by Luca Bennati 22 Sep '10

I stumbled upon this package which is outdate, orphan and requested to be deleted: kde4icons-mib-ossigeno http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=38511 As a side note: doing a search on AUR for "kde" selecting orphans-only and outdated-only options, i got an enormous list of packages that date back to kde3 and are almost everyone in need to be deleted (jost some rare case are actually to be updated). What to do?

[aur-general] Move network-ups-tools to AUR
by Thorsten Töpper 21 Sep '10

21 Sep '10

Hello, network-ups-tools is long orphaned and since the version bump I did in spring we have an open ticket[1] not one of us could fix. I asked Roman who once maintained it, but he said he could not "provide any useful opinion here". So from my point of view, we can't do something about it, no one of us uses this software so it's better to give it to the AUR where people with the hardware can do something about it. Your opinion please.

[aur-general] Package removal from [community]
by Jakob Gruber 20 Sep '10

20 Sep '10

Hi, while going through the python rebuild, I came across a few packages which could be removal candidates: Dead sources: driconf openlh-client openlh-core openlh-server python-geotypes (could be temporary, see http://initd.org/) python-psycopg1 (could be temporary, see http://initd.org/) subdl tango-generator Broken builds: canorus gimpshop libdesktop-agnostic (awn-extras-applets depends on this) python-scipy Maybe somebody could take a look at fixing canorus/libdesktop-agnostic/python- scipy builds. Any opinions on removal of all other packages? schuay

[aur-general] Fwd: AUR Comment for gedit-plugins-extra
by Evangelos Foutras 19 Sep '10

19 Sep '10

I removed it from [community] because upstream stopped updating the plugin collection around two years ago. Most of the plugins included in the last release (2.24.1) are badly outdated by now. The preferable course of action is to add individual packages to the AUR for each of the plugins. (Packages for the latex and autotab plugins already exist.) ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: <aur-notify(a)archlinux.org> Date: Sun, Sep 19, 2010 at 9:22 PM Subject: AUR Comment for gedit-plugins-extra To: from http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=16505 bernarcher wrote: Is this alive anymore?

[aur-general] Inactivity: schiv
by Ray Rashif 19 Sep '10

Hi guys I'll be departing for a 7-day rural project in a couple of hours. Due to weight/space/carrying-capacity limitations I cannot bring along a laptop. I really believe it'll be out in the middle of nowhere, so the chances for computers, let alone Internet, are 0. As far as [extra] is concerned, there are no pending TODO tasks or flagged packages. None of the rebuilds for [community] has been completed, as I was waiting for community-staging. I have built some of them locally but they are not up in any of the servers or reflected in svn. I wish to complete all these remaining tasks after I get back, but if it's really urgent that they get done, please do help me out. Thanks! Regards -- GPG/PGP ID: B42DDCAD

[aur-general] Move psyco from [community] to [unsupported]?
by Christopher Brannon 18 Sep '10

* It won't build with Python 2.7. * It only supports i686. * Nothing depends on it. * Apparently, pypy is now preferred. Any objections? -- Chris
