[aur-general] Moving noip from [community] to AUR
by Alexander Rødseth 03 Aug '14

03 Aug '14

Hi, Some time ago I adopted the noip package. It's a GPL client that connects to what seems to be a commercial service offered by no-ip.com. The free service offered by them has a hostname that expires every 30 days. I am a bit surprised that this was an official package in the first place. When asking for opinions on IRC, there was support for moving the noip package to AUR. In addition to this, there seems to be several alternative clients, with slightly different versioning schemes. Both here: http://www.noip.com/download?page=linux and here: http://onevista.com/noip2.html. This confusion generated a low volume of out-of-date flags. It just smells bad. Moving it. -- Best regards, Alexander Rødseth / xyproto

[aur-general] Absence of kdelibs3
by Aaron DeVore 02 Aug '14

02 Aug '14

I noticed that kdelibs3, which was demoted from the main repositories in May, is not present in the AUR. Is this by design or a mistake? There are many packages in the AUR that depend on kdelibs3, so not having it available breaks all of those packages. Whether some of those packages should be deleted is another story, though. -Aaron DeVore

[aur-general] Fwd: [Server/distributed Arch] nagios/nrpe -> [community]
by Ido Rosen 02 Aug '14

02 Aug '14

Hi all, I'd like to amend my previous request for lldpd and/or ladvd to be moved to [community] or [extra], and add these packages: nagios nagios-nrpe nagios-nrpe-plugin (?) nagios-nsca Again, there are not many people using Arch in data center environments, so the vote counts on these packages may be disproportionately smaller relative to their actual importance to the Arch community in terms of installed machines. We have a lot of work to do in order to make ArchLinux more friendly to administrate in large, distributed deployments such as globally distributed data centers out of the box in a supported/official. I'm looking forward to the day Arch can compete with RHEL/Fedora. Ido

[aur-general] R: Moving noip from [community] to AUR
by Giovanni Santini 01 Aug '14

01 Aug '14

Yo, I've just to point out that the free hostname expires just if the IP associated to it is not updated for 30 days. About the moving decision, I've no decisional power for it; I'm using noip2 on my personal Ubuntu Server and I had to compile it on my own (Ubuntu has no AUR and no PPA for it, doh). Maybe I should create a package... :) Kudos, Giovanni -------- Messaggio originale -------- Oggetto:[aur-general] Moving noip from [community] to AUR Da:Alexander Rødseth <rodseth(a)gmail.com> A:Discussion Repository <aur-general(a)archlinux.org> Cc: Hi, Some time ago I adopted the noip package.
