[aur-general] Orphan (adoption) request for x48 and delete request for x48-emulator
Good day. [this same message has been hanging in the non-subscriber moderation queue for a few days now] I'm a recent arch user (but longtime linux user) and would like to adopt the x48 package, an emulator for the HP-48 scientific calculator. There are two versions of the package on the AUR, x48 and x48-emulator but both are out of date and unfortunately neither listed maintainer (also CCed) has responded to email. I've created a new PKGBUILD updated to the current 0.6.3 and have also patched x48 itself to have it use the normal archlinux X11 app-defaults directory (/usr/share/X11/app-defaults) instead of a previously hard-coded /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults. The new PKGBUILD furthermore installs the "ROMDump" program so people can use it to grab the ROM from their own HP-48s. Might also like to do more serious work on the emulator in the future. I suppose the x48-emulator package will have been created only because back then the x48 maintainer also didn't respond -- if I can adopt the x48 package, the x48-emulator package could be deleted I suppose. I'm not a subscriber to the list; if I look through the archives I believe it's not usual to attach src archives but if anyone want to see my version, it's at: http://members.home.nl/rene.herman/arch/x48-0.6.3-1.src.tar.gz I'm "rene" on the AUR (with only the "ufiformat" package as of now). Regards, Rene

Hello, I orphaned x48 and deleted the other one. Feel free to adopt. Thank you
Hey, I was angling for that one :-P Note that I had crated a patch to the newer of the packages and it is attached as a comment. How does your patch compare to mine? I sent an email to the maintainer (clamy) earlier this week and have heard nothing back as yet. I was going to adopt it, but if you would like it, that is okay by me. ewaller On Fri, Aug 27, 2010 at 7:27 AM, René Herman <rene.herman@gmail.com> wrote:
