[aur-general] Package delete request
by Christoph Seitz 22 Mar '13

22 Mar '13

Hi TUs, please delete the me-tv2-bzr [1] package. The development stopped 2 years ago and the maintainer changed. The new one chose to do a complete rewrite and me-tv2 was discontinued. The current development version is found in me-tv-bzr. [2] Regards Chris [1]https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/me-tv2-bzr/ [2]https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/me-tv-bzr/

Would it be possible for you to disown this package. An email was sent to the maintainer a week ago from this post and no response. They also have other out of date packages since december of last year. Thanks.

[aur-general] exec and argument list too long
by arnaud gaboury 22 Mar '13

22 Mar '13

Dear list, I came to this issue when building android: make: execvp: /bin/bash: Argument list too long >From what I understand, the reason for this annoyance is that Linux kernel has a limitation of bytes it can process through as arguments in exec() commands. This issue is quite new and arise with Kernel > 3.8.1. I am currently on 3.8.3-2 ARCH from testing. I am a little bit confused in getting my current value. [gabx@magnolia:~]$ egrep ARG_MAX /usr/include/linux/limits.h #define ARG_MAX 131072 /* # bytes of args + environ for exec() */ [gax@magnolia:~]$ getconf ARG_MAX 16777216 As you can see, these two commands don't return the same number. I couldn't find any clean and working workaround to bypass this limit when building. Can I pass any extra argument when invoking make at build time? The only good workaround would be to build the Linux Kernel and change the ARG_MAX variable to a larger size, but I do not want to do that. Thank you for any tips. Regards.

[aur-general] Merge and Delete requests
by Doug Newgard 21 Mar '13

21 Mar '13

**DELETE** I knew that ecomporph would be completely dead with the E18 release later this year, but nobody could tell me for sure if it worked with the E17 release or not. I've now been told by someone who followed it closely that it stopped working a couple of months before the release. Since E18 won't support external compositors at all, it's a dead end and nobody's bothering to fix it. I already removed the info from the Wiki, just need to remove the packages now. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ecomorph/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ecomorph-git/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ecomp-git/ **MERGE** Enlightenment is switching from SVN to Git. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/elocation-svn/ INTO https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/elocation-git/ Thanks Doug Newgard (Scimmia)

[aur-general] git-flow-git and gitflow-git merged?
by Mateusz Loskot 21 Mar '13

21 Mar '13

Hi, I wonder, would it be possible to request merging these two packages? https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/git-flow-git/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gitflow-git/ First, they are maintained by two different maintainres. Second, git-flow-git uses name which is incorrect. Call me pedantic, but Vincent Driessen's created GitFlow, not "Git Flow". I hope maintainers of both lurk on this list and could agree to merge these two. By the way, shouldn't the installation step be executed from package() instead of build() as it's now? Best regards, -- Mateusz Loskot, http://mateusz.loskot.net
