[aur-general] I can not maintain my packages anymore, liquidsoap & some ocaml dependencies
by Luciano A. Ferrer 03 Jan '11

Hi guys, gals! Unfortunately I can not maintain my packages anymore, it is liquidsoap[1] and some ocaml dependencies of it (in fact, I am not using them anymore...) You can see the list here: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?SeB=m&K=luuuciano Maybe some of you want to own them, or a few of them? No idea what it is the best way to do it, I will just Disown them now? In the other hand, Thomas S Hatch sent an email to ocaml packagers[2] Best regards and wishes! luciano [1] http://savonet.sourceforge.net/ [2] Hello, I am the new ocaml findlib maintainer and I just letting the maintainers of ocaml packages know that I have changed some of the behavior of findlib to fix some issues. These changes should not break your packages, but I am asking that the ocaml package developers change their packages to reflect these changes, and I just want them to be aware of them since it changes a lot of PKGBUILDs in the long run. Thanks for your packages! https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/OCaml_Package_Guidelines

[aur-general] GMPC packages, bundle and singular
by Joel Heaton 03 Jan '11

03 Jan '11

Hi all, I just have a query about these, before I spend some time adopting and updating a bunch of them. In AUR, there are two packages that provide almost all of the GMPC plugins as far as I can see; gmpc-plugins and gmpc-plugins-git: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=29603 http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=23457 There are a number of plugins packaged separately in the AUR as shown here: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?O=0&K=gmpc&do_Search=Go&detail=1&C=0&… Now, neither gmpc-plugins nor gmpc-plugins-git provide all of the plugins listed, though they do cover most. Are the others okay to exist in case people only want one or two rather than the whole package, or should they be removed because they are provided by another package? I'd just like to clear this up before I go ahead and do anything/nothing. Kind regards, Joel.

[aur-general] tenshi
by Florian Pritz 02 Jan '11

I noticed tenshi [1] hasn't been updated for quite a while and I'd like to maintain it (and perl-io-bufferedselect which is a dependency in newer versions and not yet in AUR/repos) in community if 1) the current maintainer is okay with that and 2) three TUs agree because it sadly doesn't satisfy the 10 votes or 1% usage rule. I've got a working PKGBUILD for 0.12 and I'm already using it on my systems. In case I can't move it to community I'll publish that later. CC'ing the current maintainer (Ryan).

[aur-general] OCaml Findlib changes
by Thomas S Hatch 02 Jan '11

02 Jan '11

Hello, I am the new ocaml findlib maintainer and I just letting the maintainers of ocaml packages know that I have changed some of the behavior of findlib to fix some issues. These changes should not break your packages, but I am asking that the ocaml package developers change their packages to reflect these changes, and I just want them to be aware of them since it changes a lot of PKGBUILDs in the long run. The changes are small, but outlined in this wiki entry: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/OCaml_Package_Guidelines My hope is to clean up and standardize OCaml packages and make it as nice as other language libs like haskell. Thanks for your packages! -Thomas S Hatch
