[aur-general] license convention for public domain packages
by Abhishek Dasgupta 22 Aug '09

22 Aug '09

There are widely varying methods for specifying the license of a public domain package in Arch Linux. We should standardise and use one of them. Some packages use - 'Public Domain' (unclutter, python-webpy) - 'PD' (ttf-mph-2b-damase) - I think some packages might also be using 'none'. I saw one package using 'custom:public' (shuffle) Also, there is the question of whether we should have public domain declarations for each package in /usr/share/licenses or put a public domain declaration in /usr/share/licenses/common and refer to that. -- Abhishek

[aur-general] timer-applet orphan request
by Christian Scharkus 22 Aug '09

22 Aug '09

Hi. I wrote a mail to the maintainer of the timer-applet PKGBUILD in AUR back in May and didn't get an answer by now. So it would be nice to orphan the package so I can correct the mistake myself. Thank You Christian Scharkus

This is not fully complete, but I will point you to this list > when I send the password. The reason it is a private list is that "out > of date" notifications contain private email addresses, and we don't > want them indexed. All the people who have sent me their info now have accounts on the main dev site and can begin adopting packages. Additionally, you should have access to out-of-date notifications for orphans, and a place on the developers page: http://www.archlinux.org/developers/ Usernames are (or should be) the same as on sigurd. For those of you who haven't sent me their info, please do so as per above. For those I added when the new-user form was broken (and injected a wrong password), shoot me an email and I'll fix your password. Side note: I'm planning on moving the aur email off of gerolde onto sigurd, so you guys can manage it like the devs do - my putting an email address in ~/.forward on that machine. Due to this, I set the public email on the developers page to your sigurd username.aur.archlinux.org

[aur-general] out-of-date notifications
by Abhishek Dasgupta 20 Aug '09

20 Aug '09

Is it possible to have out-of-date notifications to be Cc-ed to the maintainer? Then I can check arch-notifications web interface for the other notifications and still get out-of-date notifications for my packages. Abhishek

[aur-general] Request: Renaming stasks-manager-plasmoid
by Panos ! 19 Aug '09

19 Aug '09

Hello to everyone ;) I'm "Flamelab" from AUR. Can a TU, please, rename my package from "stasks-manager-plasmoid" to "smooth-tasks-plasmoid" ? That happens because it has been renamed upstream and because, after installation, it is referred as "Smooth Tasks" in "Plasmoids" in KDE, instead of "Stasks" I think that if I try to rename it, a new package entry will be generated in AUR (and my package will not be renamed), so I think a TU can do it. Regards, Panos

[aur-general] Orphan and delete requests
by Ranguvar 19 Aug '09

19 Aug '09

Hello, User "Ranguvar" here. I would like to please request that: -- The package 'dolphin-emu-bin<http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=26683>' is deleted. This package is completely broken, and my own package ' dolphin-emu-svn-bin <http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=27400>' provides the same. -- The package 'fluxbox-git <http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=15047>' is orphaned. I have tried contacting the maintainer using several different email addresses, and have failed (waited for several weeks). If he/she shows up again, I'd be glad to hand it back over if he/she wants. I have a completely fixed and revamped PKGBUILD ready. Thanks very much :-) Also, you can expect my TU application in some months, once I have had more experience with the AUR and more experience with C and with CMake, Autotools, etc. ;-) A nice day to you.
