[aur-general] Please delete this orphaned package
by Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi 04 Mar '09

Hi Please delete this orphaned package "perl-errorhandler", this contains a obsolete PKGBUILD. There are another package[#2], with a correct {pkgname} "perl-class-errorhandler", and correct PKGBUILD, that replace it. Thanks.

I renamed chromium by popular request. The new pkg is up but I have not cleaned the old chromium build files from CVS, just untagged the PKGBUILD. Best dtw

[aur-general] pkgs that are in community and have "lost" tar.gz in unsupported.
by Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi 03 Mar '09

Hi people, I do not know if this is intentional, but when in doubt I will let you know. I did a comparison of the existence of packages that are http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/{pkgname}/ and also in community/{category}/{pkgname}. The list[#1] ({date} {pkgname}) have 1282 entries, and are sorted by date. (2005-2009). They may be removed, I do not know. I hope this will be helpful. Take care.

But the better way would be to contact the current maintainer via email or AUR comment page and to convince him to use your package or to orphan it for you. Regards Stefan

[aur-general] why my package was deleted?
by Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi 02 Mar '09

Hi I make a package "perl-ack" and was delete without any reason/notification. I guess it was because they thought it was a duplicate of the "unsupported/ack" but this is not true. The "unsupported/ack" only contains a standalone "ack", without any perl module for develop app that uses ack, and no manpages. My package contains: usr/bin/perlbin/vendor/ack usr/share/man/man1/ack.1p.gz usr/share/man/man3/Plugin.3pm.gz usr/share/man/man3/Resource.3pm.gz usr/share/man/man3/Repository.3pm.gz usr/share/man/man3/Basic.3pm.gz usr/share/man/man3/Ack.3pm.gz usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/App/Ack.pm usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/App/Ack/Repository.pm usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/App/Ack/Plugin/ usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/App/Ack/Resource.pm usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/App/Ack/Plugin.pm usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/App/Ack/Plugin/Basic.pm Reupload? -- Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi ( djgera ) http://www.djgera.com.ar KeyID: 0x1B8C330D Key fingerprint = 0CAA D5D4 CD85 4434 A219 76ED 39AB 221B 1B8C 330D

[aur-general] Package Removal Request (various)
by M Rawash 02 Mar '09

02 Mar '09

here's a few packages that are no longer needed in AUR - hamster-applet (part of gnome, in extra) - xulrunner-devel (older than extra/xulrunner) - ejourn (project no longer exists) - openoffice.org-style-human (no longer exists) - gnome-device-manager (part of gnome, in extra) - gnome-panel-ubuntu (no longer exists) - firefox-qt-mercurial-ubuntu (no longer exists) i suggest the TU's do a "AUR cleanup day", we sort of had something like that back in openSUSE, where the devs get together (on irc) and organise a "bug squashing day" - basically we go into bugzilla and pickup invalid and wontfix bugs and start deleting or otherwise fix/assign them - ideas? regards, M Rawash
