Hi TUs! Thanks for your wise and ingenious decision :) I'm very happy! I will do my best for the Arch community and to be a good TU. Special thanks to Allan for sponsoring me and Bardo for checking my PKGBUILDs. And to all of you for your votes. Regards Jaroslav PS: the next time you need a lab mouse for testing anything new, feel free to ask :D On Wed, May 14, 2008 at 03:52:31PM +0200, Allan McRae wrote: > Congrats and welcome to the team! > > Allan >

[aur-general] [arch-dev-public] I'm online
by Roman Kyrylych 17 May '08

17 May '08

Hi all! Here's a "quick" status report. 1) I have an internet connection at home again! 2) I will finally move to another city by the end of this month (this process is so tiresome and time consuming). 3) My archbox at home is heavily outdated. I will download the needed packages at my job though, so it should be up-to-date on Tuesday. 4) It would be hard to upload updated versions of my packages from my home due to very slow internet connection, and I will be able to do this only during the weekends and 1-2 hours at nights maybe. So bringing all outdated packages to new versions will take some time. Oh, an I need to get used to SVN workflow first. Big thanks to everyone who updated my packages or took them under his maintainership! 5) After the move I will try to get a laptop as soon as possible (I do not plan to take my archbox from home) so I will be able to do everything at the new place. There is a possibility to get a fast internet connection via 3G cell network, so finally all connection problems should gone. Oh, and I think my main system on it will be x86_64 (with a bunch of i686 and x86_64 virtual machines of course). 6) I have around 2000 of unread threads in my gmailbox, already started to read them. 7) Thanks Grigorios, Aaron and everyone else involved in keeping the amount of open bugs at the manageable level. I will try to get back to this as soon as I can, and I need to fix the bugs assigned to me first (what a shame, I have many of them still not fixed). 8) I'm thinking about resigning from from the TU position and concentrate more on core Arch development. I can still maintain some packages in Community if I will have time, but I haven't been active in TUland recently so I feel that it will be better to remove the second part from the "Dev/TU" title. We continue to see more TUs aboard, so I'm sure there are more than enought skillend and confident people to handle packages I used to maintain. Many of them are gnome-related packages and I'm willing to provide any needed help for the people who will take care of them. Formal announcement, package giveout etc. will come later, in the mean time feel free to pick packages you want to maintain. -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)

[aur-general] SSL-Encrypted AUR?
by Marcel W. Wysocki 17 May '08

17 May '08

I'd really like to see the AUR being SSL encrypted. Everytime I login from an untrusted network someone could read my AUR password. Imho thats quite a security flaw. -- Marcel W. Wysocki <maci(a)satgnu.net>

[aur-general] AUR cleanup package list
by Allan McRae 16 May '08

16 May '08

HI TUs, The call for people to list packages in the AUR to cleanup has been quite successful with around 100 packages recommended. See the wiki page: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR_CleanUp_Day Now we have to go through the list and confirm which packages deserve to be deleted. Remember not to get carried away here. We don't want to delete work that may still be useful. Reasons to flag a package for deletion: - packages that have been renamed or replaced - developmental packages (cvs/svn/etc) that have change source management systems Reasons not to flag a package for deletion: - out of date I have made a section of the wiki page where we can sort the packages. Please sign your name by any package that you put in the remove/keep list. This will allow me to monitor any abuse of the system more easily. It also makes you take responsibility for your decision to remove a package which should never be taken lightly. If you have a disagreement with another TUs decision, move it to a new section call "further discussion" or something. If the suggestions are checked properly before moving the the remove or keep list, then this shouldn't happen but we will deal with it if it happens. I will go through and make the removals in a few days. Cheers, Allan

That's no problem, I can wait. It's just another package to correct. Thanks for orphaning it. Dragonlord On Sun, May 11, 2008 at 02:52:57AM +0200, Allan McRae wrote: > Done.

[aur-general] orphan request - vegastrike
by Dragonlord 11 May '08

11 May '08

Hi, please orphan the vegastrike package. The PKGBUILD in AUR is poorly written and the maintainer doesn't answer and reflect the comments. The package only contains source for the binaries, no game data. I have a working PKGBUILD ready. Thanks TUs :)
