[aur-general] Deletion request for ipython
by pavel.finkelshtein＠gmail.com 30 Aug '19

30 Aug '19

Hi Antonio, hi community You've requested deletion of ipython-7 package, mainaned by me with 2 comments: 1. Duplicate of python-prompt_toolkit 2. absurd commit messages While both of them are true I would like to comment on both: 1. Yes, it's duplicate, but it wasn't at a time of publishing. I'll tell you more: community was long behind AUR at that moment because it needs more time to go from upstream to community and less time from upstream to AUR. If you think that it's not the case — then we can safely delete it 2. Comments are absolutely random, but… I just think that when there are no important changes in repository, just version bumps then no comment can make sense. Of course I'm absolutely ready to rewrite history to make them just normal boring comments. -- Regrads, Pasha

[aur-general] Spotify paying attention to requests for redistribution permission
by Chris Billington 28 Aug '19

28 Aug '19

Hi all, It looks like Spotify had paid some small amount of attention to the request that they change their license to allow redistribution, or that they give permission to redistribute to specific Linux distros, which is the main thing blocking Spotify from being in the repos instead of on the AUR. Today they have marked the issue as "new" and left a note saying they are assessing its popularity by waiting for people to vote for it. It's not clear how much of an effect it will have, but if you are interested you can vote for the issue here: https://community.spotify.com/t5/Live-Ideas/Linux-Add-Spotify-to-the-offici… -Chris

[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
