[aur-general] Inactive for a bit.
by Peter Lewis 04 Mar '12

04 Mar '12

Hi all, I'm going to be inactive for a bit, I'm afraid. I'm travelling for work this week, and then moving house. Not sure how quickly I'll get Internet set up at the new place. If anyone could update choqok, then that would be great - it should be a straightforward version bump. I'm not aware of anything else impending that needs doing. Cheers, Pete.

lib32-libnl [1] is out-of-date for some time now and fails to build. Sent email to the maintainer, but he didn't replay. By the way, all his packages are out-of-date. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=36007 Please disown lib32-libnl. Thanks

[aur-general] TU Application - György Balló
by Balló György 04 Mar '12

04 Mar '12

Hello everybody, I'm applying to be a Trusted User. I'm a 24 years old Hungarian web developer, and I'm using Arch Linux as my main system since 2010 summer. Before that I used a Debian-based distro for one year. In my free time I like surfing on the net, contributing to OpenStreetMap, bicycling, hiking, take photos about trams, and of course, packaging. I really like Arch Linux's transparency, the pacman and the build system, the website and the great wiki. I'm maintaining packages[1] a long time ago, and I already contributed to wiki by creating a page about libcanberra[2], and updated, extended some other articles. I reported many issues[3] with GNOME packages (including upstream and packaging bugs) to make Arch Linux better. I usually try to find the solution and send patch to upstream if needed before open bug reports. I helped to Ioni e.g. on updating some C# packages, and I also cooperated with AndyRTR on splitting out extensions from libreoffice package. I currently have 150 packages in AUR with a total of 5775 votes. I already maintain more than 200 packages as source packages on github[4] and as built i686 packages in my [ayatana] repo[5]. I don't want to move all of these packages to [community], only the popular ones. I always try to make the best packages and I hate poorly written PKGBUILDs. Some packages that I would like to add to [community]: - deja-dup (115 votes) - gwibber (299 votes) - pinta (186 votes) Some orphan packages in [community] that I could adopt: - agave - buoh My goal with becoming a TU is to provide more popular GTK+ applications in [community] and keep GNOME stable and consistent by fixing packages on large updates if needed. I hope that I could support Arch Linux as a TU in the next months and years. Alexander Rødseth is my sponsor. Best regards, György Balló My PGP key: https://raw.github.com/City-busz/Arch-Linux-Repository/master/ballogyor@gma… [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?SeB=m&K=City-busz [2] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Libcanberra [3] https://bugs.archlinux.org/index.php?project=1&status[]=&opened=City-busz&d… [4] https://github.com/City-busz/Arch-Linux-Repository [5] http://ayatana.info/

[aur-general] ghc 7.4.1 moved to extra
by Thomas Dziedzic 03 Mar '12

03 Mar '12

I have finally moved the new ghc to arch repos. With this cleanup comes a bit of change. The decision has been made that ghc will be updated to the latest stable version and haskell-platform will be moved to the aur. This means you should remove the haskell-platform related packages before updating. I will also keep only essential packages and their dependencies related to haskell in [extra]. For now this means cabal-install and ghc + their depends. I have closed the following bugs with this release: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/23247 - [ghc 7.0.2] ghci -package ghc causes panic https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/27132 - [ghc] re-enable the strip makepkg option https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/18917 - [ghc] ghc.install :: test if directory exists https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/28758 - [haskell-text] uninstallable due to removal of haskell-deepseq https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/25991 - haskell-glut: undefined references to pretty much all glut functions https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/25072 - [alex][happy][cabal-install] missing makedepnds The following bugs are still open which I will fix as soon as cabal-install and darcs are buildable: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/27249 - [cabal-install] Add bash completion support https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/26955 - [darcs] missing makedependence haskell-hashed-storage<0.6 There are still some issues left with the current situation of haskell on arch, but these will take time and communication with upstream. *I need to figure out what to do about haddock since ghc only packages the binary and thus provides only half the package with ghc. This is the reason why we packaged haskell-haddock even though the ghc package already provides the haddock binary. *The post-install messages related to haskell packages can get pretty long. There is a proposed solution with a patch, but I need to figure out if there is any way we can work it out with upstream first. *There is no cabal-install or darcs version that is marked as stable and currently builds with ghc 7.4.1 These packages are statically linked so it shouldn't matter for now. I will be keeping an eye on these packages and waiting for upstream to provide new stable versions that builds against the latest ghc. Cheers!

Hi, the packages gill-sans-font and ttf-gill-sans provide the same font. It would make sense to delete one. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=9843 https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=18570 Cheers Simon PS: Please CC responses.

[aur-general] Package Deletion/Merge: batterymon
by Jarek Sedlacek 02 Mar '12

02 Mar '12

Package batterymon [1] is broken and will remain broken as long as arch kernels are built without CONFIG_ACPI_PROCFS_POWER. It can be replaced by batterymon-clone [2] which is a fork of the same project that gets battery information from /sys instead of /proc. Could batterymon be deleted and the votes merged? [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=24694 [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=52974 Thanks, Jarek Sedlacek
