[aur-general] Deletion request for pcsx2-bin and pcsx2-svn-bin
by rafael ff1 17 May '11

17 May '11

PCSX2 Dev Team provides pcsx2 in two ways: binary tarball and svn source code. I'd like to organize things up about this emulator in AUR: my plan is to have "pcsx2" [1] as binary package and "pcsx2-svn" [2] getting from source code. Considering that the maintainer of pcsx2-bin [3] does not update neither reply emails for more than a week and that pcsx2-svn-bin [4] is maintained by me and it's equal to pcsx2-bin, my request is to delete these two packages. Thanks in advance, Rafael (username: josephgbr) Links: [1] pcsx2 https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=10268 [2] pcsx2-svn https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=21899 [3] pcsx2-bin https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=33449 [4] pcsx2-svn-bin https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=31863

[aur-general] rodent, first upload
by Iñigo Álvarez 16 May '11

16 May '11

I did a new PKGBUILD of the rodent file manager. I really think, after discovering it in gentoo, it is a must be in arch. It consist in a very lightweight, but complete file manager, aimed to expert users which stick to the console. It permets using console commands, rigt-click diff, iso mounting and creating, and much more... I will apreciate feedback, i had it compiled in my system prior to doing the package, so i dont know how it will work installed from scratch from aur. Thank you in advance, and hope you enjoy it

[aur-general] Deletion request: lyx_prerelease
by Sam Madhani 16 May '11

16 May '11

Dear TUs, Please delete this pkgbuild* as the prerelease series for which I created it is now the stable series**, so my guess is that it will soon be in [extra]. * https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=37964 ** http://www.lyx.org/News#item2 Regards, Sam Madhani

[aur-general] My first PKGBUILD (ttf font)
by Ian Brunton 15 May '11

15 May '11

This is my first attempt at creating a package. It's for a TTF font. I know it works, at least on my machine. I'd appreciate any feedback on whether I've put everything together correctly. Specifically, I'm unsure about how to handle the license; this font comes with a custom "freeware EULA" which is available on the original website and is included in the ZIP file; what would be the most correct way to specify the license in the PKGBUILD file? PKGBUILD and install file are attached. Thank you -- Ian Brunton iandbrunton(a)gmail.com http://laygeek.wordpress.com

[aur-general] remove aur/supercollider-with-sn-plugins-git
by Bernardo Barros 14 May '11

14 May '11

Hi all One of my packages became obsolete and I forgot to warn about it. Please remove supercollider-with-sn-plugins-git https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=44763 Reason: supernova server was merged a long time ago into supercollider and this package is now equivalent to supercolider-with-extras-git already in aur and archaudio/experimental Thanks!

[aur-general] Dropping evolution-rss
by Jelle van der Waa 14 May '11

14 May '11

Hi, Since i don't use evolution-rss anymore, i want to drop it into unsupported or does any TU want to maintain it? btw: latest release doesn't support evolution 3.0 yet ( you probably need to take a git snapshot ) -- Jelle van der Waa

[aur-general] Removal request of xorg-server-compositing-fix
by Det 14 May '11

14 May '11

Hellooooooo, Please dematerialize xorg-server-compositing-fix [1]. The maintainer already requested for its destruction when 1.9.3 would hit the repo but apparently TUs forgot about it or something. [1] = http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=41438 Thanks for your time, Det

[aur-general] sanity check / review my first AUR package
by Taylor Venable 13 May '11

13 May '11

Hi everybody, I just started using Arch a few weeks ago, and I've been mightily impressed. I want to help out, so I started looking in the AUR for things to do. I noticed that there doesn't seem to be a package for the devel version of SWI-Prolog. The stable release is in [community], and there are git snapshots in AUR, but they are old and unowned. So I created a package for the development release. The devel release is distinct from a git snapshot, which is why I created a separate package, rather than updating the git snapshot one. Since there are development releases, I don't personally find git snapshots to be that useful. I wanted to make sure I'm doing this correctly, so if you have the time to take a look for me I'd appreciate it. Any guidance will be welcomed. I basically copied the [community] package's PKGBUILD and modified the necessary properties. I only have x86_64 machines, so I've not checked i686, but the resulting binary package does work for me. Since I wanted to get a little review before submitting it, the package can be found on my website: http://metasyntax.net/swi-prolog-devel-5.11.20-1.src.tar.gz Thanks, -- Taylor C. Venable http://metasyntax.net/

by Baptiste 13 May '11

13 May '11

Hello, I would like to delete one of my packages: [1] `asciiportal-mod`. It was featuring a brand new patch, but the project has since moved to git and the [2] `asciiportal-git` package I've just uploaded is providing the same functionality. Thanks, Baptiste [1] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=48639 [2] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=49023 -- GNU/Linux fan && Archlinux user
