Hi, I'd like to submit this package to the AUR but, as it's my first package, I'd like some reviews of the package before I send it. Thanks ! Sebastien Duthil

[aur-general] Please delete evolution-added-plugins
by Ng Oon-Ee 13 Jan '11

13 Jan '11

I uploaded it [1] then realized it would be better to follow the way Debian packages it. For background, Gnome Evolution has some 'experimental' (read: unmaintained) plugins in its source which are not installed by default. Package [1] was my initial attempt to compile them, and was meant as a replacement for evolution in [extra]. I realized though that the Debian package was only a few kb (only containing the plugin), so I uploaded [2] which follows the same name as Debian/Ubuntu and only contains the plugin, with a versioned dependency on evolution. So in conclusion, [2] replaces and is better than [1], please delete [1] =) [1] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=45345 [2] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=45346

[aur-general] Please delete syncevolution-bin
by Ng Oon-Ee 13 Jan '11

13 Jan '11

Maintainer of [1] request that [2] be used instead. [2] is the proper way to install syncevolution and use it. Please delete [1]. I asked the maintainer to request it himself but no reply in almost 2 weeks. [1] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=38320 [2] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=19876

[aur-general] Community Cleanup 2011.
by Thomas Dziedzic 13 Jan '11

13 Jan '11

I would like to propose moving all of the orphans in [community] to the aur by this Friday if no one has adopted them by then. If one of your packages needs an orphan as a dependency, you must adopt it. Orphans really deserve a maintainer and I would be more comfortable with the package having a maintainer in the aur then being an orphan in [community]. Community orphans: http://tinyurl.com/29lp5r6 Thanks and let the discussion begin!

[aur-general] Packages up for adoption
by Gary Wright 12 Jan '11

12 Jan '11

Hello to everyone on the AUR mailing list. Sadly, my job doing desktop support has evaporated (along with most of the tech jobs around town), leaving me with much, much less time to tend over my packages. Its back to the menial retail life for me. But my loss is your gain! I was watching over a few packages in the AUR, but now am forced to disown them, due to lack of time and energy. (and a constant SSH connection to my boxes at home!) Here is a list of PKGBUILDS followed by how many votes they have: archdark-gdm-theme 0.2-2 120 baobab 2.4.2-2 254 gnomebaker 0.6.4-1 238 monkey 0.11.0-1 9 monkey-git 20100415-1 0 mt-daapd 0.2.4.2-6 36 win7multi-gdm-theme 10 By the time this email hits the repeater, they should be disowned. Feel free to contact me at wriggary at gmail if you have any questions about these packages. -Gary

[aur-general] Package removal
by Mathieu Pasquet 12 Jan '11

12 Jan '11

Hi, Could you please remove: - poezio-svn (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=34633) (moved to hg yesterday, so it’s useless) - testalgo (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=30407) because it’s useless, in java, and I added it on the aur only because several of my comrades (also Arch users) needed this - python-sleekxmp-patched-git (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=41168) because the patch that was needed in this branch has been merged. Thanks in advance.

[aur-general] Anybody want apvlv?
by Brad Fanella 11 Jan '11

11 Jan '11

So with the recent release of apvlv 0.1.0, I have decided to drop maintaining it. I believe it now supports UMD file reading of some sort, and this requires the whole the PSP toolchain to be packaged and submitted to the repo, which is something I have no interest in doing whatsoever, as I haven't even used the software in months. Any takers (TUs of course)? Regards, Brad

by Daniele Paolella 11 Jan '11

11 Jan '11

Please delete the package jack-audio-connection-kit-dbus (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=22535). I uploaded the new release as jack-dbus (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=45254), for consistency with jack in [extra], jack2 and jack2-dbus in [community].
