[aur-general] subcommander orphan request
by Neil Darlow 18 Feb '08

18 Feb '08

Hi, The version of subcommander-1.x in AUR has not been updated since August 2006. I have posted a comment with an updated PKGBUILD for 1.2.2 and e-mailed a new tarball to the current maintainer. No response was forthcoming. There is a subcommander2-svn also in AUR but I will be happy to maintain version 1.x until 2.x becomes mainstream. Regards, Neil Darlow

[aur-general] [DISCUSSION] filoktetes
by Ronald van Haren 18 Feb '08

18 Feb '08

As suggested by Callan, I will first start an open discussion about this subject. I tried to contact filoktetes for the last couple of weeks, first on 30th of January, after which I started a ping thread for him about a week after that, and contacted him by private mail three days ago. As he did never respond, I think it is time to take action. So what is the deal... - he missed the last 4 votes, which is by definition enough to start a removal discussion - currently 11 out of his 35 packages our out of date - he did never say he is inactive (AFAIK), though he seems not to reply He did update 2 packages on 31th of January, which is 1 day after my first mail. The last update before that dates from the 8th of December. I do not have anything against him personally, but I think this kind of behavior hurts the [community] repo, and the AUR in general. Please discuss!

[aur-general] mysql-5.0.51-3 broke.
by Jason R Begley 15 Feb '08

15 Feb '08

I found that the mysql-5.0.51-3 package ignores the directive in the my.cnf - datadir and defaults to the /var/lib/mysql folder.the 2 package did not have this problem. I rigged it to work by setting MYSQLD_ROOT in /etc/rc.conf/mysqld. Was this intentional? Thanks, Jason

[aur-general] orphan request - gringotts + libgringotts
by Dragonlord 09 Feb '08

09 Feb '08

Hi, another request. User ecoffey looks dead to me. These 2 packages have bad source and the homepage is also probably not working. I'd like to update the PKGBUILDs, because libgringotts can be used for osmo - a small personal organizer, which I like :) Thanks D

[aur-general] Resignation from Dev/TU position
by Varun Acharya 08 Feb '08

08 Feb '08

Hi guys, After a lot of thought, I've realised I've reached a point where I don't have the time and energy to contribute to Arch anymore. I'm at a transitional period from an intern to a practicing dentist(2 months to go), and a lot of work needs to be done, all of which requires a good amount of my time. I also will be travelling on business/education a lot this year, and for a good amount of time will not have access to any linux box to do Arch related work. And most importantly, I have to do a huge amount of studying this year to write a couple of board exams in the latter part of the year. I've tried balancing my schedule to get more time with arch in, but it doesn't seem to be working out too well, and I clearly need to focus on my profession. I don't want to see the quality of my packages suffer or my packages being out of date for long periods of time, so I decided that the best thing for me to do would be to step down at this point. The packages I've disowned and which are up for grabs are (luckily not too many): foobillard libbtctl bladeenc dvdbackup handbrake miro showimg smplayer (-rc currently in testing) smplayer-themes d4x deluge firestarter nicotine transmisson wicd gspcav1 I do hope I can set things right in my life and rejoin you guys sometime in (hopefully not too distant) the future. I will of course continue to use Arch all the time :) and try to help out occasionally when x86_64 difflist goes out of control :). Good luck to Aaron and the rest of the dev team, and all the TU's. Its been awesome. Regards, Varun "ganja_guru" Acharya
