Hello all. I'm using Arch for about 1 year. I helped Arch community by providing PKGBUILDS and helping on forum. I want to introduce me. My name is Patrick, I'm from the Poland I am working with computers for long time (12 years). Now I'm maintraining 14 packages on AUR in unsupported repo. List of them dwm-git 20090813-1 unsupported devel glib2-newest 2.21.6-1 unsupported system grub2-git 29072009-1 unsupported x11 inputproto-git 1.9.99.902-1 unsupported kernels kernel26-bfs 2.6.31-1 unsupported lib libsoup-git 20090920-1 1 unsupported lib libx11-git 1.2.99.901-1 unsupported modules nvidia-bfs-beta 190.32-1 unsupported x11 renderproto-git 0.11-1 unsupported x11 xextproto-git 7.0.99.3-1 unsupported x11 xf86-input-keyboard-git 20080809-1 unsupported x11 xf86-input-mouse-git 20080808-1 unsupported x11 xorg-server-git 20090529-1 unsupported x11 xorg-xinit-git 20080807-1 Some of them are based on PKGBUILD provieded by ABS and some are based on packages in AUR , and some are builded myself. I am programming in Python and C++ ;) Now that I've introduced myself I'm looking for someone who wants to sponsor me (if any). Please feel free to ask any questions I do not have answered yet. Thanks for reading this ;)

[aur-general] Package removal
by Anton Bazhenov 22 Sep '09

22 Sep '09

Several packages that are unlikely needed... wildmagic - http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=7574 There is a "wildmagic4" package in AUR, so I think this old version may be deleted. soqt - http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=7538 soqt3 - http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=7602 It is identical packages: "soqt" is orphan, but updated in Jun 2009 and it needs for freecad; last update of "soqt3" - Nov 2006 and it doesn't needed for anything. lapack-gcc3 - http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=7378 This package is orphan and last updated at Jul 2007. And there is a new lapack package in Extra repository.

[aur-general] Some packages to consider deleting...
by Smartboy 21 Sep '09

21 Sep '09

I went through parts of AUR today intending to find some packages which could be deleted for various reasons. Here is what I got: audacious-beta <http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=26394>, audacious-plugins-beta <http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=26395>: Its an old, unmaintained version of Audacious. The version in the repos is 2 minor versions ahead of this one. I think it can safely be removed without hurting anything. bang <http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=15238>: This hasn't been maintained upstream for a while, and doesn't even build anymore. There is always Ecomorph, which is somewhat more maintained upstream. beryl-bmenu, beryl-desktopclick, beryl-screensaver: Beryl isn't available for Arch anymore, and hasn't been developed for over 2 years now. These can be removed. cairo-newspr <http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=16587>: Gentoo isn't even using the patches anymore, and the maintainer abandoned it. I see no reason for this package to stick around. catalyst-vanilla <http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=24451>: Old, unmaintained, a duplicate of the catalyst pkgbuild, and the old maintainer even asked for it to be deleted in the comments. Those should be reason enough to delete this PKGBUILD. ejourn <http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=2772>: Project page is down, with the program innacessable. Package hasn't been updated in 3 years. It should be deleted. enna-cvs <http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=14653>: e17 switched to svn long ago. This should be deleted. php4-gtk <http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=730>: This is for php version 4, which isn't available in arch. Hasn't been updated in years. qtpoveditor <http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=2719>: Doesn't work anymore, and isn't supported either. rstatd <http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=2557>: Doesn't work anymore, program itself last updated in 2005. Hope this helps make AUR just a little bit cleaner. ;) Smartboy

[aur-general] Package removal: libatasmart-git
by Michael Kanis 21 Sep '09

21 Sep '09

Hi, I created the libatasmart-git package some time ago as a dependency for my devicekit-disks package because there was no official release of it. However now there is and there's also a package in AUR, so there is no real use for libatasmart-git anymore. Could you please delete it? Greets Michael

[aur-general] python-fuse
by Xyne 21 Sep '09

21 Sep '09

Hi, python-fuse needs to be rebuilt against the latest fuse package due to linking errors (no PKGBUILD changes necessary). I would do this myself but I'm trying to track down an error in my toolchain that's preventing my packages from getting synced (I may have just fixed it but I'm waiting for the mirrors to see). Does anyone feel like rebuilding python-fuse? It builds quickly and is only about 170 K to upload. Thanks. /Xyne

[aur-general] Is dev.archlinux.org browser dependent?
by Stefan Husmann 21 Sep '09

21 Sep '09

Hello TUs, I finally managed to enter dev.archlinux.org to adopt some packages in [community]. I had to install opera to do so. I tried firefox, conkeror and midori, but all of them did not give me a login form but a message about an untrusted site. So my question is: Are there any settings I have to apply (using about:config or the like)? I would like to get rid of opera if I can. Hints? Regards Stefan

[aur-general] gigolo to be an orphan
by JM 19 Sep '09

19 Sep '09

Hello, I am considering orphaning gigolo [1] for I no longer use it. It has 41 votes in aur so I though perhaps someone would like to take it to community? Regards, JM [1] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=24252
