[aur-general] xorg packages
by Xavier 03 Oct '09

03 Oct '09

These packages are all called -git, but wrongly. They are actually just duplicate of extra packages... http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=18966 http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=29446 http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=28891 http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=28907 Actually, I would not recommend using any of these packages because of their poor quality : http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?K=SpeedVin&SeB=m

[aur-general] The State Of XMonad
by jelle van der waa 03 Oct '09

03 Oct '09

The Last XMonad upgrade a few moths ago had some problems , GHC (haskell compiler ) was released before XMonad was rebuild against the new compiler causing it to potentially break. Can't the XMonad pkgbuild be changed so it sticks with the GHC version it has been build against , that would cause less trouble. Also a new XMonad release , means much haskell-x11-* , xmonad-contrib , xmobar need to be rebuild and pulled together else ghc will complain. Related to my question about XMonad are some issue's (features) on the bugtracker, wich could be added to xmonad-contrib ( xmonad-contrib-darcs from AUR already has this extra dependency's). http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/16339 http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/14146 Still many thanks for having XMonad in community, if you need some help rebuilding packages mail me ;) Jelle van der Waa

[aur-general] (Spam) It's Xyne's fault
by Dusty Phillips 01 Oct '09

01 Oct '09

Apparently Xyne is having trouble with e-mail messages sent to aur-general from the archlinux.ca domain. I've been instructed to subscribe with my own archlinux.ca domain and post a message to see if they were getting through. So I have done that. If you are offended by this message, please blame Xyne. Also, to turn this into real spam, we have some neat new goodies at: http://zazzle.com/archlinux* and http://schwag.archlinux.ca/ Dusty

Couldn't all the users or TUs interested in AUR cleanup check that page, come up with a good list of packages to be cleaned up, clean it, and then kill the page if it's not worth it ?

[aur-general] Proposition: google-chrome-svn
by Randy Penguin 01 Oct '09

Now that we're starting to get the chromium proliferation under control we can't leave out chrome :p How about a package based on something like this: http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/962879/chromium-svn.tar.gz but pulled from the Official Chrome Branch at: http://src.chromium.org/svn/branches/chrome_official_branch/src
