[aur-general] Please delete rl

Hi, I don't know if this qualifies for deletion but according to the website the project is dead. The author recommends using `shuf` which is in coreutils. Kaiting. -- Kiwis and Limes: http://kaitocracy.blogspot.com/

[aur-general] algoscore
by Nathan O 25 Aug '10

25 Aug '10

I am trying to get algoscore to work http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=23577 but so far everything I have tried gives me a problem. Using the makepkg -sf gives that there is a reference to the $srcdir and namcap gives algoscore E: Insecure RPATH '/home/ndowens/Aur/algoscore/src/AlgoScore/src/build/nasal' in file ('usr/bin/algoscore')

[aur-general] A slew of deprecated packages (none of which are mine)
by fasdfsa fsadfsaf 25 Aug '10

25 Aug '10

Hi TUs and... other people(?), So I got this nice list of unneeded packages in AUR that should be removed. None of these are mine so I don't know how justified my suggestions are - at least they've not been updated for some time and there is a replacement for most of them. First off let's stare "xorg-server-xephyr": http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=15438 The option "--enable-xephyr" is included in the official [extra]'s xorg-server so this package is not needed. This I'm not too sure about, "xorg-server-antidesktop": http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=23750 <http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=23750>I guess it's purpose is to start up with a blank screen.. but that should be the case these days anyway(?) xorg-server-catalyst: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=26728 There's "xorg-server-1.7-catalyst-maximize-fix", "xorg-server-1.8-catalyst-maximize-fix" and "xorg-server-catalyst-maximize-fix" in AUR so this one is not needed. xorg-server-gentoo: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=15089 Currently there are only these two tiny patches in the Gentoo's X server which are to 'disable ACPI' and 'prefer nouveau over nv'. At least it's a lot less than 'Joekey' (the maintainer) is happy to update for. songbird-bin: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/songbird-bin/songbird-bin/PKGBUILD, songbird-stable-bin: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=33050 I had to laugh when I saw this. These two PKGBUILDs are virtually _identical_. Why an earth would we need both? Actually the "songbird" package's PKGBUILD should be replaced with either one of those (it currently holds a non-working version of the songbird-svn package... for whatever reason) and then the two others removed (I mean _I think_ that's how it should be done). All that songbird-nightly* stuff should be removed too. In AUR there should be only the old stable Songbird (songbird), a SVN version (songbird-svn), a nightly version (songbird-nightly) and a bleeding edge one (being alpha/beta/rc) (songbird-beta). But only "songbird-svn" exists and works. "Songbird-auto-nightly" and "songbird-auto-beta" should just be moved to as "songbird-nightly" and "songbird-beta" (I take it this can only happen by telling the maintainer, ilikenwf, to upload those packages with the simplified name and then the former ones could be removed) and songbird(-stable)-bin "changed" to "songbird". It'd be _nice_ to also have the "xorg-server*-catalyst-maximize-fix" packages changed to just "xorg-server*-catalyst" but that's probably not worth it taken the "conflicts=()" changes with other PKGBUILDs, the removals of the formerly named package and other stuff like that... Thanks for your time, 'Det'

[aur-general] Quality
by Nathan O 24 Aug '10

24 Aug '10

Hey I was wondering if somebody has time to look at my packages and see if they are of quality :) Some I adopted and got to add my name and email as maintainer and update the quality of it. The ones with my name and email are already updated. If you look you may see ndowens04 at gmail dot com or ndowens04+AUR at gmail dot com I may end up adding this email to the packages, I created this email address for AUR purposes so my main email address doesn't get cluttered. Thanks

[aur-general] At last, clean multilib support
by Thomas Bächler 24 Aug '10

24 Aug '10

Jan Steffens and me spent the this weekend putting together a multilib toolchain and a clean lib32-glibc package. I wanted to do this for at least two years, and we finally managed to do it on FrOSCon now. This is the plan of attack on this: * Maintain the PKGBUILDs in svn-community/${pkgname}/trunk/ * Create a separate repo 'multilib', (svn-community/${pkgname}/repos/multilib-x86_64) * Remove ALL multilib packages from community. Do NOT mix pure 64 bit with multilib. All multilib must go into the new multilib repository. * Rebuild all multilib packages with the multilib compiler to solve the numerous problems encountered by the hackish "copy our 32 bit packages into another path" approach. * Find TUs and Devs willing to work on multilib (please add your name to https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Multilib_Project) Any comments are welcome. We will upload the multilib packages and PKGBUILDs into a small test repository in a minute for review.

[aur-general] removal request
by Lukáš Jirkovský 24 Aug '10

jdownloader-openjdk (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=35966) is basically a duplicate of the jdownloader package. The only difference is that jdownloader-openjdk has a dependency on openjdk6 and jdownloader on java-runtime (which is better). Lukas
