Can somebody delete pidgin-toolbar: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=38546 I am currently working on it, and in my opinion, the package should be named pidgin-toobars since that is what the author of the plugin calls it. My package will be called pidgin-toobars Thanks

[aur-general] Spux-svn should be removed
by Final Crisis 14 Sep '10

14 Sep '10

The Spux (ventrilo client) project is dead and another project, Mangler (also on aur already), has taken its place. The pkgbuild for spux-svn naturally has been long since dead, and should be removed.

[aur-general] Naming: qtscrob vs. qtscrobbler
by Simon Legner 14 Sep '10

14 Sep '10

Hi all, I'd like to hear your opinion on the naming of the AUR packages [1] of the QTScrobbler application [2]. The oldest package is "qtscrob" referring to the URL of the sourceforge page and the source code archive name. Although the name of the application stated on the homepage is "QTScrobbler". When I wanted to install the application in March 2010, I searched for "qtscrobbler" on AUR and obviously didn't find the package "qtscrob". Therefore I packaged myself and submitted the packages "qtscrobbler" and "qtscrobbler-cli". When I noticed the duplication I wrote a removal request to the mailing list [3], which was forgotten after a short discussion. (I submitted "qtscrob-cli" as a copy of "qtscrobbler-cli" for conformance having the removal of qtscrobbler* in mind.) The current situation is of course dissatisfying. I'd like to know whether the application name should be preferred over the short name. I don't mind about the maintainership of the packages. Regards, Simon (simon04) [1] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?O=0&K=qtscrob&do_Search=Go [2] http://qtscrob.sourceforge.net/ [3] http://www.mail-archive.com/aur-general@archlinux.org/msg07211.html

[aur-general] gimp-devel-source
by Nathan O 14 Sep '10

gimp-devel-source http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=31926 looks almost the same as http://repos.archlinux.org/wsvn/packages/gimp-devel/repos/extra-i686/PKGBUI… difference I seen was in gimp-devel-source at the ./configure line --disable-devel-docs seems to be about the same in my opinion.
