-general] UID/GID reservation request for pulseaudio
by bardo 17 Aug '08

17 Aug '08

I hope this is the right ML for asking this... another mail will follow with a similar request for vlock. I'm pulseaudio's maintainer in [community]. This package needs one user (pulse) and three groups (pulse, pulse-access, realtime) to work, but I couldn't find suggested ids for them. I didn't change the values I found when I inherited the package, so at the moment we have id 130 for pulse user and group and 131 for pulse-access. The 'realtime' group was added only recently, replacing the old pulse-rt, which had 132, and doesn't have any assigned gid, which is *bad*. It would be good to officially reserve a few ids for this package (130, 131 and 132, maybe?), also considering this package should someday go to extra... Corrado

[aur-general] new @ aur please help getting things right with package idjc
by das.t 17 Aug '08

hello people, i would like to introduce myself, i am tobias from leipzig, germany and as i love doing radio i love using idjc. after (partially) switching to arch and liking it i compiled it myself, just as i have done for more than a year now on debian. after discovering aur and seeing idjc is unsupported i decided that if i compile each new version myself i might as well help and try to get it updated in aur. unfortunately i am having very little time at the moment, leaving me no time for radio, yet i am trying my best to keep up with new releases. with the last release i had some problems (as mentioned in the forum, it did not build due to some changes in the place some headerfiles of ffmpeg got saved). unfortunately in the german forum i got into the way of a troll which discouraged me a bit for a while. as the latest version even did not work correctly on my own system and i had not enough time to check things out i had to delay working on it. anyway, i just uploaded a new PKGBUILD for the latest release of idjc. to my pleasure it built even without patching or the likes and installs correctly on my system and is working fine. right now i do not have the chance to test idjc on 64 bit, but i am going to install that again soon. i had a broken computer and had to start from scratch on a new machine. i would appreciate any help, i am willing to read manuals, already did read some aur related docs. i might be missing something. i know i am no programmer, i am still learning i just want to do my best and help. if i am missing something, please do tell me. most important: does it build for other people too? i have been broadcasting with radiotux.de from linuxtage chemnitz last linuxtag berlin last year and talking to people there i found that there is a great demand for an application like idjc. i would like to see it in arch and i would like to help others to use it in a simple way. this is my motivation. to give something back for all the great things i am receiving. humble greetings, das.t
