Hi, Somebody has deleted *-ubuntu packages and i wanted to adopte and maintain them. But i have a minor problem. I can't upload 2 of 4 packages: fontconfig-ubuntu and libxft-ubuntu. It gives me that error: You are not allowed to overwrite the fontconfig-ubuntu package. You are not allowed to overwrite the libxft-ubuntu package. Can somebody fix that problem?

[aur-general] Trusted User Application
by Loui 03 Jun '08

03 Jun '08

Hello Trusted Users! I'd like to formally express my interest in becoming a Trusted User. My name is Loui Chang and I've been using Arch Linux for about a year and a half. My alias is louipc in aur/wiki/bugs/bbs/freenode. I'm the current developer of aurbuild and I've also submitted many patches to help improve AUR. I'm generally interested in improving the ways that we build, distribute and manage packages. To be honest, I maintain few packages in unsupported. Most packages I need already seem to be taken care of, so I don't plan on bringing many new packages to community. Here's what I have submitted to AUR: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?K=louipc&SeB=s Mostly what I offer is this: - Helping to clean up and administer AUR and community. - Help squashing bugs. - Continue developing AUR with the added perspective of a Trusted User. - Take on some packages that are already in community or packages that get dropped from the official repos. Some of my big goals are: - Develop a new system for sharing PKGBUILDs. - Give TUs more direct access and control of that system. - Get every single darn bug closed. I greatly appreciate if you can see a benefit in appointing me as a Trusted User. You guys already seem to do a very good job though. If anyone has packages that they don't really use, please let me know and maybe I can take care of them. :D Cheers!

by rabyte 03 Jun '08

03 Jun '08

Just wanted to let everyone know that I'll update (most) of my outdated packages within the next 24 hours. I'd like to thank everybody for their patience, read: not taking all those lovely pkgs away from me ;-) Special thanks go to Anders for taking over my webkitgtk-svn pkg, saving me hours of compile time. Yep, I'm serious :-)

[aur-general] Inactivity notice (07/05/08 - 14/05/08)
by Sebastian Nowicki 02 Jun '08

02 Jun '08

Hi, I flying over to the USA for Apple's World Wide Developers Conference '08, so I'll be inactive from the 7th June to the 14th. I have some outdated packages, which I hope to update before I fly out, but I currently have exams. The packages usually aren't that active upstream so it shouldn't be a big deal. I'll update them when I get back.

Not much traffic on the wiki page until now! Do we have at least any unofficial date to finish this thing? Not that it stays this way for one month or so ...

by Ryan Corder 28 May '08

28 May '08

The mugshot package in AUR has been out of date for some time and the author has not responded to requests to update it since July of 2007. I have provided a new PKGBUILD in the comments along with creating new PKGBUILDs for software it now depends on, desktop-data-model and hippo-canvas. desktop-data-model: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=16867 hippo-canvas: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=16868 I would like to make a request to take over ownership of the mugshot package found here: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=10180 thanks. ryanc

[aur-general] Package removal request - xcursor-industrial
by Kristaps Esterlinsh 28 May '08

28 May '08

Due to lack of my knowledge in the AUR (submitting an modified PKGBUILD), I orphaned the package to upload it again, but without success. As you can see the structure for this package is a mess :) http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xcursor-industrial/ So please remove it and I will upload a clean one again. Thank you :)
