I just went through some orphaned packages of mine and noticed that some of them should be deleted from the AUR. alephone-marathon-evil : replaced by alephone-evil alephone-marathon-red : replaced by alephone-red antargis : project not updated for ages, doesn't build anymore bambi : Previous toy project of mine, not developed any further, outdated URL cleanwad : License doesn't allow repackaging duke3d-hrp, duke3d-hrp-music, duke3d-hrp-xxx: Replaced by eduke32-hrp freebasic-examples : Examples are now included in the freebasic package freedoom-daily : Crappy PKGBUILD of mine ;) freedoom-svn : replaced by freedoom-git instant : already in AUR (python-instant) jfduke3d : not sure about this one, can't build it anymore (32bit only) mars : project not updated for ages nhopkg : not needed, pacman should suffice ;) ninja : not updated in years, link dead quake2-retexture : uses updated copyrighted material, thusly illegal software slump : dead horse. sterling : see above timidity-shominst : contains samples of dubious origin, probably illegal xwaded-cvs : abandoned project, crashes on my box So that's my little list :) -- Follow The White Rabyte . . .

Please, can you delete the fmodex package (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=7964)? It seems like it is the only solution to the fact that I cannot upload an archive with updated scripts. Thanks, AT

[aur-general] packages for adoption
by Roman Kyrylych 08 Mar '09

08 Mar '09

Hi again! Thank you all for your replies! :-) Here's the (commented) list of packages: :: Unsupported :: * 4l * lightscribe * lightscribe-labeler * lightscribe-sdk LightScribe support will have to stay in Unsupported because the license doesn't allow redistribution (as I understand). * abraca * coyote * esperanza-git * kpdf2 * swiftfox-pentium2 * wterm These packages are actually not mine, another user has asked me to keep an eye on them half year ago, some time ago he agreed that it would be good to orphan them * cronolog * cronolog-beta * dav * moe * ndn - closed-source * ndn-beta - highly unstable * new-murrine-configurator - AFAIR it should replace murrine-configurator (it should have become official by now, but this should be checked) * teapop :: Community :: * abyssws - closed source 32-bit only, may go to Unsupported * agave * audacious-docklet - dead * audacious-itouch-control - no new version expected * bakery * balsa * brasero + libburn + libisofs * cherokee * colorer - no new version for a long time, required for mc-colorer, but is usable without it * computertemp * confuse * eiciel * esekeyd - no new version expected, not very useable 'cause runs everything as root, so special steps should be taken to make it work nicely with GUI apps (see config I created) * everygui - no new version is expected * font-mathematica * gdm-themes - licenses need to be reviewed, I've lost my local PKGBUILD modification :-( * gdmap - does not compile with recent gtk2 versions, no new version is expected * gimmage - no new version for a long time * gimmix - no new version for a while, but it was said that there will be new major version with GUI overhaul * glom - AFAIR it requires libgdamm for libgda 3.0 which is not stable (not in Extra at least), that's why I haven't updated it yet (and had no time to dig further) * gnochm * gnome-commander * gnome-schedule * gnomebaker - was dead, then resurrected, but no new versions since then * gpa * gpg-crypter * gshutdown - no new version is expected * gstm - no new version is expected * gtk2_prefs - no new version is expected * gtvg * gwget - needs regular patching of configure/makefiles to work with the latest epiphany * hal-cups-utils * hardware-monitor - dead, doesn't work with lm_sensors 3, no patch is known (=> Unsupported/remove) * homebank * iksemel * iniparser - there is version 3 beta, but it should be a separate package due to API change and existence of packages in Community that makedepend on it (e.g. isomaster), so this package should be left untouched * isomaster * kungfu * libconfig * libesmtp * libgdamm * libgtksourceviewmm * libgtksourceviewmm2 * libnewt * libxnvctrl - with each new nvidia driver it should be checked if new version of NVControl exists (nvcontrol.h) * link-monitor-applet * mc-colorer - patched mc with highlighting provided by colorer, no utf8 support, no new version for long time * metakit * mtpaint * music-applet * mxml * nautilus-actions * nautilus-audio-convert * nautilus-locked-folder * nautilus-open-terminal * nautilus-share * network-ups-tools - needs fixing * opera-static * parano * partimage - probably some bugs exist, not sure * pycups * python-pychm * rawstudio * rlocate - needs update for 2.6.25, but doesn't do its job anyway because LSMs are static since 2.6.24, no patch exists on Internet though it's a well-known issue, I was able to make it build and load, but not do the job (so move to Unsupported and wait for adventurous hacker to make it working) * rlocate-utils - userspace companion for the above * screenlets * sensors-applet * serpentine * superswitcher * system-config-printer * tea * tea-lite - cut down version of the above (note that the patch for libcurl removal is not needed when building in a clean chroot) * ttf-freefont - there were concerns about its quality (mainstream, not package) * ttf-liberation * urlgfe * visitors * vmoviedb * vsftpd-ext - patched vsftpd with more features, useful for users of Cyrillic charsets * webfs * wzdftpd * xcursor-* :: VirtualBox and (make)dependencies :: * virtualbox-* * dev86 * iasl * xalan-c Note: some of these are no longer needed since v1.6 :: will maintain by myself :: * aspell-uk, openoffice-spell-uk, openoffice-uk - I'm Ukrainian ;-) * hddtemp - abandoned, but still maintained by Debian and is very useful, from time to time new patches or db update arrives * pessulus - looks like it is (or will be soon) integrated into Sabayon Also, I'd like to maintain VirtualBox (though I won't be able to update until this weekend) unless there someone that has experience in building that beast wants to grab it. Due to Sun's downloading silliness - I think the source should be stored on our ftp, otherwise it gets downloaded with the huge filename. If you are interested in maintaining some packages - just adopt them. It won't be a problem for me to update those that will be left, if new versions of them are not released frequently, so don't feel it as your duty to grab all of them. That's all. -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)

[aur-general] coq in a stable repository
by Félix Sipma 07 Mar '09

07 Mar '09

Hi all, I have a request concerning the package coq. coq is a proof assistant which is used by a lot of people in the domain (I agree that that the proportion of arch users may seemed ridiculous, it is a tool for specialists) http://coq.inria.fr/ This software is designed by the French public computing institute INRIA. It is a really mature software, the development is active and it is very stable. Would it be possible to integrate it into a repository like community, extra or core? It depends on ocaml, and so I've tried to send a mail to the person who is in charge of this package but I have no answer... Thanks, Felix
