[aur-general] Please delete python-netfilter
by Joseph Hall 26 Nov '12

26 Nov '12

Please delete: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python-netfilter/ I have adopted this package, discovered that it does not work in python 3 (as noted in the comments), and re-created it as python2-netfilter. Thanks! -- "In order to create, you have to have the willingness, the desire to be challenged, to be learning." -- Ferran Adria (speaking at Harvard, 2011)

[aur-general] Merge request: gnome-guile-platform-git ==> guile-gnome-platform-git
by Jekyll Wu 26 Nov '12

26 Nov '12

The latter name looks more consistent with upstream name and other packages. Also, the first is orphaned. Actually, since the first doesn't have any vote and comment, maybe it can just be removed? https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gnome-guile-platform-git/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/guile-gnome-platform-git/

[aur-general] Removal: bin32-go
by Schala Zeal 26 Nov '12

26 Nov '12

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/bin32-go/ I tried to make a package providing 32-bit capabilities for 64-bit users but it's quite clear Google Go does not like me at all.

[aur-general] Merge caffeine into caffeine-bzr
by 小龙陈 25 Nov '12

25 Nov '12

Hi, Would it be possible to have my caffeine[1] package merged into caffeine-bzr[2]. The PKGBUILDs are nearly identical and caffeine-bzr is a more appropriate name. Thanks! Xiao-Long Chen [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/caffeine/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/caffeine-bzr/

[aur-general] Building a package from a currently installed program
by Storm Dragon 25 Nov '12

25 Nov '12

Hi, I have searched for this and not found anything, but it seems like it should be possible. Is there a way to package a currently installed program? I have a friend who is having trouble with a new Arch install getting Orca working. I know for sure my version of Orca is working, so I wanted to package it for him, send it to him, and let him instal with pacman. I'm just not sure how to do it. Of course, if my version of Orca works on his install that means there is a bug somewhere, but he needs it to be working in order to access information to file a bug lol, kind of a catch 22.

[aur-general] Orphan request: pidgin-latex
by Michael Laß 25 Nov '12

25 Nov '12

Hi, I would like to request the orphanage of the package pidgin-latex: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pidgin-latex/ The reasons: - the package has been flagged out of date nearly 4 months ago - the PKGBUILD does not work - correct and up-to-date PKGBUILDs were provided in the comments - I mailed the maintainer on 11.11. but didn't get an answer I would like to maintain the package in the future. Greetings, Michael (User Bevan in AUR)
