by Cedric Staniewski 21 Jun '10

21 Jun '10

Hello everyone, I noticed that there are several duplicates of extra packages in the AUR or at least they share the same name. Perhaps a TU want to clean them up. allegro apr-util aspell-nl asymptote autopano-sift-c bochs darcs davfs2 fixesproto haskell-extensible-exceptions haskell-hashed-storage haskell-haskeline haskell-mmap haskell-terminfo jackbeat kdeutils-kcalc koffice lensfun lha libedit libical liblqr libmp3splt liboil libpst libticonv libytnef libzrtpcpp link-grammar lxsplit mp3wrap neon opencv oxine pal partitionmanager perl-bit-vector perl-carp-clan perl-dbd-sqlite perl-digest-sha1 perl-test-pod perl-timedate qtscriptgenerator rdesktop taglib-extras truecrypt tsocks watchdog words xf86-video-geode Regards, Cedric

[aur-general] Status of the Chromium/Chrome packages on AUR
by Panos 09 Dec '09

09 Dec '09

Hello to everyone! I had recently created a thread on bbs.archlinux.org here http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=79410 in order to discuss the situration for the numerous chromium packages on AUR. As I can see, they are getting more and more. I would like to make the discussion on mailing list so that more people would participate. The list: 1 aur/chromium-browser 4.0.204.0~svn20090831r24879-1 (369) 2 aur/chromium-browser-4.0.219.3 4.0.219.3~svn20090925r27181-1 (0) 3 aur/chromium-browser-dev r26808-1 (107) 4 aur/chromium-browser-inspector r26919-1 (22) 5 aur/chromium-browser-l10n 4.0.219.0~svn20090924r27064-1 (6) 6 aur/chromium-browser-svn `svn info /chromium/src/ | grep (8) 7 aur/chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-nonfree r26428-1 (39) 8 aur/chromium-continuous -latest (46) 9 aur/chromium-fresh -latest (25) 10 aur/chromium-snapshot 27035-1 [27188-1] (439) 11 aur/chromium-snapshot-64 27164-5 (110) 12 aur/chromium-snapshot-64-last -6 (40) 13 aur/chromium-snapshot-latest -3 (4) 14 aur/cxchromium 0.9.0-3 (153) 15 aur/iron 3.0.197.0-6 (61) Except for 15 and 6 which provide a different package, and 14 which is very old, all the others are differently packaged chromium from svn. Chromium in these packages comes from two sources: 1)build.chromium.org 2)a deb from ppa.launchpad So I make the same question: do we really need all these packages ? Shouldn't they be less and provide, from fewer PKGBUILDs, the different pre-packaged chromium browser ? Because they are mostly repackaging an already packaged chromium browser, except for (6). We have two chromium-browser that use a deb package --> shouldn't it be one ? We have chromium-browser-dev --> it is the same as 1 and 2, but it can repackage debs for both architectures. 5 is a l10n package, it is only for the repackaged debs. We have 4 chromium-snapshot PKGBUILDs (they provide the one from build.chromium.org ). Shouldn't there be only one, which will create a 32 or 64 package from one PKGBUILD ? Just like chromium-browser-dev (which repackages the deb one) and automatically ? As you can see, it is clearly a bit of a chaos here.

Hi TU, Since the community repo has been moved to the main web site, you are no longer receiving out-of-date notifications as they are being listed as orphans. We are currently working on finishing the setup, accounts, etc. Meanwhile, here's a list of recently flagged packages (there might be core/extra packages as I didn't bothered filtering the list): [acetoneiso2] [fceux] [listen] [qemu] [aircrack-ng] [gnote] [netbeans] [rubyripper] [pinentry] [virtualbox-additions] [virtualbox-modules] [virtualbox-ose] [virtualbox-ose-additions] [virtualbox-ose-additions-modules] [awesome] [imagemagick] [xtrans] [rtorrent] [libtorrent] [kvpnc] [nilfs] [nilfs-utils] [openttd] [vnstat] [efreet-svn] [eina-svn] [ecore-svn] [embryo-svn] [edje-svn] [e_dbus-svn] [e-svn] [python-sphinx] [libotf] [monit] Eric

Hi TUs, I want to see who is working and who is not. These TUs are flagged as active but they did nothing in the last 4-6 months. What do you think about? Should we start with removal vote?

Please remove the "fusecompress"[1] package. Archives with sources are no longer stored on the server permanently, so now this package is useless. [1] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?I.fiD=15283<http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=15283>

[aur-general] Drop LLVM from [community]
by Ranguvar 31 Oct '09

31 Oct '09

Hello, The package 'llvm' is an orphaned [communuity] package. I'd like to request that it me moved to the AUR so I can maintain it (I have an update and overhaul ready) and I can also create a 'clang' package for it. (split package for llvm AND clang) Then it can be adopted by a TU if they want to bring it back into [community]. Thanks :)
