[aur-general] Please delete "matplotlib-mplot3d"
by Sven-Hendrik Haase 09 Aug '09

09 Aug '09

Hey, please delete AUR package "matplotlib-mplot3d" because the package is extremely old and completely broken by now (with Python 2.6 anyway) and because it is unnecessary now that matplotlib 0.99 officially adds 3D plot support again (yay!). -- Sven-Hendrik

[aur-general] TU application: Laszlo Papp
by Laszlo Papp 09 Aug '09

09 Aug '09

Hello, I'd like to formally express my interest in becoming a Trusted User. My name is Laszlo Papp and I'm addicted to archlinux. :) I'm a 23 year old from Hungary, working at a resourcement/development company as Embedded Linux Developer. I've been using Linux for more than 7 years. I used Gentoo until early 2008, and I learned a great deal about Linux in the process. I settled on Arch more than 1 year ago, nearly 1 and half :) Moving to Arch was easy for me, because of my years of experience with Gentoo. I was very attracted by the lack of dominance of money and business world and by the warm and friendly community. I have got some experience in Assembly, C, VHDL languages. I have written some open source usb kernel driver (for Passport Reader, Fingerprint Reader, etc.), and a pci kernel driver. I've worked with PIC, AVR microcontrollers, DSP processors, ARM architecture, and FPGA design. I deal with Blackfin DSP board with Embedded Linux on it recently, and I try to help to write C/ASM API for this. My username on the BBS, AUR, Wiki, Bugs, and Freenode is djszapi. Mainly my contribution to archlinux community was on this sites. See the following URL for my packages in AUR: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?SeB=m&K=djszapi I think that Arch does not have a significant presence in the embedded development area of community. I wish to make Arch a viable choice for an embedded developer, by maintaining more popular embedded development related packages in [community]. My Second purpose to do the best support in Arch for vim editor. I like to work from a text console, with framebuffer, and vim :) As a TU, I will offer my knowledge and time to improve my favourite distribution and also the open source world, which gave me so much in the last few years. I would like to add these packages to the [community] repo. 1. AVR microprocessor: avarice, avra, avr-gdb, kontrollerlab, simulavr, tavrasm, uisp, gnome-avrdude 2. PIC microprocessor: picasm, picp, picprog, pikdev, piklab, pk2cmd 3. Blackfin Digital Signal Processor: blackfin-toolchain-elf 4. Tinyos: nesc, tinyos, tinyos-tools 5. ARM architecture: openocd-svn 6. Picoblaze Softcore processor: kpicosim 7. FPGA design: ghdl-bin, verilator 8. Some common, like usb-serial converter driver: libftd2xx. Feel free to ask me, if something is obscure or you would like to know more about me. Thanks to Stefan Husmann for sponsoring me. Best Regards, Laszlo Papp

[aur-general] PD license/no license
by Anton Shestakov 08 Aug '09

08 Aug '09

Hey there. I want to submit sdlmame-cheats package to AUR. Basically, this package would provide a single file; archived collection of user-provided xml files for using in sdlmame. But I have some difficulties with it's license. I couldn't find it nor on the official site, nor in the archive. Actually, I've asked on local forum what license they are providing their work under [1]. The reply was, I quote, "Any individual cheats in this forum/submitted can be taken as Public Domain. I don't know if the collection needs a license or what type of license to put on the full collection". So what do you think, can I put a "license=('PD')" in PKGBUILD? Or even no license at all?

I orphaned gdoomsday because the project has been replaced by enyo-doom (package was created some days ago). I think gdoomsday can be deleted now. Project won't be developed anymore!

[aur-general] Need help updating nbd package
by Peter Simons 06 Aug '09

06 Aug '09

Hi, the nbd package at AUR, http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=9691, has been out-of-date for quite a while. I have an updated PKGBUILD (attached below) and wonder whether there is a way to make that update happen even if the maintainer of that package has apparently lost interest. Take care, Peter

[aur-general] The KDE 4.3 update for packagers
by Pierre Schmitz 05 Aug '09

05 Aug '09

Hi Devs and TUs, with the recent KDE update the packages were split up. All packages in extra should be updated but if you maintain a KDE related package please check. Try to reduce the deps (use namcap) and replace a dep to kdegraphics with the needed sub packages. At least a KDE pacakges which has some standalone app should depend on kdebase-runtime (namcap wont tell you) In addition to this phonon is included into Qt now. Greetings, Pierre -- Pierre Schmitz, http://users.archlinux.de/~pierre
