by Nick 21 Aug '08

21 Aug '08

It seems the maintainer of foldingathome has been awol for over a year and the package needs lots of updates. Is there any chance this could get orphaned? Apologies if I'm using the wrong list, I haven't used this in a while...

[aur-general] 500 Haskell packages now in AUR
by Don Stewart 20 Aug '08

20 Aug '08

10 weeks after the Arch Haskell group started, there are now 500 Haskell packages bundled up for Arch. I've written about how we automated the construction of Arch packages from Haskell Cabal format, via the cabal2arch tool, and a small survey of 10 nice packages from the set, here, http://cgi.cse.unsw.edu.au/~dons/blog/2008/08/21#the_500 Cheers, Don

[aur-general] question about package naming conventions
by scrawler＠gmail.com 20 Aug '08

20 Aug '08

Howdy guys, I have the gnuserv package in the aur and it's named, amazingly enough, "gnuserv". I noticed, however, that most of the emacs-related packages in community have the form "emacs-whatever". So it would be easy enough to submit with the new name if someone would delete the old one for me. I haven't uploaded anything yet--I just tidied up the package according to suggestions from more knowledgeable guys at the forum. thanks. -- signature sneezing: "achoo!"

[aur-general] Move .proto files into their own directory.
by Loui 19 Aug '08

19 Aug '08

I was thinking maybe we should move .proto files that are in the community source tree into a directory called prototypes or something. What do the rest of you think?

Are you willing to do so? I am willing to do so. Maybe I will need some help at the beginning. >You said you want to concentrate on really important packages. That >brings up the million dollar question: what are really important >packages in your eyes? You really want to give me a million dollar if I answer that question? :) Just kidding. The votes are a good hint. But sometimes a package gets few votes because it fullfils a special task or addresses a small audiance. I do not have a list of packages yet I want to put in community. But fotoxx or xaralx could be a candidate. >Ronald Thank you for your reply. Stefan
