[aur-general] Merge requests for compiz-*git to compiz-*-bzr
by Hugo Osvaldo Barrera 19 Apr '12

19 Apr '12

Compiz is no longer developed in git, but rather in bzr. There are several compiz-*-git packages that should be merged into the new compiz-*-bzr packages: I don't think comments are generally relevant, so I don't think they need to be merged. compiz-core-git 20110827-1 -> compiz-core-bzr 3091-1 https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=26334 https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=58430 compiz-plugins-main-git 20110827-1 -> compiz-plugins-main-bzr 27-1 https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=50551 https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=58431 compiz-plugins-extra-git 20110827-1 -> compiz-plugins-extra-bzr 10-1 https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=50552 https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=58432 libcompizconfig-git 20110827-1 -> libcompizconfig-bzr 430-1 https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=11734 https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=58433 compizconfig-python-git 20111203-1 -> compizconfig-python-bzr 168-1 https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=11730 https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=58434 ccsm-git 20110827-1 -> ccsm-bzr 808-1 https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=11536 https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=58435 compizconfig-backend-gsettings-git 20110827-2 -> compizconfig-backend-gsettings-bzr 158-1 https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=51898 https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=58437 -- Hugo Osvaldo Barrera

19 Apr '12

Hi, Please merge python-scientific https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=30945 in python2-scientific https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=51615 both make reference to the same package but the first do not compile, is out of date, the name is wrong as is python2 dependent and it is orfan. I'm the maintainer of python2-scientific. Right now It is only used as a dependence of mmtk which I'm also the maintainer. Hector

[aur-general] Deletion Request: mosh, mosh-git
by Taylor Venable 19 Apr '12

19 Apr '12

Hi there, I (metasyntax) am the maintainer of the mosh and mosh-git packages in the AUR. I hereby request that they be deleted so that those names may be taken over by the packages currently named mobile-shell and mobile-shell-git, respectively. FWIW, I will be uploading my packages under the new names mosh-scheme and mosh-scheme-git, so if you renaming is as easy as just removing them, that's just fine by me. Thanks much! -- Taylor C. Venable http://metasyntax.net/

Hi, I'm the maintainer of the Lilyterm-testing package (it was my very first aur pkgbuild!) the goal of this package was to provide lilyterm release candidate 0.9.9, which took a loooong time to be released. anyway, got released and community has that package, so this is no longer needed. The url is https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=42280 thanks

[aur-general] Disown rosa-media-player
by Vítor Miguel Miranda Ferreira 18 Apr '12

18 Apr '12

Hello, The rosa-media-player[1] package is out-of-date and not currently maintained by its current maintainer. Thus, I would like to request that it be disowned, so that myself or any other user interested in this package is able to maintain it properly. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=54417 -- Regards, Vítor Ferreira.

Please remove nodeunit[1]. It is a duplicate of nodejs-nodeunit[2] but has no maintainer, no votes and a worse PKGBUILD. The latter is also better named. 1: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=53796 2: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=54948 Thanks

The kate-ctags-plugin package[1] is old, orphaned and there is already a ctags plugin bundled with Kate. Perhaps it should be removed from the AUR? Thank you. --Chris Sakalis [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=13942

[aur-general] TU application - ConnorBehan
by Connor Behan 18 Apr '12

18 Apr '12

Hello Archers. This is my application to be a trusted user and my sponsor is Sergej Pupykin. My name on all Arch projects is ConnorBehan. Some of you may remember me fondly from a conversation or two, others perhaps not so fondly, and I'm sure some of you don't know me at all! Anyway, since I started using Arch five years ago, I have gone from being mostly on the receiving end of support issues to mostly on the giving end. In that time, Arch has grown immensely in popularity and this puts increased pressure on the package maintainers so I want to help. On the forums, I would not go so far as to say I'm "a regular"... my posting is a bit on and off. But I have tried to be much more regular on the AUR. I currently maintain 38 packages. There are other packages that I used to maintain. Three of them are now in community under the maintainership of a TU (audit, sk1 and python-lcms). And one of them was a kernel package which was one of the first packages that Archers used to get Radeon KMS support before it was considered stable. The list of packages I would immediately put in community is not huge. My gsview and xdvdshrink packages surely have enough votes to warrant inclusion. I would also put python-gasp in community to help Arch users who are learning Python from the book thinkcspy like I did. And using talkfilters to chat in pirate speak never gets old. I also want to be in a better position to adopt orphaned packages (or neglected packages like info2man that should be orphaned). Six of my AUR packages so far were submitted by someone else. The packages I would not include are pidgin-broadcast (abuse potential), instantbird (unreliable with the packaging choices I have made) and the numerous packages that are decidedly non-vanilla. I have started three open source projects since I became involved in free software: * http://mebitag.sourceforge.net/ * http://demohack.sourceforge.net/ * http://goodies.xfce.org/projects/panel-plugins/xfce4-generic-slider I am pretty sure that only the last one has a user base greater than one =P. One thing you will probably notice from my AUR packages is that they tend to contain large, self-written patches. This is my favourite part about free software - modifying it to fix a bug or even add a significant feature. I am very much in the habit of contributing these patches back to upstream bug trackers: * http://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7354 * http://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7353 * https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=26998 * https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47866 * https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=667155 * https://bugzilla.instantbird.org/show_bug.cgi?id=165 * https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=454025 * https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=453706 * https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/19672 * https://bitbucket.org/aafshar/pida-main/issue/464/please-make-moo-work-again * http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=544752&aid=3054669&group_i… <http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=544752&aid=3054669&group_i…> * http://sourceforge.net/p/gracegtk/tickets/1/ Some of them get accepted, and some don't =). Thanks for taking the time to read this and I look forward to hearing what you have to say.
