[aur-general] Orphan AUR package.
by Claudio Kozický 08 Dec '10

08 Dec '10

Hello. Please orphan AUR package "gmpc-mdcover". The maintainer "cpu" doesn't reply to messages and doesn't update the package. User "cpu" doesn't seem to maintain any of his packages. Thank you. Claudio Kozicky.

[aur-general] deletion request: seamonkey-nightly
by Skyalmian Alcyone 08 Dec '10

08 Dec '10

(I'm guessing the first one didn't get through.) "seamonkey-nightly" package is succeeded by the nightly branch builds seamonkey-nightly-unstable (2.1b2pre branch) and seamonkey-nightly-stable (2.0.12pre branch). The former has the latest code base and is bleeding edge (trunk) while the latter is nevertheless a nightly build, but not bleeding edge. (I was confused at first about this...) ~

[aur-general] grub2-bzr deletion request
by KESHAV P.R. 08 Dec '10

08 Dec '10

Hi anyone, I request the deletion of grub2-bzr http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=37287 . The maintainer seems inactive and has not responded to comments. The grub2 build system has changed (in bzr repo, after 1.98) and new dependencies (autogen etc.) are needed. I have uploaded grub2-bios-bzr http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=41055 to replace it. The pkgname for the new package is intentional as I also maintain grub2-efi-bzr http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=40290 . Thanks in advance. Keshav

[aur-general] deletion request: squeak
by solsTiCe d'Hiver 08 Dec '10

hi. As I have already requested one can delete squeak package (it has been replaced by squeak-vm and its brother squeak-image). The only package depending on it DrGeo has switched dependancy to squeak-vm. So it's safe now to delete it. http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=3705 I don't know if it's possible to migrate the vote number. or if it's even desirable ?

I didn't know perl supplied a large number of packages when I packaged a Perl-Program, so I packaged those I couldn't find in the official repos or AUR. The following are supplied by the Perl package: perl-file-copy-link https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=38801 perl-graph https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=38802 perl-io https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=14631 perl-text https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=38803

[aur-general] Tarball Guidelines
by keenerd 08 Dec '10

08 Dec '10

Officially, the tarballs uploaded to the AUR should be named after their package, contain a directory named after their package, contain no dot files and most importantly contain no binaries. Officially, these requirements are very important. Here are a bunch of non-conforming packages. Maybe 90% of them. (A few errors slip though my scanner.) Of the +700 packages with binaries, most are a simple desktop icon. Should these be base64 encoded if someone can't find hosting? If no one can think of a better way to deal with the nonconforming packages, I'll write a bot to post insulting comments. Personally, I really like this solution. The AUR has always had a wild west frontier / insane asylum feel to it. The less regulation, the better it works. But a few well placed suggestions could help make the two thousand maintainers do a better job. -Kyle http://kmkeen.com

[aur-general] Amendment
by Kaiting Chen 07 Dec '10

07 Dec '10

I move for the amendment of the bylaws. The patch against the current document is attached. Basically the amendment proposes that once an absolute majority is reached the voting period is to end immediately regardless of whether or not quorum was reached. The purpose of this amendment is to minimize parliamentary inefficiency by allowing votes with clearly decided outcomes to be resolved before the end of the established voting period. --Kaiting. -- Kiwis and Limes: http://kaitocracy.blogspot.com/
