[aur-general] Discussion regarding TU Swiergot
by Ghost1227 21 Feb '09

21 Feb '09

Over the last few months, I have noticed that TU Swiergot has neglected his packages in community. I first noticed this with the cinelerra-cv package which was several months out of date and using the now-defunct cvs repo (cinelerra-cv switched to git two months ago). I posted a cinelerra-cv-git package to the AUR and attempted several times to contact him. Two months went by and I got no reply from any of the several addresses he has, so I discussed the situation with another TU, then updated his cinelerra-cv package and sent him another email notifying him of the update. I have since taken a look through his packages and the bugtracker. He has several packages marked out of date (and some have comments explaining fixes), as well as a handful of open bugs on the bugtracker. Since I have been unable to contact him through any means, I propose orphaning his packages so that more available TUs can take over the responsibility for them. There are several that I would be happy to take over (assaultcube, cinelerra-cv, cube, dosemu, fcrackzip, nexuiz, qemu-launcher, stegdetect, steghide, supertux and maybe a few others), and some of his packages (including some of the ones i'll take) should be dropped to the AUR. Discuss

Could a TU please orphan the package QBankManager from user thtde? The named application hasn't been updated since Fri, 07 Jul 2006. I tried to contact the maintainer Thorsten Tasch, but I couldn't. His mail domain thorstentasch.de doesn't exist any more. Thanks in advance, Martin

I think http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=18775 (psi-qt4) is the same as psi in the repo. If yes, please deleting. Cheers :D

I deleted micq (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=7928) because last update was 2006 and the maintainer did not respond to the comments of several users (program was renamed to climm). For the other packages I left a comment. The AUR comment page looks strange. Where I expect the comment button, there is the word "poop". http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=20933 is okay, there are only small files uploaded. http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=14252 is okay, too. Thank you for notification. Regards Stefan

Could you please orphan autossh so that I may adopt it? The package has been out-of-date for quite some time. I tried to contact the maintainer (kleptophobiac), but never received a response. Thank you, Ian

[aur-general] Taking over abandoned but not orphaned package
by Andrei Thorp 20 Feb '09

20 Feb '09

Hello, I'm trying to slowly work my way into the Arch Community, and I'm starting by taking over some packages on AUR. One that I use myself and would like to take over is the package for DevTodo. This package has been unmaintained for at least a few months now, and the maintainer's e-mail bounces. The package is flagged out of date and doesn't build without modification. I've got an updated PKGBUILD and have filed a bug to the author at some point. I also run this software on both my 32 and 64 bit machines. Any chance a TU could pass on maintainership to me, or at least orphan the package? I've read that usually there is a warning to the maintainer, but he seems to be unreachable. Thanks, -Andrei Thorp
