[aur-general] GMPC packages, bundle and singular
Hi all, I just have a query about these, before I spend some time adopting and updating a bunch of them. In AUR, there are two packages that provide almost all of the GMPC plugins as far as I can see; gmpc-plugins and gmpc-plugins-git: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=29603 http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=23457 There are a number of plugins packaged separately in the AUR as shown here: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?O=0&K=gmpc&do_Search=Go&detail=1&C=0&SeB=nd&SB=n&SO=a&PP=100 Now, neither gmpc-plugins nor gmpc-plugins-git provide all of the plugins listed, though they do cover most. Are the others okay to exist in case people only want one or two rather than the whole package, or should they be removed because they are provided by another package? I'd just like to clear this up before I go ahead and do anything/nothing. Kind regards, Joel.

There are a number of plugins packaged separately in the AUR as shown here:

Hello, I'm the current maintainer of gmpc-plugins. The plugins packaged are already bundled together upstream. I've seen some plugins packaged separately that are deprecated upstream (I have to check which one). I have personally no strong feeling against separate packaging of some plugins if users find it useful. Regards, -- Cédric Girard

Hi, I've done some more research on these plugins. The plugins there not covered by gmpc-plugins are : * gmpc-autoplaylist: no version for gmpc 0.20.0 * gmpc-coveramazon: deprecated * gmpc-dynamic-playlist: independent plugin (meaning not released with other plugins) * gmpc-exiftools: git only, no commit for 1 year * gmpc-favorites: integrated into gmpc * gmpc-guitartabs : git only * gmpc-libnotify : active * gmpc-notify-osd-plugins : independent plugin, last release more than one year ago * gmpc-osd : no version for gmpc 0.20.0 * gmpc-serverstats: integrated into gmpc * gmpc-stopbutton: integrated into gmpc See [1] for a not so uptodate page regrouping info about gmpc plugins. Note there is also three similar gmpc-last.fm packages (included in gmpc-plugins) [2] . [1] http://gmpc.wikia.com/wiki/Plugins [2] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?K=gmpc-last -- Cédric Girard
Thank you very much, Cédric, for this and the previous email. That's cleared things up for me. :-) Regards, Joel. 2011/1/3 Cédric Girard <girard.cedric@gmail.com>
