[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 I don't want to see the quality of my packages suffer or my packages being out of date for long periods of time, so I decided that the best thing for me to do would be to step down at this point.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

[aur-general] tome orphan request
by Dragonlord 07 Feb '08

07 Feb '08

Hi, can someone orphan the package "tome" in AUR, please. The maintainer has this only package and promised to update it long ago. I'd like to take care about the package. Thanx :) D

[aur-general] jailkit orphan request
by Michal Soltys 06 Feb '08

06 Feb '08

I use it often on my system(s), so I'll happily take care of it. The one currently in AUR is quite old and maintainer hasn't replied to my mail yet.

[aur-general] Asterisk, Asterisk-addons and Zaptel
by Jason Tarbet 05 Feb '08

05 Feb '08

Hi all - This is just a heads up that I have taken over maintenance of the orphaned packages asterisk, asterisk-addons and zaptel. I will check out the other asterisk related packages and see if they are in need of maintaining or if they are no longer in development. I currently have the i686 versions up and will work on x86-64 if there are requests. Thank you, Jason

[aur-general] oh, and if you try secondlife PKGBUILDs I send
by Paul Dufresne 03 Feb '08

03 Feb '08

Oh, and if you try secondlife PKGBUILD I sent, please note that we have distcc (pacman -Sy distcc), so you could get much faster results using this and removing DISTCC=no. Also FMod and x86_64 are said to not work together. Anyway, the SConstruct file (some kind of Makefile in Python) does deactivate FMod on x86_64. But of course, avoiding to touch these PKGBUILDs could help you very much keep your mental sanity.

[aur-general] going from secondlife to nunit as root problem
by Paul Dufresne 03 Feb '08

03 Feb '08

Well, in last 48 to 72 hours, I have been trying to build secondlife from source on x86_64, with less and less hope after each hours. Searching for help, I discovered libsecondlife: http://www.libsecondlife.org/wiki/Main_Page and http://opensimulator.org/ . Being in .NET, I hope, or at least was hoping, to have much less problems compiling it. So I began to follow instructions at: http://www.libsecondlife.org/wiki/Getting_Started#Linux Seems we have in extra: mono, nant and subversion. So I began to make a NUnit package: === # Contributor: Paul Dufresne <dufresnep(a)gmail.com> pkgname=nunit pkgver=2.4.6 pkgrel=1 pkgdesc="a unit-testing framework for all .Net languages" arch=('i686' 'x86_64') url="http://www.nunit.org/index.php" license=('unknown') depends=('mono') makedepends=('mono' 'nant') provides=() conflicts=() replaces=() backup=() groups=() options=() install= source=("http://superb-west.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/nunit/NUnit-${pkgver}-src…") noextract=() md5sums=('a422333d3516d75d5098568fb4984834') build() { cd $startdir/src/src nant build-all || return 1 } === Well, the instructions suggest: sudo nant build-all, well, I tought building in fakeroot would be enough but this gives me: === ==> Starting build()... ** (/usr/share/NAnt/bin/NAnt.exe:8561): CRITICAL **: _wapi_shm_file_open: shared file [/root/.wapi/shared_data-myhost-Linux-x86_64-328-11-0] open error: Permission denied ** (/usr/share/NAnt/bin/NAnt.exe:8561): CRITICAL **: _wapi_shm_attach: shared file [/root/.wapi/shared_data-myhost-Linux-x86_64-328-11-0] open error ** ERROR **: file shared.c: line 346 (shm_semaphores_init): assertion failed: (tmp_shared != NULL) aborting...

Then I got gdk not installed problem. But for now, help is required on nunit. Well, maybe it not even mandatory for libsecondlife. Well, maybe I am becoming tired.

[aur-general] Are these people still active as a TU ?
by Ronald van Haren 01 Feb '08

01 Feb '08

Hi, >From http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Trusted_Users I see a couple of people of which I'm either not sure if the are still a TU, or have still interest in the TU responsibilities. These are: encelo: he has no packages in community and is in the AUR not listed as TU filoktetes: list mail to this list was 23th of December. 9/35 packages flagged out of date. iphitus: has 1 package in community and is of course a dev. pjmattal: has 1 package in community and is also a dev. Please report if you are still interested in being a TU. If someone else knows more, I'm glad to hear :) I will start a ping thread for each of these four people in about a weak if the status of them is still unknown by then. Regards, Ronald

[aur-general] need 32 bits testing (i686) of gtk2hs-darcs
by Paul Dufresne 31 Jan '08

31 Jan '08

If someone could test my new (and first) package on a 32 bit systems: gtk2hs-darcs It seems gtk2hs developers have not (much) tested on i686 lately, a bug was found and corrected, but I'd like to know if there is others. Don't reply to this message directly, write comment on the package page. The ideal tester would be someone knowing darcs and Haskell with i686, but only i686 is essential. Pay, is the feeling to have contributed to Gtk2HS ;-) Thanks!
