29 Jun '09

Hey There, Could someone please delete the package http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=25239 ? The final release is out now; so there's no need to maintain this package any more..? Alper KANAT <alperkanat(a)raptiye.org>

by Sergej Pupykin 29 Jun '09

29 Jun '09

Hi, after aur moving, I can't upload package, bigger than 100-200Kb. connection hangs after this size uploaded. I sniff conversation with wireshark and found 'TCP Acked lost segment' packet near the end. May be uploading is in progress, but very very slow. Please advise, how can I test it to find where is the problem? (ssh, cvs works quite slowly, but don't hangs)

[aur-general] Please move orphaned package tor from extra to AUR
by Rorschach 29 Jun '09

29 Jun '09

Hi, the package tor in the extra repository (http://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/i686/tor/) has no maintainer at the moment. Next to that there are two security vulnerabilities in that version in extra at the moment. Can you move it to AUR so I can maintain it? greetings

Hello. The AUR package 'mod_scgi' seems not to have a maintainer. I would be willing to take the maintenance of this package. My AUR account is 'henux'. http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=22171 http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?SeB=m&K=henux Regards, Henri Häkkinen

[aur-general] [NOTICE] For Trusted Users. Update your CVS settings.
by Loui Chang 28 Jun '09

28 Jun '09

The new CVS setup uses ssh, so you will need a shell account. Please email me your ssh public key to set that up. For dealing with CVS please follow these instructions: Set CVS_RSH in your shell export CVS_RSH=ssh Update your CVSROOT settings to :ext:USER@aur.archlinux.org:/srv/cvs/community Where USER is your ssh login name. The quick way of changing your CVSROOT cd to directory with community checkout: find -name Root -exec sed -i 's/^:pserver.*/:ext:USER@archlinux.org:/srv/cvs/community/' {} \; It's preferred to edit your current checkout rather than making a new one, to reduce server load. Cheers!

[aur-general] Remove vim-scripts-align
by Magnus Therning 28 Jun '09

28 Jun '09

Please remove this package (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=26319) I have no intention of supporting it as the upstream author makes it available as a VBA. This means it can be easily kept up-to-date from inside Vim using GetLatestVimScripts, and pacman need not be involved at all. /M -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) magnus＠therning．org Jabber: magnus＠therning．org http://therning.org/magnus identi.ca|twitter: magthe

[aur-general] automatic package creation from pypi
by Abhishek Dasgupta 27 Jun '09

27 Jun '09

Quite a while back, the idea of automatically creating PKGBUILDs from pypi came up: http://www.archlinux.org/pipermail/aur-general/2008-August/002099.html It'd be really cool if we could get something similar to cabal2arch for PyPI. Checking the PyPiXmlRpc [1] page does not show any field for listing dependencies of the package though. Is there any way of getting the dependencies of a python module programmatically?

[aur-general] The AUR move semi complete
by Loui Chang 27 Jun '09

27 Jun '09

The web site is running and users can interact with the AUR in most of the usual ways. Mail still needs to be set up properly so notifications aren't working right now. I'll also need some more time for setting up community. Syncing the whole repo is taking longer than anticipated.

The AUR has been up for how many years, and I haven't even *heard* of a malicious package. I don't think we should add features (and spend effort coding, and make the interface *more* cluttered) unless there is a need for the feature.

[aur-general] Short Absence
by Aaron Schaefer 27 Jun '09

27 Jun '09

Hey all...just wanted to let you know that I'll be out of town for the next week and a half (I'm getting married!) and won't be touching any Arch-related stuff. I do know that I've got a pending bug report to fix my vim plugin packages, moving them to the new proper location considering the new vim package's structure, so if anyone wants to tackle that, feel free...if not, I'll update them when I get back. Good luck with the AUR server migration! -- Aaron "ElasticDog" Schaefer

[aur-general] Arch Sugar
by Ray Rashif 26 Jun '09

26 Jun '09

Seeing that nobody has stepped up to offer and maintain this cute little thing, I have taken the initiative to start an effort. It's probably due to a lack of interest/need that none of the related packages are in [unsupported] in the first place, but even then I'd like to believe that some of you might be keen on contributing. And so I've put up some fundamentals: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sugar And if you're still staring at this with a question mark while refusing to go to the above wiki page: http://www.sugarlabs.org/ Oh yes I'm spinning this into an Arch "playbox" for my little siblings, particularly the youngest one who's 5 or something. Sure, I could just install the Fedora-based image and let 'er rip, but I wouldn't feel as comfortable =p

[aur-general] Removing comments from AUR

On Wed, Jun 24, 2009 at 17:03, Grigorios Bouzakis<grbzks(a)gmail.com> wrote: > May i suggest something slightly relevant, but probably very radical? > Disable comments on AUR completely. I agree that comments are not terribly useful on community packages, but I think they're important for [unsupported]. Maybe for community packages, only allow comments from the *maintainer* (or TU). My preference is to leave it as is. Granted, sometimes people report issues for community packages on the comment page, but that's no worse than people emailing the maintainer directly (since that's still not on the bug tracker), and is better because it's more visible.

[aur-general] delete request?

Hello, I've just found out that the package bf-blender [1] is exact copy of my package blender-svn [2]. It's maintainer even doesn't bother to mention me in the PKGBUILD although it's clearly visible that only change made to it is adding blender-svn to conflicts and changing description. I think the package bf-blender should be deleted. [1] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=26429 [2] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=13062 thanks in advance, Lukas "stativ" Jirkovsky

[aur-general] Qutim PKGBUILDs cleanup request
by Borislav Gerassimov 25 Jun '09

25 Jun '09

Hi, I'm currently the maintainer of most of the qutim's PKGBUILDs. Recently, some people requested the plugins which add support for different protocols to Qutim, to be named qutim-protocol-*-svn. Some request that the language support should be named l10n, I agreed with that too. For reference, here's the forum topic: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=74108 For changes to take place I'm requesting the following packages to be deleted from the AUR: (These are replaced by qutim-protocol-*-svn PKGBUILDS. I've added replace, conflicts and provides lines to them.) http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=22518 - qutim-plugin-icq-svn http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=25969 - qutim-plugin-irc-svn http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=22516 - qutim-plugin-jabber-svn http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=22523 - qutim-plugin-mrim-svn http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=27276 - qutim-plugin-twitter-svn http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=27278 - qutim-language-bg (replaced by qutim-l10n-bg) I am sorry for any inconvenience to the current users but I hope that there will be fewer unhappy people after that move. If there are any suggestions, please write in the forum topic above in order not to fill this mailing list. -- Поздрави, Борислав! | Greetings, Borislav! ----------------------------------------------------------- Природосъобразно писмо, не печатай!

[aur-general] Moving the AUR/community
by Aaron Griffin 25 Jun '09

25 Jun '09

Hey all, This is part informational, and part not. We have a donated server from SevenL networks that has sat mostly unused up until now. What we would like to do is more the AUR and community on to that machine, so that TUs can get real (limited) shell accounts and the people managing this side of the project get a bit more control. As far as I know, things are almost ready to go, but what we need to do is setup a good time to "freeze" the AUR and community so we can switch over the DNS and change checkout locations. Once this is complete, we can move forward with switching community to SVN and using the official dbscripts for managing the repo. This way you guys can get your own testing repo too! Sooo... the list, as I see it: * Decide on a date and time for the move * Get SSH keys from all TUs * Switch DNS over * Disable the AUR/community on gerolde Anything I'm missing? Suggestions as to a good date?
