Hi

I have a dream to make rails from packages work on Arch again.

Currently rails and many of its dependencies are out-of-date with broken dependencies. I would like to get ownership on many of the 'kidoz' user ruby-* packages. I emailed kidoz 10 days ago about transferring his out-of-date (or even all) ruby packages to me. He did not reply. Taking into account that many of his packages are out-of-date (some of them ~4months now) I consider kidoz inactive.

Some of the packages need to be merged, some of them deleted, but let's talk about it later.

Ok, could you please disown following packages:

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ruby-columnize/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ruby-erubis/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ruby-hike/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ruby-hoe/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ruby-hpricot/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ruby-i18n/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ruby-multi_json/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ruby-rack-test/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ruby-rails-aio/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ruby-railties/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ruby-rdoc/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ruby-rmagick/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ruby-rmagick2/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ruby-sinatra/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ruby-sprockets/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ruby-thor/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ruby-tilt/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ruby-actionmailer/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ruby-actionpack/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ruby-activemodel/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ruby-activerecord/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ruby-activeresource/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ruby-arel/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ruby-bundler/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/rails/

All disowned, thanks. Regards, Felix Yan

Great thank you.

The packages are adopted and updated. Now everyone can enjoy ruby-4.0.2 from AUR. I tested it on a few simple rails apps and everything seems fine.

An additional cleanup requests:

Please merge old "bundle" rails into the correct one https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ruby-rails-aio/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/rails/ into https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ruby-rails/

The bundle packages install several *.gem files at once. The correct way is to to have one package-per-gem.

Merge https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ruby-rmagick2/ into https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ruby-rmagick/

these are duplicated packages

Merge https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/sqlite3-ruby/ into https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ruby-sqlite3/

These are duplicated packages. sqlite3-ruby actually belongs to 'kidoz' but he is inactive.

Merge https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ruby-protocol-buffers/ into https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ruby-ruby-protocol-buffers/

Although ruby-ruby-protocol-buffers is uglier package name it is the correct one (the gem name is ruby-protocol-buffers)

All merged. For the last one, I think we can ignore the prefix as we already did for python packages (like python-dateutil and python2-memcached, they both have a "python-" prefix on pypi index). But... as you wish :) Regards, Felix Yan

Thanks Felix

May I have a few more of kidoz' out-of-date packages:

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ruby-rack-protection/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ruby-uuidtools/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ruby-cmdparse/

All disowned (out-of-date for months and last-updated time was long ago), thanks. Regards, Felix Yan

I also interpret those naming rules with a grain of salt. For example, the vim-a [1] and vim-mark [2] packages refer to scripts named vim.a and vim.mark, respectively. (the latter script is my own)

Later I will describe my experience with herding the ruby packages. And include this naming question as well. Meanwhile I mostly cleaned the recent gem packages and ready to take more. Please disown following packages from kidoz (the same person as before): https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ruby-gruff/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ruby-irc/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ruby-journey/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ruby-kramdown/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ruby-mkrf/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ruby-opengl/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ruby-rack-cache/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ruby-rack-mount/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ruby-rack-ssl/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ruby-rake-compiler/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ruby-ronn/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ruby-rubyforge/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ruby-sdl/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ruby-webgen/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ruby-xmpp4r/ Also almost 2 weeks ago I contacted Synthead about disowning his out-of-date packages, but he did not reply. 'ruby-unicorn' is not updated since May. I believe Synthead is inactive. So please disown: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ruby-unicorn/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ruby-kgio/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ruby-raindrops/

But whatever. The more important thing is that Anatol is maintaining packages. Thank you.

Thanks. I glad to make ruby more useful on Arch.

Hi, Please disown more ruby packages for other users. blinki. He has a number of out-of-date ruby packages, I contacted hime about month ago and asked the packages ownership. He disowned about a half of the packages (I already adopted and updated them). He has other packages that I would like to take care. I asked to disown the rest but he did not reply. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ruby-cocaine/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ruby-coffee-script/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ruby-exception-notification/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ruby-jquery-rails/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ruby-mysql2/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ruby-paperclip/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ruby-riddle/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ruby-sass-rails/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ruby-thinking-sphinx/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ruby-uglifier/ User 'unexist'. I contacted him about 2 weeks ago to disown his ruby packages (they are all out-of-date). He did not reply. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ruby-curb/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ruby-ffi/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ruby-minitar/ Thanks.
