Hello everyone, I noticed that there are several duplicates of extra packages in the AUR or at least they share the same name.

[aur-general] partially inactive
by Ronald van Haren 02 Feb '10

02 Feb '10

Hey guys, Coming Monday I'll get the key of my new apartment where I'll be living together with my girlfriend. That's all fine and such but before I can move our stuff I have to do quite a bit of work in the new apartment. This all means that I'll still be around and try to keep up with package releases (I'll make sure everything is up to date before Monday) during that period, but I won't be able to quickly respond to urgent matters or quickly fix bugs. I'll be checking my e-mail regularly though so I'll be able to ask for help if needed. Sometime I also have to arrange an internet connection there but I hope to have this arranged before I move. I'm not too sure how long this will take but I hope to be living there in ~1 month. Feel free to fix any of my packages during that period if you see necessary. Ronald

[aur-general] Partial Inactivity

Hi, Since I am still moving (now to a new apartment), I have not internet connection there, I am getting it but I don't know when they will install me the connection (people says that if I am lucky it will be a week, but I really don't know) I have internet connection on the job (a decent one) and I could bring my laptop to do some updates or something, but eventually my response time won't be short (1 day or more). So I decided to mark myself as away (or Andrea a.k.a bash will send an e-mail asking for my deletion haha :P) but eventually I hope to handle this situation.

Hello, the voting period for djszapi has ended, and he did not get the majority of votes. He got Yes: 4 No: 9 Abstain: 5 It would be nice if there would be some discussion about the reasons for the failure.

[aur-general] metadata file/database of AUR?
by Dieter Plaetinck 03 Jan '10

03 Jan '10

just wondering. afaik tools such as yaourt, when you search a package, they will search for http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?K=<packagename> and parse the output, right? wouldn't it make sense to have a daily crontab on the aur server that generates a file which contains all packages (maybe along with their description) ? then users can do local searches instead.

[aur-general] Deletion recommendation bashets-rc
by Profjim 30 Dec '09

30 Dec '09

Looking at the PKGBUILDS, the (orphaned) AUR package bashets-rc seems to be an older version of the package bashets, maintained by zhuravlik. I suspect he originally posted it, but I can't see how to email him. Looks to me like it would be appropriate to delete bashets-rc. -- Profjim profjim(a)jimpryor.net
