[aur-general] request to move flickrnet from community to the aur
by Thomas Dziedzic 03 Jul '10

03 Jul '10

It isn't required by any packages, it's an orphan, it's out-of-date, even though it isn't flagged, and doesn't build because the source somehow got removed from the community svn repo (or never made it there) The missing source is part of http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/19039 FS#19039 - [many packages] missing sources, .install in source array. I think we should move it. link - http://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/i686/flickrnet/

[aur-general] Duplicates in AUR (flashrom-svn)
by Anton Shestakov 02 Jul '10

02 Jul '10

I want to bring attention to the following packages: flashrom-dev - http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=30391 flashrom-svn - http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=23390 flashrom-svn-new - http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=36865 They all build flashrom from the same svn repo. The second package was the first one uploaded to AUR, but it have been last updated 25 Aug 2009 and doesn't contain libftdi dependence. I think we should remove flashrom-dev and flashrom-svn-new and keep flashrom-svn (it has more votes after all). I did not contact the maintainer of the second package, but judging by the last date he updated his packages (25 Aug 2009), hopes that he will come and update flashrom-svn aren't big at all. So I suggest orphaning the package as well. Thanks in advance. P.S.: should we even keep a possibly unstable version of an utility that may erase your BIOS is another question (:

by Laurent Carlier 01 Jul '10

01 Jul '10

Hi, my name is Laurent Carlier (lordheavy). I would like to become a TU, so decided to go through the first step : find a sponsor; I'm a linux user since '98, archer for about 2 years now (i've got some mandrake/debian/LFS/openbsd/...) and i'm adept of free software and KISS philosophy. Got knowledges about c/c++/bash/autotools/cmake/git/svn/..., and currently an active developper of the gambas project. I maintain some packages in aur see http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?SeB=m&K=lordheavy . I've proposed a PKGBUILD for a splitted gambas2 package see http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/19318 Feel free for questions :-) Regards, LordHeavy

01 Jul '10

Hi, I'm the maintener of Opera-qt3. The new version is out (opera 10.60) and no longer depend on qt. So users will be able to build the package maintain by ruario (opera employe) with Qt3 or whatever toolkit the want. This package is no longer needed. So may I ask some admin to delete my package? Here : http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=21390 Thanks you.
