[aur-general] phpPgAdmin out-of-date
by Simon Streit 09 Aug '08

09 Aug '08

Hi, I'd like to point out, that the phpPgAdmin package in AUR is out of date. Furthurmore, $instdir in the PKGBUILD [1] doesn't point to the default directories of some web servers anymore. This is because Apache and lighttpd nowadays use the directory '/srv/http' as default, whereas the installation renders a bit useless. So here comes the fixed update: pkgname=phppgadmin pkgver=4.2.1 pkgrel=1 pkgdesc="A web-based administration tool for PostgreSQL. It is perfect for PostgreSQL DBAs, newbies and hosting services." arch=('i686' 'x86_64') url="http://sourceforge.net/projects/phppgadmin" license=('GPL') depends=('php' 'postgresql') backup=('home/httpd/html/phpPgAdmin/conf/config.inc.php') source=(http://downloads.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/$pkgname/phpPgAdmin-$p… md5sums=('d4cc67bea9a449ac0585bb4e8b2fc7e7') build() { instdir=$startdir/pkg/srv/http/phppgadmin mkdir -p $instdir cd $instdir cp -ra $startdir/src/phpPgAdmin-$pkgver/* . cp ./conf/config.inc.php-dist ./conf/config.inc.php } Regards, Simon [1] http://repos.archlinux.org/viewvc.cgi/community/system/phppgadmin/PKGBUILD?…

Howdy guys, I maintain (more or less) the newlisp package in the aur. it has a grand total of 5 votes. How can I cause it to become wildly popular and subsequently be included in the community repo? --

[aur-general] TU Resignation
by Sebastian 09 Aug '08

09 Aug '08

Hi, With the heavy university load I will have this semester, I don't think I'll manage to keep up with the mailing list and updating packages. I have mostly stopped using Linux altogether, and the install that I do have is a bit of a mess, so maintaining packages has become more of a nuisance than something I enjoy. I wanted to become a TU mainly to learn the workflow of a TU and generally just find out how the AUR works from the perspective of a TU, in order to develop AUR2. I think I have mostly done that, but AUR2 development has ceased. Hopefully I (or someone else ;) ) will pick it up and finish it off. I just don't have the time right now. Luckily I don't have many packages in community. I didn't really get around to moving the ones I wanted from unsupported to community. The ones that are there are free for the taking, if anyone wants them. If not, I can move them to unsupported and try to keep maintaining them, or orphan them. I will try to maintain the ones in unsupported, they don't get updates very frequently (or at all). The packages in community are: dbhub dina-font offlineimap

Fact is, I don't think I ever orphaned these packages... Thanks to you both for your help :-) -- Follow The White Rabyte . . .

[aur-general] galaxium package ownership
by rabyte 08 Aug '08

There's some strange issue with the galaxium package actually maintained by myself (previously). I mainted it until last week or so and can't remember having orphaned it. Then I found it to be "taken over" by somebody else, namely ekerazha. I mailed him asking what happened, no response. So I really don't know what happened, but I'd be grateful if I got it back :-) -- Follow The White Rabyte . . .

[aur-general] GID reservation request for vlock
by bardo 04 Aug '08

04 Aug '08

Since the last few versions vlock requires a 'vlock' group, or another group that it is configured to use at build time. Vlock is a security program, so it would be better for it to have its own group, but I could also use an existing one, if someone can share a suggestion. Corrado

[aur-general] TU Application.
by Daenyth Blank 04 Aug '08

04 Aug '08

Hey all! I'm applying for a TU position, hopefully you'll consider me. My sponsor is Anders Bergh (anders). I go by the name Daenyth, and I've been using Linux for several years. I started on Slackware and switched to Arch about a year and a half ago. I'm 20, and I work as a sysadmin/tech support/office monkey at an ESL school in Boston. During my free time, I love listening to tons of music, chilling on IRC, and playing video games, among other things. I especially love playing around with pretty much anything Linux related. Right now I only maintain a handful of packages in the AUR[1], but I plan to expand what I have. One of my goals is to package lots of new software for Arch. I want Arch to be _the_ distro people talk about for package selection. I love the way Arch is designed, and the KISS philosophy, and I want to give back to the community that's been so wonderful to me. Currently my most popular package is "pkgtools". It's a bundle of things that I've written relating to arch packages. After collaborating with another author, I'll be including spec2arch, which is a tool aimed at helping developers provide basic PKGBUILD files from rpm .spec files. I also maintain a few Perl related packages, and hope to increase their number. I am one of the co-maintainers for the arch-games project[2]. For those who don't know, it's a user repo to provide binary packages for all the games in AUR, so that our users can more easily install them (many have long compile times or are otherwise annoying). Thanks for your consideration, --Daenyth [1] - http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?K=daenyth&SeB=m [2] - http://arch-games.twilightlair.net/wiki/index.php/Main_Page
