[aur-general] AUR package removal
by Ricardo Martins 25 Jan '09

25 Jan '09

Hi, I'd like to remove a package I maintain (ncmpc-tradiaz-svn [1]), since it was superseded by other package. However, I couldn't find anything in AUR's interface to delete it, so I had to ask here.

Well it depends. Do we want [community] to remain in AUR so we keep votes and comments and such, or do we drop those packages from AUR?

[aur-general] Discussion period - Moving [community] to use same system as main repos
by Allan McRae 23 Jan '09

23 Jan '09

Hi all, To get this moving along, I would like to start the official discussion period. Standard rules, 5 days discussion, 7 days voting, 75% quorum. If discussion raises some points which really need to be addressed before a vote then it can be delayed. Abhishek has mad a good summary with some additions by Loui at http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Community_move_to_devtools . I am very much in favour of this move as it will allow use to use [testing] for community packages, which remove the current problems we have during big rebuilds. It also means that any other changes made to the repos (e.g. arch=any packages, delta support to name my favourites) only needs to be made in one place. I also like the idea of the AUR being just unsupported packages and (despite not actually contributing code to the AUR) I have the feeling that this separation would make AUR development cleaner. Loosing the ability for users to leave comments about a package on the AUR is not a big deal for me as I think most of these should probably go to the bug tracker where they will not get lost. The concern about autonomy of the TUs is difficult for me to judge being a dev too, but given ~1/3 TUs are devs... Allan

[aur-general] PKGBUILD Contributors lost
by Jordi Cerdan 23 Jan '09

23 Jan '09

Hi, Because of a crash of my HDD I lost some of the information I had and some (nearly all) of the PKGBUILD I maintain. I have a problem with: pommed, drpython, unicap and ucview. I didn't create them but I adopted them when they were orphaned. In the contributors list there's just my name, as I can't find any backup containing the creator, and maybe other contributors before. I Would like to update this list to the reality, so nobody thinks I'm trying to steal any creation... Is there a way to connect to aur svn and checkout any previous revision or to travel aur svn through the web? Regards, - Jordi Cerdan http://www.jordicerdan.com Andorra

[aur-general] PulseAudio doesn't work after update to 0.9.14

[aur-general] Removal of x86_64-specific and opera flashplugin packages
by Evangelos Foutras 14 Jan '09

14 Jan '09

Hello fellow TUs, I have come across people who picked a flashplugin package from the AUR over the one in [extra]. I feel that x86_64 flashplugin packages should be removed from the AUR now that the official one supports both architectures. Furthermore, Opera seems to get along just fine with flashplugin from [extra] so we don't need Opera-specific packages either. Packages in question are: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=18096 (flashplayer-opera64) http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=21601 (flashplugin-alpha-64) http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=17442 (flashplugin-beta-opera) http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=18695 (flashplugin-mozilla, maintainer believes this should stay because "the official plugin doesn't have mms.cfg" - not sure what this is :>) http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=14074 (flashplugin-opera) http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=21607 (flashplugin-x86_64) From the above, I'd say that the following can be safely deleted: flashplayer-opera64 flashplugin-alpha-64 flashplugin-beta-opera flashplugin-opera flashplugin-x86_64 Any opinions on this? Do you think we should proceed with the removal of these packages in order to avoid confusion between them and flashplugin from [extra]?

Hey all, Could someone remove cl-ppcre-clisp and stumpwm-clisp-git from the AUR? I've recently adopted the SBCL versions of both packages and made the PKGBUILDs able to work with both lisps. I've also given any users of the original packages about a month's notice of the pending deletion in the comments. Much appreciated! -- If I Ever Become An Evil Villainess... 224. I will build machines which simply fail when overloaded, rather than wiping out all nearby henchpeople in an explosion or setting off a chain reaction. I will do this by using devices known as "surge protectors."

[aur-general] [unsupported] Request for Orphaning of Packages Owned by Shinlun
by Ray Rashif 11 Jan '09

11 Jan '09

Hello list As some of you may know, Shinlun has resigned from being a TU due to other commitments and thus is very busy. As such, he currently (as a normal user) is the owner of more than 70 packages in [unsupported], of which quite a number have been flagged out-of-date for some time. He cannot be reached via e-mail as of this date; he may not be having time to check his Linux-related mailboxes. Regardless of the status of the packages, I am willing to adopt the following 10 if a TU could aid us by disowning them on-behalf: ardourvst dssi-vst gigedit libgig liblscp linuxsampler qsampler qtractor traverso wineasio Thanks and regards.

[aur-general] The search engine needs improvements
by Olivier Duclos 11 Jan '09

11 Jan '09

Hi there, So yesterday I was looking if someone had already made a pkgbuild for the rar archiver. I typed 'rar' in the search engine and got 1224 matches. Since rar wasn't at the top of the results, I thought it didn't exist and created it under the name 'rar-official'. And this morning, I receive a message telling me there is already a pkgbuild for rar. *Sigh* Now, I agree that I could have searched a little longer, but that doesn't change the fact that the search engine is too basic and should at least show the exact match in first position. That said, could someone delete the rar-official package please ? Thank you. -- -OD
