[aur-general] Python AUR tarball naming
by David Campbell 28 Jan '11

28 Jan '11

I am updating some python tarballs in the AUR which appear to have been abandoned with the python switchover and don't have python3 versions. I created some python2 versions, named python2-foo, as this is what I thought was the correct practice, but found out the main(core, extra) python packages are not being renamed until python3 versions are available. So what is the correct practice? Should the old python tarballs be deleted and replaced by python2-foo versions or should the python tarballs just be made to work with python2?

[aur-general] AUR cleanup
by Dave Reisner 27 Jan '11

27 Jan '11

So, on the subject of cleanup, I've come across a list of 530 packages on sigurd that aren't accessible from the web interface. Judging from some of the names, I'd wager that these are packages which were deleted but something went wrong, etc etc. In total, it's about 20mb of space that would be freed. Any reason these shouldn't just be purged by someone with root privs? dave

vlc-3gp http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=16612 Orphan, not required by any other package. Obsoleted by VLC in Extra. vlc-legacy http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=21402 Orphan, not required by any other package. Who wants to use a VLC from 2008-09? That's what Debian is for.

[aur-general] Proposal for the reinstatement of AUR Cleanup Day.
by Thomas Dziedzic 26 Jan '11

26 Jan '11

Hello fellow Users/TUs, I have come across a rather old wiki entry [1] which was used for AUR Cleanup Day. It seems like we haven't had this day in quite some time, so I would like to have another AUR Cleanup Day where the community along with the TUs participate to clean things up in the AUR. We would use the wiki link to keep track of progress after cleaning it up a bit since the last time it was used. If I have enough people on board with this, I would like to make it an "AUR Cleanup Weekend" so that they can contribute whenever they have time. I would like to stress that this wouldn't be limited to only TU participation. Anyone would be able to see if there are broken packages, and list them on the wiki to have a TU look at it. I would like to make AUR Cleanup Weekend either this or next weekend. What do you think? [1] - https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR_Cleanup_Day

[aur-general] duplicates of tmux vcs...
by Martti Kühne 26 Jan '11

26 Jan '11

at the moment there are three vcs packages of tmux on aur. http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?K=tmux tmux-cvs is my package. tmux-git is a tmux developer's synchronisation which doesn't use a separate build directory, but may come in handy because it's git and the commit history is present. tmux-cvs-windowstatus is a patch for an obviously outdated cvs repo, because... the patch is for cmd-set-option.c - though right now the file containing that data is called options-table.c and the patched content has been issue to further changes afaict (being no more window-status-bell-* but window-status-alert-* instead for example). Guess it does not build. The third one may be deleted imho. And you know what, scratch mine as well... tmux-git is just fine. cheers!
