[aur-general] Package 'nabi' seems to be unmaintained
by Jaeic Lee 10 Jul '10

10 Jul '10

I've sent an email to the current maintainer as recommended by the wiki, but there has been no response for awhile. It is not too difficult to get it up to date with current PKGBUILD script (in fact, I've already made an updated version of it), so it would be nice to be able to update it on AUR repository also. May I become the maintainer for nabi?

[aur-general] [request] Please remove gconf-hardware-monitor
by Francisco Pina Martins 09 Jul '10

09 Jul '10

Hello all! I own an AUR package called gconf-hw-monitor. It has been useful to patch gconf to work with Hardware-monitor, but since the latest version of hardware-monitor, this patched gconf is no longer required. Therefore I ask any TUs to please delete it as it is deprecated and I no longer plan to maintain it. Here is the link: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=32479 Thank you in advance. Francisco

[aur-general] Removal request for chromium-beta
by Mikhail Vorozhtsov 09 Jul '10

09 Jul '10

Hi. It seems that the chromium package from [extra] is back on track and gets updated quickly on new beta releases. That makes my chromium-beta package[1] just a duplicate. [1] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=37204

[aur-general] Orphan request: grisbi
by Christoph 08 Jul '10

08 Jul '10

The package grisbi http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=1648 has not been updated, although a user (not me) suggested an updated PKGBUILD a month ago. The maintainer's e-mail address <dab(a)brospower.com>does not exist any longer. (Btw, grisbi is the only package owned by the user "dab".) So could you please orphan it? Thanks, Christoph

[aur-general] Python-3.x transition with python-2.7 update
by Allan McRae 08 Jul '10

08 Jul '10

Hi all, Here comes a rebuild so large that our TODO list had trouble handling it! Hopefully all packages are now in the rebuild list.... At a total of 518 packages long, it puts the combined libpng/libjpeg rebuild to shame. Python-2.7 has been releases and will be the last 2.x official release of python. So it is time to switch to python-3.x as our /usr/bin/python and python-2.7 as our /usr/bin/python2. See http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DeveloperWiki:Python_Todo_List for all the details about how to achieve this. It is actually not that hard. I had a system converted when python-3.1 was released as a test run. The main key is to build packages in a clean chroot so that they detect and point their files to /usr/bin/python2. Some packages are stupid and require a sed at the end of packaging to fix that. Because this rebuild is crazy stupid, I would like to plan when it is going to occur. We will need to clear out [testing] as much as possible over the coming week or two (what is happening with perl...). Also, a new KDE is a the beginning of next month so I would not want to conflict with that. Any other major rebuilds on the way? Should we do this in a separate repo? Allan
