[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.

[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

[aur-general] adoption request for flex-sdk
by Alper KANAT 17 May '09

17 May '09

Hey There, I'm a developer myself and developing an application using Adobe's Flex. I've found out that AUR has an outdated version of flex-sdk which has also been flagged as out of date. I've tried contacting its developer today but I don't expect a reply since users commented on the package's page had no response back. Any way; I think I can handle the packaging work of flex-sdk. I'm (right now) working on its PKGBUILD to make it work on my computer. If my adoption request is accepted, I would love to share it. If not, I guess I'm going to add it to Turkish Community repositories which one can find at http://www.archlinux.org.tr/repo/. As a reference, you can see my other packages. My username is alperkanat on AUR. Cheers! -- Alper KANAT <alperkanat(a)raptiye.org>

[aur-general] Resign as a TU
by Hugo Doria 17 May '09

17 May '09

Hi everyone, I think it is time for me to resign *as a TU*. Unfortunately, i do not have much time now and there are some things that i have to leave. For now, at least. Real life sucks! I want to use my free time with packages from [extra] and the development of some tools for the core part of our distro. Feel free to adopt any of my packages from community/AUR. I do not intend to leave them as orphans. Thank you for everything. -- Hugo

Hi! Please remove the two packages: 1) xbmc-smoothvideo http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=26372 and 2) xbmc-vdpau http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=24650 as they are both obsolete now that xbmc-svn has incorporated the same patches/features. Thanks! Ralf.

[aur-general] Removal request for AUR package 'ftgl'
by Sven-Hendrik Haase 17 May '09

17 May '09

Please remove the AUR package 'ftgl' because 1) it name conflicts with the 'ftgl' in [extra] and 2) broke the taboo of supplying a more updated version of the same package to AUR instead of marking the package in [extra] as outdated.
