[aur-general] Frupple delete request
by Nathan O 28 Aug '10

28 Aug '10

Also another package I am requesting to be deleted is frupple http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=28699 It doesn't run. I would attempt to send a bug report to the author, but it seems the author no longer maintains it anymore. If I remember correctly, the site states the file was uploaded on "2008-07-31" Thanks

Can somebody delete FSirc http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=20459 . The author no longer has it listed on his site, and I found a git page for it, but the last update was in 2008. Nothing is listed as depending on fsirc. Thanks

[aur-general] lib32-libstdc++5?
by Ng Oon-Ee 28 Aug '10

28 Aug '10

Hi all, Just realized http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=11191 is orphaned, and that there's quite a few comments below specifying exactly how to update it. Considering how many packages depend on it, I'm surprised its orphaned, but when I checked the PKGBUILD its a well-recognized name. Should I just adopt this package to update it and orphan it? Or is it more polite to wait for Pierre since I think its his package based on the name there. Or does the orphan indicate he doesn't want this package anymore? Thanks. Ng Oon-Ee

[aur-general] Orphan (adoption) request for x48 and delete request for x48-emulator
by René Herman 28 Aug '10

28 Aug '10

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 There are two versions of the package on the AUR, x48 and x48-emulator but both are out of date and unfortunately neither listed maintainer (also CCed) has responded to email.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

[aur-general] Changes to AUR and community due to the multilib repository
by Thomas Bächler 27 Aug '10

27 Aug '10

With the creation of the [multilib] repository, all 32-bit libraries are now installed in /usr/lib32 and compiled from source using the gcc-multilib package instead of being copied from i686 packages. All AUR users maintaining lib32-* and bin32-* packages are encouraged to adapt their packages to the new layout. All trusted users who want to maintain 32 bit packages should join the arch-multilib mailing list and ask for access there. The x86_64 community repository should remain lib32-free in the future.
