[aur-general] Libunwind orphan request.
by Phillip Marvin 23 Sep '11

23 Sep '11

Two weeks ago I contacted the maintainer of libunwind and sent him an updated PKGBUILD, but I haven't heard anything more and the package is not fixed. So can I have the package orphaned please. Phillip Marvin

[aur-general] Head over Heels (hoh 1.01-5) download problems
by SanskritFritz 23 Sep '11

23 Sep '11

I took over the maintenance of hoh. The problem is that makepkg uses wget to download the sources, but wget gets disabled upstream via .htaccess. I contacted the author, he said, he has no sufficient permissions to change this on the webserver where the files are hosted. The previous AUR maintainer of hoh solved this issue simply by hosting the file on his site (which is allowed, settled through email with the author). Spoofing the user-agent in with 'wget --user-agent' or using curl works ok. My question is, what is the recommended way now. Should I host the file somewhere, or should I modify the PKGBUILD so that it downloads and unpacks the source manually, or is there another way I overlooked?

[1] ksh and [2] ast-ksh are basicly the same package. But have differend kind of PKGBUILDS, and I think they should be merged to gether. ksh has better name i think.

[aur-general] Mandatory comment along with OOD-flag
by nem 21 Sep '11

21 Sep '11

good day! recently i experienced some wild out-of-date flagging without any comments or even backupped reasons for codelite [1] from different users (even multiple times by the same) over the past two weeks. someone has been kind enough to help me unflagging these. however this is not only very annoying without any reasons (comments or email of the flaggers) whatsoever but also kind of lighted some concern about the carelessness of how people are flagging. they don't seem to even read the latest comments of the package or try to get a grasp of their reasoning ([1] is the stable version. they probably want the svn version which is also available). i thought about that and putting a fulltext description in the pkg-desc field is probably not what it's meant to be. so what came to my mind was a mandatory comment along with flagging to get an idea, why the person thinks it's out of date. that would make them think before flagging and also make them come back and read the response and not flag it out-of-date again. anyone else having similar issues? or am i overreacting here? regards, nem [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=18809

Hello - I have a package in AUR, https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=51110 This is the mysql-proxy OCF for HA-Heartbeat. I have found that it actually is present in the ha-heartbeat package so there is no need for this one in the AUR. Thanks, Brian Parsons

[aur-general] Deletion request telepathy-kde-chat-handler-git
by George Brooke 20 Sep '11

20 Sep '11

Hi, Please delete telepathy-kde-chat-handler-git [1] as it is incorrectly named, the correct name is telepathy-kde-text-ui-git for which there is a PKGBUILD at [2]. There also exists telepathy-chat-handler-git [3] which predates [1] and [2], I will be updating this and adding an echoed warning in the .install file to ask people to switch to the correctly named packages. Once this is done I will wait a week or two for anyone using the pkgs to notice the warning then ask for all of the packages following the old names to be deleted.

by Baptiste 19 Sep '11

Hi TUs, Could you delete `ocaml-with-complibs` [1]? It was created while waiting for the feature to be integrated in [extra], which tpowa has just done [2]. Two AUR packages depend on [1] ("ocaml-lwt" [3] and "ocaml-utop" [4]), but I've already warned the maintainers. Thank you!
