[aur-general] AUR Merge request for kubebox and kubebox-bin
by David Rodriguez 06 Dec '19

06 Dec '19

Hello, I am the maintainer of both kubebox and kubebox-bin. It has been brought to my attention that kubebox, since it is not built from source, would be more appropriately named "kubebox-bin". I've already uploaded the new package and am requesting a merge for comments and votes. Thank you, David Rodriguez

[aur-general] Transition from split package to unsplit package
by Georg 27 Nov '19

27 Nov '19

Hi list, with the deprecation of Python2 ahead lots of packages currently built as split packages for py2/py3 will have to transition to non-split packages building only the py3 version, but this is not the only scenario when this could be needed. What is the correct workflow for this? It might depend on whether the pkgbase is the py2 vs py3 package vs another name (all cases exist). best regards Georg

Now you suspended my account, and destroyed all my work on Arch. But that was a less risky decision than keeping you around. Your purpose was never to enforce good practices but to boycott. What you call quality standards won't allow me to reach my goals. You don't care about the contents of the book, you only care about how well it's written.

[aur-general] xmrig-amd package deleted?
by Matt Harrison 25 Nov '19

25 Nov '19

Hi, It looks like the xmrig-amd [1] was recently deleted from the AUR. I don't currently see any mention anywhere of why or how it was deleted, so I am wondering why it was deleted? I can re-created it from the archive and maintain it myself, but I wanted to check first to not step on anyone's feet if it was deleted for a specific reason. Thanks, Matt Harrison [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xmrig-amd/

[aur-general] Dispute on thedarkmod-bin
by Alberto Salvia Novella 24 Nov '19

24 Nov '19

A Trusted User decided to orphan one of my packages, and override it with their own version. The reason given was I was using a custom installer for it, but without that installer the software cannot run properly as it was never designed to be used in a Linux filesystem system wide. Still they insisted it could be done. Now that they orphaned the packaged and implemented their own solution, the software is no longer working and it can never do so. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/thedarkmod-bin
