[aur-general] visualboyadvance rebuilds
by Daenyth Blank 30 Jan '10

30 Jan '10

When trying to rebuild visualboyadvance for the new jpng stuff, I run into errors compiling. I believe it may be related to the gcc patch not being present in SVN. I don't know how to access the CVS history any more. Can anyone give advice? http://omploader.org/vM2JqNQ - PKGBUILD http://omploader.org/vM2JqMg - build errors

[aur-general] TU Resignation abhidg
by Abhishek Dasgupta 30 Jan '10

30 Jan '10

Hi all, So long ... Real life has been getting busier and busier lately, with my final year in university coming up. I've not been able to devote much time to Arch in the last month at all; thus I'm resigning as a Trusted User. I've a few packages in [community], many of them are scientific packages which I used once. I hope someone will take them up, otherwise they can move to unsupported. Arch was my first exposure to open-source contribution and it's been a great two years! Thanks to everyone (Hugo, Aaron, Allan, and others who have helped me) and also Varun, thanks to whom I could become a part of this community. PS I really hope someone makes a stable distro out of the Arch core (Starch? :) ). One of the main reasons for quitting is that I don't have a reliable internet connection where I'm most of the time, and can't keep up with a rolling release any more. PPS The zsi package has a missing dep (python-setuptools). Could someone fix it? Thanks! Regards, Abhishek Dasgupta

[aur-general] please orphan mutt-sidebar
by Giorgio Lando 29 Jan '10

29 Jan '10

The mutt-sidebar package is not updated anymore and the contributor does not answer to email messages. This has lead to the mistaken creation of an analogue mutt-with-sidebar package. I guess that a TU could orphan mutt-sidebar, so it can be updated and mutt-with-sidebar can be removed. Thanks Giorgio Lando - patroclo7

Hi, could anyone remove my package gtk2-theme-oxygen-molecule (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=33968)? I've found out that it's a duplicate of oxygen-molecule-theme already present in AUR. best, Lukas

[aur-general] Orphaning / giving away packages
by Pierre Chapuis 27 Jan '10

27 Jan '10

I have just orphaned a few packages because I don't use them anymore, so you can adopt them if you want. They are: gfaim: cooking recipes software in French lib32-libmad: I probably needed it for a proprietary game someday... lout: LaTeX alternative ltsa: a formal verification tool for concurrent systems spin/xspin: formal verification of distributed software systems and protocols I have also kept the following packages but I'm willing to hand them over if someone else wants to maintain them: gsi-sshterm: Java SSH application to log in computing grids mpy-svn-stats: Subversion logs analyzer (generates stats...) springgraph: alternative to neato (renders graphs) sig2dot: tool to plot a GPG keyring python-irclib: Python IRC client library I have also orphaned globus, a toolkit to build grids, but maybe it should simply be removed or updated to version 5.0 (which is not backwards-compatible though, I didn't try to build it at all). The package gt provides version 4.0 but it looks unmaintained and is almost impossible to find because its description does not contain the word "Globus". Finally, I think the python-decorator package should go to community: it has 97 votes and is probably one of the most useful Python modules. If no TU wants to take it I will keep maintaining it in AUR. Thanks for reading ;) -- catwell

[aur-general] Please clean up mistakes in SVN
by Allan McRae 25 Jan '10

25 Jan '10

Hi, This is just a little note to remind people to clean up any mistakes made in SVN. If you do not know how to, then just ask. While figuring out why ABS was not working for community-testing on i686 I found packages committed to community-testing on the main repos SVN and committed to testing and extra on the community SVN. Also I found a src and pkg directory with some some sort of CVS stuff inside in the community SVN. Everything should be cleaned up now. Thanks, Allan

[aur-general] KDE 4.4 SC available in [kde-unstable]
by Pierre Schmitz 23 Jan '10

23 Jan '10

Hi everybody, we are working on the upcoming KDE SC release for some time now but we have reached a state when we would like to invite you to help us testing the new packages. There are about two weeks left until KDE SC 4.4 will finally be released; so the current snapshot is quite usable. Especially Devs and TUs should use the kde-unstable repository and check if their Qt or KDE related applications still work. If KDE 4.4 or Qt 4.6 does break your app please add Andrea and me to the assignees so we get an overview of the "damage". There is a small guide about using the kde-unstable repository at http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DeveloperWiki:KDE#Users So, if you feel you need to tell others about kde-unstable please always add a link to that page. Especially the repository ordering is important. Happy testing and thanks for your feedback, Pierre -- Pierre Schmitz, https://users.archlinux.de/~pierre
