[aur-general] [FYI] Two new packages in community: libcuefile and libreplaygain
by bardo 04 Feb '10

04 Feb '10

I finally managed to build the last musepack-tools release, but it now needs two small libraries (and relative headers) also published by the Musepack Team. I'm going to upload them as dependencies. Corrado

[aur-general] brother-mfc210c-fixed-version 1.0.0-3 - outdated
by Emanuel Couto 03 Feb '10

03 Feb '10

Hi, I have declared the brother-mfc210c-fixed-version 1.0.0-3 as outdated as there were two orphan packages that were essentially the same, but with a correction in the licenses. The new packages are now managed by a user that wanted to fix some bugs in the old package. He tried to contact the old package manager (tomekk228) via email with no success. I believe tomek228 does not manage his packages for some reason and his manager title should be removed. Cheers -- Emanuel Couto nº 25816

[aur-general] Please orphan hamachi
by Lauri Niskanen 03 Feb '10

03 Feb '10

Hamachi package in AUR [1] has been marked out-of-date for a very long time. It needs a little fix on the PKGBUILD. The maintainer yack [2] has two thirds of his packages out-of-date and he doesn't reply to email. Please orphan the package 'hamachi'.

[aur-general] PKGBUILD for python-numpy, orphaned and out-of-date
by Puneeth Chaganti 03 Feb '10

03 Feb '10

Hello, The python-numpy package [extra/python-numpy 1.3.0-2] is an orphaned package and out-of-date too. I have edited the old PKGBUILD to work with the new release of numpy. After some search, I found the best way to deal with it is, to mail it on this list. Doing the same. Thanks. ~punchagan

[aur-general] Please remove my package from AUR
by kosmici-atakuja＠wp.pl 02 Feb '10

02 Feb '10

I need somebody to help me and erase my package. I mistakenly shared my PKGBUILD file for ktorrent-3.3.3 because it wasn't available in the repos for some time, I thought people might want to use it. Turns out it was a mistake and besides ktorrent-3.3.3 is now available in the repos. I did all this because I thought that I can remove my package from AUR just by myself but I was wrong again :) I guess I'm new to this. Please remove the package. It's here: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=34031 I promise I'll follow the rules next time and wait for the official repos! Thank you

My AUR package "box2d-groundzero-svn" (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=30593) was a temporary solution which is now obsolete due to upstream changes. Please remove it :). -- Sven-Hendrik

[aur-general] partially inactive
by Ronald van Haren 02 Feb '10

02 Feb '10

Hey guys, Coming Monday I'll get the key of my new apartment where I'll be living together with my girlfriend. That's all fine and such but before I can move our stuff I have to do quite a bit of work in the new apartment. This all means that I'll still be around and try to keep up with package releases (I'll make sure everything is up to date before Monday) during that period, but I won't be able to quickly respond to urgent matters or quickly fix bugs. I'll be checking my e-mail regularly though so I'll be able to ask for help if needed. Sometime I also have to arrange an internet connection there but I hope to have this arranged before I move. I'm not too sure how long this will take but I hope to be living there in ~1 month. Feel free to fix any of my packages during that period if you see necessary. Ronald

[aur-general] TU Resignation
by Paulo Matias 02 Feb '10

02 Feb '10

Hi all, Besides loving Arch, a few reasons made me leave it as my main distribution. I could surely adapt Arch to my new personal needs, due to its simplicity and flexibility, but due to lack of time and real life pressure, it would not be possible anytime soon. So I'm resigning as a Trusted User. I'd like to thank you all for giving me this outstanding opportunity and experience. Special thanks to hdoria, angvp, bardo, wonder, foutrelis, ornitorrincos, stefanhusmann, sergej, pierre and all you that helped me or worked with me on a package. I have a few packages at community. I hope you can adopt some of them. In special, I'd like to ask that if some TU uses OSS frequently, he adopts it, as this package may require some special care, being a driver package. Most of the users that ask help in the OSS IRC channel are Arch users, so we should have a good amount of OSS users. Regarding packages in unsupported, it would be nice if some TU could adopt virtualbox_bin. This package needs some care and it would be nice to merge bdheeman's dkms work (virtualbox-sun package) so the duplicates can be removed. Also it would be nice if someone could contact the VirtualBox developers (there is even an irc channel - #vbox) and offer to make this package official. I mean, they have a repository for debian-based and for redhat-based distributions, so maybe they could make an archlinux repository and offer directly there an official ready-to-install package if some help is offered to them. I will list below my community and unsupported packages to ease adoption. [community] - oss-related (oss, skype-oss) - djvu-related (djview4, pdf2djvu -> pstreams) - lua-related (luadoc, luafilesystem, luajit, lualogging) - netsurf-related (netsurf -> hubbub, libnsbmp, libnsgif, libparserutils) - latex-related (texmaker) [unsupported] - vbox-related (virtualbox_bin) - oss-related (xulrunner-oss) - electronics-related (alliance, chipmunksystem, logisim) - lua-related (iup, cd, im, gnuplot-luaterm) - ion3-related (ion-3, trayion) - djvu-related (gsdjvu) - irc-related (kvirc-svn, qirssi) - driver stuff (samsutools) - other stuff (chestnut-dialer, eresi-svn, python-mpmath, uspnet) By the number of votes, some of them can even go to community if some TU is interested. Packages virtualbox_bin-1, virtualbox_bin-2, virtualbox_bin-3_0 are legacy stuff requested by users to be left out. The netcfg-rt73 and qc-usb packages are legacy stuff that are probably useless nowadays, unless someone uses an old custom kernel. Best regards, Paulo Matias
