[aur-general] Should I have python-mongokit deleted?
by Aaron DeVore 27 Jan '13

27 Jan '13

I'm currently maintaining python-mongokit and python2-mongokit. python-mongokit is currently for Python 2 pending release of a Python 3 version. Should I have python-mongokit removed for now? I can't find a clear policy regarding that. -Aaron DeVore

[aur-general] extra/gnome-common is out-of-date
by Limao Luo 27 Jan '13

27 Jan '13

Hi TU's, I'm writing to let you guys know that extra/gnome-common has been out-of-date for a couple of weeks. I would really appreciate anyone updating it to 3.7.4 (it's currently 3.6.0) so that autoconf 2.13 plays well with the gnome-autogen.sh script that is a part of this package; several of my packages (e.g. rhythmbox-git, gmpc-git, gnome-doc-utils-git) don't build atm because of this, because the old script only checks up to autconf version 2.12. Thanks in advance. -luolimao

[aur-general] NVIDIA drivers
by Maxime Gauduin 26 Jan '13

26 Jan '13

Hi all, As you may know, the NVIDIA drivers are split across a multitude of packages. While it is of no consequence when using the ones in the repo, it becomes a bit more of a problem when building packages from the AUR. I for example have to install nvidia-utils-beta, lib32-nvidia-utils-beta, nvidia-source-beta and nvidia-hook (mkinitcpio hook using dkms) to get all the required files. That means downloading the x86_64 blob 2 times and the i686 one 1 time (I'm using a dkms version to not download them one more time for each of my kernels). Moreover, all those packages have hard dependencies on version numbers, making AUR helpers quite helpless when there is an update (sure you could download all tarballs and have a centralized sources folder, build all packages, and then installing all at the same time, but keeping up to date would become very time consuming). I heard a nvidia-total-beta package was uploaded not long ago but swiftly deleted by gtmanfred who thought it was not needed. I don't mean to criticize, but I do think it would be of use to quite a lot of people. I'm using the catalyst-total on my laptop and I love it, having all in one place is good for the bandwidth and every update is just a breeze. Therefore I have made two new PKGBUILDs, nvidia-total [1] and nvidia-total-beta [2] which group the packages mentioned above for the regular and beta drivers, and are the NVIDIA counterparts to the catalyst-total package. I'm asking the TUs to reconsider their usefulness before I upload the to the AUR, only to see them deleted. Thx in advance for your answers.

[aur-general] Inactivity
by Lukas Jirkovsky 26 Jan '13

26 Jan '13

Hello fellow TUs, Maybe some of you noticed that I was not very active last days, and I'm afraid that I will be inactive a few more days. I thought I will be able to do the boost rebuild at least, but because the new devtools dropped support for the initstrips I was not able to build it and I didn't have enough time to solve it. I'd have written earlier, but last few days were really hectic because of the traveling and school. Lukas
