[aur-general] Retiring AUR account formally, requesting maintainers/comaintainers
by Sapphira Armageddos 21 Aug '19

21 Aug '19

Hi everyone, Firstly, I'd like to apologize to all the people who've been waiting on support requests that I haven't been able to follow up on. I should've made the circumstances of my situation clearer to the people that depended on me. Secondly, hopping back into packaging in is turning out to be a lot harder than I thought. It's been two years at my new job. While my schedule doesn't use up a lot of the week, it does leave me tired to the point where I can't support as many people (or packages) as I'd like to. Additional stressors from other parts of life made it hard to keep up with prior activity I maintained before. Finally, there's the communication gaps that happened from needing to reconfigure email clients on both desktop and phone. Thus, it'd be best to orphan the packages so they can find new homes. Or request co-maintainers for packages where I have written code for upstream, but don't know who to contact to check for willing packagers. Of the packages I want to be co-maintained, the Compiz-Reloaded packages are the highest priority in finding a new maintainer. Those are pretty popular, and I still use those myself everyday. If there's a package you'd like to adopt or co-maintain, please let me know. Full listing of packages is here:: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/?O=0&SeB=m&K=ShadowKyogre&outdated=&SB=n… Best regards, ShadowKyogre

Hello, upon investigating how I as a package maintainer should deal with spam comments on the packages I maintain, I found that I'm supposed to email aur-general(a)archlinux.org seeking more direct assistance. The relevant package in question: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/rmmagent/ Let me know if there's anything further I can do. Thanks! Sean

[aur-general] kodi-devel-bin
by Paul M. Finkelshteyn 18 Aug '19

Hi folks, It looks like to me that all kodi-devel packages are named wrong. For example kodi-devel-bin isn't binary package. Is there some way to force renaming it? Regards, Pasha

[aur-general] Custom arch repository
by pavel.finkelshtein＠gmail.com 17 Aug '19

17 Aug '19

Hi everyone, I'm looking for any description on how arch linux repository should be organized. I've found way to publish built packages to github pages, but it's absolutely not enough to just put them somewhere. It looks like repository should have some predefined structure, maybe index files and so on. Any ideas on where I can find them? -- Regrads, Paul

[aur-general] request for action on orphan request
by Joel Shapiro 16 Aug '19

16 Aug '19

Hi all, I (jshap[1]) put in a request on `nvidia-docker`[2] for it to be orphaned 2 weeks ago and seeing as some reasonable time has gone by I'd like to ask that the request be granted. It is preventing me from being able to delete a dead package[3]. Thanks, Joel [1]: https://aur.archlinux.org/account/jshap [2]: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/nvidia-docker/ [3]: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/nvidia-container-runtime-hook/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This email message is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential information.

[aur-general] Retiring my account, orphaning some packages.
by Aniket Pradhan 14 Aug '19

14 Aug '19

Hello everyone! I am writing this mail with a sad heart. I have to shift to some other distro now, and hence would be unable to maintain the few packages that I am doing now. I would request the interested people to have a look at my profile [1] which states the packages I am maintaining currently. If you want to maintain/adopt some package, shoot an e-mail in the same thread (no personal e-mails would be considered). I will be orphaning all the packages from the next week, and hence would be really pleased if most of them get adopted before that.

[...] Hey Aniket, thx a lot for announcung this rather than just dropping your packages. I would offer to adopt `git-open-git`, since I'm using this one myself. In the AUR, I go by "Kr1ss", btw. In case that there would still be other packages left at the time you'll leave, I'd probably consider picking up some more. Anyways, thank you for contributing to the AUR, and I hope we'll soon have you back ! ;D Best, Kriss
