The same users who don't read the above may not notice post-upgrade messages either. On the flip side, most custom kernel users should be more savvy than the average, do I don't see much of a problem. I maintain two aur kennels, shall I implement the move now (seems like it'd work even before kmod upgrades)?

It has been outdated (and orphaned?) for a long time, and it fails to build. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=26749

So if i understand correctly we (the people running custom kernels) can't prepare for this ? There is no way of moving the modules already to /usr/lib ? I assume kmod now only looks in /lib. Another note, people with custom repositories should move their kernels in sync with the official repositories ? --Ike

[aur-general] Package Rename/Merge Request (python-texttable)
by Jason St. John 03 Jul '12

03 Jul '12

Hello, I am requesting that python-texttable[1] be renamed/merged into python2-texttable[2]. I am not aware of a Python 3 version of this package, which is why I'm requesting it be merged. Additionally, [1] is out-of-date and the PKGBUILD has a lot of room for improvement, which I have cleaned up in my new package[2]. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=39012 [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=60499 Thanks!

[aur-general] deletion of hplip related packages
by PyroPeter 01 Jul '12

01 Jul '12

Hi TUs, the following two PKGBUILDs are outdated for almost a year and were last modified on the day they were submitted: hplip-all https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=49401 hplip-plugin-all https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=49402 The latter seems to be a copy of my PKGBUILD hplip-plugin without the udev-part. Pretty pointless. I suppose they both should be deleted. Regards, PyroPeter -- freenode/pyropeter ETAOIN SHRDLU
