I orphaned gdoomsday because the project has been replaced by enyo-doom (package was created some days ago). I think gdoomsday can be deleted now. Project won't be developed anymore! Thanks! -- Dany Martineau Enseignant en mathématiques En congé parental jusqu'au 25 août 2009 http://arctangente.blogspot.com CSSMI

[aur-general] Need help updating nbd package
by Peter Simons 06 Aug '09

06 Aug '09

Hi, the nbd package at AUR, http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=9691, has been out-of-date for quite a while. I have an updated PKGBUILD (attached below) and wonder whether there is a way to make that update happen even if the maintainer of that package has apparently lost interest. Take care, Peter

[aur-general] The KDE 4.3 update for packagers
by Pierre Schmitz 05 Aug '09

05 Aug '09

Hi Devs and TUs, with the recent KDE update the packages were split up. All packages in extra should be updated but if you maintain a KDE related package please check. Try to reduce the deps (use namcap) and replace a dep to kdegraphics with the needed sub packages. At least a KDE pacakges which has some standalone app should depend on kdebase-runtime (namcap wont tell you) In addition to this phonon is included into Qt now. Greetings, Pierre -- Pierre Schmitz, http://users.archlinux.de/~pierre

I think that someone should remove the "archgdm" package, because : -The project page (gnome look) is a 404 -The package URL is also a 404 -No email is given in the pkgbuild, so it isn't possible to know who made the package, and with which gdm theme was used (the search "Archlinux" in "GDM Themes" in gnome look returns seven results)

[aur-general] Please orphan AUR package "tao"
by Sven-Hendrik Haase 04 Aug '09

04 Aug '09

Hey, Please orphan the AUR package "tao" since it has never been updated, the user seems to have gotten inactive starting somewhere 2006 and the PKGBUILD is lacking quality. I will not maintain it because I'm not a big Mono fan but others should be given the opportunity to do so. -- Sven-Hendrik

[aur-general] Removal Request
by mathieu p 04 Aug '09

04 Aug '09

Please remove the packages koulourpaint and koulourpaint-bin from the AUR. They are flagged out of date, unmaintained, and the previous maintainer wants it deleted (I assume it's him who wrote the pkgdesc and the comments) « easy-to-use paint program for KDE. Obsolete dummy package - kdegraphics should be used instead»
