[aur-general] Deletion request
by mathieu p 04 Aug '09

04 Aug '09

I think that someone should remove the "archgdm" package, because : -The project page (gnome look) is a 404 -The package URL is also a 404 -No email is given in the pkgbuild, so it isn't possible to know who made the package, and with which gdm theme was used (the search "Archlinux" in "GDM Themes" in gnome look returns seven results)

[aur-general] Please orphan AUR package "tao"
by Sven-Hendrik Haase 04 Aug '09

04 Aug '09

Hey, Please orphan the AUR package "tao" since it has never been updated, the user seems to have gotten inactive starting somewhere 2006 and the PKGBUILD is lacking quality. I will not maintain it because I'm not a big Mono fan but others should be given the opportunity to do so. -- Sven-Hendrik

Please remove the packages koulourpaint and koulourpaint-bin from the AUR. They are flagged out of date, unmaintained, and the previous maintainer wants it deleted (I assume it's him who wrote the pkgdesc and the comments) « easy-to-use paint program for KDE. Obsolete dummy package - kdegraphics should be used instead»

[aur-general] Community transition, SVN, ETA?
by Magnus Therning 04 Aug '09

04 Aug '09

Is there any ETA for the completion of the community move? Especially I'm wondering when the PKGBUILDs for community will be accessible again. Currently all links to SVN (ViewCVS) result in 404 :-( /M -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) magnus＠therning．org Jabber: magnus＠therning．org http://therning.org/magnus identi.ca|twitter: magthe

[aur-general] spam on the mailing lists
by Abhishek Dasgupta 03 Aug '09

03 Aug '09

While the AL lists are well-maintained and mostly spam free, sometimes a few get through, as on the arch-dev-public list today. I don't know if list admins can specifically mark a message as a spam from the server side but there should be a way to do so. I could mark as spam from Gmail but then there's a chance other posts in arch-dev-public would also be classified as spam (that happened before with me with aur-general). This spam could be because of some server problem, a few months ago this kind of spam used to come (from arch-dev-public(a)archlinux.org) and Aaron had fixed it. -- Abhishek

That could be an explanation.

Hi! I was the owner of gguitar PKGBUILD, but since the project was renamed to wxguitar, i decided to create another PKGBUILD. Could someone with sufficient rights could delete gguitar from AUR? Thanks! -- Dany Martineau Enseignant en mathématiques En congé parental jusqu'au 25 août 2009 http://arctangente.blogspot.com CSSMI
