I'll look through the convert-to-any script and try to fix it next week. Making this script work properly will save us a lot of time later. -- Abhishek

[aur-general] (partially) Inactive
by Andrea Scarpino 06 May '09

06 May '09

Hi all, I will be inactive because I switched to a new ISP, so I will be without an internet connection for a $time (one or two weeks). I am an university student so I can use from 08AM to 07PM (GMT+1) the wireless connection at my university but it is over HTTP proxy: I will cannot use ssh/cvs/git/ftp/irc/jabber protocols. I hope to be totally active soon. Cheers -- Andrea `BaSh` Scarpino Arch Linux Developer

Hi Description: The files provided by gnome-python-docs-2.24.0-1 are already in extra/gnome-python-desktop-2.26.0-1 The exception are /usr/share/gtk-doc/html/pygtkspell/* and /usr/share/gtk-doc/html/pygtkmozembed/* from gnome-python-docs but maybe these files not are present in the newest version. I don't know. -- Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi ( djgera ) http://www.djgera.com.ar KeyID: 0x1B8C330D Key fingerprint = 0CAA D5D4 CD85 4434 A219 76ED 39AB 221B 1B8C 330D

[aur-general] ghamachi
by Blazej Koral 05 May '09

05 May '09

As my pkg ghamachi-beta was deleted as duplicate, please someone correct ghamachi pkgbuild, which has errors. Md5sum and license is wrong. I've mailed Limoto (ghamachi maintainer) about it some time ago, but without any answer. Blasse

I accidentally uploaded the package with the wrong name (forgot the -git). I uploaded it again with the right name. Please delete it. :) Smartboy

[aur-general] Removal/review request
by Vinzenz Vietzke 04 May '09

04 May '09

Hi, There seem to be some duplicates of P2PTV-Tool "Zattoo" in AUR. Since this program is only available as Beta, the name of [2] is redundant - I think [2] can be removed. In case of [3] and [4] I'm not sure: the first is dedicated for Switzerland, but I don't think there's a difference in PKGBUILD to [1] and [2], so removing it might be okay. The second one, [4], is named with "bin32-" in the beginning, so I'm ab bit unsure here too. Perhaps someone can have a look on these four PKGBUILDs - thanks! vinz [1] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=10917 [2] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=18688 [3] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=12859 [4] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=23635 -- Vinzenz Vietzke www.archmirror.de

[aur-general] Huge packages in community
by Angel Velásquez 04 May '09

04 May '09

Hi, I've syncing my home repo today (like I've been doing since months ago) and I got irritated downloading 595 mb of nexuiz, come on, this package can be popular or whatever, but IMHO having a 595mb package on the repos will be painful. I propose for a motion to remove packages like games > 250 mb, I am not a TU anymore and I know that, but the waste of bandwith downloading games is *really* killer... A solution could be: a) Creating an official repo called [games] or something like, where TUs and Devs can put games there (huge games principally. b) Definetively not upload games to the repos I am the administrator of two official mirrors, and watching this situation I am really worried if packages > 250 mb (games) will be downloaded / updated eventually and I will have to waste GBs on this. Please don't take this personal, but IIRC "Gerolde" was suffering for the lack of space months ago, and even if this package and those huge popular games > 250 mb doesn't merely to be on the official repos, frankly (but thanks for the effort to waste the disk space Xyne!). Anyway, that's my humble opinion. -- Angel Velásquez angvp @ irc.freenode.net Linux Counter: #359909

03 May '09

The AUR package 'mayavi' hasn't been updated in a long time and has since been superseded by 'python-enthought-mayavi'. Please remove the former package to avoid confusion.
