[aur-general] orphans again
by Ronald van Haren 27 Jun '08

27 Jun '08

just so we won't let this list grow like we did in the past, here are the current orphans in community: <category><name><pkgver><votes> multimedia denemo 0.7.6-1 7 x11 lxtask 0.1-1 15 network pound 2.4.2-1 1 lib python-geotypes 0.7.0-1 0 please adopt if if one of these packages is yours, or you want to maintain one of these. I'll move the ones left orphan to unsupported somewhere next week. note that python-geotypes is a dependency of mezogis (0 votes, maintained by dtw) so it should stay in community if mezogis stays.

[aur-general] python rebuilds needed
by Allan McRae 26 Jun '08

26 Jun '08

Hi TUs, I have uploaded an updated python package to testing. This removes the searching of the /usr/lib/python2.4 directory for modules (as python2.5 modules should be installed in the 2.5 directory). This will break a few packages whose files are still on the old python2.4 directory and anything that depends on them. Here is the packages I have found that need rebuilt: bhv-0.0.10-1 (sergej) diacanvas-0.14.4-1 (BaSh) everygui-0.99.b-1 (Romashka) pychecker-0.8.17-2 (sergej) pyrtf-0.45-1 (sergej) pysdl_mixer-0.0.3-2 (sergej) python-chardet-1.0-1 (sergej) python-galago-0.5.0-1 (sergej) python-galago-gtk-0.5.0-1 (sergej) python-mpdclient2-0.11.1-2 (codemac) webboard-0.2-3 (sergej) These just need rebuilt with python (v2.5) so their files are installed in /usr/lib/python2.5. In general, it should not be necessary to use the python version in [testing] as the current version in [extra] will package most files in the right place. I think packages built using scons may require the [testing] version. Just check that there are no files in /usr/lib/python2.4 once you have finished rebuilding the packages. Cheers, Allan

Hello, i have a problem uploading a package to AUR. It's revoked, but there isn't a package named nxcomp, neither in AUR nor in official Repos. Error is(translated): You are not allowd to overwrite the existing package nxcomp I've send a mail on arch-genereal ML and Callan point me to a releavant bugreport http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/8672 The problem is: This package is a dependency of some other packages which i already put in AUR. So could one of you TUs please put the package in AUR? Maybe orphand after that, so i could take it. I attach the tarball, it should be in category libs. Thanks Gerhard -- Try rm -rf (_R_ead _M_ail _R_ealy _F_ast)

[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] 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
