by Diego Principe 06 Jul '13

06 Jul '13

Hi TUs! Unfortunately Songbird is no longer maintained, it is a dead project. Some time ago it was forked in Nightingale which is still developed. Whereby I propose to merge: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/songbird-bin/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/songbird-bin64/ IN https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/nightingale/ AND https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/bin32-songbird-nightly/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/songbird-nightly-bin/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/songbird-svn/ IN https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/nightingale-git/ Diego

[aur-general] Some package deletion requests
by Kevin Vesga 06 Jul '13

06 Jul '13

I request that linux-lqx-3.1 [1] and xmms-skins [2] be deleted as their source(s) are no longer available. In addition gtranslate [3] should be deleted since it relies on an API that is no longer available hence making it useless. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/linux-lqx-3.1/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xmms-skins/ [3] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gtranslate/

by gt 06 Jul '13

06 Jul '13

I would request that the AUR packages dcron and dcron-git be orphaned. dcron has been flagged since one month and I even contacted the maintainer through email on 21st June, but no reply. And, dcron-git too has been flagged since one month, but I haven't tried contacting the author personally.

[aur-general] Delete request - cacheclean
by member graysky 06 Jul '13

06 Jul '13

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/cacheclean/ Now that paccache is out, I have deleted the upstream code from my github and my http server. Recommend removing the PKGBUILD from the AUR since I am upstream.

[aur-general] Looking For A Sponsor
by Iru Cai 05 Jul '13

05 Jul '13

Hi everyone, I'm interested in becoming a TU. I've used Arch for more than a year. Before I used Arch, I had been a Fedora user for about half a year. I also tried some other Linux distros such as Debian,Gentoo, and LFS. I'm now a student in college, and I'm an active participant in the Linux Club of my school. I think I've gained enough knowledge to use Linux proficiently. Now I'm eager to be a contributor to the Linux user group instead of just a user. Arch is my favorite Linux distribution. I've seen the 'Arch is the best' wiki page and forum thread, and I believe that Arch is the best. I submitted my first package to AUR soon after I became an Arch user. Now I have only 18 packages in AUR, and most of them are adopted, but I believe I can do better. As a student in college, I'd like to maintain packages that students need, such as BBS Clients(FQTerm,PCManX,etc.), science tools(gnome-chemistry-utils,some octave packages,etc.). As a member of the Linux Club, I've seen a lot of software Linux users like, which is still in AUR, such as screen-message,debootstrap,etckeeper. I also like to visit websites about Linux, and get to know a lot of new software. I also like to share them with other users. I can write in bash, and familiar with C/C++. I'm also interested in functional programming languages like Scheme and Haskell, though I'm not good at them. I have enough spare time to maintain the packages, and communicate with others in the mailing list. I've read the TU wiki page and TU Bylaws, and I think I met the requirements for becoming a TU. More information about me: I'm 21 years old, studying in Peking University, China, majoring in computer science. Username of AUR,Wiki,Forum,and Bug Tracker: mytbk My AUR packages: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/?SeB=m&K=mytbk Sincerely Yours, Iru Cai
