[aur-general] Multiple Removal Request
by Edoardo Maria Elidoro 24 Jun '13

24 Jun '13

Hi everyone, here's a little list of package that need to be removed in my opinion. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xfce4-appfinder-devel/ is some sort of duplicate and deprecate version of https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xfce4-appfinder-git/ so it's pretty useless. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xfce4-dev-tools-devel/ is some sort of duplicate and deprecate version of https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xfce4-dev-tools-git/ so it's useless too. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xfce4-session-lock-screen/ is an orphan, deprecated package with few votes and there's no an upstream project. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xfwm-theme-grayrevenge/ is included in https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gtk-theme-grayrevenge/. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xfdesktop-standalone/ is deprecated and orphaned (and pretty useless IMHO, it just install Xfdesktop). https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xfprint-devel/ very old package, orphaned and no longer part of Xfce. Have a nice day, Edoardo

[aur-general] Various requests

Is it OK to merge (transfer votes) https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gedit-classbrowser/ with https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gedit-classbrowser-git/ ? The former is missing source and even the website is gone, so I don't know if it's the same software. I asked for removal of other -wz packages and that left https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pplive-wz/ hanging so I guess it makes sense to remove it too. I reqested merging https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/eduke32-polymer-hrp/ with https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/eduke32-hrp/ because according to the comments, the former is obsolete. These packages are not merged, so either they slipped through or there's a reason not to merge them the TU forgot to share :-) https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/claws-pdf-viewer/ and others below seem to be candidates for removal but https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/notification_plugin_unread/ says it sometimes makes sense to keep them https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/rssyl/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/claws-mail-notification/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/claws-mail-gtkhtml2viewer/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/claws-mail-fancy/ Most of them have maintainers but the sources are gone.

[aur-general] Merge request: aquaria-hib-git -> aquaria-git
by Sam S. 23 Jun '13

23 Jun '13

Hi, Could you please merge https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/aquaria-hib-git/ into https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/aquaria-git/ ? I'm the submitter and maintainer of both packages. Reasoning: Currently, aquaria-hib-git takes the proprietary Aquaria game data from the Humble Bundle archive, but replaces some game files and the executable with an improved GPL version compiled from git. Thanks to recent upstream changes to the GPL executable, it has now become possible to separate out the installation of the proprietary game files into their own package ("aquaria-data-hib"). What remains of "aquaria-hib-git" should be called "aquaria-git" to reflect this, so I have re-uploaded it under this new name. Benefits include: - proprietary and GPL stuff is no longer mixed in the same package - no need for users to supply the Humble Bundle game archive again, each time they install a new version of the executable - in the future, "aquaria-data-hib" could be complemented by drop-in alternatives like "aquaria-data-steam", "aquaria-data-demo", ... Thanks!
