[aur-general] amarok2-svn and mysql issue
by jofko 24 Sep '08

24 Sep '08

Hi Alexander, my name is jofko and im package contributtor for kdemod-playground packages. One of these packages is amarok2 svn version. Today amarok2 switch to new mysql embedded database type. Current extra package is compiled without options --with-embedded-server. Adding this option to mysql package will make possible for all user to compile all further versions of amarok2. I already added this option to PKGBUILD file. You can find it in attachment together with patch. Thank you and advance. Jofko

[aur-general] pkgrel updates
by Allan McRae 24 Sep '08

24 Sep '08

Hi TUs, I was looking at the pkg_diff page in order to build some packages for community64 and noticed something I found a bit worrying and after much thought, I decided to bring it up. It could all be entirely legitimate and if so I apologize. A large portion of recent updates (~2/3) are only bumped in the pkgrel, i.e. no pkgver update. While I realize some of these will be legitimate rebuilds, it is a bit of a concern to me given nothing major has moved from the testing repo and I don't recognize the packages from bug reports. I haven't looked at whose packages these are (and at this stage, I honestly don't care), but it seems a reminder about quality control on the packaging front is needed. I don't mean to sound overly grumpy, but this costs users and the mirrors bandwidth as well as giving the few x86_64 using TUs more work. I really don't like writing emails like this. We can all make good packages or else we wouldn't be TUs. So please double check your packages before uploading them. Regards, Allan

[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
