[aur-general] Request merge of python-fftw3 into python2-fftw3
by Paul Viren 23 Jan '14

23 Jan '14

I renamed it because the python bindings are python2 only. Note that there are two sets of python bindings for fftw. This package uses the older one called PyFFTW3. There is another package called python2-fftw, but that uses a newer set of bindings called PyFFTW. There seem to be a fair number of arch users using the older bindings.

[aur-general] moving libpaper to extra / new (Calligra/LibO) Office related libs
by Andreas Radke 23 Jan '14

23 Jan '14

I'd like to make use of libpaper in Ghostscript, Cups and LibreOffice. So I will move it to extra and will maintain it there. Also I was told that Callibre can make use of certain libraries in future versions that are already part of the internal LibreOffice sources. I will do some investigation and will decide if we make them system libs so we can do shared linking to these libs. Please have a look at the PKGBUILD, what internal sources we will use in LibO 4.2 : https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/tree/trunk/PKGBUILD.42… -Andy

[aur-general] AUR split package submission error
by Michael Schubert 22 Jan '14

22 Jan '14

Hi, I'm trying to update my package blast+-bin, but I get an "the AUR does not support split packages" error. The package is not split (as in, it does not create two packages) but it uses a hack to use platform-dependent sources and md5sums. Is there any recommendation on how to handle such cases?- I didn't find anything on the wiki. PKGBUILD: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/bl/blast+-bin/PKGBUILD cheers Michael

I guess it's better to just leave a comment on AUR page (as you already did) and update the checksums. As it is indeed the upstream url and you cannot get in touch with him, I don't see any better choice :( > Please let me know if you can help, and sorry for the long email. Regards, Felix Yan

Could chromium-pepper-flash be merged into chromium-pepper-flash-dev as it's more appropriate name? I'm the maintainer of both of them.

[aur-general] awesome-git in AUR is outdated
by Sergey Yakovlev 21 Jan '14

21 Jan '14

Hi all! The package awesome-git in AUR marked as outdated. At least message about missed dependencies is enough old - last notice about missed dependency 2013-10-28 09:52 After a brief communication on the #awesome IRC-channel and my own tests, I saw that for the awesome-git package really didn't enough xcb-util-cursor. Since the maintainer of this package doesn't show interest to update it, I would support it in the future if it is possible. Best regards, Sergey Yakovlev

[aur-general] delete request: python25-pil
by Jerome Leclanche 21 Jan '14

21 Jan '14

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python25-pil/ PIL was replaced with Pillow anyway pretty much everywhere on arch. On that note, *most* of these can probably go: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/?O=0&K=python25 I'd keep python25 and python25-pip... The GAE packages can go since it's now on python 2.7, rest is pretty much not needed anyway. J. Leclanche
