[aur-general] Delete request: thc-hydra
by Rudy Matela 20 Feb '13

20 Feb '13

Hello, Hydra was outdated, so I've stepped in as maintainer of hydra [1]. Turns out there is another package (thc-hydra [2]) which was created to be an updated version of hydra while the last maintainer was not working on it, quoting from the first comment on it: > "This is an updated version of the original package [1] > > I made this package because the original one was flagged as outdatted for more than 1 month and no one recived response from the submitter/maintainer." Since it does not apply anymore I think thc-hydra [2] should be deleted. It is interesting to note: thc-hydra is also outdated. Regards, Rudy [1] - https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/hydra/ [2] - https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/thc-hydra/ PS: This is related to the orphan request I did minutes ago: Orphan request: hydra

[aur-general] Orphan request: hydra
by Rudy Matela 19 Feb '13

19 Feb '13

Hello, The package hydra [1] is outdated. It was last updated on 2011 (7.1) and there has been a new hydra version for some time, the last one 7.4.2 for two months. It's been flagged out-of-date for almost two years. There is a new version posted in the comments for four months also. With no response from the maintainer. Can you please disown the package for a new maintainer to take over? Regards, Rudy [1] - https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/hydra/

[aur-general] disown request : razor-qt-git
by Jekyll Wu 19 Feb '13

19 Feb '13

It is in 2012-03-06, almost one year ago, that this -git package is last updated. Considering that the upstream development is quite active and many more dependencies have been introduced, this package is currently in a quite bad form (just compare the dependencies with that of razor-qt to get the idea). I'm not sure the status of the maintainer, but since the packages was marked as out-of-date in 2012-12-24 and still no change since then, I would see that maintainer as inactive. In case someone asks, I haven't and won't send a private mail for contact. If one maintainer is not interested in notifications from the package he/she is maintaining, I can hardly believe he/she could/would maintain that package well. So it is up to you guys to decide. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/razor-qt https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/razor-qt-git/

[aur-general] Package removal: eclipse-scala-ide-juno-nightly
by Kristof Jozsa 19 Feb '13

19 Feb '13

Hi, I'm the maintainer of the eclipse-scala-ide and eclipse-scala-ide-juno-nightly packages and would like to ask for removing the latter. The package eclipse-scala-ide have been tracking the so-so stable version of the upstream package (scala-ide.org) When Arch had the transition to Eclipse Juno and Scala IDE had an up-to-date nightly and a way obsolete stable version supporting only the previous Eclipse, I created eclipse-scala-ide-juno-nightly to allow Arch user scala hackers to develop with a usable tool. As of the current situation, Scala IDE is back to stable milestone releases, and I'm planning to track them via the eclipse-scala-ide package. Therefore, eclipse-scala-ide-juno-nightly is no longer needed. Thanks, K

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/monitorix-beta I am the maintainer and now that upstream has pushed the 3.0 branch to mainline, this package is meaningless. Thank you.

[aur-general] [Merge Request] wireless-bcm43142-oneiric-dkms into wireless-bcm43142-dkms
by Frank Vanderham 18 Feb '13

18 Feb '13

Could you please merge wireless-bcm43142-oneiric-dkms[0] into wireless-bcm43142-dkms[1]. The primary reason for the new package vs. updating the old is that the original package has "oneiric" in the name, which is an Ubuntu version name. I did not know this when I first build the PKGCONFIG; myself and several others just needed to get this damn driver to work on our Dell laptops at the time, since we had no wireless. The new package also has a much more reliable and applicable upstream link (Ubuntu, where Dell maintains this codebase). [0] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/wireless-bcm43142-oneiric-dkms/ [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/wireless-bcm43142-dkms/ Thank you!
