[aur-general] [Delete Request] libupstart gmock-make
by Charles Bos 02 Apr '14

02 Apr '14

Hello, Could the following packages be deleted please: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/libupstart/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gmock-make/ I created them to try and satisfy some Unity dependencies but I've got patches now which solve the issues better so these two packages are now useless. Thanks

[aur-general] April Fools' Day jokes in AUR
by Lukas Jirkovsky 01 Apr '14

I feel that this PKGBUILD needs to be preserved for future generations after it has been deleted from AUR: pkgname=secure-certificates pkgver=0 pkgrel=0 pkgdesc="Trust no one" arch=(any) license=('WTFPL') url=('https://127.0.0.1') conflicts=('ca-certificates') provides=('ca-certificates') build() { echo "diy or die!" } package() { echo "nothing to do here too" }

[aur-general] Compiz 0.9 packages cleanup, mergers?
by Charles Bos 01 Apr '14

01 Apr '14

There are a great deal of orphaned Compiz 0.9 packages in the AUR, some for the stable releases and some for bazaar. They are all on around 0.9.5 or 0.9.7. These are the packages I'm referring to: for stable release: * ccsm-dev -- https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ccsm-dev/ * compiz-plugins-extra-dev -- https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/comp ... extra-dev/ <https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/compiz-plugins-extra-dev/> * compiz-plugins-main-dev -- https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/comp ... -main-dev/ <https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/compiz-plugins-main-dev/> * compizconfig-backend-gconf-dev -- https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/comp ... gconf-dev/ <https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/compizconfig-backend-gconf-dev/> * compizconfig-backend-gsettings-dev -- https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/comp ... tings-dev/ <https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/compizconfig-backend-gsettings-dev/> * compizconfig-python-dev -- https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/comp ... ython-dev/ <https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/compizconfig-python-dev/> * libcompizconfig-dev -- https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/libcompizconfig-dev/ for development release: * ccsm-bzr -- https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ccsm-bzr/ * compiz-core-bzr -- https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/compiz-core-bzr/ * compiz-plugins-extra-bzr -- https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/comp ... extra-bzr/ <https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/compiz-plugins-extra-bzr/> * compiz-plugins-main-bzr -- https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/comp ... -main-bzr/ <https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/compiz-plugins-main-bzr/> * compizconfig-backend-gconf-bzr -- https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/comp ... gconf-bzr/ <https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/compizconfig-backend-gconf-bzr/> * compizconfig-backend-gsettings-bzr -- https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/comp ... tings-bzr/ <https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/compizconfig-backend-gsettings-bzr/> * compizconfig-python-bzr -- https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/comp ... ython-bzr/ <https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/compizconfig-python-bzr/> * libcompizconfig-bzr -- https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/libcompizconfig-bzr/ As I understand it, Compiz upstream no longer packages all these components separately. They are all developed and packaged together in one launchpad project. That is why we have two main packages in the AUR for installing Compiz 0.9, compiz-dev and compiz-bzr. I've had a look on launchpad and this seems to be the case. For instance: The compiz-ccsm page (https://launchpad.net/compiz-ccsm) lists 0.9.5.92 as the latest version when it's actually 0.9.10. Therefore (unless I am much mistaken) all the packages above are obsolete and can never be updated to their latest upstream versions. I propose that all the dev packages above be merged with compiz-dev (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/compiz-dev/) and all the bazaar packages be merged with compiz-bzr (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/compiz-bzr/)

[aur-general] Delete proposal: asus-screen-brightness
by Jerome Leclanche 01 Apr '14

01 Apr '14

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/asus-screen-brightness/ - The entirety code is stored in the source package - It's just a bash file and a system service file (which is not useful) - xorg-xbacklight provides the same functionality without requiring root. That said it's referenced in the wiki as an alternative to xorg-xbacklight which I... don't quite get. J. Leclanche
