[aur-general] snd-gtk-jack
by Andrew Antle 13 Mar '10

13 Mar '10

Hello - There is a package named [snd-ls](http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=15580) which is orphaned and quite out of date. I would like to adopt it and update it with the following PKGBUILD: --- # Maintainer: Andrew Antle <andrew dot antle at gmail dot com> pkgname=snd-gtk-jack _pkgname=snd pkgver=11.3 pkgrel=1 pkgdesc="A sound editor, with GTK+ and JACK enabled" arch=('i686' 'x86_64') license=('custom') depends=('fftw' 'gamin' 'gsl' 'gtk2' 'jack' 'ladspa') url="http://ccrma.stanford.edu/software/snd/" source=(ftp://ccrma-ftp.stanford.edu/pub/Lisp/$_pkgname-$pkgver.tar.gz) md5sums=('71168f92e77a14f80c6bcf5c1dd3df26') build() { cd $srcdir/$_pkgname-$pkgver ./configure --prefix=/usr --with-gtk --with-jack make || return 1 make prefix=$pkgdir/usr install rm -f $pkgdir/usr/share/$_pkgname/*.{fs,rb} install -D -m 644 COPYING $pkgdir/usr/share/licenses/$pkgname/LICENSE } --- Do I need a TU to change the name of the package, and then I'll adopt it and update it? Or should I just upload my PKGBUILD and ask for the old, orphaned one to be deleted? P.S. The manpage is being installed -rwx-r-x-r-x, but in the tarball it's -rw-r--r--. How can I fix this? Should I chmod it at the end of build()? Thanks, -- Andrew Antle <andrew dot antle at gmail dot com>

[aur-general] orphan request midisport-firmware 1.2-1
by masutu Subric 12 Mar '10

12 Mar '10

Hi TUs, could one of you please orphan the package midisport-firmware 1.2-1 http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=25765? I emailed the maintaining user about 10 days ago, but did not get an answer yet. Version is not out of date, but i'd like to adopt this package for several reason: -sources need to be patched, use of outdated udev command; does not compile without patch -PKGBUILD does not contain a valid source string -maintainer mail address in PKGBUILD is no more valid (mail account deleted) -source udev.rules do not work -i like my little midisport box so much :) All the changes i'd like to add to the PKGBUILD were already mentioned in other user's comments. Best Regards, masutu

[aur-general] I think I need my package removed from AUR...
by kosmici-atakuja＠wp.pl 10 Mar '10

Hello, I made a package containing the run-mailcap script that is required for sup mail to run properly. Beforehand I checked with pkgfile if run-mailcap is available anywhere in Arch repos and AUR and it said it wasn't. So I made the package and upload it to AUR to make life simple for sup mail users. However, turns out run-mailcap is a part of the mime-support package as it was pointed out to me in the forums. So now there's no point in making a separate run-mailcap I think... If you feel it should be deleted, please delete it, it's here: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=35334 The only reason I can think of for having a separate run-mailcap package is for users that are minimalists - since they only need this one script, not the whole package for sup. Thank you Piotr -- Piotr Kempa

[aur-general] TU resignation
by bardo 10 Mar '10

10 Mar '10

It's with great sadness that I feel the need to leave my position as a Trusted User in Arch. In the last few months I haven't been able to keep up with my duties, and I feel that resigning is the best thing I can do at the moment, since real life is taking much more time than there is in a day and I can't keep up with the high standards that Arch deserves. I'd like to thank each and everyone at the Arch team, this has been a fun ride and I learned a lot in these years. Hopefully I'll be back contributing someday, maybe not in the same way, but whatever. Surely I'll stick around, however, as much as my free time allows me. At the moment I own a few dozens of packages in [community], and since I'd like to make the transition as smooth as possible, a little report follows, I marked as OOD the ones which need to be updated, adopt the ones you like. I hope this is helpful. Take care, Corrado = AVR packages = The AVR family is badly in need of some love. The wonderful djgera did all the grunt work (see http://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/aur-general/2010-March/008369.html) now someone just has to take these little guys and update them. As with every toolchain, though, there's quite a bit to catch up with, and a whole lot to learn. Not for the faint of heart. * avrdude (OOD) * avr-libc (OOD) * binutils-avr (OOD) * gcc-avr (OOD) = PulseAudio & friends = These are really popular and still hope to go in [extra], because a lot of [extra] software could depend on them. The pulseaudio PKGBUILD needs some time to become friends with, not mentioning the package configuration, but if you stick to "stable" releases and refuse to patch the hell out of it as its author does in RedHat, you'll be fine. One open bug: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/18527 * pulseaudio * gstreamer0.10-pulse * libao-pulse * libasyncns * padevchooser * paman * paprefs * pavucontrol * pavumeter * rtkit * xmms-pulse = Eclipse Plug-Ins = Mostly low-maintenance packages, they usually just need a relbump thanks to my super-unreadably-duper-perfectly-working PKGBUILDs. * eclipse-emf: needs to be ported to -any * eclipse-gef (OOD) * eclipse-mylyn (OOD) * eclipse-phpeclipse * eclipse-subclipse (OOD) * eclipse-ve = {G,W}ammu = A couple of programs to manage cell phones. Not always the easiest of builds but it's been stable for quite some time now. * gammu * wammu = Gmusicbrowser = My favorite music player, a tricky PKGBUILD (read: do everything by hand) but the developer is very friendly and helpful, and incredibly fast to reply. Optdepends hell. * gmusicbrowser * flac123 * perl-gstreamer * perl-gstreamer-interfaces (OOD) * perl-gtk2-mozembed = Musepack = Upstream releases are rare and not exactly packager-friendly. * musepack-tools * libcuefile * libreplaygain = Beast = Hasn't seen a release in ages, but it returned active upstream a few months ago. Usually needs patches. * beast * bse-alsa = Other = * acerhk: small kernel module, i686-only, no new releases, hassle free, just relbump * freemind: unvaluable mind-mapper, still waiting for the much anticipated 0.9.0, which will most likely arrive with Godot. Easy. * gnormalize: how to kill the unix do-one-thing-n-do-it-well paradigm in one shot. Optdepends hell #2 * gourmet (OOD): a recipe manager. Not that I can cook. * mldonkey: a p2p app for the edonkey network, gave me a few head scratches for the rc script. * opcion: a nice font viewer written in java, unmaintained but working very well. * rss-glx: 3d screen-savers, usually gives a few problems with .desktop files. See http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/18300 * scite (OOD): small text editor with some nice features, could be more friendly. * solfege (OOD): piece of cake! Frequent point releases, the development branch is stable, but I don't remember why I switched to it back in the day. * stress (OOD): small unix utility, clean and easy. * timidity-freepats: hasn't seen a release in ages and probably will be around forever. Zero maintenance, nice to have in repos. Could be ported to -any. * vlock: small unix utility, clean and easy. * wavegain: small util, optdepend for gnormalize * xsensors (OOD): X11 sensor viewing util
