I unflagged axel out of date cause it was still flagged when you had uploaded the new version. I just flagged and unflagged it again just to check. Does it still happen? Greg

[aur-general] Updating PKGBUILD tarballs
by Beej Jorgensen 28 Jan '09

28 Jan '09

Hey, guys... I'm a newbie with a question. Presuming I've already uploaded example-4.5-1.src.tar.gz to AUR, when I later make maintenance changes, do I just upload my example-4.6-1.src.tar.gz the same way? That is, will AUR just smartly figure out that it's an update of an existing package? (I'm guessing it'll key off packagename/myname...?) Thanks! -Beej

[aur-general] Request for orphaning some more packages
by Christoph Zeiler 27 Jan '09

27 Jan '09

I'd like to request the orphaning of all packages formerly maintained by user shinlun. I contacted him some days ago about the outdated packages owned by him, w/o response. When looking at the dates of his last package updates, it appears he quit using Arch in June 2007. -- Follow The White Rabyte . . .

[aur-general] Request for package orphaning and removal

I'm tri170391, maintainer of winff-amd64. I see that the original winff package is now out-of-date and it's maintainer is not update it for a while, and it supported i686 only. I've now worked on a PKGBUILD that works on both architecture and I request TUs to orpan the winff package so that I can maintain it, and remove the winff-amd64 if you do so.

[aur-general] Method to get all Packages
by Lukas Appelhans 25 Jan '09

25 Jan '09

Hey! I'm currently writing a GUI-Frontend for AUR integrated into Shaman (Qt-Alpm- Frontend)... Some people already pointed me to: http://aur.archlinux.org/rpc.php which seems to be quite cool in combination with QtJson... So now as far as I can see the only thing missing is a method to get the names of _all_ Packages... I tried to parse the Apache output of aur.archlinux.org/packages/ but that might not be a good idea, since the layout can change... So, I would like to ask if there is any method to get all package names or if that is planned? Lukas
