Andrea Scarpino orphaned all of the x2go packages for me yesterday, but it seems he missed x2goserver. Could somebody orphan that for me so that I can update it too? Thanks, Richard

[aur-general] PKGBUILDS removal request and question
by Borislav Gerassimov 27 Apr '09

27 Apr '09

Greetings! I've recently (friday) adopted the qutim-related orphans, well almost all of the qutim PKGBUILDS. There are some of theme that are in fact duplicates, created because the originals were not updated. I've updated the duplicates, so I can suggest the following to be removed: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=24518 qutim-protocol-icq-svn http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=24519 qutim-protocol-irc-svn http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=24520 qutim-protocol-jabber-svn http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=24521 qutim-protocol-mrim-svn I've added provides=(..) and replaces=(..) lines in the corresponding qutim- plugin-*-svn PKGBUILDS. Is this enough? Also I've decided to update the qutim-svn PKGBUILD and remove the others, which are: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=22515 qutim-core-svn http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=21918 qutim-svn-dev There are conflicts=(..) and provides=(..) lines in the qutim-svn PKGBUILD but I'm not sure if replaces=(..) is needed there. The goal is to have qutim-svn and qutim-plugin-*-svn PKGBUILDs only. Thanks at advance for your replies and actions. If something is wrong with all this, please share your opinions. -- Borislav Gerassimov | borislavba - at - gmail.com Don't print if not necessary!

[aur-general] When does a package need -svn?
by hollunder＠gmx.at 27 Apr '09

27 Apr '09

Hi there, the developer of ardour changed the download page (1) in a way that doesn't allow downloads without going through a dialogue where he asks for donation. Donation is not mandatory but there's no direct link to the source tarball available anymore. All ardour packages, including the one I maintain (2), are broken since this change. The in my opinion best way to overcome this issue is to determine the svn revision of the release, check it out and build that instead. Although it technically using svn it wouldn't follow a branch. Would it ok to just leave the package name as is? The other method I can think of that wouldn't need svn would be to upload the tarball elsewhere, something I rather not do. (1) http://www.ardour.org/download (2) http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=22752 Best regards, Philipp

[aur-general] Deletion request for 'changefirefoxicon'
by Sven-Hendrik Haase 26 Apr '09

26 Apr '09

I request the AUR package 'changefirefoxicon' be deleted for duplicate (of 'firefox-branded') and severe breach of all good PKGBUILD rules. Just look at it, but I warn you as you might fall right from your chair either laughing or crying. Please just delete it.

[aur-general] Problems with scilab packages
by Stefan Husmann 25 Apr '09

25 Apr '09

Hello, I have a strange problem with the scilab packages I maintain in [community]. The i686 version lacks a directory /usr/share/scilab/modules/helptools/jar/ , which is needed for the help browser. The package for x86_64 has this directory. I have no idea why this ist the case, since they both use the same PKGBUILD. Any hints are appreciated. Regards Stefan

[aur-general] This is intentional [community/x86_64/lib32-*] ?
by Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi 25 Apr '09

25 Apr '09

Hi, In FTP there are lib32-* packages (also listed in community.abs.tar.gz community.db.tar.gz community.files.tar.gz) In website, under AUR if search these packages are listed as "unsupported", and other don't appears. Examples: lib32-curl is in FTP in binary form but not listed here http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?K=lib32-curl lib32-glibc is in FTP in binary form and is listed as "unsupported" with the corresponding PKGBUILD http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?K=lib32-glibc (with as normal user) There is no lib32- under community, but are on ftp? http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?K=lib32-&L=3 Confused!
