[aur-general] Disown request: batterymon-clone
by Jarek Sedlacek 02 Mar '12

02 Mar '12

Packagae batterymon-clone[1] is out of date and broken, and has been for a while. I tried to email the maintainer, monstermudder78, but the email he has listed ( casey(a)archlinux.us) doesn't exist. I see he doesn't maintain any other packages, so I'd assume he's inactive. Could this package be orphaned? I'd love to pick it up (and ideally have it replace the batterymon package, since the former is broken without a kernel built with CONFIG_ACPI_PROCFS_POWER, which the stock arch kernels aren't) [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=52974 Thanks, Jarek Sedlacek

[aur-general] AUR helpers and AUR standards
by Oon-Ee Ng 02 Mar '12

02 Mar '12

Splitting off from the TU application thread that's becoming more of a discussion on the above:- My (user) perspective - when did being able/not to install packages from a helper (for example yaourt) become a benchmark for deciding how 'correct' a PKGBUILD is?

[aur-general] Abandonware: lgeneral-data
by Anton Bazhenov 02 Mar '12

02 Mar '12

Package 'lgeneral-data' [1] contains data files for the game LGeneral [2]. But these files are taken from the original game - Panzer General, the rights to which are now owned by Ubisoft. I could update the package and remove the link to the archive, but is it worth it? The user need to enter only one command to install data files (and I added an example to .install file in the package 'lgeneral'). So I think that 'lgeneral-data' can be deleted.

[aur-general] Package Deletion: perltidy
by Jarek Sedlacek 01 Mar '12

01 Mar '12

Package perltidy in aur seems to be a duplicate of perl-tidy in community. It hasn't been updated since 2010, and in the comments on the AUR page the maintainer acknowledges it can go. http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=34248 Thanks, Jarek Sedlacek
