[aur-general] Aurphan in community
by keenerd 06 May '11

06 May '11

I would like to move Aurphan into community. I've added a number of features to it lately, and it has become an automated means of answering "what can I do to help Arch", parsing and summarizing the todo list, the bugtracker and the orphans. The one random dev I've asked seems cool with it, however he thought a wider consensus should be found. It has enough votes but.... Aurphan could be considered an AUR helper. By default it searches the AUR for AUR packages you already have installed. It does not download anything. I will change it so the default behavior does not search the AUR. (New default would display the --help) I won't change the name, on account of it being cute. aur page: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=43726 project page: http://kmkeen.com/aurphan/ -Kyle http://kmkeen.com

[aur-general] Leave of absence
by Thomas S Hatch 03 May '11

03 May '11

I will be unavailable for a few days next week. Last year I had a surgery which left my left vocal chord paralyzed. Unfortunately my vocal chord has not healed and I am going to have to get a silicone implant in my voice box so that I can talk again. My surgery is on Monday the 25th and I will be resting up for a few days afterward before resuming regular TU work. As for my fellow TUs, if my packages are out of date please feel free to update them, but I will be back soon! If you are interested here is a link describing the procedure: http://www.evmsent.org/uvfi_treat.asp -Thomas S Hatch -Arch Linux Trusted User

## GNOME 3.0.1 is being moved in [extra] This is a major update and you should take note of a couple of things: * GNOME3 is replacing GNOME2 * GNOME3 has two modes, "standard" mode (gnome-shell) and "fallback" mode (gnome-panel + metacity) * Some packages, like applets using Bonobo, will be dropped in the next few days. A list will be available at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GNOME_3/Packages_dropped * pulseaudio is now required to run the GNOME desktop Update and installation instructions are available at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GNOME_3 Only bugs related to packaging should be reported to http://bugs.archlinux.org/ Crashes and feature requests should be reported to https://bugzilla.gnome.org/ -- Ionuț

[aur-general] What happened to haskell-ghc-paths?
by Peter Simons 29 Apr '11

29 Apr '11

Hi, it appears that the package 'haskell-ghc-paths' has been removed from AUR. Is there a particular reason why that was done? I would have expected the package to be removed because it's been moved to [extra] or something, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Take care, Peter

[aur-general] Please delete cairo-tee and cairo-xcb-tee
by Oon-Ee Ng 29 Apr '11

29 Apr '11

cairo in [extra] already has tee support. cairo-tee[1] and cairo-xcb-tee[2] can be deleted. Maintainer for [2] has said as much, and [1] has no maintainer since the previous maintainer disowned it once [extra] got cairo with --enable-tee. [1] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=45693 is cairo-tee [2] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=45772 is cairo-xcb-tee
