Hi, I've orphaned the dzlad-git package: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=33881 Since the dzlad package now pulls from git, there's no need for this package any more, so please delete it from AUR, thanks!

Hello, I'm a newcomer to this list. I've been using Arch for about a year and today I decided to learn what it takes to make an Arch package. I took a simple app I had developed in C++/OpenGL, learned how to use autotools to compile and install it. Had been using handcoded Makefiles before. Then, I followed the guidelines to write a PKGBUILD for it and went about making my package installable/uninstallable via pacman. Took a couple hours to grasp it right, but now that I understand how it works, I love Arch even more. I feel like helping the community and I think maintaining packages would be a starting point. How do I go about starting it, shall I just search for orphans/out of date that should/could be fixed, take them and thats it? :) Érico de Morais Nunes Engenharia de Computação Universidade Federal do Pampa Campus Bagé

[aur-general] snd-gtk-jack

Hello - There is a package named [snd-ls](http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=15580) which is orphaned and quite out of date. I would like to adopt it and update it with the following PKGBUILD: --- # Maintainer: Andrew Antle <andrew dot antle at gmail dot com> pkgname=snd-gtk-jack _pkgname=snd pkgver=11.3 pkgrel=1 pkgdesc="A sound editor, with GTK+ and JACK enabled" arch=('i686' 'x86_64') license=('custom') depends=('fftw' 'gamin' 'gsl' 'gtk2' 'jack' 'ladspa') url="http://ccrma.stanford.edu/software/snd/" source=(ftp://ccrma-ftp.stanford.edu/pub/Lisp/$_pkgname-$pkgver.tar.gz) md5sums=('71168f92e77a14f80c6bcf5c1dd3df26') build() { cd $srcdir/$_pkgname-$pkgver ./configure --prefix=/usr --with-gtk --with-jack make || return 1 make prefix=$pkgdir/usr install rm -f $pkgdir/usr/share/$_pkgname/*.{fs,rb} install -D -m 644 COPYING $pkgdir/usr/share/licenses/$pkgname/LICENSE } --- Do I need a TU to change the name of the package, and then I'll adopt it and update it? Or should I just upload my PKGBUILD and ask for the old, orphaned one to be deleted? P.S. The manpage is being installed -rwx-r-x-r-x, but in the tarball it's -rw-r--r--. How can I fix this? Should I chmod it at the end of build()? Thanks, -- Andrew Antle <andrew dot antle at gmail dot com>

[aur-general] orphan request midisport-firmware 1.2-1
by masutu Subric 12 Mar '10

Hi TUs, could one of you please orphan the package midisport-firmware 1.2-1 http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=25765? I emailed the maintaining user about 10 days ago, but did not get an answer yet. Version is not out of date, but i'd like to adopt this package for several reason: -sources need to be patched, use of outdated udev command; does not compile without patch -PKGBUILD does not contain a valid source string -maintainer mail address in PKGBUILD is no more valid (mail account deleted) -source udev.rules do not work -i like my little midisport box so much :) All the changes i'd like to add to the PKGBUILD were already mentioned in other user's comments. Best Regards, masutu

[aur-general] I think I need my package removed from AUR...
by kosmici-atakuja＠wp.pl 10 Mar '10

Hello, I made a package containing the run-mailcap script that is required for sup mail to run properly. Beforehand I checked with pkgfile if run-mailcap is available anywhere in Arch repos and AUR and it said it wasn't. So I made the package and upload it to AUR to make life simple for sup mail users. However, turns out run-mailcap is a part of the mime-support package as it was pointed out to me in the forums. So now there's no point in making a separate run-mailcap I think... If you feel it should be deleted, please delete it, it's here: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=35334 The only reason I can think of for having a separate run-mailcap package is for users that are minimalists - since they only need this one script, not the whole package for sup. Thank you Piotr -- Piotr Kempa
