[aur-general] should be esound an optdepends?
by Andrea Scarpino 21 Oct '09

21 Oct '09

>From FS#16502: With GNOME 2.28 arriving, it's time to make esound an optional package, which is currently not the case. Here is the list of the packages which requires esound. I think for all of them that esound should be an optional dependency (except maybe enlightenment?). * bmp * cinelerra-cv * enlightenment * epplet-base * freeciv * gmerlin * gstreamer0.10-good-plugins * kvirc * kvm * libgnome * qemu * vice * xine-lib * xmms What's our decision about this? -- Andrea `bash` Scarpino Arch Linux Developer

[aur-general] nouveau-drm-snapshot

>From my comment in AUR : " But I am not sure this pkgbuild is needed after all. It does exactly the same as the one in extra : http://repos.archlinux.org/viewvc.cgi/nouveau-drm/repos/extra-i686/PKGBUILD… So it violates AUR guidelines :) " The new "web svn" location is : http://repos.archlinux.org/wsvn/packages/nouveau-drm/repos/extra-i686/PKGBU…

[aur-general] Obsoleted, lacking developer wiki parts
by Laszlo Papp 17 Oct '09

17 Oct '09

Hello some obsoleted, laking part of the Developer Wiki! --- http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DeveloperWiki:Adopting_Packages 1. Browse the *community* Trusted User Repository located at http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?L=3 (the link is not available anymore) 3. Retreive the PKGBUILDs for the new packages: CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous@cvs.archlinux.org:/home/cvs-community and perform the testing/verificatoin on the PKGBUILD. Note that there is no need to change the version number unless changes are made to the package, this will minimize needless re-downloading. (CVS to SVN?) --- http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DeveloperWiki:Sigurd_%28TU%29 <- empty presently (gerolde, gudrun is okay.) --- http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DeveloperWiki:NewsletterSteps 1. Get most recent version of the newsletter: git clone ssh:// archlinux.org/srv/projects/git/newsletter.git/ <- I can't clone it. (Can the developers maybe do this action only?) --- Best Regards, Laszlo Papp

[aur-general] Filter packages by voted-status
by Lauri Niskanen 16 Oct '09

16 Oct '09

Hello, Is it possible to only show the packages I have voted for on the AUR web interface? If not could you please add that feature. It would make managing votes much easier. And who doesn't like to have easier control over things. -- Ape <Lauri Niskanen>
