[aur-general] (Reminder) gnome moved to git
by nezmer＠gmail.com 24 May '09

24 May '09

The gnome project moved their source repositories from svn to git(1). Maybe that's old news for some readers but It's certainly not for all of them . All gnome-related svn PKGBUILDS are already obsolete or will become obsolete in the near future . I wonder what is the best solution in this case . Let individual maintainers upload new git packages and ask for removal of the old svn ones ? (1) http://svn.gnome.org

[aur-general] Orphaning of 44 packages
by G_Syme 24 May '09

24 May '09

Hi fellow listmates, in trying to make a long story short: I've finally switched from KDE3 to KDE4, and not directly via Arch, but on a parallelly installed Kubuntu with shared home partition. The result is, that the Kubuntu installation (which was previously only intended to be a test- platform and failsafe solution) now runs fine, but has devastated the KDE3 configs of the Arch system. But, contrary to my expectation, upgrading Arch to KDE4 didn't utilize the configs from Kubuntu (from the shared home). This means I currently have a not- really-working KDE4 installation on Arch with some additional anomalies (like e.g. graphic glitches, etc.). Unfortunately, university doesn't leave me much spare time to try to repair my current Arch system at the moment. So I'm sticking to my "backup" Kubuntu system for the time being. Because I won't be able to properly maintain my packages at the moment, I'd like to take this opportunity to cut my packages from 64 down to a manageable state of 20. Hope this will give new AUR users the opportunity to collect a few of them, so the distribution gets a bit more balanced. ^^ Now for the list. All of the packages work (except for ditz-git, because upstream development has stalled a bit). Albeit from jvlt, they're all up-to- date (as far as I know). I've tried to categorize them a bit: -- uml2tools and dependencies -- (best to be maintained by one person) eclipse-emf-query eclipse-emf-transaction eclipse-emf-validation eclipse-gmf eclipse-mdt-ocl eclipse-mdt-uml2 eclipse-mdt-uml2tools -- subversive and its dependencies -- (best to be maintained by one person) eclipse-subversive eclipse-subversive-svn-connector eclipse-subversive-svn-connector-svnkit -- (maybe) frozen in time (AKA last update was quite some time ago) -- edumips64 faces finomaton geg gt5 hexxagon jacksum jmencode lookat nihongobenkyo pytraffic reed roll umodpack unmass urxvtcd violet -- candidates for removal (AKA let the community decide) -- brother-mfc260c-cupswrapper brother-mfc260c-lpr (the 2 packages above have never been tested because I don't own the printer (they're build analog to the brother-mfc260c-* packages) and haven't received any votes or comments, so probably no one is using them.) doomsday-1.8 (was intended to be an alternative for the sometimes savegame-corrupting version 1.9beta5. But the problem seems to be solved in 1.9beta6, which makes this package deprecated.) tinyuml (development has been stalled, and the official website has vanished ages ago. The sources can still be obtained from SF.net, though, and the package has received 19 votes over time, but I'm not sure if they still use it...) -- misc -- 4pane aespipe ditz-git dosbox-cvs jvlt mathomatic maxr-svn midish notecase-pro pauker thinkingrock veusz wirbel That's it. I hope to be back on track in late summer with my Arch system. I'll try to maintain my remaining packages as best as I can until then. Cheers, G_Syme

[aur-general] [PATCH] Add URL to get maintainer of a package
by Abhishek Dasgupta 24 May '09

24 May '09

This is a simple patch to make URLs like http://archlinux.org/core/i686/bash/maintainer return the current maintainer for the package in plaintext. I don't know if the code works or not since I've almost no experience in Django. I'm not sure whether simply returning pkg.maintainer shall suffice. -- Abhishek

[aur-general] Inactivity - 21st-25th May
by bardo 22 May '09

22 May '09

Hi guys, This afternoon I'm leaving for a short holiday in Bratislava and Vienna, I'll be back on Monday. I probably won't have Internet access during this period, so feel free to update my packages. Not that I've been very active lately, but well, I'm reading my mails =) I also catch the occasion to ask if some x86_64 TU can rebuild rss-glx, since the latest version keeps segfaulting on me but it seems to be ok on other machines. The i686 package is already in place. If someone does, please close FS#14285. Thanks, Corrado

[aur-general] removing versionpkg from [community]
by Abhishek Dasgupta 21 May '09

21 May '09

I'll be removing versionpkg [1] from [community] soon as its functionality is already built into makepkg now. It was last updated two years ago by dtw, However this will break make_e17 [2] which depends on versionpkg. [1]: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=9272 [2]: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=7616 -- Abhishek

[aur-general] Pacakge removal request
by Smartboy 19 May '09

19 May '09

I would like to request that the package "aptana-1.2.7" be removed from AUR for improper naming and being broken anyway. I am also asking that aptana be orphaned since it has been so long since the package was updated, and so that I can update it (I have a pkgbuild ready, but I also require a different script). :) Smartboy
