[aur-general] Removal request for teamspeak3-beta29-2
by Federico Chiacchiaretta 18 Sep '10

18 Sep '10

Hi all, I'm asking for removal of teamspeak-beta29-2 [1], it is a duplicate of teamspeak3, it has version in the name (even pkgver!), and maintainer agreed that it should be removed, but no request has been submitted in a week (see last comment on that page). Greetings. [1] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=40694

by Det 18 Sep '10

18 Sep '10

Helllooooooo, Please delete chromium-nogconf: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=35972 - the previous maintainer recommends to "install no-gconf and chromium from extra instead".

[aur-general] AUR/[extra]/[community] duplicates
by Lukas Fleischer 18 Sep '10

18 Sep '10

Hi, Just wrote a small script to check for duplicate package names in the AUR and the official repos and created a list of duplicates. For each of the packages I quickly checked AUR and [extra]/[community] package versions, AUR comments and whether there seem to be some additional patches in the AUR version. It might be better to double check tho... The following packages already are in [extra] and AUR versions seem to be equivalent or outdated: - gcin: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=39653 - gthumb: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=27129 - libwpg: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=25652 - perl-class-factory-util: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=25955 - perl-class-inspector: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=10540 - perl-datetime-format-builder: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=25956 - perl-datetime-format-strptime: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=9334 - perl-image-size: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=3286 - perl-time-hires: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=35514 - perl-xml-parser: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=40119 - v4l-utils: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=38218 - xpyb: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=19975 Following packages already are in [community] and AUR versions seem to be equivalent or outdated: - cadaver: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=8635 - cksfv: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=8688 - evas-svn: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=19315 - gpsbabel: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=37028 - kim4: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=38648 - ktoblzcheck: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=9104 - lwp: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=8703 - perl-parse-recdescent: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=36080 - pulseaudio-mixer-applet: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=24016 - qoauth: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=28485 - remmina: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=38933 - springlobby: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=39670 - urbanterror-data: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=21493 - winegame: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=37828 - winestuff: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=37829 - wmctrl: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=1294 - lib32-alsa-oss: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=12815 - lib32-ati-dri: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=29742 - lib32-intel-dri: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=24770 - lib32-libmng: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=20890 - lib32-libstdc++5: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=11191 Quite a few packages that are already in the official repos are maintained by the Arch Haskell team in the AUR. I'm not sure what to do with them. These packages include: - darcs: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=39679 - happy: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=26280 - gtk2hs-buildtools: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=37478 - haskell-cgi, haskell-dataenc, haskell-deepseq, haskell-extensible-exceptions, haskell-hashed-storage, haskell-haskeline, haskell-hunit, haskell-mmap, haskell-quickcheck, haskell-regex-base, haskell-regex-compat, haskell-regex-posix, haskell-stm, haskell-terminfo Following packages should probably stay in the AUR although they're duplicates, check AUR comments: - awesome: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=13038 - q4wine: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=36728 - sk1: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=16559 - sk1libs: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=35066 gadmin-samba (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=40599) seems to be newer than the package in [community] but the project homepage says the [community] package is still up-to-date. Maybe the AUR version is an unstable release? sleuthkit (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=2012) and the sleuthkit package in [community] seem to have some differences in the PKGBUILD. Not sure what to do, check AUR comments. So far... Hope that helps :) Regards, Lukas

[aur-general] Packages deletion request
by KESHAV P.R. 17 Sep '10

17 Sep '10

The following packages have to be removed from AUR nspluginwrapper-flash - http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=6232 nspluginwrapper-ubuntu - http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=14707 wine-stable - http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=35486 nspluginwrapper and wine are present in the multilib repo. I think nspluginwrapper-flash-prerelease http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=32081can be left alone since it provides prerelease versions, not stable releases. Regards. Keshav

Re: [aur-general] Flashplugin packages removal

>> flashplugin-native64 - >> http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=38184 > The old stable 64bit release, will be removed when we have it back in > the repo. There has never been any stable release of x86_64 flashplugin, the old plugin (with the security problems) was part of Adobe Labs and not a stable release. The source link in the flashplugin-native64 package does not work now and flashplugin-prereleas epackage works perfectly. >> flashplugin-dev - >> http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=32391 > Done, uploaded, never touched again. This package is not yet removed. It is too old and has not been updated for a long time. Regards. Keshav

[aur-general] Flashplugin packages removal
by KESHAV P.R. 16 Sep '10

16 Sep '10

I think the following packages have to be removed from AUR :- flashplugin-universal - http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=25402 lib32-flashplugin-prerelease - http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=37888 lib32-flashplugin - http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=15406 flashplugin-native64 - http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=38184 flashplugin-dev - http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=32391 The lib32 plugins are present in multilib repo (using nspluginwrapper). A new native x86_64 flashplugin preview has been released in Adobe labs and available through flashplugin-prerelease http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=32072 which replaces flashplugin-native64. ALl these packages have many votes though. Regards. Keshav
