[aur-general] Bad packages in AUR
by Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi 23 Feb '09

23 Feb '09

Please see these packages, it contains a builded packages, binaries and some sources. http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=14252 http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=20933 http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=4011 http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=17880 http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=8064 http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=7928 http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=5338 http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=14866 http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=199 ...and there are many more. I am preparing another list, but much more extensive. But first I have a question: in unsupported the packages.tar.gz may contain "tarballs" of the sources?, because I see that there are several that have this? (some are a mistake of the user that uploaded that and in array of source download of the homepage) In the AUR Guidelines there is no reference to this. -- Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi ( djgera ) http://www.djgera.com.ar KeyID: 0x1B8C330D Key fingerprint = 0CAA D5D4 CD85 4434 A219 76ED 39AB 221B 1B8C 330D

[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 I first noticed this with the cinelerra-cv package which was several months out of date and using the now-defunct cvs repo (cinelerra-cv switched to git two months ago).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 He has several packages marked out of date (and some have comments explaining fixes), as well as a handful of open bugs on the bugtracker.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

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
