[aur-general] TU Application
by Angel Velásquez 12 Oct '09

12 Oct '09

Hi all, I'd like to re-apply to my TU position. Since I've resigned [0], many things happened, in my life, and work. In these times I was very dissapointed about myself, cause I was having problems to handle my life, my projects, and of course, Arch, then I decided to go on with less workload at least. Now, I have free time again to dedicate it to the community and the project, and my goals this time are more specific from my first application [1], this time I'd like to: a) Improve and support the python and haskell scene since I am enthusiastic of these languages b) To help others TU, or Devs (with the permission of them), to reduce their loads on community doing tests, maintaining, updating or just simply building their packages in the differents architectures (I have i686 and x86_64 but now I am using x86_64) c) Report, and close bugs from me and others TU or Devs (away or with highly load), of course with the permission of them. d) Maintain and collaborate with the Arch Project in general, writting in the wiki, random coding, etc. I talked with Evangelos Foutras a.k.a foutrelis to ask him if he would like to be my sponsor, and he accepted, so since I knew many of you when I was a TU, I hope you will recognize my skills and my dedication on this project, and even when I wasn't active (as a TU) I ever tried to be helping with the distro, and I always try to do my best overall. Sincerely.

[aur-general] Duplicate packages
by Vojtech Horky 12 Oct '09

12 Oct '09

Hi, I found that there are two packages providing the same program(s): * gcu (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=21896) * gnome-chemistry-utils (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=24793) Could one of the TUs, please, delete one of them (IMHO gcu is packaged better)? Thanks - Vojta

To be honest I don't actually use the software actively, and I wouldn't know where to begin with selecting how/if it should be patched. Maybe another TU would like to take over the package from me?

[aur-general] Small regexp to update md5 in PKGBUILD
by Sergej Pupykin 09 Oct '09

09 Oct '09

Hi, This script updates or inserts md5sum just run this script in PKGBUILDs dir. It works for my packages at least) It is better than makepkg -g >>PKGBUILD because it inserts md5 just before build() function.

Hi, rubyroom hasn't been updated (submitted) since 19 Nov 2008. I e-mailed the maintainer almost two months ago and have not got any reply. If the package is disowned, I can fix it. I have the PKGBUILD ready. Thanks, Alexander Rødseth
