[aur-general] Delete request aur/eclipse35-gwt
by Benjamin Bukowski 14 Jun '10

14 Jun '10

Hello, please delete my aur/eclipse35-gwt package (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=33599). This adds the GWT-Plugin to Eclipse. The problem is, the plugin needs GWT-SDK set up. It is much easier to install the plugin using the 'Update-Site'. Thanks, bb.

Hello, this is a proposal to remove nextaw from community. It is not needed by any community package. It once was a dependency of siag-office, which has been moved to unsupported long ago and is still unmaintained there. Regards Stefan

[aur-general] Fixes for alot of PKGBUILDs
by Christopher Rogers 12 Jun '10

12 Jun '10

I have fixes for alot of packages in extra and community. you can find the fixes here: http://github.com/godane/abs-source/tree/my-fixes its best to 'git clone git://github.com/godane/abs-source.git' without quotes. Do a 'git diff abs-20100611 my-fixes' without quotes to see the fixes i added to them. You can ignore aumix-gtk since it was updated. Also all texlive-*-doc url are broken. There url is you guys so i didn't bother to fix those. I hope this helps.

[aur-general] Help with binary package
by Stephen Weinberg 11 Jun '10

11 Jun '10

Can someone help me with godesk? http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=37635&detail=1 It used to work, then there was some update and it does not work anymore. It is not a dynamic binary, however according to what I have been reading this may have to do with a glib update. When I run the binary, I get: $ godesk (process:8174): Gdk-WARNING **: locale not supported by C library (godesk:8174): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library. Using the fallback 'C' locale. godesk: ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/getpagesize.c:32: __getpagesize: Assertion `_rtld_global_ro._dl_pagesize != 0' failed. Aborted The GDK warnings were always there, but it is the getpagesize that is failing. Since it is a binary package, I do not expect you to be able to fix it. However, I need someone to help me figure out what caused it so I can give a better report upstream. They are responsive and have fixed bugs I have given them in the past. -- Stephen

[aur-general] TU application for Thomas Dziedzic
by Thomas Dziedzic 11 Jun '10

11 Jun '10

Hello, My name is Thomas Dziedzic. I recently applied to the Junior Developer program, but I was not accepted because of the quantity of people that applied. Allan McRae suggested that I should apply to be a TU so here I am. I have contacted Ionuț Bîru (wonder) and he has agreed to sponsor me. This will mainly be a reiteration of my JD program application. Now, onto some background about me. I got started with open source software several years ago mainly out of curiosity by installing a linux distro (mandrake). Some OSs that I have used before archlinux include: mandrake (now mandriva), debian, opensuse, fedora core (now fedora), slackware, freebsd, ubuntu, and many others. Now my distro hopping days are mostly over thanks to archlinux and virtualbox. I have been using archlinux on my desktop for at least 2 years now. I go by the following nicks, td123 on irc/aur, and tomd123 on bbs/bugs/wiki. I currently maintain 78 packages in the aur. [1] I keep them mostly up to date and bug free. I know some of the packages aren't perfect but most (if not all) work. Most importantly, I don't ignore user requests/problem reports. I also go through some bug reports and help out where ever I can. I am fairly comfortable with writing packages for archlinux. I am also comfortable fixing bugs in the packages. I currently don't actively track upstream development of any packages, mainly because I don't have a need to. Occasionally, if I'm curious about certain features or just want to check out the changes/progress, I will check the repo logs or the changelog. I am mainly interested in maintaining scientific/mathematical apps along with apps that follow the unix philosophy. Initially, I would be interested in knowing if I could move sage-mathematics from the AUR to community. Also, I would be interested in adopting grass from community. I am hoping that I will get accepted so I can help improve archlinux even more! -Thomas Dziedzic [1] - http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?SeB=m&K=td123
