by Hubert Grzeskowiak 27 Apr '10

27 Apr '10

Hi, please disown the package tinyxml. link: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=1155 Reasons: - package is out of date for some time now -- last update was Fri, 08 Feb 2008 -- maintainer doesn't repond to comments -- most of his packages are out of date, btw: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?K=big_gie&SeB=m - the PKGBUILD mentions another maintainer, who isn't really active anymore (no time) and the contributor mentioned in the PKGBUILD doesn't reply to emails - the PKGBUILD includes a few minor faults (typo in description; bash regex in source url) Have a nice day Hubert Grzeskowiak (Nemesis#13)

[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Hello, would someone please orphan go-openoffice-sv (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=28124) since it is outdated for a while and I get no response from the maintainer.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
