[aur-general] R: Moving noip from [community] to AUR
Yo, I've just to point out that the free hostname expires just if the IP associated to it is not updated for 30 days. About the moving decision, I've no decisional power for it; I'm using noip2 on my personal Ubuntu Server and I had to compile it on my own (Ubuntu has no AUR and no PPA for it, doh). Maybe I should create a package... :) Kudos, Giovanni -------- Messaggio originale -------- Oggetto:[aur-general] Moving noip from [community] to AUR Da:Alexander Rødseth <rodseth@gmail.com> A:Discussion Repository <aur-general@archlinux.org> Cc: Hi, Some time ago I adopted the noip package. It's a GPL client that connects to what seems to be a commercial service offered by no-ip.com. The free service offered by them has a hostname that expires every 30 days. I am a bit surprised that this was an official package in the first place. When asking for opinions on IRC, there was support for moving the noip package to AUR. In addition to this, there seems to be several alternative clients, with slightly different versioning schemes. Both here: http://www.noip.com/download?page=linux and here: http://onevista.com/noip2.html. This confusion generated a low volume of out-of-date flags. It just smells bad. Moving it. -- Best regards, Alexander Rødseth / xyproto
