[aur-general] Merge request
by David J. Haines 01 Feb '14

01 Feb '14

Hi all, I just took over pioneer and pioneer-git. The way upstream has been releasing things has made it that, under the prior maintainer, pioneer-git was really using upstream's versioning, while pioneer languished under upstream's old versioning system as "alpha"-something. Please merge pioneer-git (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pioneer-git/) into pioneer (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pioneer/) so that I can continue forward with just the one. Thanks! -- David J. Haines djhaines(a)gmx.com 0xAFB3D16D - F929 270F B7C3 78AE A741 434F A7C6 F264 AFB3 D16C

[aur-general] a cpan2aur, npm2aur, gem2arch like utility for Python
by John D Jones III 31 Jan '14

31 Jan '14

I've been looking, but I haven't yet found a utility like cpan2aur or gem2arch, etc for Python 'eggs' or whatever they're called ;-) I use cpan2aur ( well it's underlying module parent ) rather prolifically maintaining my Perl AUR PKGBUILDs, I eventually would like to utilize gem2arch, nodejs-npm2aur etc to take on even more responsibility to ensure that Arch Linux is the home of language library usability awesomeness. Even though I don't like the Python paradigm, I can not be ignorant to the fact that people use it; even if it makes me sad to know people are using it. That said, is anyone aware of, or have plans to make, a pypi2aur like utility ? I'm just planning long term right now, until I perfect my Perl PKGBUILD build server, I won't bite off anything more, but eventually that will reach a mature status and my interests will soon change focus for the other languages. -- Thanks, John D Jones III UNIX Zealot; Perl Lover unixgeek1972(a)gmail.com jnbek1972(a)gmail.com http://zoelife4u.org/

[aur-general] Removal request: octave-java
by Clemens Buchacher 30 Jan '14

30 Jan '14

I am the maintainer of the octave-java package [1]. It is now included in octave since version 3.8 and has been deprecated by the developers. Please remove. [#octave] 20:10 < drizzd> With Octave 3.8 the java package now shadows a lot of core library functions. Are the functions now built-in and the package is deprecated? 20:12 < carandraug> drizzd, yes 20:13 < drizzd> carandraug: thanks 20:13 < carandraug> drizzd, the java package was included in 3.8. It was not a separate work. But we keep it in OF for users with older versions Thanks, Clemens [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/octave-java/

[aur-general] Fwd: AUR Package deleted: mesa9
by Rob McCathie 30 Jan '14

---------- Forwarded message ---------- >From: <aur-notify(a)archlinux.org> >Date: Thu, Jan 30, 2014 at 10:40 AM >Subject: AUR Package deleted: mesa9 >To: > > >lordheavy deleted "mesa9". > >You will no longer receive notifications about this package. Hey TU's, I realise I kinda uploaded this package and quickly disowned it, but there is in fact some serious regressions in mesa 10.x (thus far) for *some* AMD/ATi & Intel GPU users. I wasn't willing to maintaining the package because I personally don't own any of the affected hardware, however AFAIK the state i left the package in when i disowned it was a perfectly working one. I figured someone affected could pick it up. Anyways, just mentioning it. I don't personally care either way. Regards, Rob McCathie (korrode)
