[aur-general] Resigning as a TU
Hello all, It is also time for me to resign as a Trusted User. I've been here for two years already, and it's been quite enjoyable. But now my time schedule is getting too demanding, and I prefer to leave the field for new TUs. Of course, I will continue to contribute to the Arch community as a developer. I offer the following packages for adoption to any interested TU: pdfedit texmaker mp3unicode libxml-perl perl-crypt-ssleay perl-json perl-file-nfslock perl-freezethaw perl-mime-tools perl-term-readline perl-xml-dom perl-xml-regexp perl-xml-sax I will continue maintaining those that are not adopted, as well as the following ones (mostly perl stuff), because I use them and they are not a great deal of work, but if any one is interested I can orphan them on request. apparix perl-cpanplus-pacman perl-dbd-pg perl-file-slurp perl-list-moreutils perl-log-log4perl perl-params-validate perl-parse-recdescent perl-text-reform perl-tidy perl-xml-libxml perl-xml-libxml-common perl-xml-libxslt perl-xml-namespacesupport perl-xml-writer perl-xml-xpath Best regards, François (Firmicus)

Sorry to hear about your resignation, but you have my best wishes. Good luck with your other endeavors as an Arch developer.
I offer the following packages for adoption to any interested TU: *SNIP* libxml-perl perl-crypt-ssleay perl-json perl-file-nfslock perl-freezethaw perl-mime-tools perl-term-readline perl-xml-dom perl-xml-regexp perl-xml-sax *SNIP*
I'd be more than happy to adopt all of these Perl packages in one fell swoop. They look straightforward. Do you have any advice about maintaining these and other Perl packages? Is it possible to get CPAN to send me email whenever a new version of one of them is released? -- Chris

You can use pacpan in a script to get the latest versions (and to generate PKGBUILDs with extensive provides arrays (many CPAN modules use the same sources and thus create the same package even though they use different names)). http://xyne.archlinux.ca/info/pacpan You can also use makerepo with pacpan to automatically build newer packages when new module versions are released. http://xyne.archlinux.ca/info/makerepo Xyne

Hi Chris, I personally use the "ck4up" [#1], a simple but very useful ruby script, for mantain up to date my all packages in AUR. It works doing a md5 sum of the page for find changes with regular expresions to match some particular part of the page. Can use aliases for common tasks and for urls. I post my configuration file [#2] to serve as example. It contains 51 packages urls and some common aliases for URL like freshmeat, sourceforge, cpan, and others. Also contain two aliases to match tarballs. Good Luck!

pacpan is surely an excellent option. I have myself developed a similar tool (perl-cpanplus-pacman on AUR) but I have not touched it much since last year, and I presume pacpan is more usable now. I have also a small perl script to check for out-of-date version of CPAN stuff. See http://ankabut.net/archlinux/checkcpanversions.pl (Change the variable $cpandir to suit your situation). Best, F
