[aur-general] Merge reuest: microchip-mplab_bin to microchip-mplabx-bin
by BxS 17 Dec '11

17 Dec '11

Dear TUs, Please remove microchip-mplab_bin(1) and merge to microchip-mplabx-bin(2), the main reason is the name and version, the 'x' was represented in (1) as v10, this worked during the beta version, but now the final version is out and is being proclaimed as v1.00 with MPLAB X as name. Thanks, and keep the good work. Best Regards, BxS (1) https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=52704 (2) https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=55048

[aur-general] removal request (fossil-fossil)
by Gour 16 Dec '11

16 Dec '11

Hi! Orphaned and mostly obsolete since there is fossil package, so I believe it can be removed: fossil-fossil: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=44775 Sincerely, Gour -- One who restrains the senses of action but whose mind dwells on sense objects certainly deludes himself and is called a pretender. http://atmarama.net | Hlapicina (Croatia) | GPG: 52B5C810

Hi, pull everything you need from the server or wait until it gets online. I'm moving forums and wiki on alderaan because the "new" one has problems. -- Ionuț

[aur-general] Deletion request: alot
by Philipp Überbacher 15 Dec '11

15 Dec '11

Hi there, the package 'alot' https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=51503 should be deleted since it checks out from git. I wrote and uploaded a replacement PKGBUILD with the proper name 'alot-git'. There actually is a release tarball and I'll write a PKGBUILD for that shortly if no one beats me to it. This release will then carry the name 'alot' as it should be. Regards, Philipp

[aur-general] Removal request
by Karol Blazewicz 14 Dec '11

14 Dec '11

There was a discussion about Abandonware in the AUR [1] but it seems nothing much came out of it. Even if we don't have an official rule about this, I would like to request a couple packages removed: * alone-in-the-dark-1 https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=46692 * battle-chess https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=46739 * space-quest-1 https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=46928 * the-incredible-machine-1 https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=46491 Each of these games can be purchased, see the forum thread [2].

[aur-general] Christmas cleanup of [community]
by Alexander Rødseth 14 Dec '11

14 Dec '11

Season's greetings, As December the 13th is approaching, I would like to extend a hand, to invite you all to a Christmas cleaning of our packages. As you may, or may not know, December the 13th is the longest night of the year, at least it were said to be so, before the Gregorian calender was introduced. If everything is not ready before Christmas, a group of restless dead souls will come at night and vandalize your property. [1] [2] Also, the 13th of December is the date for several highly memorable events, which contributes to making it an appropriate date for a deadline for adopting orphans in [community] (before moving them to unsupported the 14th): * Pope Celestine V resigned the papacy, 13th of December 1294, after only five months. He was the third pope in history to resign voluntarily. Benedict IX resigned in May 1040, but soon regretted it, and returned to papacy. The reason for Pope Celestine V to resign was to hope to return to his previous life as an ascetic hermit. [3] * Malta became a republic within the Commonwealth of Nations, the 13th of December 1974. This occasion is marked every year as Republic Day (Maltese: Jum ir-Repubblika). [4] * Erik XIV, king of Sweden and ruler of Estonia was born, the 13th of December 1533. Unfortunately, he got mentally ill at the end of eight year of rule and was murdered, probably with arsenic. [5] * Robert Plot, the author of "Natural History of Staffordshire", was born the 13th of December 1960. He was the first man to describe the Abbots Bromley Horn Dance, an English folk dance involving reindeer antlers and a hobby horse. The event takes place each year in Abbots Bromley, a small village in Staffordshire, England. [6] [7] * Niccolò Fontana Tartaglia, the first man to apply mathematics to the investigation of the paths of cannonballs, died the 13th of December 1557. His work was later validated by Galileo's studies on falling bodies. [8] * Ana Justina Ferreira Néri, considered to be the first Brazilian nurse, were born the 13th of December 1814. [9] With this freshly in mind, I hope there remains no doubt that this is the perfect date to gather up all the orphans for a big package cleanup. After the 13th of December (the 14th of December, then), we (TU's) will move all packages that are still orphans from [community] to unsupported (AUR). Maintaining [community] and unsupported are part of our mission. [10] For maintainers everywhere, giving extra care and attention to packages that are merely flagged is also looked upon with good favor, of course. That also goes for deleting or orphaning AUR packages that hasn't been working for a while (say, for the last 6 months). I hope you're all with me on this, and that we can stand together, as one, to move all orphans to unsupported and shed some dead weight from AUR. I'll end this with two perfectly suitable and hand-picked inspirational quotes: "Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do." - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe "The only way of finding the limits of the possible is by going beyond them into the impossible." - Arthur C. Clarke -- Happy Saint Lucy's Day, Alexander Rødseth Arch Linux Trusted User (xyproto on IRC, trontonic on AUR) References: Sorry, there are no available English translation for these: [1] http://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oskorei [2] http://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luciadagen#Eldre_Luciafeiring But, these are in English: [3] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Celestine_V [4] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republic_Day_%28Malta%29#13_December_in_Malta [5] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_XIV_of_Sweden [6] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Plot [7] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abbots_Bromley_Horn_Dance [8] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niccolo_Fontana_Tartaglia [9] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ana_N%C3%A9ri [10] http://aur.archlinux.org/trusted-user/TUbylaws.html#Mission
