[aur-general] Should nvidia(-beta)-all replace all the other nvidia-* packages in the AUR?
by Det 01 Apr '11

01 Apr '11

Helloooo, So I've been thinking about this for some time now and I finally decided to ask the ones who know the best: would it be enough to only have 'nvidia-beta-all' and 'nvidia-all' in the AUR to replace all those nvidia-ice, nvidia-bfs, eg. packages? (Decluding nvidia-utils*, of course.) As far as I can think of, I can't see any downside(s) (whatsoever) of using those *-all packages instead of those 'specifc-kernel' packages, since they do in fact auto-detect all the kernels on the system. Now to the important part: what do you think? Det

[aur-general] Dealing with python-* versus python2-* packages
by Aaron DeVore 01 Apr '11

01 Apr '11

I started maintaining some Python 2 packages that currently use the python- prefix, but need to be renamed to use python2-. Python 3 versions will soon come out, so I don't want people using the python-* package until then. I want to still have the packages in the AUR so that someone doesn't accidentally recreate the python-* package. How do I make sure that people don't use the python-* packages until it's appropriate? -Aaron DeVore

[aur-general] Deletion request: gtk3
by Károly Pados 01 Apr '11

I created a basic gtk3 package in AUR, though later I noticed that there is a gnome-unstable repository, with gtk3 in it. Please delete my gtk3 package in AUR, I don't want it to start conflicting with gnome-unstable things and it is also redundant as it turns out. So I guess it is probably unwanted, or else let me know and I'll keep maintaining it until it gets stable. Thank you and sorry for the trouble.

[aur-general] orphan and deletion requests (stormlib and stormlib-linux)
by william 56 31 Mar '11

i am requesting that stormlib become orphaned, and stormlib-linux be deleted. stormlib-linux (21638) appears to be a duplicate of stormlib (21634), and both packages are unbuildable, as the stormlib source archive which both aur packages compile from has been altered. i sent an email to the package maintainer, zarra (8415), regarding updating his packages, and have yet to receive a response. also, a user commented on the stormlib package with an updated PKGBUILD file on september 23, 2010, though it appeared to go unnoticed by the maintainer. thanks, arch users!

[aur-general] svn and git package
by Axilleas P 30 Mar '11

Is it ok if I upload a package-git if there already is a package-svn in the AUR? Practically the git repo is a mirror of the svn one. I'm talking about clementine-svn in particular. -- (\_ /) copy the bunny to your profile (0.o ) to help him achieve world domination. (> <) come join the dark side. /_|_\ (we have cookies.)

[aur-general] Dropping multiget
by Stefan Husmann 29 Mar '11

29 Mar '11

Hello, I would like to drop the multiget package from [community] for the following reasons. - the tarball does not build. The error consist in a missing header file and was reported twice on upstream bugtracker without an answer - the latest svn-checkout builds, but the revision number is still low, it is 3. So what do you think? Should I upload a svn-based PKGBUILD or drop the package? In svn there is a desktop file, which never made it to the tarball. This would at least allow me to remove multiget from the list in FS#23387. Regards Stefan
