by Cédric Girard 08 Jan '11

utorrent-server [1] is a duplicate of utserver [2]. It has no maintainer, is outdated and has a bad PKGBUILD. Thanks, [1] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=40600 [2] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=40602 -- Cédric Girard

[aur-general] arduino cleanup
by PyroPeter 05 Dec '10

05 Dec '10

Hello AUR users! I borrowed an arduino recently and found the *arduino*-part of the AUR to be very messy. Here are my findings: ## arduino64-updated [1] Outdated for ages, the copy of a copy of the arduino-PKGBUILD. Can be deleted. ## arduino64 [2] and arduino [3] The difference is difficult to find, the descriptions do not help in any way. arduino depends on avrdude, while arduino64 includes an outdated, but patched avrdude from the Arduino-project. I wrote an architecture-independent PKGBUILD that could replace arduino and an adapted one that includes the patched avrdude. It could replace arduino64. I am not sure about the naming of the two new packages, but I think it would make sense to call the package with included avrdude "arduino", because the Arduino SDK includes avrdude by default. The other one could be called "arduino_unpatched". (I am using an underscore here to distinguish it from the "mainname-modulename" notation used by arduino-onewire (which is an add-on for arduino) tl,dr: arduino64 can be deleted, I would like arduino to be orphaned. ## arduino-pyro [4] I uploaded my new PKGBUILD for the arduino-without-avrdude package under this name to get feedback. It can be deleted. Regards, PyroPeter [1] arduino64-updated https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=32041 [2] arduino64 https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=24053 [3] arduino https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=8388 [4] arduino-pyro https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=43902 -- freenode/pyropeter "12:50 - Ich drücke Return."

[aur-general] TU Application: Dave Reisner
by Dave Reisner 03 Dec '10

03 Dec '10

Greetings! Please consider this my application to become a Trusted User. My name is Dave Reisner, and I'm 27 years old, currently residing in the New York City area. Ionut Biru has graciously offered to sponsor this application. I'm a self-taught programmer, computer enthusiast, an occasional IT consultant, and I enjoy brutal sarcasm & dry wit. During the daytime, I star as a QA website tester, writing automated test scripts with the Selenium framework. At night, I prefer Bash & C, but I also dabble in Go, Java, Ruby, and Python. Although I've only been using Arch for a little over a year now, I've become very much appreciative and endeared to its simplistic style and offer of freedom in administration. I quickly settled into a CLI setup featuring DWM, mutt, ncmpcpp, tmux, etc and filled in any missing gaps with Bash and C programs of my own design. In particular, I wrote cower and burp, which interface with the AUR to do clean and fast downloading and uploading (respectively) from the AUR. Please feel free to visit my Github repositories [1]. I also consider myself to have been an active contributor to the Arch community. I advocate the testing repo (which I use on all the boxes I maintain), I diligently file and follow up with bug reports, providing patches or other solutions whenever possible, and I've made a few (though somewhat minor) code contributions to pacman. Over the course of the past year, I've picked up a number of packages in the AUR [2]. While many of these aren't very popular, I would like to make an effort to bring Systemd into community to make it more accessible. I believe that while it does not necessarily fall directly in line with the "true spirit" of Arch, it's an excellent project and there are many people interested in its offerings within the Arch community. I've been following its development since a month after Lennart made his initial announcement, and I have been the major provider of Systemd packages on the AUR. In addition, I've spoken with Daniel Griffiths and I offered to relieve him of some of his packaging duties (given his hectic schedule), and we agreed on: asciidoc, html2text, and rsnapshot. Eventually, as I become more comfortable with the role, I would like to take on more packages to help insure that our repos stay fresh and full of useful software. Since the recent cleanup. I'm happy to answer any questions you may have. Thanks for taking the time to consider my application. Dave.

[aur-general] RM a bunch of duplicate perl packages
by Justin Davis 30 Nov '10

30 Nov '10

I adopted a bunch of orphaned perl packages awhile ago (as the aurperl user) and I noticed that there are some perl module packages that already exist in [extra]. The problem was that the packages in AUR use the more predictable perl package naming scheme while the [extra] packages use a custom naming scheme (i.e. gtk2-perl, gnome-perl, etc). Please delete these packages: [http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=25815] perl-gnome2 [http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=25816] perl-gnome2-canvas [http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=25819] perl-gnome2-panelapplet [http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=25817] perl-gnome2-vfs [http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=25818] perl-gnome2-gconf [http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=25813] perl-gtk2 [http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=25822] perl-gtk2-gladexml [http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=25814] perl-pango [http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=25812] perl-glib [http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=25810] perl-cairo Thanks -- -Justin

[aur-general] Acroread packages.
by Peter Lewis 30 Nov '10

30 Nov '10

Hi folks, Does anyone know of a reason why the bin32- acroread packages can't be deleted? The standard acroread packages support both arches now. (Just thought I'd check I wasn't missing anything before getting trigger happy...) Cheers, Pete.

[aur-general] crafty and xfce4-volstatus-icon up for adoptions
by Allan McRae 29 Nov '10

29 Nov '10

Hi, I no longer wish to maintain these packages in [community] so they are up for adoption. I will move them to the AUR in one week if no TU lets me know that they want to maintain them. crafty: A chess engine. The latest release gives heaps of compiler issues and my chess skills do not warrant playing against this so my motivation to fix is minimal... xfce4-valstatus-icon: Needs its source located. The link on its project page is dead and a _very_ brief search did not turn up anything. Allan
