[aur-general] Orphan request
by Marcin 11 Jan '10

11 Jan '10

Hi! Could someone orphan ispell-pl AUR package for me? I've spoken to current maintainer, he isn't interested in arch any more. And he agreed for me as a new maintainer. -- Pozdrawiam/Regards, Marcin 'sirmacik' Karpezo

[aur-general] orphan request
by masutu Subric 10 Jan '10

10 Jan '10

Hi, can you please orphan the "quantlib" package ( http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=7966). Last update was Wed, 23 Jan 2008 15:17:36 and it's version is 0.9.0, while the actual quantlib.org one is 0.9.9. I emailed the maintainer (trader) 2 weeks ago, but did not get a response. Best Regards, masutu

[aur-general] rfkill package
by Thomas Bächler 09 Jan '10

09 Jan '10

I noticed that the rfkill package is in community now (very good). However, I have been asked if it was possible to make a few improvements: 1) Add a rfkill group (or use an existing group) and allow that group to write /dev/rfkill using udev (if we add a group, we should do that in the filesystem package, not the rfkill package). Apparently, some desktop applications would like to set the rfkill state, so this way we could allow that. 2) Add an init script that can optionally unblock wifi, bluetooth or anything else on boot. In the past, some devices were soft-blocked on boot by default (is this still an issue?), so this could be improved. Maybe we should even move this to extra or even core. Giovanni, this seems to be your package, what do you think?

At least virtualbox is also affected, maybe more. I am rebuilding aufs, please post if any other modules are affected.

Well, I've changed my e-mail into the address I'm writing with now :) Should be okay. -- Themaister

[aur-general] db-scripts glitch
by bardo 07 Jan '10

07 Jan '10

Just had a little problem that required manual intervention on sigurd. I was running db-community, but it happened to be already running, so it stopped. It left a symlink behind, though, and it failed until I removed it. Here's the log, tomorrow I'll investigate the problem, now it's 4 am and I only have the energy to cut&paste.

06 Jan '10

Hi, I have two packages in the AUR that are not needed anymore since quite some time and I'd like to have them deleted. The packages in question are: - libjpeg-jpegint; was needed for xbmc because of a missing header file in libjpeg - eigen2; was needed for koffice2, however both are now in [extra]. Thank you.

06 Jan '10

Hi, Can you please remove the yorick-svn package? I messed up the other day and wanted to submit yorick-cvs (which I did since then), but instead created and submitted a yorick-svn, which I now request to be deleted. Sorry. Thanks, Francois
