I do use some of the older madwifi stuff. Um, can you be specific as to the EXACT *and* correct (full) names of the files you are talking about ?

[aur-general] Drop madwifi-injection
by Daenyth Blank 23 Oct '08

23 Oct '08

I wanted to get people's opinions before I acted on this. The madwifi-injection package is outdated, and from several reports, the core madwifi drivers now provide this. Is there any reason to keep the package on AUR, or should I just delete it?

[aur-general] TU request
by Edward Tjörnhammar 22 Oct '08

22 Oct '08

Hello archers! I'm likely a new face to all of you but non the less applying for the role of TU. My name is Edward Tjörnhammar, is 26 and use Archlinux extensively both private and professionally. Two of the things which appeals me the most are that it never gets in your face and that the package system is pretty much crystal. I have been using GNU/Linux in some form, and no specific order, as Gentoo/Arch/Slax/Debian/Slackware since 2001. I studied CS at RIT (kth.se) in Stockholm where my specialization was(and is) in parallel and distributed systems. I work as a research engineer at the swedish defence research agency (foi.se) at information systems at the department of informatics. Before that I worked as a developer at a tactical dogfight simulator, which ran on IRIX machines. Programming and its facets is my main hobby and I, as such, have a working knowledge of many different languages/systems. I recently contributed a package 'inn' which I intend to continue working on. The package was added to [community] so I will continue with as inn-orig in AUR, user xhemi. If I were to become TU I believe that I can help to improve any number of packages in need of love but would continue with 'inn'. My sponsor is Sergej Pupykin. -- Edward Tjörnhammar

[aur-general] Duplicate Package Names
by Jud 21 Oct '08

21 Oct '08

Too many recent packages have been named the same as the "official package", this could easily get out of hand, what can be done about it? Discussion Points: - better education and parenting? - better message on AUR page? - code to detect package name and disallow/delete package? - hit uploader with big stick? - faster updates of "offical" Repo packages?

[aur-general] pidgin-mini
by Henri Häkkinen 20 Oct '08

20 Oct '08

Hello, My pidgin-mini AUR package was marked as out-of-date by BaSh, but the user did not specify any reason for it. I wonder, what seems to be wrong with it? http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=20712 -- Henri 'henux' Häkkinen http://henux.nor.fi

Aye it be that bug. Roman you don't have any packages in unsupported. They're all in community. And indeed 5 are outdated. Cheers!

Hi! Just took a look at AUR now, and got scared: My Statistics Packages in unsupported 0 Out-of-date 5 but then searched for packages with me as maintainer, and found lots of them. And there are definetely more than 5 out-of-date packages. Any ideas on this? P.S.: I'm sorry for inactivity, I hope to update lots of packages during next week (I took a vacation to spend time on Arch). -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)
