[aur-general] Inactivity
by Lukáš Jirkovský 04 Mar '11

04 Mar '11

Hello everyone! I just want to let you know that I'll be partially inactive for some time now. Seems like my motherboard in my Arch box is breaking down (I can't turn off my computer and worse – it seems to generate lots of SATA errors and it even broke my FS once) so I'll not be able to (re)build my packages until I get a replacement. I'll still be available via email though. Have a nice day, Lukas

[aur-general] orphan request
by Marcin Karpezo 23 Feb '11

23 Feb '11

Hi! 0verkill package in AUR (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=12753) needs to be fixed due to lack of x86_64 support, but it seems that current maintainer isn't interested in it (last update: Sun, 30 Nov 2008 11:54:05 +0000). Can I pick it up? -- Regards, Marcin Karpezo Editor in chief of JakiLinux http://jakilinux.org

[aur-general] new aur mirror
by keenerd 08 Feb '11

08 Feb '11

Hi all. I am now mirroring the AUR continuously, and am starting to open it up to public access. It is not a perfect byte-for-byte clone, as I felt like adding a few features :-) For now, there is an enhanced RPC database. It's got everything from the original RPC calls, plus some extra fields that people always seem to want. Access it through http://aur.kmkeen.com/rpc/name_of_package Yes, it is 100% static. This was the only way my little VPS could keep up with the beastly Sigurd machine. I've also got all the tarballs mirrored, but forgot to add the links to the RPC info (mirror/pkgname/pkgname.tar.gz). Will fix that shortly. There are also search indexes prepared for description, depends and required-by but the regex search is not open to the world yet. Maybe after I get some sleep. Much thanks goes to Falconindy for ideas, encouragement and patience. I am currently taking feature requests. Go wild. -Kyle http://kmkeen.com

[aur-general] poppler 0.16 rebuild
by Ionuț Bîru 01 Feb '11

01 Feb '11

Hi, the rebuilding is almost over and was already moved from staging to testing in the morning, the only package that doesn't build is openscenegraph and is not related to poppler api breakage. Sergej can you look at it and try to fix it? -- Ionuț

[aur-general] Moving avr-gdb from aur to community
by Ivan Sichmann Freitas 01 Feb '11

01 Feb '11

Hi, Could the package avr-gdb, from aur, be moved to community? There are already many avr-* packages there (like gcc-avr, avr-libc and binutils-avr). I've talked to djszapi, it seems that it hasn't been moved because he was maintaining it on aur. It is currently out-of-date, but removing the patch and changing the version to 7.2 builds a working package. Regards, Ivan -- Ivan Sichmann Freitas Linux user #509059

What's the issue with having 2.0.10 in unsupported? It's not in *-testing either, so there was no reason for this? regards mar77i

[aur-general] Please delete lib32-printproto
by merp boop 31 Jan '11

31 Jan '11

Unless you all see a better reason, I think it should be deleted. It would be pulling the same files as the x86_64 version (as they're both from "any"), so any package in reference to this one should use printproto instead, even if the package is a 32-bit binary blob on a 64-bit system. -Max

[aur-general] Temporary Inactivity
by Jonathan Conder 31 Jan '11

31 Jan '11

Hi everyone, I'm off to the beach again and won't be back until Monday. This time there is something on my todo list, which is to move the mythplugins-* packages from community-testing into community once libmysqlclient is updated. If this happens while I'm away it would be great if someone could do that for me. If not, it doesn't matter that much because the only package it will break is mythplugins-mythzoneminder, which I doubt is used by many people. Thanks, Jonathan
