[aur-general] Removal Request
by Dwayne Bent 15 Feb '10

15 Feb '10

Can someone please remove the following packages from the AUR: lighttpd-sni <http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=27677> no longer needed as the new version of lighttpd includes the patch. lua-zlib <http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=32246> it was re-uploaded as lua-zlib-git, since it's actually a git package since no source releases are available. Thanks. -- Dwayne Bent

[aur-general] Deletion request
by Jared Casper 15 Feb '10

15 Feb '10

Please delete geda-libs and geda-suite from AUR. These were replaced with geda-gaf when they released 1.6.0 upstream, which combined everything into one tarball. It's now on 1.6.1 so probably time to delete the old packages. :) http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=7481 http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=7482 Jared Casper

[aur-general] Maintainer for virtualbox_bin still wanted
by Paulo Matias 15 Feb '10

15 Feb '10

Hi, Nobody has still adopted the virtualbox_bin package in AUR since my resignation, when I said I was looking for the next maintainer for this package. Does any TU has interest in maintaing this package? You already know, this is one of the most voted packages in AUR, but can't go to community due to licensing (redistribution) restrictions. If any TU wants to maintain it, please just take it from me until tomorrow. If nobody adopts it until tomorrow, I will look for a non-TU maintainer. Best regards, Paulo Matias

[aur-general] Removal request: fofix
by doorknob60 15 Feb '10

15 Feb '10

Someone made a package called fofix because my package (fretsonfire-alarian-mod) was out of date. I incorporated the changes into my package and he has now orphaned fofix, so it's no longer needed.

[aur-general] [signoff] devtools 0.9.0
by Pierre Schmitz 14 Feb '10

14 Feb '10

Hi TUs and DEVs, I just packaged a new set of devtools today. I'll put it into testing first; so please give it a try and let me know if there are any problems. And of course I'd appreciate if you could also drop a line if everything works as expected. A warning for those who use makechrootpkg: the rw and union subdirs are no longer used and cannot be used with the new tools. Aufs is no longer needed. For details see http://projects.archlinux.org/devtools.git/log/ The most noticeable changes are: Use the host's SRCDEST and PKGDEST if defined Reset umask before touching the chroot. make sure all files are owned by nobody before building Move build and package logs to WORKDIR, otherwise it is lost Create a working copy instead of using an union layer Read pacman cache dir from pacman.conf or cli Reduce verbosity to a sane minimum simplify and optimize upload process Replace expensive merge with delete and copy Add missing -n option to getopt list for mkarchroot abort if not all local source files are under version control Greetings, Pierre -- Pierre Schmitz, https://users.archlinux.de/~pierre

[aur-general] decrease package workload in [community]
by Ronald van Haren 12 Feb '10

12 Feb '10

Hi TUs, I'd like to drop some/most of my packages in [community] to some of you guys so I can focus more on packages in [core] and [extra], and maybe do some coding when I find time. For now I'll keep maintaining them as most of these belong in a binary repo (though some I don't mind dropping to unsupported), so let's see where this gets us. Just shoot or simply take something you're interested in. Some packages need to be taken as group, but that seems fairly obvious. Ronald
