[aur-general] Delete requests for obsolete XWayland packages
by Tim Jester-Pfadt 31 May '14

31 May '14

Hello, now that XWayland changed to being it's own server binary, rather than a module for X11, there are several obsolete drivers on the AUR which only create confusion.[1][2][3] The new XWayland doesn't need patched drivers anymore. "In the old model, things like modesetting were done in the video driver, unfortunately. In the old model, we simply patched Xorg with a special magical mode to tell video drivers not to do anything too tricky. For instance, the xf86-video-intel driver had a special branch for Xwayland support<http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel/log/?h=xwayland>. For generic hardware support, we wrote a generic, unaccelerated driver<http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-wayland> that stubbed out most of the functions we needed. With the new approach, we don’t need to patch anything at all." [4] There is also an orphaned build of the development X server, which tries to build the old deprecated XWayland approach. [5] You can see this, because it has --enable-wayland instead of the new --enable-xwayland. Another build is a duplicated of the defacto standard xwayland package (xwayland-git) the difference is that it not only builds XWayland, but also the whole X11 server from the development branch even though this is not needed.[6] People could just use the xorg-server-dev and install xwayland-git and get the same thing.

[aur-general] Orphan request: jdownloader2
by Marcel Dopita 31 May '14

31 May '14

The package jdownloader2 is outdated for more than 4 months now. Owner does not list his email so I wasn't able to contact him directly. Exactly two weeks ago I left a comment on AUR and also sent private message to user with same name on official jdownloader board. Both with no response. I'm requesting an orphan so I can fix it (basically a new url) and maintain. Regards, Marcel

[aur-general] Request to remove non-functional package
by Michael Kühn 31 May '14

31 May '14

Hi, the package https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/geoip-update/ does not to work as intended (see my comment) and there is no maintainer for it. I created a new package which should be more reliable: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/geoip-update-systemd/ ... and is also more in-sync with the Archlinux Repositorys intend to not depend on chron/use systemd timers (see "[arch-dev-public] Use systemd timers instead of /etc/cron.{hourly, daily, weekly, monthly}?"). So in my opinion, geoip-update should get removed, shouldn't it? Thanks Michael Kühn

Python bindings for ethumb were finally merged into the python-efl tree. This package has no more reason to exist. Nothing worth merging, so it just needs deleted. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python2-ethumb/ Thanks Doug (Scimmia)
