[aur-general] Please disown AUR package 'luabind'
by Sven-Hendrik Haase 16 May '09

16 May '09

Please disown the AUR package 'luabind' as I want to adopt it. The original owner doesn't seem interested anymore and the package has been flagged out of date for almost a year. I have a new PKGBUILD ready, I only need to get proper ownership of the package. :)

[aur-general] An idea for vim scripts/plugins
by Magnus Therning 13 May '09

13 May '09

Being a Vim user and having just moved to Arch I noticed that most (all?) packages for Vim plugins install system wide. This may not be desirable since it means all users get all the plugins, and not using pacman for plugins puts the burden of keeping up-to-date on the individual users. So, inspired by Debian's vim-additions-manager, I came up with a (fairly) light-weight solution: vim-scripts-mgr[1]. It looks for available Vim plugins in `/usr/share/vim-scripts` (one directory per plugin) and can install and uninstall individual plugins by adding symbolic links in ~/.vim for a user. I've already uploaded two Vim plugins that make use of it, Align[2] and haskellmode[3]. I'd be thrilled if others who package Vim plugins would consider using it. /M [1]: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=26318 [2]: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=26319 [3]: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=26343 -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) magnus＠therning．org Jabber: magnus＠therning．org http://therning.org/magnus identi.ca|twitter: magthe

[aur-general] some candidates for moving to unsupported
by Abhishek Dasgupta 13 May '09

13 May '09

Hi, I was going through the community bugtracker and I found a few bugs which can be solved by moving the relevant packages to [unsupported]. games/campgen (maintained by dtw) Old and the homepage says that there is no version which works with wesnoth 1.6 in Arch repositories. This would remove this package from the python 2.6 rebuild list (#13831) x11/xgl (#13581) (orphan) Comment on #13581 (tomd123): The link says "It was finally removed [1] from the X server in favor of AIGLX on June 12, 2008.". XGL is deprecated. I think it needs to be removed. Deprecated documentation packages (maintained by dsa) devel/gnome-vfs-docs (#13512) devel/glade-docs (#13509) devel/libxml2-docs (#13559) devel/libsoup-docs (#13536) -- Abhishek

[aur-general] Mutt vs Gmail (Was: An idea for vim scripts/plugins)
by Andrei Thorp 12 May '09

12 May '09

Well, I have all my mailing lists neatly arraged here and so on. They get filed to labels and archived automatically so that I can read them in a unified place. I'd have to change this up so that they go to the inbox, and that screws up my mail filtering in gmail then (afaik). It kind of forces me to compromise one way or another (either have the nice tidy thing in gmail, or the nice tidy thing on my one box, but not both). Since gmail offers it anywhere, I prefer to do it this way. Also, despite the mutt way being pretty nice and unixy (letting me script it easily into my window manager and so on), gmail just has an excellent interface with the folding, images, and so on. I hate to not use the classic mail setup everywhere, but it's just not as tidy anymore :/ What do people think on this topic? I personally find gmail to be extremely convenient, but I'm willing to be enlightened otherwise. -AT On Mon, May 11, 2009 at 10:15 AM, Ricardo Martins <ricardo(a)scarybox.net> wrote: > On Mon, 11 May 2009 10:05, Andrei Thorp wrote: >> Ah, I see.

[aur-general] Fwd: [arch-dev-public] Audio packages
by Eric Bélanger 12 May '09

12 May '09

Is there any TU interested in these audio packages? ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Allan McRae Date: Fri, May 1, 2009 at 6:31 AM Subject: [arch-dev-public] Audio packages To: Public mailing list for ArchLinux development <arch-dev-public(a)archlinux.org> Hi all, Do we have a dev here that wants to spend some time with the audio packages? They have not received much love lately... The jackbeat update requires moving portaudio from [community]. We also have ardour that is quite out-of-date but requires adding several deps to the repos. I updated jack-audio-connection-kit, but it also needs a rework of is rc.d script to actually make it useful and I have not had time to address yet (if anybody wants to do this contact me for the details). So, what do we do? Is there a dev who has time and interest to take these over? Otherwise do we bring someone onboard to maintain these packages or encourage someone in the arch-audio group to become a TU and move them to community? Allan

[aur-general] updating: community/mitter
by Gergely Imreh 12 May '09

12 May '09

Hi, I've seen that community/mitter has been out-of-date for a long time, and the package could be improved somewhat anyway, so updated it. Would a TU add the update, if the package owner does not seem to do it?
