Hi everyone, this package is orphaned and won't compile (even after adding HAL as dependecy): https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/battery-applet-4-xfce4/ I think it needs to be removed. Thanks, Edoardo

smc and smc-data will be moved AUR soon cegui will be updated to last version and smc doesn't support it. Current version is already patched for cegui in community, and upstream hasn't release new smc version for years. Regards -- Laurent Carlier ArchLinux Developer http://www.archlinux.org

[aur-general] Merge/removal requests
by Fantix King 03 Jul '13

03 Jul '13

Hi, Could someone please remove these two: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/linux-x32/ Remove, because the official kernel included it. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/virtualbox-modules-x32/ Remove, same reason above. And please merge: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/libx32-sqlite3/ merge into https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/libx32-sqlite/ following an upstream renaming, and https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/libx32-blas/ merge into https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/libx32-lapack/ because libx32-lapack included libx32-blas. Thanks! BR, Fantix

[aur-general] Aggressive deletions?
by enderst 02 Jul '13

02 Jul '13

Not sure how pkgs are checked before deletion but Autoscan was deleted reason was no source. It’s just a broken link: http://autoscan.fr/download_files/autoscan-network-1.50.tar.gz Should be: http://autoscan-network.com/download_files/autoscan-network-1.50.tar.gz Clearly they've changed domains and haven't updated their links. So source is available and binaries for major platforms: http://autoscan-network.com/download/ enderst

[aur-general] Request transfer of ownership of AUR packages
by Siddhartha Sahu 02 Jul '13

02 Jul '13

Hi! There are two AUR packages that I'm using personally, and they haven't been updated for a while. I have also indicated so to the maintainers both in comments and using email to their respective email ids (on 9th May) I haven't received any reply yet. I have written the new PKGBUILDs myself so I was wondering if I could take over the maintenance of these two packages? https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/verlihub https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/verlihub-git Thanks! Siddhartha (sdh)
