[aur-general] utorrent-server deletion request
by Cédric Girard 08 Jan '11

08 Jan '11

utorrent-server [1] is a duplicate of utserver [2]. It has no maintainer, is outdated and has a bad PKGBUILD. Thanks, [1] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=40600 [2] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=40602 -- Cédric Girard

[aur-general] Proposal: Mass AUR Cleanup (Discussion Period)
by Jakob Gruber 10 Nov '10

10 Nov '10

In response to Louis objections about skipping the discussion period, I'm posting the full text of the proposal below. It has been altered from the original text to incorporate Xynes idea of adding the 'last maintainer activity rule. Sorry for making you guys vote twice. This marks the beginning of the discussion period. --------------------------------------------- Hi TUs, recently I had a look at the AUR db to see if we could do some mass cleanups (see my mail at aur-general [1]). ------------------------------ Orphan candidates ------------------------------ Packages which are marked 'out of date' but the last package action (submission or modification) AND the maintainers last action (across all of his packages) are before January 1st, 2009. So, Out of date = TRUE AND Last package action < 20090101 AND Last maintainer action < 20090101 http://pastebin.com/e5qJxBUs (335 packages in the most recent DB dump - results may vary a little when querying the actual db) Valid objections in reply to [1] (and any other related threads) would be excluded. While many of these packages are probably candidates for deletion, the only safe thing to do en masse is to orphan them. Please vote 'yes' if you agree with orphaning these packages and 'no' if you disagree. [1] http://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/aur-general/2010-September/010999.ht…

[aur-general] TU Application
by Kaiting Chen 10 Nov '10

10 Nov '10

Hi aur-general, my name is Kaiting Chen and Xyne has decided to sponsor me for my TU application. I'm twenty one years old and a senior at Duke University studying Biomedical Engineering with a minor in Economics. I have also been a web developer and systems administrator for about four years now and am currently working on a rather long and protracted project for the university. I have been using Linux on a daily basis for about seven years now starting with Red Hat Linux, then Debian, Gentoo and finally Arch Linux for the last three years. And I use C, C++, x86 ASM, Java, Python, Ruby, PHP, and Javascript on a daily basis. I have Arch installed on four servers in total as well as on one virtual machine. I'm not ashamed to admit that I run a Windows 7 notebook as my only physical computer; though it's only role these days is to not bother me while I SSH into my Linux machines. I maintain a small cluster running Arch where I hand out free shell accounts to anyone who wants them. Currently this cluster has one hundred and twenty five users though I am in the process of updating its infrastructure to (hopefully) scale up to a couple thousand. The most important services on this cluster are/were glusterfs, nfs, ntpd, httpd, vsftpd, postfix, dovecot, postgresql, ejabberd, slapd, openvpn, memcached, pvpgn (this list is being updated quite often). I currently maintain thirty packages in the AUR, most of which I do not use but would be unhappy in seeing them orphaned. I would like to become a Trusted User simply because I would like to maintain packages more effectively. Recently there's been a thread on aur-general about the possible removal of hundreds of packages from [community] which makes me very worried. Packages such as cacti, courier-*, ejabberd, freeradius*, ipsec-tools, monit, roundcubemail, scilab, and *ircd are very important to people who run Arch on the server such as myself. This list evinces a fundamental problem however that there is simply not enough manpower to maintain the current repositories. Because I am able (or hopefully will be deemed so by the powers that be/grant TU priveleges) I would like to help alleviate this condition. Arch allows me to focus on the work that I do; it should be obvious that helping to ensure that Arch functions smoothly and efficiently is a necessary task for anyone who has made this distribution a valuable part of their workflow. In more concrete terms of how I want to contribute, I would like to start by adopting python-openbabel, freeimage, metakit, gen2shp, tdl, python-bsddb, and other orphaned packages in [community] once I have the chance to take a closer look at the orphan list. I'd also like to pull smalltalk, burp, bti, liboauth, and vim-align into [community]. I would also like to work on bringing some of the packages in [community] up to date such as rsyslog, pyinotify, openntpd, and ngspice. I would also like to work on maintain the Arch web presence. I think that a separate login is needed for each part of the site is something that should be fixed. The AUR is also somewhat outdated and I in large part agree with the page here: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR_2. That's about all I can think of for now. Please feel free to ask any questions and thanks for taking the time to consider my application. Kaiting. -- Kiwis and Limes: http://kaitocracy.blogspot.com/

[aur-general] [google-talkplugin] How to build an older version of openssl
by Denis A. Altoé Falqueto 02 Nov '10

02 Nov '10

Hello, guys. Google Talk Plugin for GMail is not working anymore for me (and others...) because it relies on libssl.so.0.9.8. But for my surprise, the binary GoogletalkPlugin is a 32 bits executable, even for the 64 bits package. It comes right after the original deb package, provided by Google. To make things short, I tried to "downgrade" the lib32-openssl PKGBUILD to version 0,9,8n. It compiles fine, but the resulting libraries (libcrypto.so.0.9.8 and libssl.so.0.9,8) are ELF64, when they should be ELF32. You can view the PKGBUILD in http://pastebin.com/04xsippr So, should I need a 32 bits chroot for that? Shouldn't the multilib compiler be enough? -- A: Because it obfuscates the reading. Q: Why is top posting so bad? ------------------------------------------- Denis A. Altoe Falqueto Linux user #524555 -------------------------------------------

[aur-general] Request for Removal: python2-oggconvert

I apologize if I'm doing something wrong, I'm uncomfortable with mailing lists. I submitted an AUR pkgbuild for python2-oggconvert, but it is no longer necessary since the oggconvert maintainer updated to account for the python upgrade. I couldn't find any information on the AUR site or the arch wiki on how to remove a package I've uploaded, but yugrotavele suggested the best way would be to subscribe to this mailing list then send an email to everyone asking for someone else to delete the package. Will someone please kill that package for me? And will someone tell me if there's a better way to do this, for future reference? http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=42034 Thanks for any help, Andy

[aur-general] TU Application: Lukas Fleischer
by Lukas Fleischer 21 Oct '10

21 Oct '10

Hi! My name is Lukas Fleischer, I'm a 20-year-old student from Germany, studying Computer Science at the University of Stuttgart, freelance web-developper, IT consultant and hobbyist DJ. I've been using GNU/Linux for about three years (used OpenBSD and FreeBSD before) and Arch Linux probably for about two years. Since then, Arch Linux has become my Desktop distribution of choice being installed and used on four of my workstations and one server (i686 as well as x86_64, one box using [testing] and [community-testing] repos). Besides Arch Linux, I'm still using Debian, Gentoo and *BSD as server distributions/OS. I'm a hardcore CLI user (zsh, tmux, mutt, irssi, mplayer, calcurse just rock!), experienced programmer (10+ years) specialized in Perl, C and Assembly and, as I already said, web-developper (PHP, MySQL, PostgreSQL). As I read about Loui looking for help with the AUR multiple times on aur-dev, I thought I'd just give a try and apply for TU. My main interests would be to help out with AUR development (just check some of the patches I sent to aur-dev) and AUR cleanups (you might e.g. want to have a look at aurdupes [1] and some of my mails to aur-general), double-check popular AUR packages, and, of course, to maintain a couple of packages in [community] including remuco, redshift, tinyproxy, mixxx (I'd also like to see xwax in [community] but sadly, it's not really popular), pytyle, optionally surf and tabbed and maybe some of the OpenSync stuff (I'm still trying to get it work with calcurse and my Symbian phone). I currently maintain 22 packages in the AUR [2] and previously maintained some other packages that have been moved to [community] (e.g. perl-datetime-format-iso8601, perl-task-weaken, winetricks). You might also want to check my "archlinux-packages" GIT repository [3] which is (almost) always up-to-date. If you check some of the PKGBUILDs you might notice that I care about consistency and conformity with standards (although not all of the packages might stick to that, especially virtualbox_bin still looks kinda ugly and contains some legacy stuff). I'd really appreciate any kind of positive criticism and improvement suggestions as regards that! Well, if there are any questions left, feel free to ask. And before I forget, Loui has agreed to be my sponsor :) Regards, Lukas [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=40869 [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?SeB=m&K=cryptocrack [3] http://git.cryptocrack.de/?p=archlinux-packages.git;a=summary

[aur-general] Libreoffice in AUR

[aur-general] openjdk dev packages.
by Peter Lewis 20 Oct '10

20 Oct '10

Hi folks, There's currently a very out of date openjdk development version package here: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=14671 It's also currently orphaned and doesn't build any more. However, there's quite a lot of information in there and though it would probably normally be deleted for being very out of date, orphaned and no longer building on a current system, I don't want to delete it due to the work that's obviously gone into it. This would probably have to be redone if and when someone wanted an openjdk development package. It should be probably renamed openjdk-dev and given some love... does anyone who knows more about building Java fancy taking it under their wing? Otherwise, I suppose that we can just leave it orphaned for such a time as someone does... Cheers, Pete.

Hi, please delete kyotocabinet-python3 (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=40151) I have renamed the package to kyotocabinet-python to reflect the move to Python 3. Additionally: The kyotocabinet packet in AUR (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=39143) is out-of-date for quite some time now, and the referenced sources are not available any more. I would be willing to maintain this packet, but I've just mailed the maintainer today, so he should probably be given some more time to respond before orphaning it. -- Jinks

[aur-general] Packages for deletion?

Mediatomb 0.12.1-2 appears to be in community already, so does that mean the AUR version is superfluous? http://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/i686/mediatomb/ http://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/mediatomb/ Gordon MM0YEQ

[aur-general] Leaving Arch Linux (and computer world for a while) (delete AUR account)
by Dany Martineau 18 Oct '10

18 Oct '10

Hi! Due to new responsibilities in my life, i have to abandon all packages that i've owned in AUR (there are 150 of them). I think that the easier way to do it is to delete my AUR account. Is it possible to do it so? Maybe i'll have to work with Arch Linux when i'll get more time in my hands someday.... Thank you to all for your support! -- Dany Martineau Enseignant en mathématiques École secondaire du Harfang 5e secondaire http://danym.org CSSMI

[aur-general] Delete request: bibletime-kde4 bibletime-i18n
by Christoph 18 Oct '10

18 Oct '10

Please remove the following packages: bibletime-kde4 http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=21617 bibletime-i18n http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=15503 bibletime-kde4 is not necessary any longer because the maintainer has adopted and updated bibletime (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=1740) which was orphaned and in former times contained a quite old KDE3-version (see package comments). bibletime-i18n is orphaned, too, and flagged out-of-date, and also refers to the old KDE3-version. The new (and currently maintained) KDE4-version does not have a seperate i18n-package any more. Thanks, Christoph
