[aur-general] plz orphan perl-uri-find
by Caleb Cushing 12 Feb '10

12 Feb '10

or contact the author... I was able to get a hold of him about a month ago... he said he'd lost his password to aur and couldn't find a reset. I suggested that he contact on here. seems he still owns the package and hasn't updated it so I assume he didn't do that (I'm just joining the list now). I'd say just orphaning it will work. -- Caleb Cushing http://xenoterracide.blogspot.com

[aur-general] shaman
by Allan McRae 12 Feb '10

12 Feb '10

Any TU want to continue maintaining aqpm+shaman in [community]? At least aqpm needs updating and both need rebuilt for the latest qt/polkit-qt. Shaman may need updating but the upstream versioning is strange so I have no idea if that is a beta release or not... I do not have anything Qt based on my system and do not feel motivated to download it to continue maintaining this package myself. At the moment it does not need kdelibs, but in the future this will become mandatory. Again, a dependency I do not wish to download. If I have no response by tomorrow, I will move it to the AUR.

[aur-general] Bug in perl-text-bibtext build script for x86_64 platform
by Ted Pavlic 11 Feb '10

11 Feb '10

AUR -- I've sent a message to the package maintainer about this, but it has been a while since there has been an update, and so I wanted to send something here too for comment and archival purposes. At the moment, the perl-text-bibtex package fails on x86_64 systems because it tries to link libraries built without -fPIC to object files built with -fPIC. On x86_64 machines, when building the perl-text-bibtex package, it is necessary to add: -fPIC to the btparse compiler flags before running "make". That is, the PKGBUILD should... (1) Download Text::BibTeX from CPAN (2) Run "perl Makefile.PL", which will fetch a btparse distribution and untar it into a directory that it symlinks to "btparse" (3) Change to "btparse" and add "-fPIC" to CFLAGS, CPPFLAGS, and CXXFLAGS in the Makefile and src/Makefile files (4) Change back to the Text::BibTeX root and run "make" Otherwise, the linker will complain because the Perl libraries will be built with -fPIC and the btparse libraries will not be... so they'll be incompatible for linking. ALTERNATIVELY, the PKGBUILD could... (1) Download a btparse distribution and untar it into directory "A" (creating "A/btparse-0.35/") (2) Modify A/btparse-0.35/Makefile and A/btparse-0.35/src/Makefile as described above (3) Download the Text::BibTeX distribution from CPAN and also untar it into directory "A" (creating A/Text-BibTeX-0.38/") (4) complete the Text::BibTeX installation as usual (it will find the btparse distribution that shares a parent directory with it) Otherwise, perl-text-bibtex fails to build on x86_64 systems. --Ted

[aur-general] Packages for adoption
by Allan McRae 11 Feb '10

11 Feb '10

Here is a list of packages I no longer wish to maintain in [community]. They all hardly ever need updating, apart from winetricks. If no-one adopts them in the next few days, then they will be dropped to the AUR. I do not think I need to orphan the packages for others to adopt them, but let me know if I do. gimmix (+libnxml) gnome-cups-manager gnome-subtitles gnomebaker gwget mozplugger pida pyenchant (needs renamed) python-pyalsaaudio python-sexy supertuxkart winetricks wine_gecko xfce4-places-plugin Also, I have orphaned plib which is required by simgear (maintained by Sergey) Allan

[aur-general] attention to pidgin-facebookchat users
by Ionut Biru 11 Feb '10

11 Feb '10

Hi, I’m going to remove this package from community and move it to aur because Facebook now has support for XMPP, along with it also is moved json-glib. Severals links that you may be interested: * http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pidgin#Facebook_XMPP * http://blog.facebook.com/blog.php?post=297991732130 -- Ionut

This package is obsolete. The default nltk installation (package python-nltk) now requires yaml as a dependency instead of bundling it.

[aur-general] package removal request - gelato
by Lukáš Jirkovský 09 Feb '10

09 Feb '10

Can anyone remove my package gelato [0]? nVidia stopped development about two years ago and now the download become unavailable. Damn I loved that software. It had the fastest image viewer I've ever seen, which was able to display HDR image in seconds on my 9 years old computer. [0] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=7711
