[aur-general] Package disown request for libcdk
by Alexander Rødseth 31 Mar '09

31 Mar '09

Hi, libcdk hasn't been updated for one and a half years. I e-mailed the maintainer almost two weeks ago and has not got any reply. If the package is disowned, I can fix it. I have the PKGBUILD ready. Thanks, Alexander Rødseth

And congrats too :) -- The worst thing one can do is not to try, to be aware of what one wants and not give in to it, to spend years in silent hurt wondering if something could have materialized -- and never knowing. -- David Viscott

[aur-general] Adopting Apache Commons packages
by Marc St-Laurent 30 Mar '09

30 Mar '09

Hello TUs, I'd like to adopt commons-collections ( http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=1216 ) and commons-beanutils ( http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=1215 ), which are currently orphaned packages. However, I think it would be wise to rename them to java-commons-{digester,beanutils}, to bring them in line with the naming scheme already used by a few other Commons packages. Could you please delete the old packages, and I will upload new ones shortly? TIA Marc

[aur-general] Problem with root permission
by Michele Mocciola 29 Mar '09

29 Mar '09

I'm having trouble building PKGBUILD for mpi version of code-aster: during compilation process install script must run mpixec; because of fakeroot, mpiexec believes that is being runt by root and so looks for file /etc/mpd.conf, for its owner, that must be root, and for its permissions that must be 600; problem start when install script tries to open mpd.conf, because of permissions 600 it can't open it and so it closes with error. The only solution I found is to run makepkg as root (e.g. sudo makepkg --asroot). Do you think there are other solution for this problem? MPI implementation I use is mpich2. Thanks in advance.

[aur-general] System cleaning?
by Brandon Martin 29 Mar '09

29 Mar '09

You would think that I would have been using arch long enough to know how to do this buy I don't. I was using gnome then I tried to uninstall it and I used kdemod for a little while but know I want to use gnome again. I uninstalled kdemod and reinstalled gnome but it just doesn't seem as snappy as it was before. Plus I have easytag installed and when I click the home folder from the places menu it opened easytag. On top of that when I was connected to a remote FTP and I try to edit and save something I get a gvfs error. This use to work fine before. In the past I have usually just done a fresh install because I am weird about having only what I need installed and have never taken the time to learn all I can do with pacman. So my main question is can how do I do a major cleaning removing what I don't need and how do I check if I am missing something I do need since I am running into a few oddities. What is the best way to get my system clean and mean. Thanks for any insight. -- Brandon Martin
