[aur-general] Cleanup regarding Gens (Genesis emulator) packages
by Try Again 16 Oct '10

16 Oct '10

Hi, As Gens (which contains i386 asm code) is now compilable on x86_64 thanks to multilib packages, I wrote updated PKGBUILDs for gens and gens-gs (a fork of gens). However, many entries in the AUR provide Gens but are somewhat dead or abandoned. So, here are my requests : - first, gens-opengl, gens-mythgame-opengl, gens-cvs, bin32-gens should be deleted. Theirs sources are unreachable and OpenGL support is integrated in gens-gs. - secondly, I would like to adopt gens-gs. Its maintainer did not answer to our multiple requests for updating the sources URL. On the other end, the maintainer of gens still seems active, so I'll try to contact him. - finally, if I adopt and update gens-gs, bin32-gens-gs becomes useless. AUR URLs : - gens-opengl: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=1463 - gens-mythgame-opengl: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=10966 - gens-cvs: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=691 - bin32-gens: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=19663 - gens-gs: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=21612 - bin32-gens-gs: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=24073

[aur-general] Greetings from Alibloke
by Alasdair Haswell 16 Oct '10

16 Oct '10

Hello, I've recently joined this list and thought I should introduce myself. I'm a linux sysadmin for a fairly large hosting company and have been using linux for around eight years now. I've been running Arch for a little over a year and it's quickly become my distro of choice. The AUR is an exceptional resource and I've decided to contribute some of my time towards maintaining some packages. I've picked up an orphan; rng-tools and updated it to the latest version. It's my first attempt at writing a PKGBUILD, any comments/suggestions would be welcome. I'm also looking at updating the meanwhile library, it looks to have been out of date for some years now. I've emailed the maintainer with no response - how would I go about taking over this package? Regards, Ali.

[aur-general] Wine removal requests
by Det 16 Oct '10

16 Oct '10

Heyeyeh, So here's some unnecessary/obsolete wine packages that should be wiped out from the face of AUR Ò_Ó: bin32-wine-wow-hardware-cursor: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=33975 wine-stable-wc: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=33231 wine-wc: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=27298 wine-wow-hardware-cursor: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=33974 (users claiming that WoW patch v4.0.1 allows the usage of [community]/[multilib]'s vanilla wine without issues - so all those WoW Wine packages have become obsolete) wine-key: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=30473 (maintainer claims that "the key repeat bug has been fixed a loooong time ago") Thanks for your time, Det
