[aur-general] VCS Packaging Guidelines
by Mark Foxwell 02 Jul '11

02 Jul '11

Hi, What is the _official_ opinion on when to bump pkgver on VCS packages? I maintain offlineimap-git [1] (and a few other VCS packages) in AUR and generally bump the pkgver on each commit and may add to the comments about major changes. Other maintainers seem to take the approach to not bump the pkgver unless any changes to the build process are needed. I think that any _official_ view (even if it's 'either way is fine') should be added to the VCS PKGBUILD Guidelines wiki page [2]. Many Thanks, Mark [1] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=24202 [2] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_CVS_%26_SVN_PKGBUILD_guidelines

Dear TU/AUR managers, Can you please delete the following packages: yorick yorick-imutil yorick-soy yorick-yutils yorick-spydr yorick-yao reason: they are superseeded by their -git versions. and yorick-all reason: I've never been able to make this metapackage work properly. Thanks in advance! Francois Rigaut

Please delete sip-communicator-nightly http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=32221 . It has been replaced with jitsi http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=48928 due to upstream name change. Also the download url for sip-communicator-nightly does not work anymore. Thanks in advance. Regards. Keshav

[aur-general] Orphan request for awib & ascii-invaders
by Baptiste 01 Jul '11

01 Jul '11

Hello, I would like to adopt ascii-invaders [1] and awib [2]. I had proposed some changes to the PKGBUILD back in January, but the current maintainer of both packages (Phrodo_00 [3]) didn't show any sign of life since then. Changes include a python -> python2 patch and a new upstream release for awib [2]. Thanks, Baptiste PS: CC-ing this to Phrodo_00 [1] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=11141 [2] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=7730 [3] http://aur.archlinux.org/account.php?Action=AccountInfo&ID=1707 -- "C'est mieux, mais il y a plus cher ailleurs" : ____ _ _ _ _ ___ _ / ___| \ | | | | | / / | (_)_ __ _ ___ __ | | _| \| | | | |/ /| | | | '_ \| | | \ \/ / | |_| | |\ | |_| / / | |___| | | | | |_| |> < \____|_| \_|\___/_/ |_____|_|_| |_|\__,_/_/\_\ GNU/Linux fan && Archlinux user
