[aur-general] want to adopt nodejs-git
by Alper Kanat 25 May '11

25 May '11

Hey There, I wanted to adopt nodejs-git package so sent an e-mail to its maintainer dongsheng yesterday but he hasn't replied yet. The package is outdated for a while now and some other package node-git etc are pushed to AUR. So to maintain the package, I'd like to adopt it if possible. My username on AUR is: alperkanat Thanks! --- Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

[aur-general] GDeskCal
by pauline martin 25 May '11

I don't know if this project has been discontinued or not, but it is flagged as out of date and I have spent a good amount of time trying to find somewhere to download the most recent release. I was not able to find a link anwhere to download the source from the website: http://customize.org/gDeskCal . If I could be pointed in the right direction for the source code of this project if it is still alive that would be wonderful. It looks like a wonderful application and at least two other packages in the AUR depend upon it so I would love to get it updated or if it is a dead project to get it removed from the AUR. The package is in the AUR as gdeskcal and the two packages that I found that depend on it are: gdeskcal-skins and gdeskcal-skin-simple. Of the three only one is being currently maintained. I would be willing to maintain the other two if they are not a dead project. That one maintained project is using sources from a different site than the main project is hosted on. The maintainer is Syntheed. If I am reading the source right his sources are from freebsd, so it is not of any help locating the original program if it is still in development.

I would suggest to delete the crossover-games-unsupported package, because there is no crossover beta package at the moment. Roland

The package crossover-pro is already a long time out of date. I would overtake it. The current maintainer isn't responding. ;) Roland

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I would like to suggest deletion of jap [1] and jap-dev [2].

[aur-general] The Unarchiver and provides field
by Cédric Girard 23 May '11

23 May '11

Hi, I'm maintaining The Unarchiver PKGBUILD [1] in the AUR. The Unarchiver is an objective-c application for uncompressing archive file. This is AFAIK the only free implementation of RARv3 format. As this application provides an unrar functionnality, does it make sense to add a "provides=('unrar')" field in the PKGBUILD? The Unarchiver is not a drop-in replacement for the "unrar" command. The binary are not the same and the syntax is different. -- Cédric Girard

[aur-general] php52 package dropped from [community]
by Evangelos Foutras 21 May '11

21 May '11

Hi all, I've gone ahead and removed the package that provided PHP 5.2. Upstream dropped support for it at the beginning of the current year, so I also didn't upload it to the AUR. If anyone was still on PHP 5.2, please upgrade to 5.3 using the packages in [extra]. :) Cheers.
