[aur-general] TU Application - Massimiliano Torromeo
by Massimiliano Torromeo 17 Oct '11

17 Oct '11

Hi, Sven-Hendrik Haase is sponsoring my application as a trusted user. I thought about applying as a TU for some time now, I think the selection of packages provided by Arch is already great but there is always space for additional quality software in community and I hope to help with that. Here's a little background about myself: I'm a 28yr old italian guy, working as a system administrator and developer at a company that provides web-services, hosting and housing solutions. I first tried linux out of curiosity back when Mandriva was still called Mandrake, but I didn't like it at all and the RPM system made me cry tears of blood. I didn't linux again for a couple of years and then I tried gentoo. I was at my last year of high school and, being already a developer at heart, I wasn't scared but rather really interested by its packaging system that required extensive time of compilation but providing extreme customization possibilities at the same time. That was the time when I finally dropped Windows for good and I kept using gentoo for years as my primary os, while only checking out other distros every once in a while. In all this years I tried many other distributions both out of personal curiosity and for work: Suse, Red Hat, Fedora, CentOS, [K]Ubuntu, Mint, Debian, Slackware, Oracle Linux and of course Arch! plus some BSDs (FreeBSD and Mac OSX), but I still like Arch the best. Like I said, I am a developer at heart and I released some applications [1] as opensource, first as GPL but I then became more of a BSD/MIT guy. The most successful of them all has been a grafical frontend for embedded devices such as gaming handhelds which I developed (using SDL/C++) initially for the GP2X [2] but was later ported to many other devices by other developers/communities, called GMenu2X [3]. I am a confident developer who loves the Python language, but I also user very often PHP, C++, Bash (for scripts of course) and other languages. My work as a system administrator involves installing and configuring machines (Arch based whenever possible) with a variety of server softwares, and that's where I will probably focus as a TU. I already maintain a private repository of packages that help me keep the aforementioned machines up-to-date. >From this packages I selected an initial list of what I plan to move to community: - percona-server - mariadb (refactored to replace mysql, unlike the one in AUR. See [4]) - nagios-nrpe - nagios-plugins - nmon - ttf-ubuntu-font-family - rt3562sta - arp-scan - e4rat - mtop - php-mongo - pngcrush - supervisor - vdfuse - vbox-runner You can see on the AUR [5] and on github [6] that I have written already a pretty long list of PKGBUILDs including the popular dropbox. If you have any question, just ask. Thanks!

Hi, since version 2.7.* Python(x,y) is no longer distributed in separate packages (light,basic and full) and there is no eclipse bundled anymore. Because of this, package python2-xy replaces all other python2-xy-* packages. I'd like to ask for removal of: python2-xy-noeclipse https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=48847 python2-xy-basic https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=48845 python2-xy-light https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=48844 Thanks, Andrzej.

[aur-general] Remove `emacs-ocaml-mode`
by Sergei Lebedev 11 Oct '11

11 Oct '11

While `emacs-ocaml-mode` [*] is part of the OCaml distribution it's not included in the `ocaml` package (for reasons unknown) and can only be installed from AUR. So, why remove? * orphaned package; unsupported for more than a year * can be installed from Marmalade repository via `package.el` [1] * can be installed via `el-get` [2] * everybody's using `tuareg-mode` [3] anyway :) So, what do you guys think? --Sergei [*] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=11629 [1] http://marmalade-repo.org/packages/caml [2] https://github.com/dimitri/el-get/blob/master/recipes/caml-mode.rcp [3] https://forge.ocamlcore.org/projects/tuareg/
