[aur-general] btrfs-progs packages
by WorMzy Tykashi 24 Sep '13

24 Sep '13

Hi, I've submitted two new btrfs packages to the AUR: btrfs-progs-unstable-integration [0] and btrfs-progs-unstable-integration-git [1], and I'd like opinions on the state of things: a) should btrfs-progs-git [2] should be merged with btrfs-progs-unstable-integration-git, given that the latter is more true to it's name as a -git package, and the former is more of a lagging stable version of the "non-git" integration branch or b) should the non-git, btrfs-progs-unstable-integration package be dropped in favour of the more stable btrfs-progs-git package or c) should all three packages remain or d) should the unstables be merged into one PKGBUILD with the option to let the user choose between "stable" and "next" by setting a variable in it? or e) something else? Personally, I'm happy maintaining all three packages, but I'm aware that I have just tripled the number of btrfs-progs packages in the AUR, which may cause some confusion with some users, and may be considered littering the AUR. Some further information which may be useful: btrfs-progs-git = stable, but stale (no commits since July 5th) btrfs-progs-unstable-integration = unstable, but known to build, snapshot of the integration-next (git) branch btrfs-progs-unstable-integration-git = most unstable, actively committed to, may not always build Thanks.

[aur-general] Remove/merge request: glamor-git -> glamor-egl-git
by Nowaker 24 Sep '13

24 Sep '13

glamor-git [1] has been marked out of date since 2012-10-29, and did not provide=('glamor-egl'). glamor-egl-git [2] does. Besides, I made it almost a 1:1 copy of glamor-git from [extra]. Please remove glamor-git in favor of glamor-egl-git.

[aur-general] gkrellweather orphan
by Jonathan Kotta 24 Sep '13

24 Sep '13

I'd like to take over the gkrellweather package. The maintainer is unresponsive and the PKGBUILD needs updating. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gkrellweather/ -- Thanks, Jonathan Kotta Hofstadter's Law: It always takes longer than you expect, even when you take into account Hofstadter's Law.

Hi, Please, remove xf86-video-intel-plymouth[1] package for its patches are now unneeded for Plymouth to work (checked with gen4 and gen7) and obsolete (the DDX's code has changed too much). [1]: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xf86-video-intel-plymouth/ Thanks, -- Ivan Shapovalov / intelfx /

[aur-general] Announcement: coreutils-static, a statically compiled coreutils
by Nowaker 23 Sep '13

23 Sep '13

Hi, Today I released coreutils-static, a coreutils variant that is statically compiled. The aim of this package is to provide crucial Linux binaries that will be helpful during a disaster. Binaries are compiled with --prefix=/rescue, similar to FreeBSD. My plan is to include util-linux, grep, bash and zsh as well. (Static pacman is already in AUR) -- Kind regards, Damian Nowak StratusHost www.AtlasHost.eu

Re: [aur-general] CSDP and Mosek in AUR :-)
by Ido Rosen 23 Sep '13

23 Sep '13

Hi, I just submitted two packages to AUR, these are my first packages so comments are welcome: coinor-csdp mosek (Note that mosek's "source" is dependent on the target architecture, so it only shows the 32 bit one on the AUR package website.) * CSDP is a C library for Semidefinite Programming, an optimization technique used in machine learning and other areas. It's released under the Common Public License 1.0. * Mosek is a linear, quadratic, conic, and mixed integer programming solver. (Mosek is commercial, but you can get trial or academic licenses for free to use it.) Both packages install their matlab toolboxes into /usr/share/doc/${pkgname}/matlab, for Matlab/Octave users. Both AUR uploads grab the sources from the upstream vendor. I'm maintaining these packages on GitHub, so if you want any changes made to them please submit a pull request or an issue on the GitHub repository located at: https://github.com/ido/packages-archlinux I'd love to see coinor-csdp reach the AUR community repository, since it's CPL licensed and a useful tool, but it's pretty niche software so I'm not holding my breath. :-) Cheers, Ido PS: I am unsubscribing from aur-general now so please CC my email address on replies meant for me.
