[aur-general] New TU Checklist
by Allan McRae 15 Jun '08

15 Jun '08

Hi TUs, I have made a wiki page with the guidelines we post for new TUs (http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/New_Trusted_User_Checklist) This will save the copy/pasting that is currently required. Thanks to Xavier for the idea. Allan

[aur-general] Packages available for adoption
by Eric Belanger 14 Jun '08

14 Jun '08

Hi, I would be willing to give up most of my packages in community/AUR for adoption in order to decrease my workload. Please check the list: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?O=0&L=0&C=0&K=Snowman&SeB=m&PP=100 and let me know if you would like to adopt some of them. Most of them are in the community repo but I would be willing to move them in unsupported if a non-TU is interested in them and if it's not something I use. The following packages are not available because they are pet packages and/or I intend to move them to extra eventually: agave anacron auctex colorgcc comix electricsheep hardinfo kdiff3 keytouch keytouch-editor kftpgrabber krename libqalculate lincity-ng pingus pkgbuild-mode prosper qalculate-gtk qalculate-kde wormux xmms xmms-volnorm xv Thanks, Eric -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

[aur-general] New tool to automate Haskell package creation
by Don Stewart 13 Jun '08

13 Jun '08

Hey all, Just a little announcement. A few of the Haskell fans have formed a little dev group to work on and improve Haskell packages for Arch. To start with there's an IRC channel #arch-haskell @ freenode And the start of a packaging guide for Haskell on the wiki, http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Haskell_package_guidelines And a new tool has been written that automates the process of creating PKGBUILDs from Haskell 'cabal' packages (those on hackage.haskell.org) This has meant we've been able to rapidly ramp up creation of new Haskell packages for Arch. The cabal2arch tool lives here: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=17471 If you work on, or maintain Haskell packages, perhaps drop by the IRC channel, so we can work out the final details for standard Haskell support. Cheers, Don

Hopefully someone knows what happened. > BTW, I am unable to retrieve the PKGBUILD for this package from CVS. The CVS viewer is gone. I do not know why the AUR still maintains those links, but the proper place is here: http://repos.archlinux.org/viewvc.cgi/community/?root=community

[aur-general] I made a mistake... Categories in [community]
by Geoffroy Carrier 11 Jun '08

11 Jun '08

I might have believed that creating a new folder in community would work... There was gnome, kde, xfce; I worked on lxde packages, so I created a lxde folder with packages in it... Normal, uh? Can someone fix my mistake and make the packages appear on the AUR? -- Geoffroy Carrier http://gcarrier.koon.fr/

[aur-general] octave3
by stefan-husmann＠t-online.de 10 Jun '08

10 Jun '08

Hello list members, I would like to ask if there is someone who would like to put the octave3 package to community. There are three main reasons for doing so. - Octave 3 is the stable and development version of octave upstream. - Octave 3 is not just an update of octave 2 but another program: the differences are big and incompatible - it takes long to build, so having a binary version would be nice. Is this the correct place for discussing this, or should I write a feature request? Sincerely Stefan

I thought about adopting some more before putting in my application, however after thinking about it I realized that having a small amount of packages fits my motives well. As a TU my main goal for now is to help lessen the load of the existing TUs. I'm also a x86_64 user and would like to make contributions in that area. And last but not least, as I stated before I would like the opportunity to do my part for a distro I've been using for so long. In regards to a sponsor, I have spoken with a few people on IRC and I've spoken with a few before I applied. Is anyone willing to put themselves on the line? :D Rick -- http://isawsome.net GPG key at http://isawsome.net/blog/static/gpg
