[aur-general] Going to submit my first AUR package dvtm-git
by garfiield 19 Dec '09

19 Dec '09

Hello! Like the subject says, I am going to submit my first AUR package dvtm-git [1]. But before I do that I would like to get some questions answered. Questions: Although dvtm [2] in AUR has the description "Dynamic virtual terminal manager", I have chosen "Tiling window management for the console" as the description of my package. My reason for choosing this description is that _I think_ it is more descriptive than just giving the meaning of the abbreviation "dvtm" (like the dvtm package does). * Should I go with my own description of the package or use the same description as the dvtm package? (Maybe add some information to inform that the source is a Git repository?) * What other improvements should or can I do to the package? Best regards, garfiield PS. Does it build on a x86_64 machine? (I have not tested, but since dvtm [2] does I assume this one also does.) -- [1] http://git.garfiield.net/?p=pkgbuilds.git;a=tree;f=dvtm-git;h=a72a63e314698… http://git.garfiield.net/?p=pkgbuilds.git;a=snapshot;h=a72a63e31469809242c0… git://git.garfiield.net/pkgbuilds.git [2] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=14182

[aur-general] perl-rename and prename
by Ranguvar 19 Dec '09

19 Dec '09

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 Hello, Still a little new to TU work :) There are two packages, 'perl-rename' and 'prename'. Both provide the same software. 'prename' is out-of-date and orphaned, but IMO has a nicer name, and is much more well-known (votes). 'perl-rename' is lesser known, but maintained and up-to-date. I'm thinking I should advise the 'perl-rename' maintainer to take over 'prename' with their PKGBUILD, and then delete 'perl-rename', does anyone not agree? Thanks! -- Ranguvar [Devin Cofer] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.13 (GNU/Linux) iQIcBAEBCgAGBQJLJcGiAAoJEHdXKOHe3MUTej0P/0amLrZP9I7QvPrthgSlfjlc tbWTr3wRzc+tE7nszpemWX8w1mgM2Ln4St3/8RQqXBlhFPX1hQF6gLT1n6bvMr05 U/iupcb8qgBVfy1SXI6uX5luoh7nZxtBv9ZU6ayvdFNymD3pkCPZ+yYQpO7ZQghZ DEugkX1EUBkS0oZTQjyyNZ8HTFXi+8/NI4sbsNmuwb7vvehAPuKpaArIJ+Fz5d+n Ydt47pjmOXPoC2sXqYm5RJRe5H9ZysAf2Byc0gJCSbn4XXmuIMehBIpBl7ggYufU rMZsPlY8n3fxlIlhzeoUC+EK4MhPysXcuYdWlkyn4CCEZSq1ALNQWirZbO0482Fq cmAIEzyOaB/RXDuxCuCLT0MBZ0aEznpCFNM5c9FudPXyk26grnxax+rIbvi1obhU bXBTVfu3UNI0YcPVwusgCdypA/UleHF8idihTcCVuWBEFMR4w3plP/DvL/hOhJZf Dwe4ex/TNSRc1vtXgtEBBVIxjaAC745GjlbiOd+pGg69tai57JL0ZyM2OdVIWWc8 S8cJ8LhDIAwxnlGmknu46KF59h4ZQSxAexJ84JBpQEHuypn2uVNcSEiVI0Nju59v 5kwR6z6PsdxGa+V3wDb2+O6IgT6G9qCtWrN9gog4905StG0xZJlFlAj7nxiGgQVW PkivYghw0vcNirqD7SMG =Ygln -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

[aur-general] Deletion request - django extensions
by Reqamst 19 Dec '09

19 Dec '09

There are two packages refering to "Django Command Extensions"[1] in AUR: "django-extensions"[2] and "django-command-extensions"[3]. I think "django-command-extensions" is more accurate.

[aur-general] Request to remove kdeplasma-atheist-quote
by Final Crisis 14 Dec '09

14 Dec '09

Hello, First and foremost, sorry if this isn't the right place or way to do this, as I've never done it before, but I recall someone suggesting getting it done this way. I would like to have kdeplasma-atheist-quote removed from AUR, which I had submitted a while ago under the false impression that the package worked. It "worked" on my computer as well as a friend's because we had manually installed and uninstalled it as non-root users once before and it likely kept in cache or something of the sort despite the uninstall. It "works" there, but it doesn't work on new machines (btw I wasn't aware he'd had the plasmoid installed once before I asked him to test the package). I never figured out how to fix it because it's not made the same way pretty much every other plasmoid is [it's lose javascript files or some such, no cmake stuff will do afaik], and it's been orphaned n broken for a LONG time, so it should be removed.
