[aur-general] Applying for TU-ship
by stefan-husmann＠t-online.de 23 Aug '08

23 Aug '08

Hello, my name is Stefan Husmann, I am 40 years old and live near Hanover in Germany. I am working for a big ITC company as system administrator and in projects. I was encouraged by Ángel Velásquez to apply for TU-status. With this mail I want to do that. At the time I maintain 108 packages in AUR. Not all of them were written my me, but some of them I made after package requests on archlinux.org. Also I am active in the forums at archlinux.org and archlinux.de. I consider myself still being in a learning phase. Two months or so I was not able to do a proper patching of packages, now I am. So packaging is a hobby to me now. I only own a i686 computer, have no experience with the x86_64 architecture. Building packages for both arches seems a lot of work to me, especially if you are bound to a remote machine. So as a TU I would have to concentrate a bit more on really important packages. But on the other hand it is hard for me to see orphaned packages lying around, an often I pick them. :) In the forums i act under my real name, in AUR I have a nick, haawda. I can change that if you mind. I speak german, english and with the help of dictionaries and a lot of time I might decrypt a french text also. Please consider voting for me. Sincerely Stefan

[aur-general] TU Application
by Marcos Piccinini 23 Aug '08

23 Aug '08

Morning gentleman, I would like to post here my TU application. My name is Marcos A G. Piccinini, I`m brazilian, 23 years old and I love Archlinux since somewhere in 2007 (yea.. at first sight). My contribution so far: * 16 pkts - http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?SeB=m&K=nofxx * Started (to be finished) http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ArchTrack * PT-BR Translation - http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Guia_do_Iniciante%28Português_do_Brasil… * Often on freenode`s ##arch-br channel helping my fellow mates. * Made ppl use archlinux. Made my mom use archlinux! (and she loves it, with 128x128px icons on the desktop: internet, write, freecell. Sometimes she wonders about that black command line when the "internets are broken" and she still calls the OS 'computer' but..... =). There was this time too, I`ve hold a gun to a guys head until the installation was complete. Jokes apart, I`m not an expert or guru and that`s not much, but I wish to help, to contribute and learn with this community .... Thank you for your time,

[aur-general] Orphans in community
by Ángel Velásquez 23 Aug '08

23 Aug '08

Hi, after the resigns of Shinlun and Bjorn, we decided to orphanize all of their packages, any TU can adopt them, else packages that won't be adopted will move it to unsupported. (I think if someone *not-tu* thinks that can maintain many of these packages, should send a TU application then.) This is the list of the orphaned community packages: aconnectgui 0.9.0rc2.1-1 amsynth 1.2.0-2 atari800 2.0.3-1 bitmeter 1.2-1 caps 0.4.2-1 cdck 0.7.0-1 codeine 1.0.1-2 coldfire 0.3.1-2 empathy 0.23.4-1 farsight 0.1.28-1 fluidsynth-dssi 0.9.1-2 gdb-armulator 5.0-2 gnome-art 0.2-2 gnome-splashscreen-manager 0.2-2 gnonlin 0.10.9-1 gstreamer0.10-farsight 0.12.8-1 hexter 0.6.1-2 jamin 0.95.0-5 jdelay 20060513-3 jrtplib 3.7.0-1 jthread 1.2.1-1 kanatest 0.4.4-1 lash 0.5.4-1 libmimic 1.0.4-1 libtelepathy 0.3.3-1 ltris 1.0.12-1 lzma-utils 4.32.6-2 meterbridge 0.9.2-3 mod_ruby 1.2.6-1 pcmanx-gtk2 0.3.7-1 physfs 1.0.1-4 poweriso 1.2-1 python-geotypes 0.7.0-1 python-telepathy 0.15.0-1 qmmp 0.1.6-1 qtm 0.6.3-1 ruby-amazon 0.9.0-3 ruby-atk 0.16.0-1 ruby-event-loop 0.3-1 ruby-gconf2 0.16.0-1 ruby-gdkpixbuf2 0.16.0-1 ruby-gettext 1.90.0-1 ruby-glib2 0.16.0-1 ruby-gnome2 0.16.0-1 ruby-gnomecanvas 0.16.0-1 ruby-gnomeprint 0.16.0-1 ruby-gnomeprintui 0.16.0-1 ruby-gnomevfs 0.16.0-1 ruby-gtk2 0.16.0-1 ruby-gtkhtml2 0.16.0-1 ruby-gtkmozembed 0.16.0-1 ruby-gtksourceview 0.16.0-1 ruby-gtktrayicon 0.1.0-2 ruby-libart 0.16.0-1 ruby-libglade 0.16.0-1 ruby-pango 0.16.0-1 ruby-postgres 0.7.1-5 ruby-rcairo 1.6.1-1 ruby-rsvg 0.16.0-1 ruby-scw 0.4.0-2 ruby-shout 2.1-1 rubygame 2.3.0-1 scw 0.4.7-1 seq24 0.8.7-2 sfarkxtc 1.03-5 sineshaper 0.4.2-3 skyeye 1.2.3-1 sofia-sip 1.12.7-1 softgun 0.16-3 stella 2.5.1-2 tablet-apps 0.3.1-1 tapioca 0.3.9-1 tapioca-xmpp 0.3.9-1 tapiocaui 0.3.9.1-3 telepathy-butterfly 0.3.1-1 telepathy-gabble 0.7.2-1 telepathy-glib 0.7.10-1 telepathy-idle 0.1.2-1 telepathy-inspector 0.5.2-1 telepathy-mission-control 4.67-1 telepathy-salut 0.2.3-1 telepathy-stream-engine 0.5.3-1 tetringo 0.3.1-1 timemachine 0.3.1-2 tk707 0.8-2 vkeybd 0.1.18b-1 waveutils 1.18-2 xsynth-dssi 0.9.0-4 zynaddsubfx 2.2.1-2 -- Angel Velásquez angvp @ irc.freenode.net Arch Linux Trusted User (TU) http://www.angvp.com

I just untagged assaultcube half an hour or so ago but it seems it haven't helped a bit (so we have to retag it again when it is fxed). I found it a bit strange that the repo version is 0.93-2 when the message is about 0.93-1. Anyone any ideas?

[aur-general] Makepkg does not include one file
by Dan Vratil 22 Aug '08

22 Aug '08

Hi, that's me again... I have a problem with makepkg...when making tarball for the nvidia-utils-beta package, I just enter the folder and run 'makepkg --source', which packs all files from 'source' +PKGBUILD into the tarball.... In nvidia-utils-beta, there is 'supported-cards.txt' file. When I use 'makepkg --source', it says -> Adding supported-cards.txt... But when I unpack the created tarball, there is just a symlink, which probably links itself. When I make the tarball manually using tar and gzip, everything works...this is extremely strange - it was always working, I don't understand what has happend. Please, any ideas? Thanks, Dan -- --------------------------------- Dan Vrátil progdan(a)progdansoft.com ICQ 249163429 Jabber progdan(a)jabber.cz Tel. +420 732 326 870

[aur-general] e17 packages
by Ronald van Haren 21 Aug '08

21 Aug '08

Hi! This mail is intended for all e17 users, as well as people maintaining packages which depend on the e17 community packages. The people over at enlightenment thought it was a good idea to swith from CVS to SVN, rendering all PKGBUILDs more or less useless (the switch was completed at the 18th of August). What does this mean: - all community packages have been renamed to the new naming convention (all except e-modules-extra-svn have only changed from -cvs to -svn - in the progress of converting the PKGBUILDs two more packages have been included in [community], namely ewl-svn and elitaire-svn - if everything goes as planned the upgrade should be relatively painless except for the ones having additional AUR packages installed with an explicit dependency on a -cvs package instead of a dependency on the provides line which have always been there. In this case I suggest to remove these packages before the upgrade, and compile them with new depends after the upgrade. There is no need to force as you should need to rebuld those anyways ;) - for people maintaining packages from the official enlightenment mirrors, please change your packages to incorporate the switch to SVN. For the ones maintaining packages depending on any of the e17 community packages, be aware that the naming has changed. - the installation instructions are updated in the wiki (same as before only -svn instead of -cvs). Regards, Ronald
