[aur-general] promoting packages that may benefit official repos
by Ray Rashif 21 Dec '09

21 Dec '09

Hello TUs I would like to bring slv2 [1] and google-gadgets [2] to [community] but as it is now, the latter can be used by extra/kde and the former (which also would bring in lv2 as a dep) by extra/ardour. Either (A) a core packager adopts them (along with deps) or (B) I go ahead and maintain them in [community]. [1] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=14545 [2] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=17378 * slv2 is a library for host apps to make use of the lv2 plug-in standard and specs - http://drobilla.net/software/slv2/ * lv2 is a successor to ladspa and is considered pretty stable as of today - http://lv2plug.in/ * google-gadgets is a standalone widget host from Google - http://code.google.com/p/google-gadgets-for-linux/ * google-gadgets can also integrate into Plasma - http://maketecheasier.com/integrate-google-gadgets-with-plasma-in-kubuntu/2… -- GPG/PGP ID: B42DDCAD

[aur-general] Going to submit my first AUR package dvtm-git
by garfiield 19 Dec '09

19 Dec '09

Hello! Like the subject says, I am going to submit my first AUR package dvtm-git [1]. But before I do that I would like to get some questions answered. Questions: Although dvtm [2] in AUR has the description "Dynamic virtual terminal manager", I have chosen "Tiling window management for the console" as the description of my package. My reason for choosing this description is that _I think_ it is more descriptive than just giving the meaning of the abbreviation "dvtm" (like the dvtm package does). * Should I go with my own description of the package or use the same description as the dvtm package? (Maybe add some information to inform that the source is a Git repository?) * What other improvements should or can I do to the package? Best regards, garfiield PS. Does it build on a x86_64 machine? (I have not tested, but since dvtm [2] does I assume this one also does.) -- [1] http://git.garfiield.net/?p=pkgbuilds.git;a=tree;f=dvtm-git;h=a72a63e314698… http://git.garfiield.net/?p=pkgbuilds.git;a=snapshot;h=a72a63e31469809242c0… git://git.garfiield.net/pkgbuilds.git [2] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=14182

[aur-general] perl-rename and prename
by Ranguvar 19 Dec '09

19 Dec '09

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 Hello, Still a little new to TU work :) There are two packages, 'perl-rename' and 'prename'. Both provide the same software. 'prename' is out-of-date and orphaned, but IMO has a nicer name, and is much more well-known (votes). 'perl-rename' is lesser known, but maintained and up-to-date. I'm thinking I should advise the 'perl-rename' maintainer to take over 'prename' with their PKGBUILD, and then delete 'perl-rename', does anyone not agree? Thanks! -- Ranguvar [Devin Cofer] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.13 (GNU/Linux) iQIcBAEBCgAGBQJLJcGiAAoJEHdXKOHe3MUTej0P/0amLrZP9I7QvPrthgSlfjlc tbWTr3wRzc+tE7nszpemWX8w1mgM2Ln4St3/8RQqXBlhFPX1hQF6gLT1n6bvMr05 U/iupcb8qgBVfy1SXI6uX5luoh7nZxtBv9ZU6ayvdFNymD3pkCPZ+yYQpO7ZQghZ DEugkX1EUBkS0oZTQjyyNZ8HTFXi+8/NI4sbsNmuwb7vvehAPuKpaArIJ+Fz5d+n Ydt47pjmOXPoC2sXqYm5RJRe5H9ZysAf2Byc0gJCSbn4XXmuIMehBIpBl7ggYufU rMZsPlY8n3fxlIlhzeoUC+EK4MhPysXcuYdWlkyn4CCEZSq1ALNQWirZbO0482Fq cmAIEzyOaB/RXDuxCuCLT0MBZ0aEznpCFNM5c9FudPXyk26grnxax+rIbvi1obhU bXBTVfu3UNI0YcPVwusgCdypA/UleHF8idihTcCVuWBEFMR4w3plP/DvL/hOhJZf Dwe4ex/TNSRc1vtXgtEBBVIxjaAC745GjlbiOd+pGg69tai57JL0ZyM2OdVIWWc8 S8cJ8LhDIAwxnlGmknu46KF59h4ZQSxAexJ84JBpQEHuypn2uVNcSEiVI0Nju59v 5kwR6z6PsdxGa+V3wDb2+O6IgT6G9qCtWrN9gog4905StG0xZJlFlAj7nxiGgQVW PkivYghw0vcNirqD7SMG =Ygln -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

[aur-general] Deletion request - django extensions
by Reqamst 19 Dec '09

19 Dec '09

There are two packages refering to "Django Command Extensions"[1] in AUR: "django-extensions"[2] and "django-command-extensions"[3]. I think "django-command-extensions" is more accurate.

by Sven-Hendrik Haase 18 Dec '09

18 Dec '09

Please delete the now obsolete package "kernel26-wow" to cleanup the available kernel26 packages a bit. As you can see from the comments the maintainer agrees this package should be deleted. Package URL: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=17195 -- Sven-Hendrik
