[aur-general] Greetings from Alibloke
by Alasdair Haswell 16 Oct '10

16 Oct '10

Hello, I've recently joined this list and thought I should introduce myself. I'm a linux sysadmin for a fairly large hosting company and have been using linux for around eight years now. I've been running Arch for a little over a year and it's quickly become my distro of choice. The AUR is an exceptional resource and I've decided to contribute some of my time towards maintaining some packages. I've picked up an orphan; rng-tools and updated it to the latest version. It's my first attempt at writing a PKGBUILD, any comments/suggestions would be welcome. I'm also looking at updating the meanwhile library, it looks to have been out of date for some years now. I've emailed the maintainer with no response - how would I go about taking over this package? Regards, Ali.

[aur-general] Wine removal requests
by Det 16 Oct '10

16 Oct '10

Heyeyeh, So here's some unnecessary/obsolete wine packages that should be wiped out from the face of AUR Ò_Ó: bin32-wine-wow-hardware-cursor: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=33975 wine-stable-wc: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=33231 wine-wc: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=27298 wine-wow-hardware-cursor: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=33974 (users claiming that WoW patch v4.0.1 allows the usage of [community]/[multilib]'s vanilla wine without issues - so all those WoW Wine packages have become obsolete) wine-key: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=30473 (maintainer claims that "the key repeat bug has been fixed a loooong time ago") Thanks for your time, Det

[aur-general] Changing email address for account on AUR
by Magnus Therning 14 Oct '10

14 Oct '10

I've just inherited the arch-haskell AUR account from Don, and yesterday I did two things: • Changed the email address associated with the account • Changed the password for the account I managed to fail with both: • I misspelt the email address, it should have been magnus+arch-haskell(a)therning.org • I failed in copy-pasting the correct password into the encrypted file where I keep credentials related to arch-haskell Any chance I can get any help sorting this out? /M -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) magnus＠therning．org Jabber: magnus＠therning．org http://therning.org/magnus identi.ca|twitter: magthe

[aur-general] Assigning Numbers to User and Group
by Steve Holmes 14 Oct '10

14 Oct '10

I've been working on an alternate PKGBUILD for speech dispatcher where it would run as a system wide service by default. In doing this, I created a user, speechd and a group, a11y so I could keep the speech environment secure through the unix domain socket. So far, it seems to be looking and working pretty good. Anyway, I don't know how numeric IDs are assigned to users and groups - especially those intended to be used by system daemons like mysql or postgreql. I have postgresql on my box and it does this same kind of thing with user and group creation. Do you know what values I should be using so I don't conflict with other potential packages? If you want an example of what I'm talking about, see the PKGBUILD script for postgreql it creates a user and group on the fly as needed. I plan to do the same with my project. Thanks for any help you can.

[aur-general] Please delete offlineimap-idle-git
by Ng Oon-Ee 14 Oct '10

14 Oct '10

Source no longer exists, it was merged into offlineimap back some time ago (and subsequently deleted for causing too many crashes). offlineimap itself is unfortunately unmaintained (but still working for now). http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=30592

[aur-general] Request for deletion: gmpc-plugins-0.20.0
by Cédric Girard 13 Oct '10

13 Oct '10

Hi, Could someone please delete the package gmpc-plugins-0.20.0 [1]? The package is a duplicate of gmpc-plugins and has not been updated since its creation despite missing dependencies. I think this package was first created because gmpc-plugins was out-of-date and not orphaned. I've contacted the previous maintainer since and taken over. Thanks. [1] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=39206 [2] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=29603 -- Cédric Girard
