[aur-general] telepathy/empathy removed from [testing]
by Allan McRae 28 May '09

28 May '09

Hi, Due to lack of developer time to package this fully, the telepathy/empathy packages sat in [testing] for a long time and become out dated. Now they have been removed, so these packages are free to go into [community] if a TU wishes to do so. Allan

[aur-general] Package removal request
by Lukáš Jirkovský 26 May '09

26 May '09

Hello, can some TU remove packages animorph [1] and mhgui [2]? Both of them used to be a dependency of makehuman (and it's probably the only application which used it because they were made for specific needs of makehuman) but current version of makehuman no longer needs them.

[aur-general] (Reminder) gnome moved to git
by nezmer＠gmail.com 24 May '09

24 May '09

The gnome project moved their source repositories from svn to git(1). Maybe that's old news for some readers but It's certainly not for all of them . All gnome-related svn PKGBUILDS are already obsolete or will become obsolete in the near future . I wonder what is the best solution in this case . Let individual maintainers upload new git packages and ask for removal of the old svn ones ? (1) http://svn.gnome.org

[aur-general] Orphaning of 44 packages
by G_Syme 24 May '09

24 May '09

Hi fellow listmates, in trying to make a long story short: I've finally switched from KDE3 to KDE4, and not directly via Arch, but on a parallelly installed Kubuntu with shared home partition. The result is, that the Kubuntu installation (which was previously only intended to be a test- platform and failsafe solution) now runs fine, but has devastated the KDE3 configs of the Arch system. But, contrary to my expectation, upgrading Arch to KDE4 didn't utilize the configs from Kubuntu (from the shared home). This means I currently have a not- really-working KDE4 installation on Arch with some additional anomalies (like e.g. graphic glitches, etc.). Unfortunately, university doesn't leave me much spare time to try to repair my current Arch system at the moment. So I'm sticking to my "backup" Kubuntu system for the time being. Because I won't be able to properly maintain my packages at the moment, I'd like to take this opportunity to cut my packages from 64 down to a manageable state of 20. Hope this will give new AUR users the opportunity to collect a few of them, so the distribution gets a bit more balanced. ^^ Now for the list. All of the packages work (except for ditz-git, because upstream development has stalled a bit). Albeit from jvlt, they're all up-to- date (as far as I know). I've tried to categorize them a bit: -- uml2tools and dependencies -- (best to be maintained by one person) eclipse-emf-query eclipse-emf-transaction eclipse-emf-validation eclipse-gmf eclipse-mdt-ocl eclipse-mdt-uml2 eclipse-mdt-uml2tools -- subversive and its dependencies -- (best to be maintained by one person) eclipse-subversive eclipse-subversive-svn-connector eclipse-subversive-svn-connector-svnkit -- (maybe) frozen in time (AKA last update was quite some time ago) -- edumips64 faces finomaton geg gt5 hexxagon jacksum jmencode lookat nihongobenkyo pytraffic reed roll umodpack unmass urxvtcd violet -- candidates for removal (AKA let the community decide) -- brother-mfc260c-cupswrapper brother-mfc260c-lpr (the 2 packages above have never been tested because I don't own the printer (they're build analog to the brother-mfc260c-* packages) and haven't received any votes or comments, so probably no one is using them.) doomsday-1.8 (was intended to be an alternative for the sometimes savegame-corrupting version 1.9beta5. But the problem seems to be solved in 1.9beta6, which makes this package deprecated.) tinyuml (development has been stalled, and the official website has vanished ages ago. The sources can still be obtained from SF.net, though, and the package has received 19 votes over time, but I'm not sure if they still use it...) -- misc -- 4pane aespipe ditz-git dosbox-cvs jvlt mathomatic maxr-svn midish notecase-pro pauker thinkingrock veusz wirbel That's it. I hope to be back on track in late summer with my Arch system. I'll try to maintain my remaining packages as best as I can until then. Cheers, G_Syme

[aur-general] [PATCH] Add URL to get maintainer of a package
by Abhishek Dasgupta 24 May '09

24 May '09

This is a simple patch to make URLs like http://archlinux.org/core/i686/bash/maintainer return the current maintainer for the package in plaintext. I don't know if the code works or not since I've almost no experience in Django. I'm not sure whether simply returning pkg.maintainer shall suffice. -- Abhishek
