[aur-general] cooledit in AUR
by Husmann, Stefan 06 Dec '07

Hello, there is an orphaned package "cooledit" in the AUR under "unsupported". This project seems to be dead. I did not find any homepage for this project. The existing entries in google point to not existing links. I suggest to reemove this package entirely. Greetings Stefan Husmann

[aur-general] Netbeans
by Phil Dillon-Thiselton 04 Dec '07

04 Dec '07

Hey all, I don't know what to do with netbeans. The new version is built using some enormous interactive install script, which isn't ideally suited to a PKGBUILD. The previous PKGBUILD was created by somebody else and I just adopted it in to [community] because it was popular and made some minor improvements. However, I think somebody else might do a better job with it now. Any offers to adopt it? Best, Phil

[aur-general] disown mtasc
by Florian Loitsch 04 Dec '07

04 Dec '07

could a TU please orphan package mtasc. The PKGBUILD is a binary (and has not been touched for nearly two years). I have contacted the current maintainer jMCg, but did not get any response. I'm not sure if I'll have the time to update the package myself, but at least it would be possible. mfg, // florian loitsch -- "Computers are useless. They can only give answers" - Pablo Picasso

[aur-general] Help needed with the xsensors package
by bardo 01 Dec '07

01 Dec '07

Hi guys. I'm asking for a little help with xsensors. I'm trying to make it work with the new lm_sensors: there's a patch and it fixes compilation errors, but I can only get a segfault when I run the program. Debugging (after adding '#define DEBUG_XSENSORS') finds the incriminated function, add_sensor_tab() in src/gui.c: (gdb) run Starting program: /usr/bin/xsensors (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) Adding tab for coretemp Adding feature 1, Core 0. curvalue = 48,000000, curmax = 10000,000000, curmin = 0,000000, percent = 0,004800 Adding tab for coretemp Adding feature 1, Core 1. curvalue = 50,000000, curmax = 10000,000000, curmin = 0,000000, percent = 0,005000 Adding tab for w83627dhg Adding feature 1, VCore.

Can anybody help me? Attached you can find the PKGBUILD. Thanks, Corrado

Your nick was pretty noticeable for me in times when I was visiting forums very often. :-) Your packages in AUR are OK, though I have some suggestions, which I've sent to you in private mail. In fact, I've added 2 of your packages to my "grab them sometime" list some time ago. :-P Oh, BTW, don't we already have someone studiying Aerospace engineering? /me looks at James ;-) I'm sponsoring Ronald on his way to become a TU.

[aur-general] Why do we still have compatibility rename for community?
by Varun Acharya 30 Nov '07

30 Nov '07

Hi Devs/TU's, Why do we still have the renaming of packages in community so that packages are uploaded without the '-arch' in the filename? Official repo's were converted a while back, any reason were not editing communitypkg to do the same? Varun

[aur-general] -mtune=generic
by bardo 29 Nov '07

29 Nov '07

Hi. This flag was introduced with glibc-2.6 and gcc-4.2 as suggested for devs and tus (http://archlinux.org/news/326/). Is it still needed? Was it a temporary thing that was erroneously introduced in the aforementioned packages or is it a necessary and thus "definitive" flag? Thanks for any clarification. C.

[aur-general] Build machine update
by Aaron Griffin 29 Nov '07

29 Nov '07

For any Devs/TUs in need of an x86_64 build machine, we're now in business. This machine I have sitting here is not powerful, but it's doing nothing, so we might as well all help out and heat my apartment this winter 8) What I've done is set this machine up to use the new chroot tools from our devtools package, and allow users rights to run the chroot build script. Dan, Jeff, and myself have tested it and it seems to work fine for right now. For people with existing accounts - I will add a motd with instructions soon, so when you see a small HOWTO on login, feel free to go to town. For people who DON'T have an account but still want to build x86_64 packages and don't have a machine, let me know.
