[aur-general] Package removal request (emesene-crazy)
by Rene Pärts 05 Jan '10

05 Jan '10

Hi. There isn't such thing as emesene-crazy anymore and this package should be deleted. crazy was a temporary version before emesene 1.5 and it is abandoned now. The maintainer haven't responded for months and AUR should be clean. url: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=24837 Thanks and bye, Rene

[aur-general] Orphan request
by Lex "x-demon" Rivera 05 Jan '10

05 Jan '10

Hi, i'm asking to orphan qutim-svn package, because maintainer adopted it and doesn't updated it since 02 december, and current status of pkgbuild is broken. I also tried writing to Ljukee's email but he hasn't responded. Best regards, Lex "x-demon" Rivera || ICQ 625558 | Jabber x-demon(a)x-demon.org | http://x-demon.org ||

[aur-general] Deletion request: zsh-netcfg
by Thomas Jost 04 Jan '10

04 Jan '10

Hi there, My zsh completion script for netcfg is now included in netcfg 2.5.0rc2-1 (available in [testing]), making my zsh-netcfg package (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=22300) useless. Could a TU please delete it? Or maybe we should wait for netcfg 2.5 to hit the [core] repo? Thanks in advance, and happy new year :) -- Thomas/Schnouki

[aur-general] metadata file/database of AUR?
by Dieter Plaetinck 03 Jan '10

03 Jan '10

just wondering. afaik tools such as yaourt, when you search a package, they will search for http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?K=<packagename> and parse the output, right? wouldn't it make sense to have a daily crontab on the aur server that generates a file which contains all packages (maybe along with their description) ? then users can do local searches instead.

[aur-general] Deletion recommendation bashets-rc
by Profjim 30 Dec '09

30 Dec '09

Looking at the PKGBUILDS, the (orphaned) AUR package bashets-rc seems to be an older version of the package bashets, maintained by zhuravlik. I suspect he originally posted it, but I can't see how to email him. Looks to me like it would be appropriate to delete bashets-rc. -- Profjim profjim(a)jimpryor.net

[aur-general] Package voting alternatives
by Sebastian Nowicki 29 Dec '09

29 Dec '09

Hi, I believe this was discussed on aur-dev some years ago, but it seems that discussion was lost (no longer in archives). I'd like to bring up the subject again. What do you think the best way to indicate package popularity is? The two main ideas were votes (the current implementation) and a download counter. I can't really recall which one was preferred. The issue has been raised because we're deciding which to use in "AUR2", as a patch has been submitted to implement votes. I'd like to know if voting works, how effective it is, and how much significance it has on a TU's decision to put a package into community. Basically whether it's "broken" and needs to be "fixed" or if it's fine the way it is. P.S. I didn't send this to aur-dev as it doesn't really concern the developers. It's an end-user feature, and mostly a feature for TUs, so I posted here.
