[aur-general] Merge/removal requests
by Fantix King 03 Jul '13

03 Jul '13

Hi, Could someone please remove these two: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/linux-x32/ Remove, because the official kernel included it. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/virtualbox-modules-x32/ Remove, same reason above. And please merge: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/libx32-sqlite3/ merge into https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/libx32-sqlite/ following an upstream renaming, and https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/libx32-blas/ merge into https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/libx32-lapack/ because libx32-lapack included libx32-blas. Thanks! BR, Fantix

[aur-general] Aggressive deletions?
by enderst 02 Jul '13

02 Jul '13

Not sure how pkgs are checked before deletion but Autoscan was deleted reason was no source. It’s just a broken link: http://autoscan.fr/download_files/autoscan-network-1.50.tar.gz Should be: http://autoscan-network.com/download_files/autoscan-network-1.50.tar.gz Clearly they've changed domains and haven't updated their links. So source is available and binaries for major platforms: http://autoscan-network.com/download/ enderst

[aur-general] Request transfer of ownership of AUR packages
by Siddhartha Sahu 02 Jul '13

02 Jul '13

Hi! There are two AUR packages that I'm using personally, and they haven't been updated for a while. I have also indicated so to the maintainers both in comments and using email to their respective email ids (on 9th May) I haven't received any reply yet. I have written the new PKGBUILDs myself so I was wondering if I could take over the maintenance of these two packages? https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/verlihub https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/verlihub-git Thanks! Siddhartha (sdh)

[aur-general] Merge request: yourls-svn
by Florian Bruhin 02 Jul '13

02 Jul '13

Aaand housekeeping done after that one ;) Could you please merge yourls-svn[0] into yourls-git[1], as upstream switched to git? Thanks.

[aur-general] Deletion request: strace-patched
by Florian Bruhin 02 Jul '13

Hey again, could you please delete strace-patched[0]? The two-digit kernel number fix has landed in extra/strace since 4.8, so this is not needed anymore.

[aur-general] Merge request: python-quick2wire
by Florian Bruhin 02 Jul '13

02 Jul '13

Heya, I uploaded python-quick2wire[1], but since it's a git package it should probably be called -git, so I uploaded the new version as python-quick2wire-git[2] -- can someone please merge them? Thanks.

[aur-general] Deletion request: fdupes-pr
by Florian Bruhin 02 Jul '13

02 Jul '13

Heya, can someone please delete fdupes-pr: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/fdupes-pr/ It was a "preview release" (aka beta), now this got released as an normal release and community/fdupes is the newest version, making this package obsolete. Thanks, Florian
