[aur-general] Orphaning mediatomb
by Jonathan Conder 24 Oct '11

24 Oct '11

Hi TUs, In a few days I will be orphaning my package mediatomb, and will delete it too unless anyone is interested in maintaining it. It has been unmaintained upstream for over a year, and currently I don't have enough time to deal with the issues that keep cropping up because of this. At the moment it isn't even installed on my main computer. Thought I'd just let people know first, in case anyone else is interested in maintaining it, and to give my reasons for dropping it. Thanks, Jonathan

[aur-general] [broadcom-wl] kernel panic
by Vitor Eiji Justus Sakaguti 24 Oct '11

24 Oct '11

Hi, Just a heads up to all users of broadcom-wl: a lot of people (myself included) have been reporting kernel panics at boot time after upgrade to current version, so if you're planing to upgrade, be sure to have a live cd around to chroot into your system. There are still no known workarounds other than blacklisting the wl module (thus disabling wireless board) or removing the package. [1] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=19514 Good luck! Vitor

[aur-general] Duplicate version of blinks-darcs in the AUR
by merp boop 23 Oct '11

23 Oct '11

Hey all, Before I sound like anything I'm not! - I don't really care about politics - I hate drama - I try my best to conform to standards in contributed work - I appreciate everyone that contributes to Arch - I understand that one can become emotionally invested in their efforts That being said, another user created a package in the AUR called 'blink', which is basically a copy of my package, 'blink-darcs'. This wouldn't cause any issues if 'blink' built from an archive of sources and didn't use darcs to pull the sources, but that's not the case. What's your opinion on this? How should this be handled? -Max

[aur-general] Aur error: Invalid name: only lowercase letters are allowed.
by Ondřej Kučera 23 Oct '11

23 Oct '11

Hello, I'm trying to upload and updated PKGBUILD for my package spring-framework but I'm getting the error message "Invalid name: only lowercase letters are allowed.". I've never seen this before and also this is the first PKGBUILD with package splitting I've ever tried to upload so I guess it may be related (makepkg doesn't complain though). The significant parts of PKGBUILD look as follows: pkgname=('spring-framework' 'spring-framework-doc') pkgbase='spring-framework' pkgver=3.0.6 pkgrel=1 ... build() { ... } package_spring-framework() { ... } package_spring-framework-doc() { ... } Am I doing something wrong? Ondřej -- Cheers, Ondřej Kučera

Dear TUs, please merge python-suds into python2-suds. Both have the same contents, yet the latter the correct naming. Thanks Michael

[aur-general] tuxtype2 duplicate of tuxtype
by Philipp 22 Oct '11

22 Oct '11

It seems tuxtype2 is a duplicate of tuxtype, currently tuxtype2 is an older version and the tuxtype PKGBUILD has a couple of problems. tuxtype: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=22661 tuxtype2: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=21441 tuxtype is clearly the better name, tuxtype2 is misleading. Another confusing aspect is that the name of the software is actually Tux Typing or TuxTyping, although the executable is tuxtype, so I guess that's ok. Anyway, I suggest the removal of tuxtype2 and hope that the maintainer of tuxtype will tidy up his package.

[aur-general] Deletion request: gnome-shell-extension-ibus-panel
by Jekyll Wu 22 Oct '11

22 Oct '11

I am the maintainer of this package[1]. AFAIK its features have been merged back into ibus-gjs-git[2] and the development has stopped. It does not work with gnome-shell-3.2.1 from [extra] so please delete it. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=50598 [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=48085
