Hi, my first email to the list! The maintainer of the pdfjam package hasn't maintained it for more than 3 years now. Please orphan the package so that I can maintain it. pdfjam: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=2737 Dami

[aur-general] Orphaning request
by Christoph Zeiler 23 Mar '09

23 Mar '09

Could a TU please orphan the package "eduke32" by user "funkyou"? The software has had three new releases since the PKGBUILD was last updated, which was in 08/12/05. 11 days ago I posted a comment on the package's page to notify the maintainer that the PKGBUILD is in need of updating. I also stated the PKGBUILD needs a general overhaul as it's not meeting the packaging guidelines. I didn't receive a response, so I sent him an email four days ago, no response to it either.

[aur-general] Uploading 32bit packages from 64bit system
by Timm Preetz 22 Mar '09

22 Mar '09

Hi, today I finally setup my 32bit build machine, to be able to provide builds for i686 just in time with the ones for 64bit systems. First of all, I put the CVS repo on the new computer, then SSH into it and makepkg the packages. (From my normal work machine I use import the CVS repo from the 32bit machine as filesystem, so I don't have to keep two repos in sync). So now I have the 32bit build on my building machine, and can easily access that from my normal pc. I there a way to upload that very 32bit build to community? Or do I have to install "communitypkg" also on that remote machine? This would be easily done, but I would hate spreading my passwords to other machines. Regards, Timm

[aur-general] TU application: Chris Brannon
by Chris Brannon 22 Mar '09

22 Mar '09

Hello everyone! I wish to become an ArchLinux Trusted User. To that end, here is a bit of information pertaining to me. I started using Linux in the summer of 2000. Before that time, I used Unix shell accounts offered by various Internet service providers. I've been using some flavor of *nix since 1995. I'm blind, and I've always worked from a text console. Dialup Unix shell accounts had mostly vanished by 2000, so I installed Slackware. I used Slackware until early 2007, and I learned a great deal about Linux in the process. I could describe my reasons for dropping Slackware, but I won't. It's a fine distribution, and the answer to the "which distribution is best" question is mostly subjective. After looking at several distros, I settled on Arch in September of 2008. Moving to Arch was easy for me, because of my years of experience with Slackware. Currently, I maintain 8 packages in unsupported, and this number is growing. See the following URL for my work: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?SeB=m&K=cmb My username on the BBS, AUR, and wiki is cmb. I want to do my part to make ArchLinux more accessible to the blind. My first order of business is to submit two packages to the community repository: speakup and espeakup. These two packages provide one reliable method of supplying spoken output from the text console under Linux. I will endeavor to faithfully represent the interests of the whole ArchLinux user community, not just those of the tiny subset who are blind. Allan McRae is my sponsor. Thank you Allan. With kind regards, -- Chris

by Jens Maucher 21 Mar '09

21 Mar '09

Hi all, i'm using Arch since Gimmick (0.72), and now i think it is time to be a part of active members like trusted users. About me: My name is Jens and i'm from Germany, 36 years young (old? *g*), and i'm working as an electronic technician. During my freetime i'm actually learning for my big ham-radio licence python and a bit of bash programming. At the moment i maintain 19 packages (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?SeB=m&K=defcon) On the forum, wiki, aur and on irc i'm named as 'defcon' Feel free to ask me, if something is obscure or you want to know more about me. Of cource i'm looking for someone to sponsor me (Stefan Husman, do u like to this job? ;) ) Kind regards Jens 'defcon' Maucher

[aur-general] TU Application: Xyne
by xyne 20 Mar '09

20 Mar '09

Hi all, I'd like to apply to become a TU. Allan has agreed to be my sponsor. My reasons for wanting to become a TU are the following: I want to help out, improve Arch in general and give back to the distro (the typical clichéd response, but true nonetheless). I intend to eventually maintain some of my own packages in the community repo (not only them though). I hope to learn more about what goes on behind the scenes. I want to participate in decisions that affect Arch. Everyone keeps telling me to become a TU. I heard TUs get free tacos. As for packaging experience, I currently maintain 24 packages in the AUR (under the same name) and I host a public repo on my site (http://xyne.archlinux.ca/repositories) I've also played around with a few local repos (e.g. metapax pkgs, local AUR binary repos, customized ABS packages) and have written some tools that deal with pkg and repo creation and maintenance (makerepo, metapax, pacpan). I'll admit that many of the PKGBUILDs for my own tools are trivial but some of the ones I maintain in the AUR aren't. I've also managed to work my way through the (g)vi(m) PKGBUILDs and scripts to get them to build with the latest patch level at the time :P . Overall, I still consider myself somewhat new to Linux and I haven't yet had to patch anything myself or deal with really complicated build errors, but I'm sure that I'll learn how to handle such issues as I'm learning the rest of it. I tend to know my own limits and generally don't dive into things that I can't handle, so you don't have to worry about me borking anything. For those of you who don't know me, I'm quite active on the forum so you can probably get a general idea of who I am from my posts there. Thanks for considering this application. /Xyne

[aur-general] Request: Delete/rename mislabeled "rudl" package
by Henning Bekel 18 Mar '09

18 Mar '09

I maintain an package called "rudl" in unsupported. It provides ruby bindings to SDL, and it's a nice (more ruby-ish) alternative to ruby-sdl. I simply called it "rudl" back then, but now I think it should be renamed to "ruby-rudl", following the naming scheme other ruby packages use. If you agree, please remove it, and I'll upload a properly named package. Henning

[aur-general] Request: Delete duplicate package libdb-ruby
by Sven-Hendrik Haase 17 Mar '09

17 Mar '09

ruby-bdb and libdb-ruby are effectively the same. I suggest the removal of libdb-ruby because it got there two years later and its PKGBUILD is a little off. Also, 'libdb' is Debian style and I don't think we want that here :P

[aur-general] Delete duplicate xampp package
by Sven-Hendrik Haase 16 Mar '09

16 Mar '09

Currently, there are two packages for xampp that do the same thing: xampp-linux, which was there two years earlier and just xampp. The xampp PKGBUILD is pretty much the xampp-linux PKGBUILD with added stuff for taking care of x86_64 because the regular xampp-linux package will not work properly with x86_64. Therefore, this situation is a little complicated. I propose the deletion of the xampp package and notification of the xampp-linux package maintainer in order to make the package x86_64 compatible.

[aur-general] Integrity Check status page
by Xavier 13 Mar '09

13 Mar '09

I regularly check out the new results of the Integrity Checks, but it is not always easy to remember which issues were already reported and where. So I created my first wiki page to track that : http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Integrity_Check If you think this page is useful, but could be improved (more information, different layout), suggestions are welcome. Anyway, it could really be useful only if a few dev and TUs could check it and update it regularly.
