[aur-general] legal question
by Firmicus 06 Apr '09

06 Apr '09

Hi everyone I just noticed that two packages in AUR appear to install fonts whose use is illegal. http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=10408 http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=16470 (here the fonts themselves are pirated) Both packages have many votes. Even though it might not be an infringement from our part to offer the PKGBUILDs, it still does not look very good for Arch Linux to be encouraging the use of illegal software (note that font is also software). Unless someone provides me with good arguments against it, I will delete the above two packages during the next few days. Best, F

[aur-general] TU appliance Jens Maucher (defcon)
by Stefan Husmann 06 Apr '09

06 Apr '09

Hello, the voting period for Defcon has ended, and he did not get the majority of votes. He got four times "yes", eleven times "no" and four abstains. So, that is democracy, but it would be nice if there would be some discussion about the reasons for the failure. Regards Stefan

[aur-general] Maintainer vs Contributor tag let's find a solution ; )
by Angel Velásquez 06 Apr '09

06 Apr '09

Hi, this thread were discussed in the history, so I think is time to clarify and put the correct information to the wiki. (Actually on the recent TU application and sunjdk package). IIRC: a) Maintainer tag in PKGBUILD is just use for people who maintain the binary package generated by this PKGBUILD on official repositories (core, extra, community*), and the people with abilities to do this are TU and Devs. b) Contributor tag is for people who upload the PKGBUILD for first time or is maintaining it at this time. But sometimes this is hard to apply, for example I adopted an orphan PKGBUILD on AUR and I decided to update it and maintain it, what I should have to do: 1.- Should I remove the past contributor and add myself as a Contributor? 2.- Should I keep all the contributor list even if they are more than 4 different people (4 lines more to the PKGBUILD) 3.- Add myself to the maintainer tag? IMO I will use the second option, to keep all the contributor list, maybe tomorrow I won't be able to contribute with this PKGBUILD but it will be nice, to the future owners of these PKGBUILD to know who maintained before them. But maybe we will have a long list of contributors, so, it would be nice to discuss an idea to have tags for maintainers of PKGBUILD with have a binary and contributors of PKGBUILDs, as I said, i would like to improve a method to apply the second idea. Please try to don't flame the ideas, try to propose new ones, or improve the exposed by me. Regards Note: * Many people should disagree with the idea about "community" and "official repo", IMO if community it's enabled by default on pacman, community became official, no matter what the history was... -- Angel Velásquez angvp @ irc.freenode.net Linux Counter: #359909

[aur-general] First Package
by Lucas Salies Brum 05 Apr '09

05 Apr '09

Hello everyone, my name is Lucas Salies Brum, i live in Brazil and this is my first email to this list. Use the Arch for a while, but only now decided to help the community, before submitting my first package to the AUR would eliminate some doubts. In line with that of the PKGBUILD: # $ Id: PKGBUILD, v 1.12 2003/11/06 08:26:13 Exp $ dorphell How to create it? cvs? It is mandatory? To adopt an orphaned package, just download it to correct and re-send? I read various forums and wikis on the AUR, you have some additional tips for me? Thank you very much. P.S.: Sorry for bad english.

[aur-general] Package Duplication / Orphaning (funpidgin/carrier)
by Ronnie Collinson 05 Apr '09

05 Apr '09

Hi, funpidgin was renamed to carrier, additionally for some time carrier has been depending on a package not in a official repo or AUR, a working alternative has been provided in the comments along, with a request from a user for someone else to take over maintainer status, this happened on the 18 March 2009. I would like to volunteer myself to maintain this package. Funpidgin link <http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=15689> Carrier link <http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=17191>

[aur-general] Orphaning request and inactive TUs
by F B 04 Apr '09

04 Apr '09

Hi, could someone orphan the pkg "libclaw"? The user "Nicoco" seems to be inactive. I see that many packages in community maintained by gcarrier are outdated (jre, all virtualbox-ose packages) from a long time. Same situation for Romashka, some of his packages have not been updated since 2007. Could some TUs do something for this situation? Maybe moving them in unsupported. Thank you in advance, Babets.

[aur-general] PKGBUILDs and "floating" source URLs
by Chris Brannon 02 Apr '09

02 Apr '09

Hello! I just adopted the rss2email package from unsupported, and I have a small problem. The URL for the source always points to the latest version of the package. It is http://rss2email.infogami.com/rss2email.py In other words, that URL will refer to a new file as soon as a new version is released. What is the preferred solution? I'm tempted to send a nice note to the author, asking for a static URL. -- Chris
