[aur-general] orphaning commuinty packages
by Pierre Schmitz 18 Apr '09

18 Apr '09

Hi TUs, I would like to orphan some packages in [community]. So just grab them if you like. I think I'll just remove them if nobody is interested. (very low usage) rkhunter pyspf pydns pyclamav php-xdebug logwatch courier-pythonfilter php-fileinfo will be part of PHP 5.3; so I'll keep it till then. -- Pierre Schmitz Clemens-August-Straße 76 53115 Bonn Telefon 0228 9716608 Mobil 0160 95269831 Jabber pierre(a)jabber.archlinux.de WWW http://www.archlinux.de

[aur-general] Packages for adoption
by Alexander Fehr 18 Apr '09

18 Apr '09

Hi, I want to give away some packages from [community] that I'm not longer interested to maintain: bygfoot catfish dvdstyler (wxsvg) kazehakase mget pinot (xapian-core, libtextcat, unrtf) qemulator tracker, tracker-gnome-search-tool If you want any of them, just write a short note and I will orphan them. Also I don't have the time to maintain the vmware PKGBUILDs anymore: vmware-workstation, vmware-workstation-modules vmware-player, vmware-player-modules vmware-server, vmware-server-modules, vmware-server-console If no TU wants them, I will orphan them in a few days.

[aur-general] PKGBUILDs and "floating" source URLs
by Chris Brannon 02 Apr '09

02 Apr '09

Hello! I just adopted the rss2email package from unsupported, and I have a small problem. The URL for the source always points to the latest version of the package. It is http://rss2email.infogami.com/rss2email.py In other words, that URL will refer to a new file as soon as a new version is released. What is the preferred solution? I'm tempted to send a nice note to the author, asking for a static URL. -- Chris

[aur-general] Package disown request for libcdk
by Alexander Rødseth 31 Mar '09

31 Mar '09

Hi, libcdk hasn't been updated for one and a half years. I e-mailed the maintainer almost two weeks ago and has not got any reply. If the package is disowned, I can fix it. I have the PKGBUILD ready. Thanks, Alexander Rødseth

And congrats too :) -- The worst thing one can do is not to try, to be aware of what one wants and not give in to it, to spend years in silent hurt wondering if something could have materialized -- and never knowing. -- David Viscott

[aur-general] Adopting Apache Commons packages
by Marc St-Laurent 30 Mar '09

30 Mar '09

Hello TUs, I'd like to adopt commons-collections ( http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=1216 ) and commons-beanutils ( http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=1215 ), which are currently orphaned packages. However, I think it would be wise to rename them to java-commons-{digester,beanutils}, to bring them in line with the naming scheme already used by a few other Commons packages. Could you please delete the old packages, and I will upload new ones shortly? TIA Marc

[aur-general] Problem with root permission
by Michele Mocciola 29 Mar '09

29 Mar '09

I'm having trouble building PKGBUILD for mpi version of code-aster: during compilation process install script must run mpixec; because of fakeroot, mpiexec believes that is being runt by root and so looks for file /etc/mpd.conf, for its owner, that must be root, and for its permissions that must be 600; problem start when install script tries to open mpd.conf, because of permissions 600 it can't open it and so it closes with error. The only solution I found is to run makepkg as root (e.g. sudo makepkg --asroot). Do you think there are other solution for this problem? MPI implementation I use is mpich2. Thanks in advance.
