[aur-general] orphan request: ruby-taglib
by Henning Bekel 01 Oct '10

01 Oct '10

Please orphan ruby-taglib: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=12565 The PKGBUILD is broken and the package needs a patch. The maintainer does not respond to comments or email. It's his only package, created in Aug 2007 and never updated. The PKGBUILD misses dependencies, uses the wrong license, installs into hardcoded ruby 1.8 directories, etc. I'd like to adopt it, I have a working package ready which includes a patch for ruby 1.9.x. Regards, Henning

[aur-general] Dropping python-numeric
by Allan McRae 01 Oct '10

01 Oct '10

python-numeric is old, replaced by python-numpy and has had issues on x86_64 since python-2.5. These issues are far more noticeable in python-2.7 (as in python-numeric just does not work...), so I intend to drop this package from the repos. Two packages in [community] depend on it: freevo, gogh. When python-numeric gets dropped, so will these packages unless their maintainers (or someone else) do something about it. Both look like they can use numpy instead... Allan

[aur-general] State of LCD filtering packages?
by Try Again 30 Sep '10

30 Sep '10

As cairo 1.10 introduces LCD filtering (http://tinyurl.com/35vznmr) cairo-lcd and lib32-cairo-lcd from AUR are no longer needed. If they're removed, maybe we should add a 'replaces' entry in cairo and lib32-cairo. (request to arch-dev-general?) Besides, I wonder if libxft-lcd (in community) and its 32-bit counterpart in AUR are still useful, since I get LCD filtering with bare libxft, the only needed package from AUR was fontconfig-lcd. AUR URLs : - cairo-lcd: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=16459 - lib32-cairo-lcd: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=22090 - lib32-libxft-lcd: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=22091

[aur-general] orphan request: chocolate-doom
by Jason Reardon 30 Sep '10

30 Sep '10

I e-mailed the current maintainer yesterday, but the package hasn't been updated in almost a year-and-a-half, so I was hoping I could just get it orphaned so I can adopt. chocolate-doom: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=6183 -- Jason

[aur-general] Notify on package disown?
by Kaiting Chen 30 Sep '10

30 Sep '10

Hi is there any way to be notified when an AUR package is disowned? I'm trying to take a more active role in the community so I'm trying to adopt some packages. I've already gone through pretty much all the orphaned packages now and adopted the ones that I thought I could maintain well. It would be nice not to have to go through the whole orphan list every couple of days. Kaiting. -- Kiwis and Limes: http://kaitocracy.blogspot.com/

by h2oz7v 29 Sep '10

There have been some changes to [ytmp][1] which break the current PKGBUILD and the current maintainer has been [unavailable][2] for over three weeks now. Please orphan so someone can update it.

I think adobe-air-beta(http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=36919) needs to be deleted as the beta page states that adobe-air 2 is now released. Thanks

[aur-general] I want to take over go-openoffice-el
by Χρήστος Κώτσαρης 29 Sep '10

29 Sep '10

This package http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=27124 has been out of date for quite some time, and his maintener hasn't yet answered my email. I believe he is no longer interested in maintaining it. I have attached my updated PKGBUILD, i have tested on both my machines (i686&x64) and it works fine.

[aur-general] perl CPAN modules
by Nathan O 29 Sep '10

29 Sep '10

I was looking at how Gentoo creates packages and I noticed one thing, is that Gentoo, during build, will use CPAN to get the required modules for the package that is being built. I was thinking, I wonder if this could be implemented into AUR?

[aur-general] package 'php-imagick' has been marked out-of-date for a long time
by Upsuper 28 Sep '10

28 Sep '10

The package 'php-imagick' in aur has been marked out-of-date for a long time, it seems that the original maintainer is not interested in continue maintaining it. And the version now in the aur may cause some error as the imagemagick has been updated for several times. I'd like to take the original maintainer's place to maintain this package in aur, and I have made an up-to-date package. But I cannot submit it now. May I take his place?
