[aur-general] Orphan request: xmlrpc-c
by Vitaliy Berdinskikh 23 Sep '08

23 Sep '08

Hi all. Could someone orphan xmlrpc on AUR? The package last update was nearly 2 years ago, and its maintainer seems to be inactive on AUR. I'd like to adopt this package to update it (to 1.06.30). Thanks. http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=5885 -- Sincerely yours, Vitaliy Berdinskikh (Виталий Бердинских)

Maybe someone has time to help you. the error message is completely useless, somebody has to try it him/herself, gentoo already has a patch for it, but i didn't bother to try to rip it off (for now): http://overlays.gentoo.org/svn/proj/sunrise/reviewed/net-misc/mugshot/mugsh… patches are in ../files, they use the firefox engine however, while we're trying to use xulrunner-1.9... > Ronald cheers..

[aur-general] Stopping Arch contribuiting

It's with a lot of sadness that I say "bye!" to archlinux. My life is changing ( I will go to live in another city with some friends ), with only an Apple Powerbook (powerPC machine). The arch machine will remain at my sister ( I hope she learn about arch and its pkgs.. and will apply for TUship here :] ). Sorry, in this moment I can't find the right word. I hope you will comprehend me. Thank you all

[aur-general] Orphan request: dstat
by Schnouki 20 Sep '08

20 Sep '08

Hello, Could someone orphan dstat [1] on AUR ? The package last update was nearly 2 years ago, and its maintainer seems to be inactive on AUR since nearly one year. I'd like to adopt this package to update it (from 0.6.3 to 0.6.8) and fix its PKGBUILD (include man pages, fix the license tag, add an arch tag, etc.). Thanks. Schnouki [1] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=4383 -- There's no place like 127.0.0.1

As I am sure Angel pointed out to you already, you only need to add the PKGBUILD, install file, Changelog and any patches to cvs. You do not need to add the package. > BTW I could not upload a package for fotoxx (categor, getting an error > message similar to this: > > failed to create lock directory for `/home/cvs-community' > (/var/lock/cvs/./#cvs.lock): Permission denied > cvs remove: failed to obtain dir lock in repository > `/home/cvs-community' > cvs [remove aborted]: read lock failed - giving up > My guess is both you and another TU tried commiting to cvs at the same time. Try uploading again. Allan Thank you, he pointed that out now. The error concerning fotoxx goes somewhat deeper. I was not able to update it, I even got a similar message if I try a 'cvs remove fotoxx-5.3-1.pkg.tar.gz'. Sorry for all that. I added the sentences "Build files are files necessary to build the package, not the package itself. Do not add any *.pkg.tar.gz-files." to the Wiki, because this was the misleading part of the Wiki for me. Stefan
