[aur-general] Orphan Request: xen
by Luceo Astrum 22 Jul '12

22 Jul '12

Hi, I'd like to request that xen be orphaned so that I can adopt it: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=14640 I've contacted the maintainer (revellion) by e-mail yesterday (I know nowhere near the two weeks but believe the rest of this post is relevant). Since the last update in 2011, there have been three serious Xen Security Advisories with patches: http://lists.xen.org/archives/html/xen-announce/2012-06/msg00001.html http://lists.xen.org/archives/html/xen-announce/2012-06/msg00003.html http://lists.xen.org/archives/html/xen-announce/2012-06/msg00002.html The maintainer has not upgraded the package to support these patches. He also hasn't changed the dependency for 'xz-utils' to 'xz'. The package was marked out of date. Finally, he has not responded on the AUR comments, including two addressed directly to him by 'aaronfitz' and 'fatmike' in January and March respectively. All of the above leads me to believe that he's no longer active. I will update this thread after 2 weeks if he hasn't responded, unless a TU takes the decision that my research is enough to show that the user is not active.

[aur-general] AUR and unsuported architectures
by Hugo Osvaldo Barrera 21 Jul '12

21 Jul '12

Hi, I've recently seen some comments in AUR, where a user points out that X package works well on powerpc/arm. I was wondering what's the general approach given to these architectures on AUR; since AUR is unsupported, is it ok to add these architectures to the PKGBUILD's arch array? If it is ok, is it *advised* to do so when apropriate? Supported architectures should see absolutely no change regarding these packages, and unsupported one will benefit from it. Again, being AUR unsupported anyway, I see nothing bad out of this, but I'd like to know the TU's stance on this, especially since I'm about to install archlinuxppc on one of my laptops. :) Cheers, thanks, -- Hugo Osvaldo Barrera

[aur-general] Package Rename/Merge Request (pythondialog)
by bwr sandman 21 Jul '12

21 Jul '12

Hello! I am requesting that the out of date pythondialog package[1] be merged into the new python2-dialog[2]. I contacted the maintainer and he orphaned it[1], so I adopted it. I updated the nomenclature and explicitly use python2. I also made it conform more to the python packaging guidelines in the new package[2]. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=2165 [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=61061 Thank you! -- bwrsandman
