[aur-general] Remove vim-scripts-align
by Magnus Therning 28 Jun '09

28 Jun '09

Please remove this package (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=26319) I have no intention of supporting it as the upstream author makes it available as a VBA. This means it can be easily kept up-to-date from inside Vim using GetLatestVimScripts, and pacman need not be involved at all. /M -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) magnus＠therning．org Jabber: magnus＠therning．org http://therning.org/magnus identi.ca|twitter: magthe

[aur-general] automatic package creation from pypi
by Abhishek Dasgupta 27 Jun '09

27 Jun '09

Quite a while back, the idea of automatically creating PKGBUILDs from pypi came up: http://www.archlinux.org/pipermail/aur-general/2008-August/002099.html It'd be really cool if we could get something similar to cabal2arch for PyPI. Checking the PyPiXmlRpc [1] page does not show any field for listing dependencies of the package though. Is there any way of getting the dependencies of a python module programmatically?

[aur-general] The AUR move semi complete
by Loui Chang 27 Jun '09

27 Jun '09

The web site is running and users can interact with the AUR in most of the usual ways. Mail still needs to be set up properly so notifications aren't working right now. I'll also need some more time for setting up community. Syncing the whole repo is taking longer than anticipated.

The AUR has been up for how many years, and I haven't even *heard* of a malicious package. I don't think we should add features (and spend effort coding, and make the interface *more* cluttered) unless there is a need for the feature.

[aur-general] Short Absence
by Aaron Schaefer 27 Jun '09

27 Jun '09

Hey all...just wanted to let you know that I'll be out of town for the next week and a half (I'm getting married!) and won't be touching any Arch-related stuff. I do know that I've got a pending bug report to fix my vim plugin packages, moving them to the new proper location considering the new vim package's structure, so if anyone wants to tackle that, feel free...if not, I'll update them when I get back. Good luck with the AUR server migration! -- Aaron "ElasticDog" Schaefer

I tested the code here and it's working. I would've attached a git patch but for some weird reason no application in the terminal can access the net! Firefox works fine though. -- Abhishek
