[aur-general] Orphaning my packages
by Neil Darlow 23 Jun '08

23 Jun '08

Hi, I have orphaned my unsupported packages as I will no longer be using Arch. I don't agree with Arch's reluctance to fix bugs which they consider upstream. I recently installed Mandriva on one of my systems and was amazed to see all the features that are broken in Arch's GNOME, due to them being upstream bugs, fully working in that distribution. As my principle reason for using GNU/Linux is to get work done and Arch's philosophy seems, to me, to be working against this I feel it is time to depart from Arch. My packages were: * asl * bouml * freehdl * gnome-hearts * subcommander Regards, Neil Darlow

[aur-general] CinelerraCV patch

Hello, I've tried compile the newest revision of CinelerraCV (rev.1058) but it stops with numerous errors. Firstly, cinelerra-cv-swscaler.patch it's not needed yet because it's added to official tree.

[aur-general] skype in [community]
by Pierre Schmitz 23 Jun '08

23 Jun '08

Hi there, I just noticed that we have skype in [community]. After a quick review of their license I would assume we are not allowed to redistribute it: http://www.skype.com/legal/promote/distribute/ "You will not distribute Skype Software through other media than CD-ROM or DVD, unless approved by Skype in an explicit written communication to You." If I am not really wrong here I would assume we should remove that crap asap. As a sidenote: please read the license before adding any package to a repo. It's not enough to copy the license file into the right directory. :-) Pierre -- http://www.archlinux.de

[aur-general] libfbclient

I just noticed that community/network/libfbclient contains tons of patches and other files amounting to 2.1MB. And these are not used in the PKGBUILD at all. Douglas, was this stuff perhaps added by mistake? Just wondering ;-) F

[aur-general] path problem for OpenOffice extensions

Hi all I'm trying to create a package for an OpenOffice extension but I couldn't find the right path where to extract the extension file. I've tried below but didn't work. /opt/openoffice/share/extension /opt/openoffice/extensions -- Dincer Celik ~ info(a)dincercelik.com ~ dincer(a)bornovali.com ~ http://dincercelik.com/pub.asc Please encrypt every mail you can.

[aur-general] Initial "haskell overlay" available
by Don Stewart 19 Jun '08

19 Jun '08

Hey all, A week ago I announced a group had formed to improve Haskell support in the Arch package system. One week ago, the Haskell on Arch story was rather sketchy, GHC had just been orphaned as a package from 'extra', and only half a dozen apps and libs were available in binary form. 20 or so extra Haskell packages were available in AUR. A week later, a lot has happened. We've now completely automated the packaging of Haskell apps and libraries, via a new tool, cabal2arch. http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=17471 which is able to package 90% of the available Haskell software without user intervention. This is the first time this has been done on any distro (Gentoo has similar Haskell package coverage, but it is done manually) This enabled us to create a Haskell overlay repository, of binary packages (x86_64 only): http://code.haskell.org/arch/x86_64 with more than 350 packages. Automatically built. An RSS feed of new things added is also available: http://code.haskell.org/arch/x86_64/haskell.xml Begining with the #arch-haskell IRC channel, we've now got a mailing list and extensive documentation on the wiki. http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Haskell_package_guidelines And the autopackaging has made it possible to migrate more than 300 recipes for building Haskell software into AUR. I think the rapid progress is a testament to the quality packaging infrastructure in Arch. Good work! The next steps are to un-orphan GHC, and the other Haskell things Simo can't work on now, and to then ensure an appropriate core toolset is available in extra. Given we don't have a Haskell-expert dev now, advice on how to proceed here would be welcome. Cheers, Don

[aur-general] orphan request for emacs-{planner,remember}
by Jan Spakula 17 Jun '08

17 Jun '08

I would like to request orphaning of emacs-planner and emacs-remember. The maintainer does not respond to comments (since Feb 10, 2008), nor to e-mails (sent Jun 2, 2008). There's a problem with the PKGBUILDs - outdated, and unfortunate versioning ("latest" instead of a true version number). Thank you. PS: It seems that I cannot send emails to aur-general from sup without getting this: The reason it is being held: Message has implicit destination
