Hi there, There is an AUR package that doesn't compile. I have updated the build on my own. How do I submit it or take over the existing package? The owner isn't responding to my queries. Thanks. Farhan Yousaf, MSIA, ISP Sent from my iPhone

[aur-general] Move [community-testing] packages to [community]
by Evangelos Foutras 22 Sep '09

22 Sep '09

I noticed that the new libldap and postgresql packages were moved to [core] and [extra] respectively. We should probably move rebuilds out of [community-testing] and into [community] as soon as possible. How do we go about this? Using /arch/db-move or something else? :) (I'm not on my desktop computer at the moment, so if someone knows how to proceed with the move, please go ahead.)

Hello all. I'm using Arch for about 1 year. I helped Arch community by providing PKGBUILDS and helping on forum. I want to introduce me. My name is Patrick, I'm from the Poland I am working with computers for long time (12 years). Now I'm maintraining 14 packages on AUR in unsupported repo. List of them dwm-git 20090813-1 unsupported devel glib2-newest 2.21.6-1 unsupported system grub2-git 29072009-1 unsupported x11 inputproto-git 1.9.99.902-1 unsupported kernels kernel26-bfs 2.6.31-1 unsupported lib libsoup-git 20090920-1 1 unsupported lib libx11-git 1.2.99.901-1 unsupported modules nvidia-bfs-beta 190.32-1 unsupported x11 renderproto-git 0.11-1 unsupported x11 xextproto-git 7.0.99.3-1 unsupported x11 xf86-input-keyboard-git 20080809-1 unsupported x11 xf86-input-mouse-git 20080808-1 unsupported x11 xorg-server-git 20090529-1 unsupported x11 xorg-xinit-git 20080807-1 Some of them are based on PKGBUILD provieded by ABS and some are based on packages in AUR , and some are builded myself. I am programming in Python and C++ ;) Now that I've introduced myself I'm looking for someone who wants to sponsor me (if any). Please feel free to ask any questions I do not have answered yet. Thanks for reading this ;)

Several packages that are unlikely needed... wildmagic - http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=7574 There is a "wildmagic4" package in AUR, so I think this old version may be deleted. soqt - http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=7538 soqt3 - http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=7602 It is identical packages: "soqt" is orphan, but updated in Jun 2009 and it needs for freecad; last update of "soqt3" - Nov 2006 and it doesn't needed for anything. lapack-gcc3 - http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=7378 This package is orphan and last updated at Jul 2007. And there is a new lapack package in Extra repository.

[aur-general] Some packages to consider deleting...
by Smartboy 21 Sep '09

21 Sep '09

I went through parts of AUR today intending to find some packages which could be deleted for various reasons. Here is what I got: audacious-beta <http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=26394>, audacious-plugins-beta <http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=26395>: Its an old, unmaintained version of Audacious. The version in the repos is 2 minor versions ahead of this one. I think it can safely be removed without hurting anything. bang <http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=15238>: This hasn't been maintained upstream for a while, and doesn't even build anymore. There is always Ecomorph, which is somewhat more maintained upstream. beryl-bmenu, beryl-desktopclick, beryl-screensaver: Beryl isn't available for Arch anymore, and hasn't been developed for over 2 years now. These can be removed. cairo-newspr <http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=16587>: Gentoo isn't even using the patches anymore, and the maintainer abandoned it. I see no reason for this package to stick around. catalyst-vanilla <http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=24451>: Old, unmaintained, a duplicate of the catalyst pkgbuild, and the old maintainer even asked for it to be deleted in the comments. Those should be reason enough to delete this PKGBUILD. ejourn <http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=2772>: Project page is down, with the program innacessable. Package hasn't been updated in 3 years. It should be deleted. enna-cvs <http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=14653>: e17 switched to svn long ago. This should be deleted. php4-gtk <http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=730>: This is for php version 4, which isn't available in arch. Hasn't been updated in years. qtpoveditor <http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=2719>: Doesn't work anymore, and isn't supported either. rstatd <http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=2557>: Doesn't work anymore, program itself last updated in 2005. Hope this helps make AUR just a little bit cleaner. ;) Smartboy
