[aur-general] [request] Please remove gconf-hardware-monitor
by Francisco Pina Martins 09 Jul '10

09 Jul '10

Hello all! I own an AUR package called gconf-hw-monitor. It has been useful to patch gconf to work with Hardware-monitor, but since the latest version of hardware-monitor, this patched gconf is no longer required. Therefore I ask any TUs to please delete it as it is deprecated and I no longer plan to maintain it. Here is the link: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=32479 Thank you in advance. Francisco

by Mikhail Vorozhtsov 09 Jul '10

09 Jul '10

Hi. It seems that the chromium package from [extra] is back on track and gets updated quickly on new beta releases. That makes my chromium-beta package[1] just a duplicate. [1] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=37204

[aur-general] Orphan request: grisbi
by Christoph 08 Jul '10

08 Jul '10

The package grisbi http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=1648 has not been updated, although a user (not me) suggested an updated PKGBUILD a month ago. The maintainer's e-mail address <dab(a)brospower.com>does not exist any longer. (Btw, grisbi is the only package owned by the user "dab".) So could you please orphan it? Thanks, Christoph

[aur-general] Python-3.x transition with python-2.7 update
by Allan McRae 08 Jul '10

08 Jul '10

Hi all, Here comes a rebuild so large that our TODO list had trouble handling it! Hopefully all packages are now in the rebuild list.... At a total of 518 packages long, it puts the combined libpng/libjpeg rebuild to shame. Python-2.7 has been releases and will be the last 2.x official release of python. So it is time to switch to python-3.x as our /usr/bin/python and python-2.7 as our /usr/bin/python2. See http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DeveloperWiki:Python_Todo_List for all the details about how to achieve this. It is actually not that hard. I had a system converted when python-3.1 was released as a test run. The main key is to build packages in a clean chroot so that they detect and point their files to /usr/bin/python2. Some packages are stupid and require a sed at the end of packaging to fix that. Because this rebuild is crazy stupid, I would like to plan when it is going to occur. We will need to clear out [testing] as much as possible over the coming week or two (what is happening with perl...). Also, a new KDE is a the beginning of next month so I would not want to conflict with that. Any other major rebuilds on the way? Should we do this in a separate repo? Allan
