[aur-general] Orphan request for Flickr On Plasma
by Bram Schoenmakers 18 Aug '09

18 Aug '09

Hello, I'd like to take over maintenance for the Flickr on Plasma package on AUR [1] (since I'm the author of this plasmoid). I haven't received any answer from Kido both by the AUR comment system and by direct email (requested 27 June and 18 July respectively). Could a TU please orphan this so I can keep this entry up to date? [1] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=22167 Thanks in advance, -- Bram Schoenmakers What is mind? No matter. What is matter? Never mind. (Punch, 1855)

Hi I just adopted and upgraded childsplay and childsplay-alphabet-sounds. From now, childsplay-plugins and childsplay-plugins-lfc are useless and don't work with childsplay > 0.9.

[aur-general] Inactivity (again) - 12th-26th August
by bardo 12 Aug '09

12 Aug '09

Hi all! This afternoon I'll be leaving for HAR (Hacking at Random) in Vierhouten, in the Netherlands! I'll be connected about 24/7 until Monday, but since there will be a lot of nice hackers around I won't probably be checking my Gmail (unless I find some time to setup IMAPS, I don't trust the web interface cookies =P) and won't generally connect to unencrypted services. There's a chance that I'll have a VPN set up from a friend of mine, but it's better to consider me inactive. I'll also have another week off after this, with little to no connection, and I'll be back on August, 26th, hopefully ready to do a better work on Arch than I did in these last few months =) Corrado

Hello, my phone and (more important) ADSL connection at home does not work, so I cannot connect to the net with my archlinux boxes. I hope this will be fixed soon, but now it leads to a unvoluntary inactivity. Regards Stefan

[aur-general] TU dashboard accounts
by Aaron Griffin 11 Aug '09

11 Aug '09

Hello TUs, The last little part of the "official tool" transition is getting you all accounts of the dev dashboard at https://dev.archlinux.org/devel/ In order to do this, I need to go through and add accounts for you all. So I would like you to send me an email (private) containing: Real Name Alias Email address jabber/IRC nicks Website URLs Occupation Year of Birth Geographic Location Languages Known General Interests Favorite Distros A picture if you have one (See http://www.archlinux.org/developers/) With this info, I will begin the slow process of adding accounts. After I add each one, I will send you an email with your password which you will need to change. >From here, you will be able to adopt packages from the web interface (you will need to use dev.archlinux.org to do this), and get out of date notifications Additionally, we have setup a private notification list for orphans which are out of date, as well as the integrity check and cleanup emails. This is not fully complete, but I will point you to this list when I send the password. The reason it is a private list is that "out of date" notifications contain private email addresses, and we don't want them indexed. Let me know if there's anything else I can do. Now we just need to get viewvc working :roll: - Aaron

[aur-general] Enable ACLs on sigurd
by Thomas Bächler 11 Aug '09

11 Aug '09

Can someone who is all-powerful please run: mount -o remount,acl / and add the "acl" option to the appropriate line in /etc/fstab? I noticed that I couldn't set ACLs on sigurd this morning, and it would come in very handy sometimes.

Changing the subject here while we go on this tangent. The reasoning is simple: CACert root certificates aren't generally accepted, and while we actually support them in things like konquerer, firefox and other tools are a different story (silly mozilla). It's just not feasible at this point, so we end up with a certificate that is "untrusted" anyway. Now here's the thing.... we already discussed this, and all I'm doing now is rehashing debates about it. There's not much point in it, and I'm not going to be suddenly convinced to do a bunch of work to change a site that is used by about 30-40 people with no actual benefit besides getting rid of a one-time warning screen. The decision was made, it's over and done with, it's not a big deal.

[aur-general] Incrementing pkgrel
by Nicola Fontana 10 Aug '09

10 Aug '09

Hi all, what is the common practice when facing a PKGBUILD update that does not change the final binary package nor the dependency tree (let's say, a type in an "echo" message or a wrong # Contributor: line)? Do I have to increment the pkgrel value anyway? This is the guilty PKGBUILD: it is pretty straightforward but... just in case I have made some other stupid mistake. http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gtk2panel/gtk2panel/PKGBUILD Thanks in advance. -- Nicola

[aur-general] PKBUILD problems - Tangerine and nini
by Laurie Clark-Michalek 09 Aug '09

09 Aug '09

Hi, I'm having problems updating the aur package tangerine. It has recently been revived (as a progect), and the new developer has stoped including "log4net" and "nini", and instead using system installed ones. I have acordingly updated the depends, but the ./configure script is failing to detect nini. More worrying, when I patch out that check, it fails to find nini for the compile, and generaly colapses in a heap on the floor. Anyway, I was wondering if there was anyway of manualy making it point to /usr/lib/mono/gac, where nini is apparently installed. Also, is this the standard place for nini? This is a general plea for help xD. See PKGBUILD below. # Contributor: Christoph Zeiler <rabyte*gmail> # Contributor: William Rea <sillywilly(a)gmail.com> # Maintainer: Laurie Clark-Michalek <bluepeppers(a)archlinux.us> pkgname=tangerine pkgver=0.3.2 pkgrel=1 pkgdesc="An application that allows you to publish music over the local network using DAAP" arch=('i686' 'x86_64') url="https://launchpad.net/tangerine/" license=('GPL') depends=('gtk-sharp-2' 'daap-sharp' 'libsm' 'muine' 'beagle' 'mono-zeroconf' 'log4net') makedepends=('nini') source=(http://launchpad.net/tangerine/0.3/$pkgver/+download/$pkgname-$pkgv… md5sums=('2b214900f6b39240ca9388cbcf912d2d') build() { cd $pkgname-$pkgver export MONO_SHARED_DIR=$(pwd) ./configure --prefix=/usr make || return 1 make DESTDIR=$pkgdir install } Thanks, Laurie

[aur-general] Orphaning moovida
by Stefan Husmann 09 Aug '09

09 Aug '09

Hello TUs, I would like to get rid of my package moovida since I do not use it. I got two bugreports about it, and so i added the packages python-cssutils-legacy and twisted-web2 to [community] as dependencies. The only other dependencies in [community] are pigment and python-pigment. So if anyone wants to have them, take them. There is also a package python-cssutils in [community]. This formerly was a dependency of moovida, but because of one of the bugreports I reintroduced the older version as python-cssutils-legacy. So python-cssutils now only is needed by two unsupported packages calibre and calibre-ng. Are there objections to move it to [unsupported]? Regards Stefan

Hey, please delete AUR package "matplotlib-mplot3d" because the package is extremely old and completely broken by now (with Python 2.6 anyway) and because it is unnecessary now that matplotlib 0.99 officially adds 3D plot support again (yay!). -- Sven-Hendrik

[aur-general] TU application: Laszlo Papp
by Laszlo Papp 09 Aug '09

09 Aug '09

Hello, I'd like to formally express my interest in becoming a Trusted User. My name is Laszlo Papp and I'm addicted to archlinux. :) I'm a 23 year old from Hungary, working at a resourcement/development company as Embedded Linux Developer. I've been using Linux for more than 7 years. I used Gentoo until early 2008, and I learned a great deal about Linux in the process. I settled on Arch more than 1 year ago, nearly 1 and half :) Moving to Arch was easy for me, because of my years of experience with Gentoo. I was very attracted by the lack of dominance of money and business world and by the warm and friendly community. I have got some experience in Assembly, C, VHDL languages. I have written some open source usb kernel driver (for Passport Reader, Fingerprint Reader, etc.), and a pci kernel driver. I've worked with PIC, AVR microcontrollers, DSP processors, ARM architecture, and FPGA design. I deal with Blackfin DSP board with Embedded Linux on it recently, and I try to help to write C/ASM API for this. My username on the BBS, AUR, Wiki, Bugs, and Freenode is djszapi. Mainly my contribution to archlinux community was on this sites. See the following URL for my packages in AUR: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?SeB=m&K=djszapi I think that Arch does not have a significant presence in the embedded development area of community. I wish to make Arch a viable choice for an embedded developer, by maintaining more popular embedded development related packages in [community]. My Second purpose to do the best support in Arch for vim editor. I like to work from a text console, with framebuffer, and vim :) As a TU, I will offer my knowledge and time to improve my favourite distribution and also the open source world, which gave me so much in the last few years. I would like to add these packages to the [community] repo. 1. AVR microprocessor: avarice, avra, avr-gdb, kontrollerlab, simulavr, tavrasm, uisp, gnome-avrdude 2. PIC microprocessor: picasm, picp, picprog, pikdev, piklab, pk2cmd 3. Blackfin Digital Signal Processor: blackfin-toolchain-elf 4. Tinyos: nesc, tinyos, tinyos-tools 5. ARM architecture: openocd-svn 6. Picoblaze Softcore processor: kpicosim 7. FPGA design: ghdl-bin, verilator 8. Some common, like usb-serial converter driver: libftd2xx. Feel free to ask me, if something is obscure or you would like to know more about me. Thanks to Stefan Husmann for sponsoring me. Best Regards, Laszlo Papp
