[aur-general] Orphans in community
Hi, after the resigns of Shinlun and Bjorn, we decided to orphanize all of their packages, any TU can adopt them, else packages that won't be adopted will move it to unsupported. (I think if someone *not-tu* thinks that can maintain many of these packages, should send a TU application then.) This is the list of the orphaned community packages: aconnectgui 0.9.0rc2.1-1 amsynth 1.2.0-2 atari800 2.0.3-1 bitmeter 1.2-1 caps 0.4.2-1 cdck 0.7.0-1 codeine 1.0.1-2 coldfire 0.3.1-2 empathy 0.23.4-1 farsight 0.1.28-1 fluidsynth-dssi 0.9.1-2 gdb-armulator 5.0-2 gnome-art 0.2-2 gnome-splashscreen-manager 0.2-2 gnonlin 0.10.9-1 gstreamer0.10-farsight 0.12.8-1 hexter 0.6.1-2 jamin 0.95.0-5 jdelay 20060513-3 jrtplib 3.7.0-1 jthread 1.2.1-1 kanatest 0.4.4-1 lash 0.5.4-1 libmimic 1.0.4-1 libtelepathy 0.3.3-1 ltris 1.0.12-1 lzma-utils 4.32.6-2 meterbridge 0.9.2-3 mod_ruby 1.2.6-1 pcmanx-gtk2 0.3.7-1 physfs 1.0.1-4 poweriso 1.2-1 python-geotypes 0.7.0-1 python-telepathy 0.15.0-1 qmmp 0.1.6-1 qtm 0.6.3-1 ruby-amazon 0.9.0-3 ruby-atk 0.16.0-1 ruby-event-loop 0.3-1 ruby-gconf2 0.16.0-1 ruby-gdkpixbuf2 0.16.0-1 ruby-gettext 1.90.0-1 ruby-glib2 0.16.0-1 ruby-gnome2 0.16.0-1 ruby-gnomecanvas 0.16.0-1 ruby-gnomeprint 0.16.0-1 ruby-gnomeprintui 0.16.0-1 ruby-gnomevfs 0.16.0-1 ruby-gtk2 0.16.0-1 ruby-gtkhtml2 0.16.0-1 ruby-gtkmozembed 0.16.0-1 ruby-gtksourceview 0.16.0-1 ruby-gtktrayicon 0.1.0-2 ruby-libart 0.16.0-1 ruby-libglade 0.16.0-1 ruby-pango 0.16.0-1 ruby-postgres 0.7.1-5 ruby-rcairo 1.6.1-1 ruby-rsvg 0.16.0-1 ruby-scw 0.4.0-2 ruby-shout 2.1-1 rubygame 2.3.0-1 scw 0.4.7-1 seq24 0.8.7-2 sfarkxtc 1.03-5 sineshaper 0.4.2-3 skyeye 1.2.3-1 sofia-sip 1.12.7-1 softgun 0.16-3 stella 2.5.1-2 tablet-apps 0.3.1-1 tapioca 0.3.9-1 tapioca-xmpp 0.3.9-1 tapiocaui 0.3.9.1-3 telepathy-butterfly 0.3.1-1 telepathy-gabble 0.7.2-1 telepathy-glib 0.7.10-1 telepathy-idle 0.1.2-1 telepathy-inspector 0.5.2-1 telepathy-mission-control 4.67-1 telepathy-salut 0.2.3-1 telepathy-stream-engine 0.5.3-1 tetringo 0.3.1-1 timemachine 0.3.1-2 tk707 0.8-2 vkeybd 0.1.18b-1 waveutils 1.18-2 xsynth-dssi 0.9.0-4 zynaddsubfx 2.2.1-2 -- Angel Velásquez angvp @ irc.freenode.net Arch Linux Trusted User (TU) http://www.angvp.com

This is the list of the orphaned community packages:
ltris 1.0.12-1 sfarkxtc 1.03-5
I've adopted these two. If another TU wants them, feel free to grab them. I'm only mildly interested in them. Before moving any of this stuff to unsupported, please make sure that they are not makedepends or depends for other community packages.

Of course, TUs that have packages depending on any package of the list should REALLY consider adopting it... -- Geoffroy Carrier
I'm not a TU, but I can adopt poweriso (the only one I'm familiar to). Can I upload it to AUR instead of REPO (CVS)? On 12/08/2008, Geoffroy Carrier <geoffroy.carrier@koon.fr> wrote:

Good, i got no others answers yet, so i think is time to moving the orphans in community to AUR again. Part and the crew i hope your help moving those all packages to AUR again, but i prefeer if someone check again the list and get enthusiasm to maintain many of those all packages (imho ruby hackers would like maintain some orphan ruby packages, then they can propose themselves as a TU), but .. let's wait, what about a date for starting the removal? anyone propose one? i expected to do the move this tuesday (just a week before i sent the first mail), any ideas?

Yes just go for it. If someone was interested they should have stepped forward by now. It's a pity though that we have these frequent removals. It really would be better if we as a team would not add too many non-popular packages. Ah well, that has been discussed before. Ronald

Retiring TUs should really announce that they plan on leaving, allow other TUs to adopt packages, then move the rest to unsupported themselves, then finally quit.

They did it Loui (i mean they announced their retirements and their packages), you have to check frequently your e-mail (i mean check it more do an effort please), They just didn't move their packages to unsupported and now we have to do it.. so .. let's start moving things ;) (all of us should do this, you can collaborate too Loui). Now i'm on my work, when i'll arrive to home i will start with someones. Please if someone move any package to unsupported please send an e-mail...

I've adopted the dependencies of alexandria which were orphaned: ruby-atk ruby-gconf2 ruby-gdkpixbuf2 ruby-gettext ruby-glib2 ruby-gnome2 ruby-gtk2 ruby-libart ruby-libglade ruby-pango ruby-rcairo If anyone is interested in ruby, then I can give these to them. But otherwise these packages must stay in [community] as long as alexandria stays. As far as I've seen there are no other packages which have orphaned dependencies, but this needs to be checked properly. -- Abhishek
