Hi ML, there are many orphans packages into community repository. Their aren't necessary at others community's packages and I think they can be moved to unsupported. I want to know if someone is interested at these packages before I'll move they to unsupported.

[aur-general] out of date flagging
by Adam Vogt 12 Apr '08

12 Apr '08

Could someone confirm my observation that the aur does not reset out of date flags on packages when they are updated? Maybe it's just on packages that I've flagged myself then adopted. I don't update enough stuff to know. If this is the intended behavior, I would expect that resetting out of date flags on updates is the most reasonable thing to do.

[aur-general] Menu categories

Hi there, I'm new to AUR, and I've just assumed my first package. The original package doesn't come with a .desktop file. So I've created my own on alacarte, and modified to use it on my packeg. The problem is app's icon shows in "other" group, and not in "audio & video". Where can I find a tutorial on categories? Thanks. Here is my .desktop content: [Desktop Entry] Name=Floola GenericName=Floola Comment=Floola is a freeware application to efficiently manage your iPod Exec=floola Icon=floola Terminal=false Type=Application Categories=AudioVideo; -- Tomás A.

[aur-general] Flashplugin DRM free?
by JaDa 10 Apr '08

10 Apr '08

I need some help and ideas, because the new Flashplugin 9.0.124.0 comes with DRM. http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=16293 Is it legal, if we crack it and build a DRM free Flashplugin? -- Make it idiot proof and someone will make a better idiot.

Hello, could someone remove debhelper from AUR? I can't adopt it because I can't see it anymore. If I want to upload it by myself I will get an error message. Thanks, André Klitzing

[aur-general] GAIM-related packages in AUR
by Ivy Foster 09 Apr '08

09 Apr '08

So thanks to a typo while looking for a package using yaourt, yesterday I discovered that although GAIM itself is no longer available from Arch proper or from AUR, there are still several packages in the AUR related to GAIM, many of which are orphaned and few if any of which have been updated in over a year. I'd like to suggest that unless any folks still maintaining these packages object, that they be removed, what with GAIM being superseded by pidgin/finch/libpurple. Hopefully this won't cause too much controversy :-). Thanks!
