http://rollingrelease.com/software/2010/12/arch-holiday-madness I'm still trying to get it posted on the main site, but it will take some time because I need a dev to do that.

I will repost the article here and on the forums for people having issues. * It’s that time again, to give and receive presents, and to push the boundaries of what defines procrastination. That is why some of the trusted users (td123 & kaitocracy) are willing to listen to the community for package nominations to the [community] repo. * To vote, post the package names, and a brief explanation of why they should be included, to either the ML [1] or bbs [2]. Only comments made on the ML thread or BBS thread will be considered. To appease Xyne, we will only accept nominations on the ML that do not top-post. Make sure that the packages you nominate follow the guidelines [3]. We will consider packages which have the most nominations, but that will not be the definitive criterion. * At least 1 package will be added, but expect more to get included. You will be able to nominate packages until December 23rd at 23:59:59 UTC time. The packages that have been accepted will be announced sometime before December 24th 23:59:59 UTC, the day before Christmas. - Arch Linux world domination Inc 1. http://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/aur-general/2010-December/012510.html 2. https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=109897 3. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR_Trusted_User_Guidelines#Rules_for_P...

Interesting concept! By "some of the trusted users (td123 & kaitocracy)", are you implying that this is a project with sole participation from those two? Because I have been relatively lazy lately, and helping out with packaging seems fun (in my twisted, geeky, probably borderline-psychopathic mind). So if you ever need a monkey slave to make you a ham and cheese sandwich (or build and maintain Christmas packages for that matter), I think you'll know who to turn to. Just kidding about the mental disorders by the way... Regards, Brad

No, it's not just limited to those packages. I only mentioned kaiting and me because I asked in #archlinux-tu and no one except kaiting agreed to do it. It is open to anyone, so far, you and schuay are now participating.

I'm gonna sit down and watch, while taking down a list of candidates. By the end of this, any one or more of the candidates that have not been picked up, I will handle :)

Gnah Stefan, I just posted on the thread that they should read the rules and implied that they should write a short description for their proposals. This list of packages will simply be ignored as there are no descriptions for why they shall be moved to the repository. Don't do everything for that kindergarten by feeling forced by them to do so, they shall learn to read and behave properly. It is nice you did this stuff(creating a list, checking if they are according to rules etc.), tell them they shall write their description and when you got them, then you can take care of them, else your the one who is blamed by everyone else and this shall not happen.

I nominate lightspark. It's a new Free Software Flash player that's been getting a lot of press and development lately. Let's make it easier for people to try it to see if it works for them yet! ^_^ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=39063 -Isaac
Given my position, I'm exempting myself from this process, however I have to admit I'm intrigued by lightspark. I never would have heard of it if not for this message. Perhaps someone should do an article on it (or on Flash alternatives in general) for Rolling Release? On Tue, Dec 14, 2010 at 2:28 AM, Isaac Dupree < ml@isaac.cedarswampstudios.org> wrote:

If there were alternatives, or at least alternative flash players... Gnash, according to some document on their website, doesn't even try to sync audio and video, rather it's impossible by design. Both gnash and lightspark seem to focus on making youtube work and fail more often than not. Needless to say that there's more to flash than youtube. The flash situation is still horrible, there are no alternative players.

The problem with lightspark is, that it still depends on pulseaudio. As far as I know in the meantime the audio playback is redesigned and implemented as a plugin system, but the only audio plugin is still pulseaudio. Hopefully there will be an ALSA plugin in the future as already requested by several users. Heiko

Funny you should mention that, I am one of the (inactive) devs for lightspark :P
