[aur-general] Disown request: qterminal-git
by Jerome Leclanche 12 Apr '14

12 Apr '14

Hi I maintain the LXQt packages already and I'd like to ask for qterminal-git: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/qterminal-git/ The package hasn't been updated in exactly one year, despite three requests in the comments. Maintainer doesn't seem to have been active in several months either. J. Leclanche

[aur-general] Deletion request gnome-shell-theme-frieze
by Joost Bremmer 11 Apr '14

11 Apr '14

I understand this is the place to go to get packages removed, in which case I'd like to suggest deleting gnome-shell-theme-frieze [1]. I adopted this package about a year ago but there have been no updates to the theme since Gnome 3.6. Since we're soon heading to 3.12 I think it's safe to say everyone involved has moved on to other things. Thanks in advance, Joost Bremmer [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gnome-shell-theme-frieze/ Toost Inc. "We apologize for the inconvenience"

[aur-general] Packaging a Ruby application (veewee) with embedded gems (no dependency on Arch ruby-* packages)
by Bertrand Bonnefoy-Claudet 10 Apr '14

10 Apr '14

Hello, veewee [1] is a great tool for building vagrant boxes. Unfortunately, it depends on many other gems. I've already built a package ruby-veewee [2] using Arch packages as dependencies and there is a git version, veewee-git [3], but I find them unsatisfactory because of how difficult they are to package with the right version for each gem. vagrant has recently been accepted in community and has a PKGBUILD that I find peculiar. It seems like it uses some embedded directory to store gems it depends on. Sorry, I'm not very familiar with Ruby and gems. What I would like to achieve is similar. How can I package veewee-git so that required gems are built to and loaded from /opt/veewee/gems ? I have tried several combinations with "gem install" and bundler but without success. Thanks, [1] https://github.com/jedi4ever/veewee [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ruby-veewee/ [3] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/veewee-git/ -- Bertrand

AFAICT they do an automated conversion from the cabal files and maintain a set of patches for adding external dependencies, etc. https://github.com/archhaskell
