[aur-general] Question about patches in [community]
by Brad Fanella 07 Sep '10

07 Sep '10

Hi everyone, I have a few popular packages I would be interested in moving to and maintaining in [community]. However, I recall reading somewhere that AUR software that includes a patch is typically not accepted in community until the upstream developers fix/merge the patches into the software and release it. Is this correct, or am I being misled? Thanks, Brad

[aur-general] deleted package?
by Hervé Cauwelier 06 Sep '10

06 Sep '10

Hi, I found a flashplugin package for x86_64 this morning that seemed more up-to-date than the last one maintained in community. But by the time I installed it, it disappeared from AUR. http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=32539 I didn't see any deletion request on the list. Has any TU taken the initiative to delete it? (I can't use the multilib package because nspluginwrapper is too unstable.) -- Hervé Cauwelier

My package, gadmin-sshd http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=40572, does not seem to install the desktop file or my bash script I added. For the moment, I don't see the obvious reason why. Everything should be fine Thanks

Hi (again) TUs and... other people(?), My earlier, rather long, mail was pretty much ignored so here's another try: xorg-server-antidesktop (delete; unnecessary and not being updated): http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=23750 xorg-server-catalyst (delete; unnecessary ("xorg-server{,-1.7,-1.8}-catalyst-maximize-fix" exist in AUR) and not being updated): http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=26728 xorg-server-xephyr (delete; unnecessary and not being updated): http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=15438 songbird (orphan; the maintainer decided to replace the PKGBUILD with a non-working version of songbird-svn - should be replaced with this one: http://www.mediafire.com/?q59or5x23kr54r6) http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=7286 songbird-bin (delete; unnecessary (unnecessary naming and identical to songbird-stable-bin)): http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=24586 songbird-stable-bin (delete; unnecessary (unnecessary naming and identical to songbird-bin)): http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=33050 inputproto-newest (delete; unnecessary (identical to [extra]'s inputproto, which is actually even updated faster)). Thanks for your time, "Det"

Hi, Is it neccessary to download sources for both architectures? Something like [ "$CARCH" = "i686" ] && ARCH=x86 [ "$CARCH" = "x86_64" ] && ARCH=x86_64 source=(http://downloads.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/wine/$pkgname-$pkgver-… would save some bandwith when building just for one arch.
