[aur-general] The license of flashplugin(-prerelease) requires a download?
by Nimeton maili 14 Jul '11

14 Jul '11

There was some discussion in the flashplugin-prerelease's comment section[1] whether or not the PDF license of Flash Player (that is bigger than the tarball of the plugin itself) would be required to download along with the package. There was a suggestion to just use the post_install to link to the license (which the same guy said was redundant anyway because "We all know what we're installing, and how proprietary it is"). I could not care less for the license either but it's not that hard to just cut out the URL from the source=() section. So here we are. What do you guys think? Thanks for your time, Det [1] = http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=32072

[aur-general] Request for PKGBUILD check: perl-pdl 2.4.9-1
by Anton Leontiev 14 Jul '11

14 Jul '11

Hi, all! Could you help me with PKGBUILD for Perl's PDL module? Currently I'm stuck with makedepends/optdepends. There is a number of dependencies which are optional, but to get PDL work with them as with optional packages in Arch, it should be compiled with them. So I added the in both makedepends and optdepends. Am I right? What are official recommendations for AUR packages in this case? Thank you in advance. -- Anton Leontiev <bunder(a)t-25.ru>

Here are the candidates: dwarffortress-wine (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=36202) Reason: Old version, no maintainer, no need (dwarffortress is in community/multilib) kwine (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=6498) Reason: Extremely old (2007), obsolete, dead upstream wine-chs (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=17914) Reason: Very old wine version, unmaintained wine-dib (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=31499) Reason: Old wine version and apparently the maintainer is uninterested wine-starcraft (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=41819) Reason: Very old wine, unnecessary patch and apparently the maintainer is uninterested wine-suse (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=37839) Reason: Unmaintained, bin32-wine-suse exists and is maintained wine-doors-svn (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=11849) Reason: Unmaintained, dead upstream, dead source wine-doors (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=11823) Reason: Very old, dead upstream, dead source wine-forgames (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=45631) Reason: Old, doesn't explain its purpose, seems to be a clone of wine-lol (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=39529) winetools (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=8913) Reason: Very old, dead upstream, dead source, obsolete (now in winetricks and other helpers) wuninst-git (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=18868) Reason: Very old, dead upstream, obsolete (now in wine) wisotool (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=37824) Reason: Old, obsolete (now in winetricks) wisotool-svn (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=37825) Reason: Obsolete (now in winetricks) winegame-t (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=37830) Reason: Unmaintained, old, dead upstream winefix (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=17459) Reason: Very old, unmaintained, apparently dead upstream Thoughts?
