[aur-general] Deletion request for rasqal-latest
by Leif Warner 18 Jul '11

18 Jul '11

Hi, could you please delete my package rasqal-latest: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=50322 It was a dependency for 4-store, which required the new API, but the version of rasqal in extra has been updated, so this package is redundant now. Thanks! -Leif

Hello, I'll be inactive starting from tomorrow (July 18) up to July 25. I'm going on a short vacation. I'm taking laptop with me, but it doesn't have Arch installed so no package updates from me for the next week. Lukas

caffeine-gnome3 [1] is based in a branch that was already merged [2] to trunk, which is provided by package caffeine [3]. Therefore, no need for this package package anymore. Please delete caffeine-gnome3.

[aur-general] PCSX2 Plugins folder - suggestion?
by rafael ff1 16 Jul '11

16 Jul '11

Hi all, I'm the maintainer of the package pcsx2-svn[1]. PCSX2 from now on will install files in a different folder than /opt/pcsx2 - I'm still going to adapt the PKGBUILD. Plugins, as I can see in Archlinux Packaging Standards [2], should go to /var/lib/pcsx2/PLUGINNAME.so... However, pcsx2 is a 32 bit package and only works in 64 bit because it uses lib32 packages. In my 64 bit system, I can see that the compilation of pcsx2 [gcc -m32, thanks to gcc-multilib] gives me ELF 32 bit plugins, which makes it a little bit weird to have it inside /var/lib/pcsx2 - which is a system's architecture folder. However, on 32 bit systems, there would be no problem putting plugins in /var/lib/pcsx2. Having that said, where should 32 and 64 bit compilations of PCSX2 put its plugins (talking about /varlib/pcsx2 and /var/lib32/pcsx2)? [1] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=21899 [2] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_Packaging_Standards Thanks in advance, Rafael

Please orphan zpaq [1]. I contacted tuxspirit by email and he agreed to transfer it to me, but he forgot to orphan the package and he doesn't seem to check his emails often (more than a week with no replies). [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=29726

[aur-general] large number of deprecated/duplicate flashplugin packages
by Anish Bhatt 14 Jul '11

14 Jul '11

All of these packages are either orphaned/out-of-date/duplicate or deprecated. Could someone delete these please ? http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=47038 http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=47308 http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=49704 http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=50704 http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=44101 Also, adobe at one point had three seperate flash releases available, and had versioning/architecture issues that required three seperate AUR packages. Their last release consolidates all these releases, rendering two of these packages obsolete. Adobe also tends to use adjectives like prerelease/beta/preview randomly, causing further package naming issues. (eg, all -prerelease packages have now become -beta, when there used to be seperate -beta & -prerelease releases earlier). What's a good way to consolidate users of the three packages into the correct one ? -Anish -- As long as the music's loud enough, we won't hear the world falling apart.
