Well it depends. Do we want [community] to remain in AUR so we keep votes and comments and such, or do we drop those packages from AUR?

[aur-general] Discussion period - Moving [community] to use same system as main repos
by Allan McRae 23 Jan '09

23 Jan '09

Hi all, To get this moving along, I would like to start the official discussion period. Standard rules, 5 days discussion, 7 days voting, 75% quorum. If discussion raises some points which really need to be addressed before a vote then it can be delayed. Abhishek has mad a good summary with some additions by Loui at http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Community_move_to_devtools . I am very much in favour of this move as it will allow use to use [testing] for community packages, which remove the current problems we have during big rebuilds. It also means that any other changes made to the repos (e.g. arch=any packages, delta support to name my favourites) only needs to be made in one place. I also like the idea of the AUR being just unsupported packages and (despite not actually contributing code to the AUR) I have the feeling that this separation would make AUR development cleaner. Loosing the ability for users to leave comments about a package on the AUR is not a big deal for me as I think most of these should probably go to the bug tracker where they will not get lost. The concern about autonomy of the TUs is difficult for me to judge being a dev too, but given ~1/3 TUs are devs... Allan

[aur-general] PKGBUILD Contributors lost
by Jordi Cerdan 23 Jan '09

23 Jan '09

Hi, Because of a crash of my HDD I lost some of the information I had and some (nearly all) of the PKGBUILD I maintain. I have a problem with: pommed, drpython, unicap and ucview. I didn't create them but I adopted them when they were orphaned. In the contributors list there's just my name, as I can't find any backup containing the creator, and maybe other contributors before. I Would like to update this list to the reality, so nobody thinks I'm trying to steal any creation... Is there a way to connect to aur svn and checkout any previous revision or to travel aur svn through the web? Regards, - Jordi Cerdan http://www.jordicerdan.com Andorra

[aur-general] PulseAudio doesn't work after update to 0.9.14
by Jeff Cook 23 Jan '09

23 Jan '09

Hi all. After recent update to 0.9.14, PulseAudio no longer allows clients to connect. The server appears to be running properly. On startup, it outputs to both console and messages.log: Jan 21 15:47:37 arch pulseaudio[13203]: ltdl-bind-now.c: Failed to find original dlopen loader. Jan 21 15:47:37 arch pulseaudio[13203]: main.c: Running in system mode, but --disallow-exit not set!

Jan 21 15:47:37 arch pulseaudio[13203]: main.c: Running in system mode, forcibly disabling exit idle time! It's done this before without significant problems, but a couple of those messages are new. The error presented by pavucontrol and alsamixer is Connection failed: Connection refused. Please let me know if anything not appended is pertinent. Thanks for any and all help.

[aur-general] Building in a chroot
by Allan McRae 19 Jan '09

19 Jan '09

Hi TUs, I wrote a page on build packages in a chroot in the DeveloperWiki that I think might be useful for TU too. http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DeveloperWiki:Building_in_a_Clean_Chroot This is good for TUs who want to run [testing] and build packages for [community] on the same system. Any questions, just ask. Cheers, Allan
