[aur-general] Package deletion request for libgsasl
by Sven-Hendrik Haase 22 Apr '09

22 Apr '09

I request the AUR package called 'libgsasl' be deleted in favor of package 'gsasl' because of bad naming, duplicate and inferior PKGBUILD. Sven

[aur-general] rkhunter package and kernel26fbcondecor
by Heiko Baums 21 Apr '09

21 Apr '09

Hi! First I wanted to ask, if there's a reason, why the package rkhunter was removed from AUR. Second I had to rename the package kernel26fbcondecor to kernel26-fbcondecor due to some nice changes in the PKGBUILD of kernel26, which makes compiling and maintaining other kernel packages a lot easier. See my comments for both packages. So I guess the package kernel26fbcondecor can be removed from AUR. It can be found here: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=14982 Regards, Heiko

[aur-general] Packaging perl modules - best practices for dependancies?
by Oliver Charles 20 Apr '09

20 Apr '09

Hi all, I used to use Arch a while ago, and packaged quite a few Perl modules [1]. After switching operating systems, I've come back to Arch - and I need to be a good maintainer of my packages :) I remember when I wrote these how frustrating it was manually writing just about every package for the dependancy tree. Personally, I'm of the stance that you should choose one package manager and stick with it - either all CPAN or fully Pacman/AUR. However, I've seen quite a few packages that do not do this. Instead, they rely on the fact that Build.PL and Makefile.PL are both capable of installing dependancies from CPAN. Like I said, I personally don't like this approach of mixing 2 package managers, it just seems like a recipe for confusing both package managers. Could anyone shed some light on what the *correct* procedure is - and also if there any tools out there that will scrape CPAN to build packages, before I write my own (in Perl, of course ;) Thank you! -- Oliver Charles / aCiD2 [1]: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?SeB=m&K=aCiD2 are my packages if you wish to check them

[aur-general] adopting from community: pinot
by Gergely Imreh 20 Apr '09

20 Apr '09

Hi, I was checking orphan packages that should be revived. I found Pinot [1] and made a new version. Since it is in "community", though, it cannot be adopted. I attach the new version of the package here (tar.gz, because it has Changelog, PKGBUILD and .install) and you can apply it to the CVS version. Or if you release it from community, I'll adopt it then. Cheers, Greg [1] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=8700

[aur-general] orphaning commuinty packages
by Pierre Schmitz 18 Apr '09

18 Apr '09

Hi TUs, I would like to orphan some packages in [community]. So just grab them if you like. I think I'll just remove them if nobody is interested. (very low usage) rkhunter pyspf pydns pyclamav php-xdebug logwatch courier-pythonfilter php-fileinfo will be part of PHP 5.3; so I'll keep it till then. -- Pierre Schmitz Clemens-August-Straße 76 53115 Bonn Telefon 0228 9716608 Mobil 0160 95269831 Jabber pierre(a)jabber.archlinux.de WWW http://www.archlinux.de

[aur-general] Packages for adoption
by Alexander Fehr 18 Apr '09

18 Apr '09

Hi, I want to give away some packages from [community] that I'm not longer interested to maintain: bygfoot catfish dvdstyler (wxsvg) kazehakase mget pinot (xapian-core, libtextcat, unrtf) qemulator tracker, tracker-gnome-search-tool If you want any of them, just write a short note and I will orphan them. Also I don't have the time to maintain the vmware PKGBUILDs anymore: vmware-workstation, vmware-workstation-modules vmware-player, vmware-player-modules vmware-server, vmware-server-modules, vmware-server-console If no TU wants them, I will orphan them in a few days.

[aur-general] Resigning as a TU
by Allan McRae 18 Apr '09

18 Apr '09

Hi all, I have decided it is time for me to resign as a TU. This has been a decision that has been on my mind for a while. I am wanting to focus my efforts on what I see as core parts of Arch (primarily pacman development and what I consider "core" packages). I currently leave any requests for package orphaning and deletion and AUR password change requests to others and I have been relying on others to check TU applicants packaging skills, so I am not doing TU stuff anyway. I will still be around to give my opinion is someone wants it. I will continue maintaining my packages in [community] (at least for the time being) but I no longer use the following packages and so they are up for adoption if someone wants them: axel barrage blobwars bmpanel colordiff critter curlftpfs dtach exaile (with cddb-py) gauplol gimmix (with libnxml) gnochm gnome-cup-manager gnome-do + gnome-do-plugins (with flickrnet + gnome-keyring-sharp-svn + notify-sharp-svn) gnome-mplayer + gecko-mediaplayer gnome-sbtitles (with sublib) gnomebaker gprename gtk-recordmydesktop gtvg gwget libev menumaker mozplugger multiget mupen64plus ogmrip (with gpac) pida pidgin-otr pyenchant pympd python-pyalsaaudio python-sexy pytube (with ffmpeg2theora) qt-recordmydesktop shake sloccount solarwolf supertuxkart (with plib) tagtools teeworlds terminator upx visualboyadvance wbar winefish xfce4-places-plugin xmltv (with perl-fcgi + perl-html-tree + perl-http-cache-transparent + perl-http-response-encoding + perl-lingua-en-numbers + perl-lingua-en-numbers-ordinate + perl-lingua-preferred + perl-soap-lite + perl-text-bidi + perl-text-kakasi + kakasi + perl-unicode-utf8simple - Note all are rarely updated so this is not much work...) I think any TU can disown another's packages so just go ahead and adopt what you want from that list. But stick to the list as I am keeping some packages that I do still use... Allan
