[aur-general] Upload package blacklist, maybe upcoming merge request
by Stefan Husmann 29 May '14

29 May '14

Hello, I think that the package openjade1.3 [1] in AUR is badly named, and so wanted to upload an openjade PKGBUILD. But doing so burp (from git) told me this: >error: failed to upload openjade-1.3.2-2.src.tar.gz: openjade is on the package >blacklist, please check if it's available in the official repos. (with this strange apostrophe). So I want to ask, if there is such a blacklist, and why openjade is on it. I know that there is a package jade in the repos, but that is not entirely the same as openjade. Should openjade1.3 be removed? Or merged into openjade?

[aur-general] Suggest replacing [community]/tmw with manaplus from AUR
by Jesse McClure 28 May '14

28 May '14

ATTN: Jaroslav Lichtblau and/or Jan Steffens I propose [community]/tmw [1] be replaced with manaplus [2]. These are both clients for an online game "The Mana World". The TMW client has been labeled 'EOL' by The Mana World developers [3] and they have urged players who have not already done so to switch to manaplus. There are currently two manaplus packages in the AUR (manaplus, manaplus-git). I've been in contact with the previous maintainer as they are out of date. The previous maintainer orphaned both packages and I've adopted the git package and brought it up to pacman 4.1 VCS packaging guidelines. Before I adopt the other, I thought I should check whether Jan or Jaroslav (current TMW packager/maintainer) would be interested in taking it into [community] in place of TWM given the EOL status of TMW. Please let me know if there are better venues to make this suggestion. As this is definitely not a 'bug' and it is not strictly an out-of-date package, it seemed most fitting to make this suggestion here.

[aur-general] Deletion request: eclectus
by Rémy Marquis 28 May '14

28 May '14

I am the maintainer of the eclectus package. This software stopped working a long time ago, due to change of a dependency break. No upstream activity for about 4 years, and it seems this software won't be updated by its original author. No additional votes in years either. Please delete. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/eclectus

by Andrey Mivrenik 28 May '14

Hello. Package ttf-sil-fonts is not being maintained by maintainer for ages (literally). To build this successfully, everyone is using PKGBUILD's published in comments. Could you orphan it please, so someone can make it working again? https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ttf-sil-fonts -- Andrey Mivrenik GPG Key ID: D782DAB8

[aur-general] Request to be maintainer of AUR package 'gimp-light'
by Steven Honeyman 28 May '14

28 May '14

The package "gimp-light" in the AUR has been left abandoned for over a year. I have written an updated PKGBUILD for 2.8.10, so wondered if the package could be orphaned so that I can take over as the maintainer? (The current maintainer seems to have disappeared)

[aur-general] removal request
by Alexej Magura 28 May '14

28 May '14

This is more of "should this be removed; if so, please remove it"-request. package-name: epsxe-bios-scph1001 package-url: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/epsxe-bios-scph1001/ I know that the package *even* states that it is illegal to use said package without owning an actual playstation console, but still... isn't this kinda like telling people that it's illegal to steal your car, but then leaving the keys on the hood and going about your business? Peeps are gonna steal! Not sure if this is issue/concern is actually meaningful in the sense that the package *is very* useful, but... yeah.
