[aur-general] AUR cleanup
by Nicola Bignami 20 Nov '11

20 Nov '11

I see that there are more than 6700 orphan packages. Of those, more than 2400 are also flagged out of date (some packages have not been updated since 2007). Many packages are only waiting for a new maintainer but I think that many are only waiting to be scrapped as they're already been replaced by some other package in the AUR or in the community repository (or just become obsolete). I'm wondering if the time has come to look into them to find out what worth to keep and what have to be removed and thus do some cleanup. If can be useful, I can start working on it.

[aur-general] [merge request] coolreader
by Anton Larionov 20 Nov '11

20 Nov '11

I moved all CoolReader packages to 'coolreader'-name. Please, merge this packages: coolreader3 (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=40756) -> coolreader (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=54042) Wrong name, outdated for 3 month. cr3-qt4 (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=40761) -> coolreader-git (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=54156) Wrong name, original maintainer agreed (orphaned). coolreader3-git (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=53660) -> coolreader-git (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=54156) Wrong name. I was unable to contact with maintainer, but when this package was uploaded its already duplicate 'cr3-qt4'. -- Regards, Anton Larionov

[aur-general] arista: duplicate aur package
by Final Crisis 19 Nov '11

19 Nov '11

The package 'arista' in aur appears to be obsoleted by the package 'arista-transcoder'. The former should probably be removed, as it hasn't been updated/maintained in a very long time. Thanks :)

[aur-general] Remove two of my dated packages & picking up an abandoned one.
by Jason 17 Nov '11

17 Nov '11

I mistakenly posted this to AUR-Dev earlier and was pointed here. Two quick things: 1. I have two old packages I'd like to get removed from the AUR: gwclient32 & gwclient64. They were my first attempt at doing stuff in the AUR and I later made a single dual architecture PKGBUILD, which I'm still maintaining (gwclient). 2. I'd like to become the maintainer for citrix-client, and remove bin32-citrix-client entirely. I needed this for work and made a single PKDBUILD for both architectures, which I've attached here as a tarball (Though I haven't tested the 32 bit version, in fairness). I emailed the current maintainer approx two weeks ago (It hasn't been updated in about a year) about picking up the package and that failed to ellicit a response. Cheers, -- ~Jason
