by Balló György 21 Jan '18

21 Jan '18

According to the Trusted User Bylaws[1], we have to vote about the removal of an inactive TU, speps. So I'm starting a discussion period of 3 days. 1. His last commit in the [community] repository: 2017-01-03 2. He doesn't maintain any packages in AUR. 3. His last message to aur-general mailing list: 2014-03-02 4. Most of his packages were adopted by dvzrv. speps, thank you for your work on making Arch Linux better. I hope that once we'll see you again!

[aur-general] rewrite git history
by Sandor Nagy 20 Jan '18

20 Jan '18

Hi, I did git commit and git push into AUR from a PC at my workplace using company email address accidentally, but it is a policy at our company, that email address must not to be public. Can I clean that anyway? I have set my public email address and tried git commit --amend --reset-author using the right email but hook declined. If a TU can rewrite the git history, please write me a private email message.

[aur-general] Wrong AUR Build file
by Panayotis Katsaloulis 18 Jan '18

18 Jan '18

Hello people Newbie here in Arch Linux. I have a question, which I didn't find in the documentation. What is the proposed way to inform about an AUR build file containing errors? Especially if I e-mailed the maintainer with no response? Thank you!

[aur-general] orphaned packages
by Joseph Carta 17 Jan '18

17 Jan '18

Hi all. There are two packages that were just recently orphaned, dvdstyler, and one of its dependencies, wxsvg. I would be willing to adopt these packages if no one else does, but I'm not a programmer and would rather not. I'm pretty sure that dvdstyler is the only application of it's kind for linux, so I'm assuming it's useful to many. Is anyone willing to adopt these packages? Are there alternatives for dvd menu creation (gui) that I'm not aware of?

[aur-general] Package not updating on AUR
by Kyle McNally 15 Jan '18

15 Jan '18

Hello, I recently became the co-maintainer of the plex-sub-zero package [1]. I pushed to it's repo, but the version isn't being updated on the AUR. Should the AUR update when I push, or does the maintainer need to do anything? If you check out the PKGBUILD, it shows the updated file.

[aur-general] Does anyone want to maintain the GNUstep packages?
by Sven-Hendrik Haase 13 Jan '18

13 Jan '18

The gnustep-* packages are currently orphaned. Only oolite depends on it but I don't really care much about either. Does anyone want to maintain the gnustep packages? If I don't hear anything until the end of the month, I'll drop them as well as oolite to the AUR.

[aur-general] aurjson - Adding groups to the infos of a search
by Ricardo Band 02 Jan '18

02 Jan '18

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 Ahoi, I'm building a AUR wrapper and I would like to display the package groups next to the search results when someone searches for a package like pacman does it for official repos. In the wiki [1] it says that the output of the aur rpc is just a list of info request outputs. But when I'm doing a search [2] I don't get the extra info I get with a info request [3]. What I would need is the "Groups" info. Could this be added to the list of elements that a normal search returns? It would speed up my wrapper alot. Atm I'm doing info requests for every single package that I get in the search request and I really don't like that. :/ [1]: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AurJson#search_2 [2]: https://aur.archlinux.org/rpc/?v=5&type=search&by=name-desc&arg=unrealtourn… [3]: https://aur.archlinux.org/rpc/?v=5&type=info&arg[]=unrealtournament - -- Greetings Ricardo Band https:// www.ricardo.band mailto:// email(a)ricardo.band -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAEBCgAdFiEEhyzgFNiV8yZuI1T5Gp1lfQa1gg4FAlo/AMsACgkQGp1lfQa1 gg4XJw//RaLlxBGfG9cYTMguWJhx6CPOQkSJrT6FJ4is1GnW1WZSgCtMu559N39w PqM/SxFODD58gZYlR9k31wwjoUFb/PujBVF8BDx0ulT5s2d+b45HM2kQkpAUnp66 7T8ww1v/PNcce6rA9wu3jZK64zdDxC8OF3+KJ+HOejCDwGmzBAf70o0rYHQZ5JHW +k//QebFpZmk7uegGTeCHZqX9RmrGfZBUHdtbUrVpijwOmU+qRSmT9e2DXtxvZjE 6hRcVX9MsOuxgjjXvMD37MVKO5ANSuzVOF0vwrbnoi7bh0qcV6iFyn5Ck9aiIn/t EhzCdr7FNlK5/cBMvEBfBvguOFebkckvXj1tO4v3oXOIdvF84U0BU07nZlMOefnp pT8cJICookjlToLj1xNyagKs+h7YYTBJdWLIA3AWzHR+r9k/Eyb3eqRMavGTABVz eq3a/S2umhuzYKEFu51mYnm1ws64Rc2/lDGj/O/Nv8BVZPG8xPHZNh7LzbhrLqcq jmGqoxyAvlDAOo2PHaZvU8gCp0PGlmsmpyTOJhqIQ1g73u0tRreM+qiFekOAy8V9 jNQmTQcZPA+Tp2+nBByo8ba0A5wLkf6ONKYzX8i7tOnSMBILdkmonbb3/zzDpKoY Ni+uVSrmFQnmGMcvNZHfp9JZ7+xZ8FPGmLqOsGIjNa5ibvbT6ac= =kpHV -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
