[aur-general] Remove package
by Lukáš Jirkovský 05 Jan '09

05 Jan '09

I think package eclipse-kde (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=4493) should be removed because it's abandoned for a long time and it's functionality is already provided by eclipse-qt-integration.

[aur-general] Proposal: package's votes
by Vitaliy Berdinskikh 05 Jan '09

05 Jan '09

Hi all, I propose to make package's votes equal zero after update. All users vote when they update package. Maintainer has true statistic about package usage. Whan do you think about? -- Sincerely yours, Vitaliy Berdinskikh (Виталий Бердинских) xmpp:vitaliy@berdinskikh.in.ua <xmpp%3Avitaliy(a)berdinskikh.in.ua> skype:skipper.barbossa

[aur-general] Dependency conflicts in nvidia-utils-beta
by Dan Vratil 04 Jan '09

04 Jan '09

Hi, I'm maintaining nvidia-utils-beta [1] in AUR and tomorrow someone had again problem with the following conflict: nvidia-utils-beta requires xorg-server which requires libgl, but nvidia-utils- beta conflicts with libgl as it provides it's own libgl library. I added ligbl to provides=() array, but if you are installing nvidia-utils- beta on system with installed libgl, pacman does not solve that. I also tried to put 'libgl=180.11' to provides=() in hope, pacman will consider it as update of standart libgl (7.2 currently) but it is also not a solution. The only way is to pacman -Rd libgl and then to install nvidia-utils-beta, but I'd like to make it work without need of manually uninstalling libgl. I don't have any more ideas of solution so I'd like to ask you for some ideas.

People should and do vote if they want a package to go to or to stay in [community]. This decision is not version number specific. They simply would not vote again. Regards Stefan

Hi, I don't know if this is the correct way but I found no other playe so I thought I'd ask here. Link: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=9731 Vidalia has 47 Votes and is well maintained. No problems with archlinux in any way. Last package update added manpage and menu-entry icon.

[aur-general] Community x86_64 issues wih some packages (att dwm, python-sqlalchemy, python-pigment maintainers)
by Angel Velásquez 02 Jan '09

02 Jan '09

Hi, first of all <ot>Happy new year everyone</ot> Since days ago I was upgrading packages which in x86_64 version are outdated respect the i686 version (python packages primarly) the list can be found here [0], then I found some packages which I can't upgrade it, these are: * dwm * python-sqlalchemy * python-pigment And maybe there are others (I just tested what I did) For be more clear I did the cvs commands, then I build the package, and I did communitypkg (see the message below) Uploading: python-sqlalchemy-0.4.8-1.pkg.tar.gz 838 kb --> (you will see that I tried to upload 0.4.8-1 version not 0.4.6) ===> Commited with "upgpkg: python-sqlalchemy 0.4.8-1" message cvs tag: Tagging . ===> Tagged as CURRENT-64 --> (everything should be ok right?) hours and days after I realized that the package isn't updated yet, why? I don't know, but I think that this can solve, bumping the pkgrel, then build and upload it again in both architectures (the easier solution) any ideas? particulary I don't like this one.

[aur-general] Problems with PKGBUILD (Also, request for package deletion)
by Smartboy 02 Jan '09

02 Jan '09

Hi, I created a new PKGBUILD called easy-e17, which basically is a wrapper for installing and using the easy-e17 script. Problem is, I forgot to change the maintainer stuff at the top of the script, and when I try to edit it, even changing the pkgrel value doesn't work. I can't get the PKGBUILD on the site to change (I used another package's PKGBUILD to make mine). Can anyone help? Also, I am requesting the make-e17 script be removed. It does basically the same thing as my script, but hasn't worked in a year and has been flagged out of date for a while. Thanks, Smartboy
