[aur-general] Please move orphaned package tor from extra to AUR
by Rorschach 29 Jun '09

29 Jun '09

Hi, the package tor in the extra repository (http://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/i686/tor/) has no maintainer at the moment. Next to that there are two security vulnerabilities in that version in extra at the moment. Can you move it to AUR so I can maintain it? greetings

Hello. The AUR package 'mod_scgi' seems not to have a maintainer. I would be willing to take the maintenance of this package. My AUR account is 'henux'. http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=22171 http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?SeB=m&K=henux Regards, Henri Häkkinen

[aur-general] [NOTICE] For Trusted Users. Update your CVS settings.
by Loui Chang 28 Jun '09

28 Jun '09

The new CVS setup uses ssh, so you will need a shell account. Please email me your ssh public key to set that up. For dealing with CVS please follow these instructions: Set CVS_RSH in your shell export CVS_RSH=ssh Update your CVSROOT settings to :ext:USER@aur.archlinux.org:/srv/cvs/community Where USER is your ssh login name. The quick way of changing your CVSROOT cd to directory with community checkout: find -name Root -exec sed -i 's/^:pserver.*/:ext:USER@archlinux.org:/srv/cvs/community/' {} \; It's preferred to edit your current checkout rather than making a new one, to reduce server load. Cheers!

[aur-general] Remove vim-scripts-align
by Magnus Therning 28 Jun '09

28 Jun '09

Please remove this package (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=26319) I have no intention of supporting it as the upstream author makes it available as a VBA. This means it can be easily kept up-to-date from inside Vim using GetLatestVimScripts, and pacman need not be involved at all. /M -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) magnus＠therning．org Jabber: magnus＠therning．org http://therning.org/magnus identi.ca|twitter: magthe

[aur-general] automatic package creation from pypi
by Abhishek Dasgupta 27 Jun '09

27 Jun '09

Quite a while back, the idea of automatically creating PKGBUILDs from pypi came up: http://www.archlinux.org/pipermail/aur-general/2008-August/002099.html It'd be really cool if we could get something similar to cabal2arch for PyPI. Checking the PyPiXmlRpc [1] page does not show any field for listing dependencies of the package though. Is there any way of getting the dependencies of a python module programmatically?

[aur-general] The AUR move semi complete
by Loui Chang 27 Jun '09

27 Jun '09

The web site is running and users can interact with the AUR in most of the usual ways. Mail still needs to be set up properly so notifications aren't working right now. I'll also need some more time for setting up community. Syncing the whole repo is taking longer than anticipated.

The AUR has been up for how many years, and I haven't even *heard* of a malicious package. I don't think we should add features (and spend effort coding, and make the interface *more* cluttered) unless there is a need for the feature.
