[aur-general] Request delete of samba4-openchange
by Ng Oon-Ee 21 Dec '10

21 Dec '10

http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=41471 Reason: a duplicate of samba4 http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=40043 Background: Previous maintainer created samba4-openchange because openchange relies on a specific version of samba4 but samba4 advanced beyond that version. This is no longer the case, and in addition there doesn't seem to be much use of samba4 currently except for openchange (this is also the case in Debian/Fedora).

[aur-general] Packages looking for maintainer
by Sébastien Duquette 20 Dec '10

20 Dec '10

Hi, I'm currently the maintainer of 34 packages (mostly security related) and I would like to transfer them to someone else since I don't use Arch Linux anymore as my main distribution. However I would prefer not to leave the packages unmaintained, so please email me (include my email address as I'm not subscribed to this list) if you are interesting in adopting some of the packages. Here is the package list (maintainer name: ekse) blitzen cowpatty dissy dnsmap graudit halberd hwreport jumpnbump keimpx lft libdasm libdisasm libnetdude libpcapnav likepython (this one is silly :) ) memfetch netdude php-xhprof proxyfuzz psh ratproxy ruby-anemone ruby-nokogiri ruby-robots ruby-sqlite3-ruby sagan-rules sagan-svn sinatra smem tclx tcpreplay verbiste verbiste-gnome Thanks, Sébastien

[aur-general] TU Application
by Jelle van der Waa 20 Dec '10

20 Dec '10

Hello all. I would like apply to become a TU! Daenyth has decided to sponsor me for my TU application I'm 21 years old and a Bachelor student Computer Science. I have experience with C++, C, x86 ASM, Java, Python, PHP, SQL and javascript. I use archlinux on daily basis as a server and as desktop on my laptop. Since a year I am a maintainer at the Arch-Games project[0], since then i learned how to deal with makepkg, libpng/libjpeg patches, rebuilding packages for boost/python. Also learning how to work and setup clean chroots for 32 and 64 bit and how to improve PKGBUILDs and use tools like git/svn/namcap. I have had much fun and hard work working on updating packages for arch-games, Daenyth really helped me a lot and #archlinux and #archlinux-offtopic guys too ;) Also I must admit i have learned a lot from Ioni. I would like to become a Trusted User, so I can help packaging for community since something there are a lot of orphan packages so I will be always prepared to update/improve those packages. I would love to see improvements like more splitting of packages which has been done with packages like compiz. Also creating more any packages would be better for our mirrors. Since we didn't have much space for packages, I have had to split much data packages to "any". My current packaging interests are haskell, LaTeX, cli apps, virtualization. In the future i am looking into improving tools such as namcap. Feel free ask any questions here or on irc. [0] https://github.com/Arch-Games/arch-games P.S. Allan made me apply :P -- Jelle van der Waa

by Joao Cordeiro 20 Dec '10

qutim-plugin-floaties-latest[1] was a dupe of qutim-plugin-floaties[2] (that was out of date). I asked [2] to orphan and [1] to adopt and update. You can now delete [1]. Thanks in advance, João Cordeiro [1] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=38225 [2] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=27273

[aur-general] Discussion about removing ibus-table-wubi from [community]
by Thomas Dziedzic 19 Dec '10

19 Dec '10

I would like to move ibus-table-wubi [1][2] from community because it hasn't been updated since 27/12/2009 and it has been marked as deprecated upstream when you go to download it. I was just wanting feedback before I remove it. [1] - http://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/i686/ibus-table-wubi/ [2] - http://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/ibus-table-wubi/

[aur-general] Deletion request for kernel26zen-git
by Marcel Korpel 18 Dec '10

18 Dec '10

Hi, As kernel26zen-git [1] has been replaced by zen-kernel [2] the former should be deleted (there's only a dummy PKGBUILD left). The only other thing that should be done is changing the dependency of nvidia-beta-zen [3] and tiacx-zen-svn [4] (though both packages are old/out of date). Thanks in advance. Regards, Marcel [1] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=13900 [2] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=44068 [3] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=13904 [4] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=14491
