[aur-general] Unexpected aur package removal.
by Yichao Yu 14 Mar '13

14 Mar '13

Hi, A TU "gtmanfred" have just decided to remove one of my package just one minute after he commented on the package pointed out the missing package() in the PKGBUILD without any further explaination. The package is python-django-git[0], which I have uploaded 2-3 days ago[1] to replacing two old packages including one with 3 vote that I uploaded last Nov. I have already re-upload the package[0] since I don't think anything is wrong with the package (especially not for the package name, I can fix it if anything else with the package is wrong). And I just want to know if that was a delete by mistake or a missing package() somehow is enough reason to remove a package within ~1min after notifying the maintainer now?

[aur-general] [Search] AUR Maintainer for Kolab 3 groupware and/or Evolution Kolab plugin?
by t|ask 13 Mar '13

13 Mar '13

Hi, I hope I'm at the right place to ask for help, but let's begin :) The KOLAB (http://kolab.org/) Groupware project is searching for AUR maintainers for their open source groupware solution. Unfortunately, this project is not well known outside of Germany. Therefore, probably you've never heard of it :( That's sad, because it's an already very feature-rich and well developed FOSS groupware solution. They just need some help to bring it to ArchLinux. Their new version 3.0 comes with many new professional features and already supports many open source PIM clients. For further details please read their about page: http://kolab.org/about or even better, just register your own DEMO server account at: http://kolabsys.com/try I had a chat with "grote" at their IRC channel irc://kolab@irc.freenode.net today and we think it will be great to find some AUR maintainers for them. Please reply, get in contact with "grote" via IRC or use their community page at http://kolab.org/community They appreciate every support. You could also begin with maintaining the small Evolution-Kolab project "Evolution-Kolab". Their small team did nice work with bringing Kolab Groupware features to Gnome Evolution PIM. They are just too small to build distribution packages beside developing their plugin. If you have the time for a smaller project, feel free to get their current code from GIT at https://git.gnome.org/browse/evolution-kolab/ and/or contact Christian (xtian) via IRC #evolution at irc.gnome.org I hope, someone can help with Kolab or the smaller Evolution Kolab project. Let's bring Kolab to ArchLinux. Thank you in advance. Kind Regards, t|ask
