Please orhpan "libinklevel" [1]. It's marked as out-of-date, and there is a pkgbuild for the latest version in comments, but maintainer doesn't respond. This package is required by "ink" which I want to update. [1] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=23757

Hi folks, I'd like to contribute more to Arch. Currently, I have two packages I maintain in AUR. But is there more I can do? I can provide a resume, etc. for review too if that is required. Thanks, Farhan

[aur-general] Should {libwebkit,libsoup}-newest be deleted
by Nezmer＠allurelinux.org 13 Oct '09

13 Oct '09

hi, As you might already know , webkit-gtk and its dependency libsoup are always under heavy development . I added {libwebkit,libsoup}-newest PKGBUILDS to the AUR because libwebkit releases started to depend on development releases from libsoup(2.27.x) . With gnome 2.28.x entering extra , the *-newest packages provide the same versions available in the official repos. Should I ask for the deletion of those packages ? Or keep them around in case webkit starts to depend on libsoup 2.29.x ?

[aur-general] AUR "Jamie" account
by Xyne 13 Oct '09

13 Oct '09

A user by the name of "Jamie" on the forum wants an AUR account with the same name: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=81872 The problem is that the account is already taken but whoever owns it has never used it to upload a package or vote. If it were up to me alone, I would try to contact the owner of the account and either request that (s)he give it up if I get a response or simply switch it over otherwise. My reasoning is that it makes more sense to have the same name on the forum and the AUR (and everything else with a separate account) because it makes it easy to know who's who, which has implications for the AUR. What do the other TUs (and interested devs) think? I think this is a rare enough event to not have to worry about a flood of requests to grab matching names on the AUR. Btw, in case you're wondering, Jamie tried to post a message to the list following my suggestion on the forum but it apparently didn't get through so he asked me to do it, hence this message. Regards, Xyne
