Hi folks, I'd like to contribute more to Arch. Currently, I have two packages I maintain in AUR. But is there more I can do? I can provide a resume, etc. for review too if that is required. Thanks, Farhan

[aur-general] Should {libwebkit,libsoup}-newest be deleted
by Nezmer＠allurelinux.org 13 Oct '09

13 Oct '09

hi, As you might already know , webkit-gtk and its dependency libsoup are always under heavy development . I added {libwebkit,libsoup}-newest PKGBUILDS to the AUR because libwebkit releases started to depend on development releases from libsoup(2.27.x) . With gnome 2.28.x entering extra , the *-newest packages provide the same versions available in the official repos. Should I ask for the deletion of those packages ? Or keep them around in case webkit starts to depend on libsoup 2.29.x ?

[aur-general] AUR "Jamie" account
by Xyne 13 Oct '09

13 Oct '09

A user by the name of "Jamie" on the forum wants an AUR account with the same name: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=81872 The problem is that the account is already taken but whoever owns it has never used it to upload a package or vote. If it were up to me alone, I would try to contact the owner of the account and either request that (s)he give it up if I get a response or simply switch it over otherwise. My reasoning is that it makes more sense to have the same name on the forum and the AUR (and everything else with a separate account) because it makes it easy to know who's who, which has implications for the AUR. What do the other TUs (and interested devs) think? I think this is a rare enough event to not have to worry about a flood of requests to grab matching names on the AUR. Btw, in case you're wondering, Jamie tried to post a message to the list following my suggestion on the forum but it apparently didn't get through so he asked me to do it, hence this message. Regards, Xyne

[aur-general] Please delete hdtfs
by Anton Shestakov 13 Oct '09

Package hdtfs[1] is a clone of dhtfs[2] with the only difference being its incorrect name. Both packages provide dhtfs. [1] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=28128 [2] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=27458

[aur-general] Request for removal (gnome-bluetooth-svn, obexd-client)
by Joeny Ang 13 Oct '09

13 Oct '09

Hello, The following packages can now be removed: 1. gnome-bluetooth-svn (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=27134) Gnome has migrated to GIT, and the SVN is not updated anymore. 2. obexd-client (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=28046) This is now a duplicate of the obexd package in extra since the one in extra is also compiled with --disable-server flag. Thanks. Joeny (Biloky in AUR)

[aur-general] TU Application
by Angel Velásquez 12 Oct '09

12 Oct '09

Hi all, I'd like to re-apply to my TU position. Since I've resigned [0], many things happened, in my life, and work. In these times I was very dissapointed about myself, cause I was having problems to handle my life, my projects, and of course, Arch, then I decided to go on with less workload at least. Now, I have free time again to dedicate it to the community and the project, and my goals this time are more specific from my first application [1], this time I'd like to: a) Improve and support the python and haskell scene since I am enthusiastic of these languages b) To help others TU, or Devs (with the permission of them), to reduce their loads on community doing tests, maintaining, updating or just simply building their packages in the differents architectures (I have i686 and x86_64 but now I am using x86_64) c) Report, and close bugs from me and others TU or Devs (away or with highly load), of course with the permission of them. d) Maintain and collaborate with the Arch Project in general, writting in the wiki, random coding, etc. I talked with Evangelos Foutras a.k.a foutrelis to ask him if he would like to be my sponsor, and he accepted, so since I knew many of you when I was a TU, I hope you will recognize my skills and my dedication on this project, and even when I wasn't active (as a TU) I ever tried to be helping with the distro, and I always try to do my best overall. Sincerely.

[aur-general] Duplicate packages
by Vojtech Horky 12 Oct '09

12 Oct '09

Hi, I found that there are two packages providing the same program(s): * gcu (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=21896) * gnome-chemistry-utils (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=24793) Could one of the TUs, please, delete one of them (IMHO gcu is packaged better)? Thanks - Vojta

To be honest I don't actually use the software actively, and I wouldn't know where to begin with selecting how/if it should be patched. Maybe another TU would like to take over the package from me?

[aur-general] Small regexp to update md5 in PKGBUILD
by Sergej Pupykin 09 Oct '09

09 Oct '09

Hi, This script updates or inserts md5sum just run this script in PKGBUILDs dir. It works for my packages at least) It is better than makepkg -g >>PKGBUILD because it inserts md5 just before build() function.

Hi, rubyroom hasn't been updated (submitted) since 19 Nov 2008. I e-mailed the maintainer almost two months ago and have not got any reply. If the package is disowned, I can fix it. I have the PKGBUILD ready. Thanks, Alexander Rødseth

Could the package 'shed' be orphaned please? I will maintain it. It lacks the x86_64 arch and does the licenses field improperly, and the maintainer has ignored comments saying so since early this year. Thanks :)

[aur-general] [Deletion request] cl-asdf-install
by joyfulgirl 08 Oct '09

[cl-asdf-install][1] is now included by default in the [cl-asdf][2] package, so there's not much of a need for this package to hang around. I made a note on the cl-asdf-install page a while back that the package has been absorbed by cl-asdf; I figure enough time has passed for users to have upgraded cl-asdf and switched over. [1]: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=18801 [2]: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=18800 Anyway, thanks! Ivy

[aur-general] [Orphaning some packages] Lazy, lazy, lazy
by joyfulgirl 07 Oct '09

07 Oct '09

Hey, folks, Just getting the word out that several of my AUR packages have been orphaned. In most of these cases, I've just found that I actually tend to prefer to manually track them; in the case of screen-vs, I've been using tmux lately. Here's a compleat list: - [cl-asdf][http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=18800] - [cl-ppcre][http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=14549] - [clx][http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=12084] - [emms][http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=18853] - [screen-vs][http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=6006] - [stumpwm-git][http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=12996] None of these are much work. Share & enjoy! Thanks, Ivy
