[aur-general] Orphaning request for go-openoffice-sv
by Adam Hani Schakaki 24 Apr '10

24 Apr '10

Hello, would someone please orphan go-openoffice-sv (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=28124) since it is outdated for a while and I get no response from the maintainer. I've created a few month ago go-openoffice-sv-lang (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=33977) with the latest version, so I would move mine to go-openoffice-sv if it's ok. Thanks in advance Adam Hani Schakaki

[aur-general] TU application: Jan Steffens
by Jan Steffens 24 Apr '10

24 Apr '10

Greetings, My name is Jan Alexander Steffens and I'm a 22 year old CS student living in Karlsruhe, Germany. I've been introduced to Linux in high school, where the administration team (which mainly consisted of students) were avid supporters of free software. Since then, I went through quite a few distributions: SuSE, Mandrake, Fedora, Ubuntu, Debian. Gentoo was the first distribution that got me interested in getting to know the internals a bit more. About a year ago, a fellow CS student introduced me to Arch. After I blew up my Fedora installation (accidentally wrote to /dev/root), I chose to give Arch a try. I got hooked. Its simplicity really makes it a joy to tinker with. :) Especially creating packages and offering them to others (AUR) is something Arch made easy. I currently run two Arch systems, one on my laptop and one on a headless box mainly acting as a router. Both are getting packages from [testing]. Arch is the first distribution I actually started contributing back to. I began frequenting the Archlinux channels on Freenode, now and then helping out others and asking my own questions. I reported bugs I found, and I uploaded and maintain 15 packages in the AUR [1]. I use Pulseaudio on my laptop: Some of my packages in the AUR center on it, and I gave the wiki page on Pulseaudio an overhaul. I'm interested in taking over maintenance of the pulseaudio packages in [community] and improve Pulseaudio on Arch Linux. A few days ago, I finally got up the nerve to write about my gripes with the gvim package and propose a solution [2]. I was overwhelmed with the positive response. Now Dan Griffiths approached me and offered to sponsor my application as a TU. Thank you, Dan. I hope I'm getting accepted as TU and we can work together on improving this great distribution. :-) Regards, Jan "heftig" Steffens 1: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?SeB=m&K=heftig 2: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/19087

[aur-general] Orphan request
by Christoffer Hirth 24 Apr '10

Could someone please orphan pure-ftpd-mysql? (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=26022) since it is outdated and i dont get any reply from the maintainer by mail. Someone should also consider removing pure-ftpd-tls (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=25531) since it is even older, and it is not needed now that pure-ftpd from [extra] is built with tls. Christoffer Hirth NB: I sent a request a few days ago, but tried once more now providing links :)

[aur-general] Package removal request
by Lukáš Jirkovský 23 Apr '10

23 Apr '10

Hello, can anyone delete my package widelands-svn [1]? Development moved to bazaar quite some time ago (I think the widelands-svn is even older than stable widelands). Currently there is no widelands-bzr on AUR and I don't intend to do it but I thing removal of this really old package could force others to do this job.

[aur-general] installing files for a specific user
by Philipp 23 Apr '10

23 Apr '10

Hi, I wonder whether it's possible to install files for a user automatically. Sometimes it would be appropriate to create user specific files instead of or in addition to the system wide files. I wonder whether this is possible and how. I guess it would at least require a post-install hook in the install file but that's as far as my guess goes. Thanks, Philipp

[aur-general] [lablgtk2] Package error - please delete!
by Newtack Design 22 Apr '10

22 Apr '10

Hi all, Sincere apologies, I packaged a modified version of lablgtk2 and submitted it to AUR, without realizing the policy on naming. I've orphaned it, could someone please delete it? I've submitted a bug against lablgtk2 to change the compile options (as an aside, the extra version is broken right now anyway), and if that doesn't come through I'll resubmit as something like lablgtk2-opt (includes the optimized machine code objects of the library as well). Many thanks, and sorry for the inconvenience! --G
