[aur-general] first package -- luagraph
by Philipp Gesang 14 Jan '11

14 Jan '11

Hello archers, for my own use I made a pkgbuild of luaGRAPH[1] and I’d like to share it via aur. As this will be my first contribution I guess it can’t hurt to have it reviewed here by more experienced users before submitting. Thanks for your opinion, Philipp [1] http://luagraph.luaforge.net/ http://luaforge.net/projects/luagraph/

[aur-general] Wrote Small AUR Helper
by Nathan Owens 14 Jan '11

14 Jan '11

I wrote a little AUR helper in C++, though currently it only downloads the tarball if the package name is valid. I am new to C++ and wanted to know if you thought the code was good. I was thinking about putting it in AUR, but figured I would asked for opinion first. Here is the url for the code: http://pastebin.com/aSW1awD4

[aur-general] Please delete ttf-ms-extrafonts
by Marcel Korpel 14 Jan '11

14 Jan '11

Hi everyone, Can someone please delete ttf-ms-extrafonts [1]; it has no maintainer and as mutlu_inek said in the comments his ttf-vista-fonts [2] provides the same fonts and has a more liberal license. Regards, Marcel [1] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=35297 [2] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=10408

[aur-general] Please remove the incorrectly named "netbeans-se" package
by Xavion 14 Jan '11

14 Jan '11

The "netbeans-se" package should have been called "netbeans-javase", since NetBeans is about more than just Java. For this reason, I've just uploaded a "netbeans-javase" package to AUR. The "netbeans-se" package was orphaned by its original maintainer, so I adopted it temporarily. Please don't screw this up and remove the wrong one! The "netbeans-se" package needs deleting.

[aur-general] libnl 2.0 rebuild
by Thomas Bächler 13 Jan '11

13 Jan '11

So, libnl 2.0 was declared stable in October as I just learned. These packages are compatible with libnl 2.0: - crda - iw - wpa_supplicant - hostapd These packages don't as far as I can see: - libpcap - networkmanager These I didn't check: - kismet - net-snmp - knemo - libvirt - simh Can the respective maintainers find out whether there are patches for libnl 2.0 support? I'd like to do the rebuild on the weekend. If we can't fix all packages, we could put a libnl1 package to [extra]. (If there are no patches, it seems that porting to libnl 2.0 is not that difficult, so we could do it ourselves and submit it)

Hi, I'd like to submit this package to the AUR but, as it's my first package, I'd like some reviews of the package before I send it. Thanks ! Sebastien Duthil

[aur-general] Please delete evolution-added-plugins
by Ng Oon-Ee 13 Jan '11

13 Jan '11

I uploaded it [1] then realized it would be better to follow the way Debian packages it. For background, Gnome Evolution has some 'experimental' (read: unmaintained) plugins in its source which are not installed by default. Package [1] was my initial attempt to compile them, and was meant as a replacement for evolution in [extra]. I realized though that the Debian package was only a few kb (only containing the plugin), so I uploaded [2] which follows the same name as Debian/Ubuntu and only contains the plugin, with a versioned dependency on evolution. So in conclusion, [2] replaces and is better than [1], please delete [1] =) [1] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=45345 [2] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=45346

[aur-general] Please delete syncevolution-bin
by Ng Oon-Ee 13 Jan '11

13 Jan '11

Maintainer of [1] request that [2] be used instead. [2] is the proper way to install syncevolution and use it. Please delete [1]. I asked the maintainer to request it himself but no reply in almost 2 weeks. [1] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=38320 [2] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=19876

[aur-general] Community Cleanup 2011.
by Thomas Dziedzic 13 Jan '11

13 Jan '11

I would like to propose moving all of the orphans in [community] to the aur by this Friday if no one has adopted them by then. If one of your packages needs an orphan as a dependency, you must adopt it. Orphans really deserve a maintainer and I would be more comfortable with the package having a maintainer in the aur then being an orphan in [community]. Community orphans: http://tinyurl.com/29lp5r6 Thanks and let the discussion begin!

[aur-general] Packages up for adoption
by Gary Wright 12 Jan '11

12 Jan '11

Hello to everyone on the AUR mailing list. Sadly, my job doing desktop support has evaporated (along with most of the tech jobs around town), leaving me with much, much less time to tend over my packages. Its back to the menial retail life for me. But my loss is your gain! I was watching over a few packages in the AUR, but now am forced to disown them, due to lack of time and energy. (and a constant SSH connection to my boxes at home!) Here is a list of PKGBUILDS followed by how many votes they have: archdark-gdm-theme 0.2-2 120 baobab 2.4.2-2 254 gnomebaker 0.6.4-1 238 monkey 0.11.0-1 9 monkey-git 20100415-1 0 mt-daapd 0.2.4.2-6 36 win7multi-gdm-theme 10 By the time this email hits the repeater, they should be disowned. Feel free to contact me at wriggary at gmail if you have any questions about these packages. -Gary
