[aur-general] disowning a couple of packages
by Thomas Dziedzic 12 Jan '14

12 Jan '14

Hi, I'm disowning sage-mathematics, sage-mathematics-spkgs(optdepends for sage-mathematics), fityk, and xylib(dependency for fityk). I will move them to the aur in a week if no TU adopts them in community. If you plan on adopting sage-mathematics, you should know that it is currently unbuildable on archlinux, and some other newer distros due to how it is built. It is currently out of date, and you wont be able to update it without fixing this. http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/10572 (13 month old bug without recent comments) http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/11391 (9 month old bug I filed without a sign of activity) If you plan on adopting fityk, note that it needs a development version of wxwidgets which I statically build in the same PKGBUILD. Cheers.

[aur-general] Inactive user tdy
by Cédric Girard 11 Apr '12

11 Apr '12

Hi, The user tdy [1] seems no longer active. He has 360 packages with 50 outdated. Last activity I've been able to spot is mid-2011. Could someone orphan all his packages for other people to adopt them. I have not contacted him but he is in cc of this email.

Hi, TweetDeck has dropped all kind of linux support with moving away from Adobe Air. The PKGBUILD [1] is of no more use. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=25070 -- Cédric Girard

[aur-general] [community] Up for adoption: cairo-compmgr, gadmin-samba
by Florian Pritz 19 Mar '12

19 Mar '12

Hi, I'll drop those to the AUR unless someone adopts them in the next few days: - gadmin-samba: upstream website and ftp server are down - cairo-compmgr: upstream is pretty dead (hardly any commits in git nor recent releases) and it doesn't build right now because -ldl is missing from $(LIBS). -- Florian Pritz

Re: [aur-general] [arch-dev-public] Cleaning up orphaned packages

> * If a TU wants to maintain an orphan that is currently in [extra], > please let us know. I can maintain following packages in [community] if no-one else takes them, but I would prefer if some of the devs was interested in them so they can stay in [extra]. I think these packages deserve place in [extra], as they are reasonably wide-spread. * laptop-mode-tools * krusader * enblend-enfuse * hugin * gimp-refocus BTW: I see autopano-sift-c is orphaned too. I can assure you it is mostly forgotten, because it has been replaced by a better and patent free control points detector which is bundled with hugin. I vote for dropping it to AUR. Lukas

Hi, >From [extra], I'm interested in adopting: acpi allegro eclipse-cdt fltk-docs midori orage pwgen tightvnc Also, I think that all Haskell-related packages that are orphans or flagged should be downgraded to [community]. I just checked, and only Vesa Kaihlavirta and Thomas Dziedzic maintain Haskell-related packages in [core] and [extra]. 70.6% of all Haskell-related packages are currently flagged as out of date. [1] Provided this isn't done intentionally, I think it would be good to make use of the available maintainer-power in [community] and unsupported. In general, I'm all for moving packages that are orphans, few or no packages depend on or just isn't that relevant anymore. Like "boo". -- Sincerely, Alexander Rødseth Arch Linux Trusted User (xyproto on IRC, trontonic on AUR)
