[aur-general] [Deletion request] gimp-plugin-jp2
by Krzysztof Grygiencz 15 Sep '11

15 Sep '11

Hi, Please delete my package gimp-plugin-jp2 [1] because it's obsolete. It segfaults gimp with latest openjpeg 1.4. I've created gimp_j2k [2] which is working properly.

[aur-general] Removal request
by Max Roder 15 Sep '11

15 Sep '11

Hi, aircrack-ptw [1] can safly be removed. The ptw method is included in aircrack-ng. Aircrack-ptw is unmaintained for years now. In addition, it's not available on the official homepage anymore. Just clicked through all those madwifi packages. As ath5k superseded madwifi (and is actually included in the kernel), couldn't most of the orphaned and/or out-of-date madwifi-X packages be removed? It's just a suggestion, though. In detail: dkms-madwifi https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=11662 madwifi-aircrack-tp https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=17049 It's orphaned, depends on already removed packages (kernel26tp), thus unusable. madwifi-aircrack https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=33076 (same) madwifi-hal https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=20857 (depends on kernel26 ...) madwifi-hal-svn https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=20963 madwifi-svn-hal https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=20221 madwifi-ice https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=23472 (depends on removed packages, kernel26, ...) Happy removing ;) Regards, Max [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=18331

Hi, please orphan texworks [1] and xfce4-linelight-plugin [2]. They are both out- dated for very long time. Maintainer's email address from his AUR profile does not work anymore and he last updated the packages more then one year ago.

[aur-general] Taking/Adopting libunwind as it is out of date.
by Phillip Marvin 13 Sep '11

13 Sep '11

I would like to adopt the libunwind package, it is useful for google-perf tools (tcmalloc) and currently doesn't compile. The AUR FAQ tells me I need a trusted user to orphan the package before I can adopt it. -- ------------------------------- Only in books has mankind known perfect truth, love and beauty. - George Bernard Shaw

[aur-general] Remove `react` and `ocaml-aaa`
by Sergei Lebedev 13 Sep '11

13 Sep '11

Hello, Can you please remove `react` package [1], because: * it's abandoned * it doesn't have an ocaml- prefix as suggested by OCaml Package Guidelines [2] * there already is a *supported* up to date package [3] [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=33265 [2] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/OCaml_Package_Guidelines [3] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=49470 There's also orphaned `ocaml-aaa` [1], which aimed to be a stripped down version of `ocaml-batteries` [2] -- but seems to be no longer maintained. So, I guess it would make sense to remove this package as well. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=33343 [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=21560 Thanks, Sergei

[aur-general] Please delete conky-lua-nv-old
by Oon-Ee Ng 13 Sep '11

13 Sep '11

conky-lua-nv-old [1] is an exact duplicate (deleting two commented lines) of conky-lua-nv [2]. The latter is out-of-date, but has more votes and predates (and was updated more recently) than the former. Please delete [1]. [1] - https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=47051 [2] - https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=36405
