by tuftedocelot＠fastmail.fm 06 Feb '14

06 Feb '14

Here's the laundry list of mcabber-modules that can be removed from the AUR for reasons given below. The thread here[1] is the one that started this all and I'm marking it here so the history is linked. [2] activity-hg: functionality is present in pep-hg and the repo no longer exists [3] beep-git: functionality is already present in upstream and another package is unnecessary [4] fifo-git: functionality merged into upstream [5] geoloc-hg: functionality is present in pep-hg and the repo no longer exists [6] help-git: repo no longer exists [7] ibb-git: superseded by jingle-git and the repo no longer exists [8] mood-hg: functionality is present in pep-hg and the repo no longer exists [9] notifymsg-git: repo no longer exists [10]: sourcedir-git: repo no longer exists [11]: tune-hg: functionality is present in pep-hg and the repo no longer exists I've started working on the packages whose repos do still exist and will get updated PKGBUILDs out over the next few days.

SQLite3 is not going away. SQLite3 and SQLite4 will be supported in parallel. The SQLite3 legacy will not be abandoned. SQLite3 will continue to be maintained and improved.

Could a TU please delete mingw-w64-sqlite https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/mingw-w64-sqlite . I'll try to contact the maintainer of the sqlite package in extra and see what his plans are. -ant32

[aur-general] Removing stale accounts from the AUR
by Lukas Fleischer 05 Feb '14

05 Feb '14

Hi, I plan to remove all AUR accounts that have not been used for at least 500 days (according to the last login time stamp). This affects ~35000 users, see [1] for a complete list. If your account is on that list and you think it shouldn't be there, please let me know. Side effects: * The ~2000 packages maintained by these users will be orphaned. * All ~20000 comments written by any of the users will be removed. * Votes will be retained. Regards, Lukas [1] http://sprunge.us/LBSe

[aur-general] Duplicate packages
by Allen Li 05 Feb '14

05 Feb '14

I just noticed that there are three packages for The Dark Mod game in the AUR: darkmod, v2.00-1, maintainer caemir doom3-darkmod, v1.08-1, orphan thedarkmod, v2.0-4, maintainer naelstrof Do we have a policy for handling such situations? It seems like it would be in everyone's best interests to merge into one package to minimize maintenance costs. Allen

[aur-general] [mcabber-hg] Disownment Request
by tuftedocelot 05 Feb '14

05 Feb '14

To whom it may concern, I am requesting disownment of the mcabber-hg[1] AUR package so I may claim maintainership. I contacted the current maintainer two weeks ago[2] about merging in my PKGBUILD to improve functionality, but also to bring it up to the current PKGBUILD standards. I have not received a reply from the maintainer. One interesting thing to note is that the last updated date will change on a regular basis (usually around 23:00), but the PKGBUILD itself is unchanged. The PKGBUILD is actually useless by itself as it requires the user to manually fetch the sources before running makepkg -s. Regards, Lucas [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/mcabber-hg/ [2] Date: Wed, 22 Jan 2014 12:25:40 -0600 From: tuftedocelot <tuftedocelot(a)saga.silenceisdefeat.net> To: nixtrian(a)gmail.com Subject: mcabber-hg PKGBUILD User-Agent: Mutt/1.5.21 (2010-09-15) Hi nixtrian, I took a bit of time to rework your PKGBUILD for mcabber-hg and was wondering if you could take a look at it. It adds in support for libotr4, version numbering from commits, adds in the source paramter for cloning, and I've split the build function into build and package functions. It worked fine on my machine and a friend's so it should be ready to roll. https://gist.github.com/tuftedocelot/8564092 Let me know what you think... Thanks, Lucas

[aur-general] Package of Questionable Legality
by Sam Stuewe 05 Feb '14

05 Feb '14

Free-cinema [1], appears to be of very questionable legality. It appears that it was designed specifically to be used for pirating movies. I don't know what the protocol is for dealing with this, just thought it was worth reporting. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/free-cinema/ -- All the best, Sam Stuewe (HalosGhost)

[aur-general] Deletion of "flashplugin-aur"
by Noel Kuntze 05 Feb '14

05 Feb '14

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hello mailing list, I disregarded the top most rule of the AUR and uploaded a newer PKGBUILD for an already supported package, but noticed that after I already uploaded it. So I'd like to get rid of it now, which is only possible if one privileged person deletes it. The package name is "flashplugin-aur". I'd be grateful if that could be done.
