[aur-general] Eclipse-Qt update
by Shaika-Dzari 22 Jan '08

22 Jan '08

Hi everyone. I sent an (gentle ^_^) email 4 days ago to eclipse-qt maintainer to ask him to update his package on Aur but I did not get any response. The last update was 24 June 2007. http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?do_Details=1&ID=11798&O=25&L=0&C=0&K=… In my email, I offered him to adopt his package if he did not have the time to maintain it. What can we do if he did not response? Could I adopt his package or should I simply post my new pkgbuild as a comment? Thank you for your help. -- Shaika-Dzari http://www.guidelinux.org http://code.google.com/p/animeshell

[aur-general] [REMOVAL] Discussion period for nesl247
by JJDaNiMoTh 22 Jan '08

22 Jan '08

Nesl, this officially marks the discussion period for your removal as a Trusted User. * You disappear ( and haven't vote ) since October; * Anyone know where you are ( any response on [who has seen him] thread) * Seems that you have resigned ( in chat.. lol ) For this paragraph of TU Bylaws There is one special case for removal, removal due to unwarranted and undeclared inactivity, for which standard voting procedure deviates from the above. This motion is also automatically triggered by repeated quorum offenses, as described in the Quorum subsection of this document. For this special case, SVP is followed with a discussion period of three days, a quorum of 66%, and a voting period of 5 days. I open the three day discussion period. -- JJDaNiMoTh - ArchLinux Trusted User

[aur-general] Trouble with package vim
by David Dupin 21 Jan '08

21 Jan '08

hi, I try to do an update this evening and when I launch pacman -Su I've got an error message : :: Starting full system upgrade... resolving dependencies... error: cannot resolve "vi>=7.1.228", a dependency of "vim" error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies) :: vim: requires vi>=7.1.228 Is there an update of vim without vi, or does the PKGBUILD is wrong with version number ? The latest vi version that I found is 7.1.156 with pacman. Regards.

[aur-general] e17 packages in community (was orphaned packages in community)
by Ronald van Haren 21 Jan '08

21 Jan '08

To not clutter the 'orphaned packages in community' thread, I created a new one for discussing the e17 packages. As I have not yet heard something from reverie and I had some free time today, I decided to take a closer look to e17 (he is of course still free to contact me). Currently provided as orphans in community are snapshots. The latest e17 snapshot release has been August 2007 (the ones in community are one or two months older). This means that updating e17 to the latest snapshots still gives as an outdated version of e17. I did not find anything on the e17 mailing lists on when new snapshots will be provided, or why there are not updated anymore. So what have I done. I created all core e17 CVS packages from scratch and wrote a build script to easy update them all with just one command. I've been running them for the last 5 hours or so, and everything seems to work stable. I think it would not hurt if the CVS packages would come in place of the snapshots in community as it is not sure when, or even if the snapshots will be updated in the near future. If somebody is against, please speak. Also, I need somebody to at least test building it for x86_64 to check if I can safely use Aaron's build machine (I will contact him if so), or that I should better find someone to update it for x86_64. HOWTO TEST: Get the archive with all PKGBUILDs and the buildscript from http://pressh.googlepages.com/e17-cvs-pkgbuilds.tar.gz. Make sure you configure pacman to work with sudo before executing the buildscript (see the script for further details). For anybody else willing to test, you can add the following to your pacman.conf [e17-cvs] Server = http://pressh.googlepages.com/ Install the i686 versions with 'pacman -Sy e17-cvs' Thanks for your time!

[aur-general] disowning some packages
by Roman Kyrylych 20 Jan '08

20 Jan '08

Hi! After my inactivity period and finally restoring my internet connection I've realized that I cannot maintain many packages anymore, especially big ones. My speed is 6-8 kbytes/s. :-( Thus I'm willing to disown some of my packages. First of all, I want to get rid of games, because I don't play them anyway: - cube (requires zero maintainence because no longer developed, but still works) - assaultcube - sauerbraten (~200M, needs an update) - nexuiz (>250M) - glob2 Any volunteers? Next, I may also disown some other packages that need frequent updates because (most probably) I will move to another city next month and I don't know how easy it will be to get an ADSL (or at least a "street LAN") in a rented flat. If anyone is interested in maintaining some of my packages - let me know. -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)

[aur-general] blueman
by Abhishek Dasgupta 20 Jan '08

20 Jan '08

Hi everyone, blueman is a GTK+ bluetooth management utility for GNOME using bluez dbus backend. However for some features (for example network connectivity and bluetooth audio sharing) bluez-utils has to be recompiled with some more options, which are not there in the stock bluez-utils in Arch. I wish to move the package into [community], however lots of features will not work if bluez-utils is not recompiled with the extra options. AFAIK, Ubuntu has these options enabled by default (at least some of them) as one user reported blueman to be working perfectly in Ubuntu. Should I print out a warning message during install? Any suggestions? Thanks, Abhishek

[aur-general] Should TU put in [community] packages they use?
by bardo 19 Jan '08

19 Jan '08

This came to my mind reading the discussion about Sergej, but after some thinking I couldn't make up a clear opinion about it, so this thread just brings up the question. There's a few packages I maintain in unsupported that almost nobody voted, so I never moved them to [community]. But what if I use them in my daily activities? I'm interested in having an up-to-date package, so I'd maintain, build and test it anyway... should I share it with its (small) user base? Corrado
