[aur-general] Merge request
by Alexej Magura 14 Jul '13

14 Jul '13

perl-println is the same thing as perl-printer, except older and no longer under active development. Could yall please merge perl-println and perl-printer--and I've tried to notify the maintainer that the SOURCE urls are no longer valid and that he needs to change them to the new ones--all he needs to do is just switch 'agalog' to 'hav3lock' and the links will be valid again. perl-println https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/perl-println/<https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/perl-printer/> perl-printer https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/perl-printer/ Thank you -- Alexej Magura Give a little more for a little less today. :)

[aur-general] Various requests

Google Reader is gone, does it make these packages obsolete? https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/vim-googlereader/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/conkygooglereader-bzr/ What do we do about packages "flagged" by the robot: I am a robot. AUR guidelines suggest to not include binaries. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/client4rj/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/mac4lin-gtk2-theme/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/splashy-themes Merge * Votes from https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gxneur-svn/ with https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gxneur-unstable/ ? According to the comments on https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gxneur-svn/ gxneur uses hg now + the svn version source is unavailable. * Votes from https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/lazr.restful/ with https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python2-lazr-restful/ * https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/kontrollerlab-svn/ ==> Connecting to sourceforge.net SVN server.... svn: E195012: Unable to find repository location for 'https://kontrollerlab.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/kontrollerlab/trunk' in revision 168 ==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build(). Aborting... There is non-svn kontrollerlab in the AUR that is up to date and maintained - https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/kontrollerlab/ , so I think we can remove or merge kontrollerlab-svn.

[aur-general] Deletetion request: recorder
by Edoardo Maria Elidoro 14 Jul '13

14 Jul '13

Hi everyone, this package[1] is orphaned and no longer developed upstream, it also has a very dangerous bug that can delete all user /home. I think it would be better to remove this from AUR. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/recorder/ Have a nice day, Edoardo

[aur-general] Deletetion request: geant4-deb
by Edoardo Maria Elidoro 14 Jul '13

14 Jul '13

Hi everyone, this [1] is basically an outdated version of this [2]. The only difference (aside from the slightly older version) is that it uses .deb as sources and it uses just a package instead of multiple (and more convenient) split-packages. I think it should be removed. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/geant4-deb/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/geant4/ Have a nice day, Edoardo

[aur-general] Discussion about roblox package
by Edoardo Maria Elidoro 14 Jul '13

14 Jul '13

Hi everyone, I found this package in AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/roblox/ Do we really need packages that simply download an .exe file and chmod a simple bash script to run it? Have a nice day, Edoardo

[aur-general] Orphan request: gprbuild
by Sietse van der Molen 14 Jul '13

14 Jul '13

gprbuild (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gprbuild/) in the aur is the 2011 version, lots happened since then. The maintainer is not responding and most of his packages are from the 2011/early 2012 era. Thanks, Sietse

[aur-general] Problem with a package maintainer / versioning in the PKGBUILD [ponymix-git]
by Richard Schwab 13 Jul '13

13 Jul '13

Hi there, today I noticed that there was a newer PKGBUILD for the package ponymix-git available, because I noticed an update in the package on another system. After that I wondered why I didn't see an update notification in cower and noticed that the package version I had installed was recognized as greater version number than the new version. [2013-07-13 16:48] [PACMAN] downgraded ponymix-git (20130329-1 -> 1.2.g60328ca-1) After seeing that I contacted the maintainer and asked him to add an epoch ( https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PKGBUILD#epoch ) to the PKGBUILD to have it recognizing the newer version, but he refused to do so, telling me he'd be aware of how the versions are compared and told me to "complain to every other maintainer on the AUR that their VCS package needs an epoch". https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ponymix-git/ -- Sincerely Richard Schwab
