[aur-general] docker v. docker
by Jerome Leclanche 27 Nov '13

27 Nov '13

extra/docker is currently a very old system tray app for openbox2, kde3 and gnome2. It hasn't been updated in a very, very long time. docker (https://www.docker.io/) on the other hand, is a widely used and current container solution. As of 0.7, it's now available on all distributions (previously was only available on ubuntu). There will be a naming conflict between the two very soon. I would be in favour of renaming extra/docker preemptively since it hasn't been updated in a decade. J. Leclanche

[aur-general] Disown mingw-w64-bin
by Philip A Reimer 26 Nov '13

26 Nov '13

Could someone please disown mingw-w64-bin [1]. Since Arch Linux has a working mingw-w64 toolchain [2] now it might be better to delete it? I emailed the maintainer and only received "Delivery to the following recipient failed permanently" [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/mingw-w64-bin/ [2] https://www.archlinux.org/packages/?q=mingw-w64 -ant32 http://sourceforge.net/p/mingw-w64-archlinux/wiki

[aur-general] Removal Request
by Dustin Falgout 26 Nov '13

26 Nov '13

Hi, The packages kcm-grub2[1] and kcm-grub2-git[2] are both orphans and there doesn't look to be any active development on the program. The PKGBUILD's need updating to compile properly. There is an alternative available in the AUR that has active development. (grub2-editor[3]) For that reason, please remove [1} and [2]. THANKS! Regards, Dustin [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/kcm-grub2/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/kcm-grub2-git/ --------------------------------------- [3] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/grub2-editor/

Hi, Please remove dswitcher[1]. I realized it would be better served with a -git package and so I have created a new dswitcher-git package. dswitcher is no longer necessary. Thanks [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/dswitcher/
