[aur-general] xulrunner in AUR and extra?
by Phillip Smith 28 Oct '09

28 Oct '09

I'm going through the orphans list in the AUR at the moment looking for packages to adopt, and came across xulrunner. Given then xulrunner is now in extra, shouldn't it be removed from the AUR?

[aur-general] Remove vimperator-git
by Michael Witten 27 Oct '09

27 Oct '09

I am the maintainer of "vimperator-git". That project now uses mercurial (hg) rather than git, so I have uploaded a new package named "vimperator-hg", and now I would like to have "vimperator-git" removed from AUR. Thanks! mfwitten P.S. Under the current conventions, it is necessary to change the package name whenever the underlying version control system (VCS) is changed. Perhaps there should be a policy that encourages a more general suffix for such packages: "vimperator-vcs".

[aur-general] AUR password reset / cross-compiling some lib32-
by Mikhail Vorozhtsov 27 Oct '09

27 Oct '09

Hi. I was dumb enough to lose my AUR password. Left a request on the forum three days ago, PM'd the guy ('wonder') who did resets for other people earlier with no luck so far. Looking for a kind soul with enough administrative rights to help me. Back to the list topic, I've created a few packages for cross-compiling 32bit apps (namely, cross32-binutils, lib32-glibc-devel, and cross32-gcc, I'll upload them as soon as I recover my password). I use these packages to compile a version of lib32-alsa-lib (will be uploaded as lib32-alsa-lib-fixed) that looks for plugins in /opt/lib32/usr/lib/alsa-lib instead of /usr/lib/alsa-lib (and thus doesn't crash your wine/skype/etc). Feel free to use them when you encounter 32bit apps that have hardcoded paths for dynamic code loading.

[aur-general] Disown request for kgmailnotifier
by mutlu_inek 25 Oct '09

25 Oct '09

Hi, Kgmailnotifier has not been updated in 16 months. The AUR PKGBUILD still depends on Qt3 and KDE3. I have emailed him/her about two weeks ago, but not received an answer. Moreover, if I did not overlook anything, the maintainer has not updated any of his/her packages in a rather long time. Kgmailnotifier has a new stable version that depends on Qt4 and KDE4. I thus request the package to be disowned so I can adopt it. Cheers, mutlu Link to package: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=10065

Hello! I'm the maintainer of ffgtk and ffgtk needs spandsp. But the PKGBUILD of spandsp doesn't work and needs to be updated. I would do this because the maintainer vinz doesn't it. So please let me adopt this package. Thank you SIRSteiner (Ronny)

by F B 24 Oct '09

Hi, This package http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=3591 (amsn-plugins-music) can be deleted because this function is now provided by amsn without additional plugins (and it conflicts with it). This package http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=30586 (bin32-mumble-overlay) because the submitter upload a binary file in aur (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/bin32-mumble-overlay/bin32-mumble-overlay…) and this is forbidden of course :) Thanks in advance.

Could you please remove python3-pyopt. I decided the 'python3' suffix was unnecessary and moved it to 'pyopt'. Thanks, Chris

[aur-general] octave and scilab startup error
by Uli Armbruster 23 Oct '09

23 Oct '09

Hi First of all, I have [testing] enabled and I'm on 32bit. I wanted to take a look at these two alternatives of matlab. Both of them don't work here, both are complaining about a missing library error while loading shared libraries: libgfortran.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory After installing gcc-fortran it worked, so it seems like we need a rebuild here with corrected dependencies for [testing] (octave) and [community-testing] (scilab) Greetz Army
