[aur-general] [Orphaning some packages] Lazy, lazy, lazy
by joyfulgirl 07 Oct '09

07 Oct '09

Hey, folks, Just getting the word out that several of my AUR packages have been orphaned. In most of these cases, I've just found that I actually tend to prefer to manually track them; in the case of screen-vs, I've been using tmux lately. Here's a compleat list: - [cl-asdf][http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=18800] - [cl-ppcre][http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=14549] - [clx][http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=12084] - [emms][http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=18853] - [screen-vs][http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=6006] - [stumpwm-git][http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=12996] None of these are much work. Share & enjoy! Thanks, Ivy

[aur-general] spam in out-of-date notifications for [community] packages
by Chris Brannon 06 Oct '09

06 Oct '09

It seems that someone is sending spam via out-of-date notifications for packages in the official repos. How do I clear the out-of-date flag on my packages these days? I can't seem to be able to do that with the new interface. -- Chris

[aur-general] Orphan requests
by Ranguvar 05 Oct '09

The package 'rxvt' <http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=13618> has been out-of-date for a long time and has been flagged and commented as such, with no reply from the maintainer. I also emailed the maintainer to no avail. I'd like to request that that package and all of the maintainer's other packages <http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?K=xaw&SeB=m> that are out-of-date are orphaned so others may maintain them, as it appears they are AWOL.' I'll likely adopt at least some of them. Thanks!

[aur-general] Some package deletion and orphaning requests...
by Try Again 04 Oct '09

04 Oct '09

Hi, I have some propositions for AUR packages. Here they are : - human-themes: should be orphaned. This package hasn't been updated since December 2008. Some users posted updated PKGBUILDs in comments but didn't got an answer. - lib32-bzip2: same as human-themes. Hasn't been updated since August 2008. - bin32-kega-fusion: should be removed. I submitted this package (x86_64 only) along with kega-fusion which is a 32-bit binary. However, as I found out how to make kega-fusion PKGBUILD multi-arch, so bin32-kega-fusion is no longer needed. - mamepgui: should be orphaned. The PKGBUILD has been submitted not long ago but has many defects. It is already outdated, is i686 only and doesn't rely on compilation from sources, though possible. I flagged the package and posted a improved PKGBUILD in comments one month ago but the maintainer didn't react. I'd like to adopt this package. Thanks in advance!

[aur-general] xorg packages
by Xavier 03 Oct '09

These packages are all called -git, but wrongly. They are actually just duplicate of extra packages... http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=18966 http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=29446 http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=28891 http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=28907 Actually, I would not recommend using any of these packages because of their poor quality : http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?K=SpeedVin&SeB=m

[aur-general] The State Of XMonad
by jelle van der waa 03 Oct '09

03 Oct '09

The Last XMonad upgrade a few moths ago had some problems , GHC (haskell compiler ) was released before XMonad was rebuild against the new compiler causing it to potentially break. Can't the XMonad pkgbuild be changed so it sticks with the GHC version it has been build against , that would cause less trouble. Also a new XMonad release , means much haskell-x11-* , xmonad-contrib , xmobar need to be rebuild and pulled together else ghc will complain. Related to my question about XMonad are some issue's (features) on the bugtracker, wich could be added to xmonad-contrib ( xmonad-contrib-darcs from AUR already has this extra dependency's). http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/16339 http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/14146 Still many thanks for having XMonad in community, if you need some help rebuilding packages mail me ;) Jelle van der Waa
