by Niccolò Maggioni 28 May '14

28 May '14

More than two weeks have passed, still no answer from mainteiner. > The current 'torque' AUR package is not working anymore and a solution had not been found. > I tried to contact the maintainer to send a new PKGBUILD but no answer was received; since I built a working package I would like to update it and become the maintainer. > > Have a nice day, > Niccolò Maggioni

[aur-general] Requesting ownership for package nicovideo-dl
by Jari Vetoniemi 28 May '14

28 May '14

AUR package nicovideo-dl exposes bug in python, and thus won't work without patch. I've tried to contact the maintainer by e-mail (about half a year ago) and comment for orphaning the package, but haven't got reply so far. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/nicovideo-dl I accidentally posted this to aur-dev before, that can be ignored.

[aur-general] Out of date packages
by Limao Luo 27 May '14

27 May '14

Hi, I am the user luolimao in the AUR. To all of those that use outdated packages that I maintain, sorry. I haven't had access to a computer for the last few weeks, and I won't have my Arch Linux setup back until next week (due to a broken hard drive). If there are any packages that need to be updated urgently, shoot me an email and I'll gladly orphan it. Thanks, Limao Luo (luolimao)

[aur-general] Perl 5.20 Released to the Wild
by John D Jones III 27 May '14

27 May '14

Sometime this morning, the Perl Development Folks released Perl 5.20. I expect that the CORE Perl package will follow suite very shortly. All Perl PKGBUILD owners should be prepared for this, all the PKGBUILDs will need to be checked and verified on AUR once the new very is made available. If anyone out there owns Perl PKGBUILDs that are troublesome, please email me @ jnbek1972(a)gmail.com to let me know and what problems you're having and I will happily have a look to either assist or adopt said PKGBUILDs. -- Thanks, John D Jones III UNIX Zealot; Perl Lover unixgeek1972(a)gmail.com jnbek1972(a)gmail.com http://zoelife4u.org/

[aur-general] Delete request: elementary_test-git
by Doug Newgard 27 May '14

27 May '14

This package was created when I uploaded a source package for elementary-git created with mkaurball. It should not exist, as it's created by elementary-git as a split package. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/elementary_test-git/

[aur-general] Deletion request: python-errorhandler
by Aaron DeVore 27 May '14

27 May '14

I just adopted python2-errorhandler because it is an optdepends of a package that I maintain. python-errorhandler is a duplicate and upstream does not support Python 3 at this time. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python-errorhandler -Aaron DeVore

[aur-general] What stops more packages moving from AUR to Community?
by Steven Honeyman 27 May '14

27 May '14

Reading the wiki, I got the impression that AUR packages with more than 10 votes would be considered worthy enough to move to the Community repo. I understand that the ones with thousands of votes haven't moved due to licence type issues or binary requirements (e.g. spotify, minecraft, teamviewer, acrobat reader)... but something as simple as Archey https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/archey/ currently has 415 votes, and is used my many people for inclusions on screenshots etc (I found it by searching for it, after seeing it on the forums!) - that kind of thing I would have expected would be a "no-brainer" to be moved across into Community. I count roughly 9100 packages in the AUR with more than 10 votes! Is it a lack of TUs having time to maintain more than they currently do that's holding back many of them? (that's not meant as a criticism of the TUs; being understaffed is a valid explanation) Either way, perhaps the Wiki should be changed to say 1000 votes instead :D
