[aur-general] Xmonad PKGBUILD improvement
by jelle van der waa 22 Oct '09

22 Oct '09

Hi, I would like the to help the state of the xmonad package in community, currently xmonad depends on ghc , libhaskel-x11 that's correct but if haskell-x11 or ghc get's updated before it's rebuild against this new dependencies, it might break. To fix that issue the pkgbuild could be changed so xmonad would depend on haskel-x11='version' and ghc='version' . Secondly it would also cover an out of date mirror wich could lead to 'breakage'. Here is an example of a related bugreport because haskel-x11 was updated before a rebuild of xmonad: -FS#16606 - xmonad/xmonad-contrib depend on nonexistent haskell-x11 Jelle van der Waa

[aur-general] should be esound an optdepends?
by Andrea Scarpino 20 Oct '09

20 Oct '09

>From FS#16502: With GNOME 2.28 arriving, it's time to make esound an optional package, which is currently not the case. Here is the list of the packages which requires esound. I think for all of them that esound should be an optional dependency (except maybe enlightenment?). * bmp * cinelerra-cv * enlightenment * epplet-base * freeciv * gmerlin * gstreamer0.10-good-plugins * kvirc * kvm * libgnome * qemu * vice * xine-lib * xmms What's our decision about this? -- Andrea `bash` Scarpino Arch Linux Developer

>From my comment in AUR : " But I am not sure this pkgbuild is needed after all.
