[aur-general] Greetings - Ghost1227
by Ghost 23 Oct '08

23 Oct '08

My name is Dan Griffiths and I am a 26-year-old independent contractor in Delaware, US. I have been using one form of *NIX or another for most of my life, wandering through MINIX, RedHat, Mandrake, Slackware, Debian, Gentoo and even two home made distros before finally finding Arch about a year ago. I instantly fell in love with Arch and haven't looked back once. I am currently maintaining 32 packages in the AUR, including one of my own (co-written) scripts. I go by the name Ghost1227 on the bugtracker, AUR, Wiki and on IRC. Simply put, I'm eternally grateful for the work others have put into making this such an incredible distribution and would now like to give something back to that community. I understand that at the moment there has been a bit of an influx of new TUs and as such some of you may (understandable) want to wait a while before adding anyone new to the list. As such, I thought I should introduce myself and give you all a chance to get to know me and take a look at my work without needing an immediate response. Take your time to get comfortable with the new additions, and when you are ready (and I have found a sponsor), I will still be waiting. Thank you all for your indulgence in my little rant and I hope to see you all around the community!

I do use some of the older madwifi stuff. Um, can you be specific as to the EXACT *and* correct (full) names of the files you are talking about ?

[aur-general] Drop madwifi-injection
by Daenyth Blank 23 Oct '08

23 Oct '08

I wanted to get people's opinions before I acted on this. The madwifi-injection package is outdated, and from several reports, the core madwifi drivers now provide this. Is there any reason to keep the package on AUR, or should I just delete it?

[aur-general] TU request
by Edward Tjörnhammar 22 Oct '08

22 Oct '08

Hello archers! I'm likely a new face to all of you but non the less applying for the role of TU. My name is Edward Tjörnhammar, is 26 and use Archlinux extensively both private and professionally. Two of the things which appeals me the most are that it never gets in your face and that the package system is pretty much crystal. I have been using GNU/Linux in some form, and no specific order, as Gentoo/Arch/Slax/Debian/Slackware since 2001. I studied CS at RIT (kth.se) in Stockholm where my specialization was(and is) in parallel and distributed systems. I work as a research engineer at the swedish defence research agency (foi.se) at information systems at the department of informatics. Before that I worked as a developer at a tactical dogfight simulator, which ran on IRIX machines. Programming and its facets is my main hobby and I, as such, have a working knowledge of many different languages/systems. I recently contributed a package 'inn' which I intend to continue working on. The package was added to [community] so I will continue with as inn-orig in AUR, user xhemi. If I were to become TU I believe that I can help to improve any number of packages in need of love but would continue with 'inn'. My sponsor is Sergej Pupykin. -- Edward Tjörnhammar

[aur-general] Duplicate Package Names
by Jud 21 Oct '08

21 Oct '08

Too many recent packages have been named the same as the "official package", this could easily get out of hand, what can be done about it? Discussion Points: - better education and parenting? - better message on AUR page? - code to detect package name and disallow/delete package? - hit uploader with big stick? - faster updates of "offical" Repo packages?

by Xavier 15 Oct '08

squirrelmail exists in both extra (1.5.2cvs-7) and community (1.4.16-2). Is this normal? If both versions are needed, maybe the first package should be renamed to squirrelmail-cvs or similar.

[aur-general] old tarball recovery?
by Mads Michelsen 15 Oct '08

15 Oct '08

Feeling incredibly daft about this... I adjusted the PKGBUILD for a module i maintain and uploaded it straight away after buildng succesfully. It thus overwrote the old tarball which contained the PKGBUILD plus a patch and an install script. In a stroke of brilliance I then proceeded to delete my local build files and try the new PKGBUILD via yaourt.... Needless to say it doesn't work. This is about as stupid as it gets. I'm having photorec trying to recover the local files but I'm not particularly hopeful. Any chance of recovery on the server? The package is fsaa1655g. - Chochem

Re: [aur-general] "Can't create directory" bug and inaccessible files
by rabyte 15 Oct '08

15 Oct '08

It's several: eduke32-clean, adonthell-wastesedge, alephone, chocolate-doom-svn, probably others... I just updated the darkplaces package, and guess what? It worked! Probably because I created the tgz file using my own "maketar" script (uses standard tar instead of bsdtar btw). So I guess the error really is related to a bug in makepkg. -- Follow The White Rabyte . . .

Your PKGBUILD shows me that you did read the packaging guidelines and recent advices. There have always be discussions about adding a package hat already has a counterpart in some official repo. Normally such packages should not go to AUR and will be deleted. On the other hand we have mplayer-nogui or such things. Maybe this package is another example from that rule. IMHO in packages with many different configure options to choose some of them and to leave ot others can be a contribution of its own. So I would say, go for it. But there my be other opinions.

However, I don't think there is any policy about this. I have seen some "custom" tags, which I can't remember exactly and of course much misuse of the maintainer tag - I am guilty of that one myself. What one could do to prevent further misuse of the Maintainer tag would be introducing a new tag like AUR-Maintainer and put it in the wiki. Notice that this is just an example, I wouldn't be against calling this different. It wouldn't stop the "Maintainer Tag problem" all at once, but it might help reducing it.

[aur-general] TU Application
by Evangelos Foutras 09 Oct '08

09 Oct '08

Hello, My name is Evangelos Foutras. I'm 20 years old and currently a student of Informatics at the University of Piraeus in Athens, Greece. I had my first taste of GNU/Linux a few years back with Mandrake 9.0 (if I remember correctly) that came with a magazine I bought. I didn't know much about computers back then and gave up quickly. Since then, I used Windows (2000 and then XP) pretty much until 2007. At that time I discovered Ubuntu and started messing around with it, setting my system to dual-boot XP and Ubuntu. I gradually increased the time spent on Ubuntu especially during the summer of the same year, and finally dumped Windows all together on Oct 20 2007. I've never looked back since. During this one and a half year, I've tried several distributions, including Fedora and Debian; they were alright. I really liked that Fedora shipped with very up-to-date software and I still use Debian for server environments. My first Arch installation was done this spring but for some reason I can't recall, I went back to Ubuntu the following day. My next Arch encounter I owe to Alex Cartwright, founder of TangoCMS[1]. He had recently switched to Arch himself and urged me to give it another try. This time I got to understand and love the Arch Way, so I didn't bounce. "Love at second sight", I guess. Currently, I maintain 8 packages in AUR. Two of them feature (crappy) software I've authored, two others are new contributions and the rest are orphans I've adopted. I'm somewhat experienced at C, Python, PHP and Bash, skills which have aided in handling issues that arise when packaging a piece of software. Let me say that I'm amazed at the quality of the distribution as a whole, and the tools that have been developed for it. The community is wonderful as well, composed of smart and skillful people who enjoy being of assistance to others. I'd like to get more involved in Arch and help wherever I can; therefore I'm applying for TUship. Daenyth has offered to be my sponsor and I sincerely thank him for that. :) Feel free to ask me any questions you might have. Kind regards, ------------ [1] http://www.tangocms.org/

Why this one? glib2-docs 2.18.0-1 taken by sergej gtk2+extra 2.1.1-1 dependency for gpsim, maybe the maintainer wants to take it kdvdauthorwizard 1.4.6-4 ? ktechlab 0.3.6-1 depends on gpsim openlh-server 0.1-4 openlh-client is maintained opensips 1.4.2-4 taken by sergej qmc2 0.2.b4-1 ? qstardict 0.12.9-2 taken by sergej sarg 2.2.3.1-1 taken by sergej scilab 4.1.2-4 taken by sergej sofia-sip 1.12.7-1 taken by sergej telepathy-glib 0.7.10-1 ? wqy-bitmapfont 0.9.9-4 Is there any chinese-speaking TU around? wqy-zenhei 0.6.26-1 Is there any chinese-speaking TU around? xgl 0.0.1.20080407-1 does not build for me IMHO the wqy fonts should be preferably maintained by someone who at least has some basic knowledge of chinese language. If there is no TU, they should be moved to unsupported. Regards Stefan

Hi all, This idea was originally sent in this thread: http://archlinux.org/pipermail/aur-general/2008-May/007539.html At the end, we didn't decide a final day, but the work was done, so I propose another CleanUp Day following the model that we used the last time. http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR_CleanUp_Day --> here you can obtain information and put suggestion, ideas, etc. What do you recommend to maintain a more efficient thread?, a post on the forum ? and what do you suggest for the Day that we will do the clean.?.

Hi fellas, there is a new list of packages which are orphans, many of them, could be dependences of other packages which are adopted, if this is the case, please TUs adopt all dependencies of their packages. The following list are the packages which i am talking about: dvd-slideshow 0.8.0-4 eclipse-mylyn 3.0.0-1 gambas 1.0.19-1 glib2-docs 2.18.0-1 gtk2+extra 2.1.1-1 kdvdauthorwizard 1.4.6-4 ktechlab 0.3.6-1 openlh-server 0.1-4 opensips 1.4.2-4 qmc2 0.2.b4-1 qstardict 0.12.9-2 sarg 2.2.3.1-1 scilab 4.1.2-4 sofia-sip 1.12.7-1 telepathy-glib 0.7.10-1 wqy-bitmapfont 0.9.9-4 wqy-zenhei 0.6.26-1 xgl 0.0.1.20080407-1 Many were maintained by DaNiMoTh, since his resign we adopt many of his packages, but the rest still orphans, please new TUs adopt some of them if you consider able to maintain it, else I want to propose an date for move these packages to unsupported. 21/10/2008 (two weeks) sounds good to me.

[aur-general] Apology
by Robert Emil Berge 06 Oct '08

06 Oct '08

Hello everybody, I write this to apologise for my sudden disappearance several months ago. There's really no excuse for a TU to do such a thing, and I wish I had been able to tell you before I went away. This is not an excuse, just me saying I'm sorry, and that you'll probably see me around a bit again. A short explanation. Don't read on if you're not interested :) My work and studies, which aren't computer related, was very demanding for a while, and I used my Linux hobby to run away and not get anything done. So, when my email configuration got destroyed, I used that as a chance to force myself to concentrate on my work. I just didn't re-configure and actually cut myself off from the internet for a few months. Things are much calmer now, and I appreciate using and experimenting with Arch Linux very much, so I have decided to re-connect. Robert Emil Berge (filoktetes)

[aur-general] eclipse-qt4

Hello everyone! I maintain eclipse-qt4 in Aur. Currently the package is in error and I am unable to update it because my Arch box died yesterday (Grrr....). This package has 37 votes and some users depends on it. I would like to know: 1- Is it possible to some TU to update this package and put it in community? I think it could be a great addition. 2- If no TU is available, could a user update my package and orphan it after that? I will take it again when my new computer will be build. Thank everyone, Regard. -- Shaika-Dzari http://www.4nakama.net

[aur-general] New users and groups
by Lukáš Jirkovský 05 Oct '08

05 Oct '08

Hi, I've to introduce some new users in my ossec packages. My question is: may I use specific uid's and gids in PKGBUILD or I've to use adduser and groupadd etc. in install? The problem is that if I use adduser, groupadd and chown in install script pacman complains everytime when I run update of this package. And it's of course very messy way of doing it so. On the other hand, there can be conflicts with existing users and groups. What should I do? Regards Lukas 'stativ' Jirkovsky

[aur-general] Plans for packages in community
by stefan-husmann＠t-online.de 26 Sep '08

26 Sep '08

Hello, first of all congrats to Kessia and Paulo and good luck. I also have some questions. On BBS there was a discussion about having the documentation of the TeXlive packages available in some repo. There are some up-upstream authors of CTAN-packages who strongly want the documentation being made available in every distribution. On the other hand Arch politics also say that sdocumentation should be made available. So Firmicus asked me if I want to maintain the docus in community. These would be the packages 4868099 texlive-bibtexextra-doc/texlive-bibtexextra-doc-2008.10643-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz 214408939 texlive-core-doc/texlive-core-doc-2008.10646-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz 20710413 texlive-fontsextra-doc/texlive-fontsextra-doc-2008.10613-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz 1757920 texlive-formatsextra-doc/texlive-formatsextra-doc-2008.-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz 2794585 texlive-games-doc/texlive-games-doc-2008.-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz 2514887 texlive-genericextra-doc/texlive-genericextra-doc-2008.-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz 224299 texlive-htmlxml-doc/texlive-htmlxml-doc-2008.-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz 8765996 texlive-humanities-doc/texlive-humanities-doc-2008.-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz 483826 texlive-langcjk-doc/texlive-langcjk-doc-2008.-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz 2186946 texlive-langcyrillic-doc/texlive-langcyrillic-doc-2008.-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz 7552430 texlive-langextra-doc/texlive-langextra-doc-2008.-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz 1866546 texlive-langgreek-doc/texlive-langgreek-doc-2008.-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz 1879228 texlive-latex3-doc/texlive-latex3-doc-2008.-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz 178688742 texlive-latexextra-doc/texlive-latexextra-doc-2008.10642-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz 2582106 texlive-music-doc/texlive-music-doc-2008.-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz 7200588 texlive-pictures-doc/texlive-pictures-doc-2008.10648-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz 1079978 texlive-plainextra-doc/texlive-plainextra-doc-2008.-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz 121885850 texlive-pstricks-doc/texlive-pstricks-doc-2008.10641-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz 22512122 texlive-publishers-doc/texlive-publishers-doc-2008.10647-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz 10615573 texlive-science-doc/texlive-science-doc-2008.-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz sum (in bytes) 614579073 Exactly the same package sizes would be in community64 for x86_64 architecture. The packages are arch independent, though. What do you think? Are they too big? What are the plans about having a repo for architecture independent packages? Aonther question: there is a package named sage-mathematics in the AUR. It has been orphaned, so I updated it. The PKGBUILD downloads an about 200 MB tarball, the resulting package has 560 MB and unpacks to more than a gigabyte. Moreover, it comes with its own package manager, and consists of sub-packages, that partially are already included in Arch, i.e. python, maxima, octave... Should this go to community? What are your opinions? Regards Stefan

[aur-general] What's goin on with Asterisk on Arch Linux?
by Marcelo Cavalcante 25 Sep '08

25 Sep '08

Hi everyone... Today i decided to start creating the [1]OpenR2 package for Arch Linux. OpenR2 is a library that implements the MFC/R2 telephony signaling protocol over E1 lines. Along with the library, branches for Asterisk are provided with MFC/R2 support in chan_zap. Well done, as my first move i decided to check in AUR if someone else had already thought about this package. The package isn't there. Great. So, I decided to take a look at our repos and search for asterisk. [kalib@tuxcaverna ~]$ sudo pacman -Ss asterisk Senha: [kalib@tuxcaverna ~]$ I realized that we don't have asterisk in our "pacman". I can't believe it. Asterisk is such an important package. I saw it on AUR. How can we have the package into our "regular" repos? Only if a TU addopt it?

[aur-general] TU Application
by Imanol Celaya 25 Sep '08

25 Sep '08

Hello, My name is Imanol Celaya, I'm 19 years old and I'm studying Electrical Engineering in Bilbao, Spain. On the forums and irc you can find me as ornitorrincos. I started on linux on 2003 and first used fedora core, then debian and finally arch since late 2006 testing some more like gentoo, solaris, and openbsd on dual boot. a bit later I got involved in the Spanish arch community translating the docs and one iso installer. I'm also developing pyalpm [http://pyalpm.sourceforge.net] (not the 2005's attempt using ctype, but using distutils) I'm also one of the developers of the bot on #archlinux-es [github.com/ornitorrincos/archinator] As you can see with some of my packages [http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?SeB=m&K=ornitorrincos] I'm interested in packaging for arch some developer tools(as NetBSD's make and the TenDRA C compiler, svn at the moment as the latest "stable" release is from 1998 but I wouldn't mind try to package it if somebody wants it), of course, I'd be interested in packaging some more C/C++ compilers(which are not gcc, variety is a good thing), I'm also interested in python, EDA software and 3d apps. If possible I also plan to package some GPGPU software. I have both a x86_64 machine and a i686 machine with arch installed. On my free time I like to go out with some friends, see a movie or do 3d modeling. I've been some time wanting to be a TU and angvp told me that when I feel prepared I could ask him to be my sponsor, and as today I feel prepared to apply angvp is my sponsor. Greetings, Imanol

They are formally well written IMHO. 4l: Dependency to gcc is not needed, it is in base-devel, and you have a mkdir -p which should be a install -d You can consider to replace $startdir/src with $srcdir and $startdir/pkg with $pkgdir in some PKGBUILDS. But that are minor issues. Can you please explain what EDA and GPGPU means? I did a little googling, but the pages I found go far beyond my skills in computer science. Do you have some projects for packaging in mind in that direction? Regards Stefan

[aur-general] pkgrel updates
by Allan McRae 24 Sep '08

24 Sep '08

Hi TUs, I was looking at the pkg_diff page in order to build some packages for community64 and noticed something I found a bit worrying and after much thought, I decided to bring it up. It could all be entirely legitimate and if so I apologize. A large portion of recent updates (~2/3) are only bumped in the pkgrel, i.e. no pkgver update. While I realize some of these will be legitimate rebuilds, it is a bit of a concern to me given nothing major has moved from the testing repo and I don't recognize the packages from bug reports. I haven't looked at whose packages these are (and at this stage, I honestly don't care), but it seems a reminder about quality control on the packaging front is needed. I don't mean to sound overly grumpy, but this costs users and the mirrors bandwidth as well as giving the few x86_64 using TUs more work. I really don't like writing emails like this. We can all make good packages or else we wouldn't be TUs. So please double check your packages before uploading them. Regards, Allan

[aur-general] Stopping Arch contribuiting
by DaNiMoTh 21 Sep '08

It's with a lot of sadness that I say "bye!" to archlinux. My life is changing ( I will go to live in another city with some friends ), with only an Apple Powerbook (powerPC machine). The arch machine will remain at my sister ( I hope she learn about arch and its pkgs.. and will apply for TUship here :] ). Sorry, in this moment I can't find the right word. I hope you will comprehend me. Thank you all

I'd like to adopt this package to update it (from 0.6.3 to 0.6.8) and fix its PKGBUILD (include man pages, fix the license tag, add an arch tag, etc.). Thanks.

[aur-general] pkgs with tetex dependency
by Firmicus 17 Sep '08

17 Sep '08

Hello all, As you may have noticed, my texlive-* pkgs have disappeared from community and brand new ones have replaced tetex in extra. Here are community packages that depend on tetex: gri prosper lilypond texvc auctex python-pyx yfklog Thanks for eventually fixing these! Also, I just added tetex to unsupported, and the web interface tells me that tetex is a dependency of the following pkgs (excluding the above): advi algorithmicx * arabtex * cjk-gbkfonts csindex dblatex eqe fig2ps foiltex fuzz gastex * hlatex klatexformula kletterwizard latex-beamer * latex-fitch lgrind athtex pdfjam pdfselect pidgin-latex svninfo * tex-cases * texlipse tex-unicode * vlna * wyneken xindy * NB: those with a star * are already provided by one of the texlive-* pkgs in extra, and IMO should be deleted. Question: should I move tetex to community? I would prefer not, since it is REALLY outdated, but some users may prefer using it rather than the bleeding-edge but quite larger combination texlive-core + texlive-bin. Best, F

[aur-general] TU Application
by Paulo Matias 12 Sep '08

12 Sep '08

Hi, My name is Paulo Matias. I'm 19 years old, and I'm currently at the third year of a four-year Bachelor of Computational Physics course at University of Sao Paulo, Brazil. I'm a Linux user since 1998, when I started using Conectiva Linux. This was my main distribution until 2003, when I changed to Debian-based distributions. Then I switched to Gentoo at 2005. Finally, since about one year, Arch Linux has become my distribution of choice. I was very attracted by the lack of bureaucracy and by the warm and friendly community. I'm a programmer experienced in C, C++, Python, Ruby, JavaScript, AWK, PHP, Java and Fortran77 languages. I've learned something about Lua and Haskell, too. I have written some open source projects: trayion, samsutools, qvm, opensvs, pycyber, fastsight, ziprecv, gcbq, stegomaster, ruby-v4l, The Damn Small OS's VM, MPBot addons, BRNews and K-Lite Linux. I currently mantain some packages at AUR, notably the VirtualBox PUEL edition packages and Open Sound System (OSS) related packages, among others. My packages are listed at http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?SeB=m&K=thotypous. I often contribute to packages not maintained by me. I had recently contributed to the iverilog, vmware-player-modules and qc-usb packages. I was already experienced at packaging software for NetBSD, as a pkgsrc-wip project contributor. My packages at pkgsrc are listed at http://pkgsrc.se/bbmaint.php?maint=matias|a|dotbsd.org. I had packaged software there whose packages are currently maintained by others too, such as gnash and ghc. I recently started to develop some projects directly related to Arch Linux, namely arch-sheriff and pkgbuildtools. The arch-sheriff project is security-related and was recently presented at Arch mailing lists by our friend Hugo Doria. The pkgbuildtools project is currently being planned, and will provide some tools inspired by pkgsrc pkgtools and infrastructure. I'm an official member of the ArchLinux Brasil group, and have a blog (in Portuguese) at http://matias.archlinux-br.org and some stuff at http://matias.archlinux-br.org/files. Hugo Doria has offered to be my sponsor as a Trusted User. I hope to bring more useful packages to community and to help managing AUR. Currently, I sadly don't own any x86_64 capable machine. I will be happy to answer any question. Best regards, Paulo Matias

[aur-general] TU Application
by Kessia 'even' Pinheiro 12 Sep '08

12 Sep '08

Hi, My name is Kessia Pinheiro (a.k.a even), I'm a 22 years old finishing my computer scientist degree at Federal University of Bahia in Salvador/Bahia/Brazil. I'm working now part-time on sysadmin stuff's (as treinee). I've used Linux since 2004, with Slackware, but I had problems with many things and decided switch to another distro. I tried many light distros, but none was completed to me. So I discovered Arch in 2006 and I got involved with the brazilian community, helping people and writting some docs [1]. Me and my friends (hdoria and dsa) did a speech about ArchLinux in FISL [2] this April in Porto Alegre/Brazil. Other contribution is the pacupdate (developed with hdoria), a tray notifier for new updates for pacman [3]. Recently I'm interested in packaging for Arch, because some applications I used aren't in the repositories. Before Arch, I packaged a private .deb for my work, finally I sweat a lot and I couldn't remember exactly what I did, but i did it. So, I discover the Arch way to package and in few minutes my package was at AUR, I was so happy! So, now my contributions with PKGBUILDs are 16 [4] and growing. I'm packaging some stuff's that i have not found in repositories and these are helpful for some people. I'm also adopting some to help the number of orphans be lower. So, as a TU, my plans are help manage AUR and community repo, also trying alert the contributors about problems with their PKGBUILDs, because many packages are out of date for a long time or with incomplete PKGBUILDs or incorrect. I want to help with some security apps too (my major contribution was snort package, hdoria adopted it in extra), helping to make more eyes at the security topic. My main machine is a Dell laptop and i am using Arch i686 (but this laptop has an x86_64 architecture, so I'll install Arch64 this week). I have an old machine at work, but normally I use the laptop there too. My boyfriend also have the same laptop with Arch i686. In my free time I like stay with my boyfriend, play videogames, listen music, read things are out of my degree course, viewing tv series. Oh, the last thing, hdoria and angvp encouraged me to do this proposal, in fact they fought for who will be my sponsor, but angvp finally push more and he wins. However, hdoria is a friend of mine and he will share the sponsor with angvp (to be fair and no one cry). =) Let's start the questions, I'm honored to answer. Thanks for your time!

Xavier, sorry for the late response. I think this bug (8672) and 11187 are actually the same and I just managed to find a separate bug which was preventing uploads of dependencies. Removing directories would not have remedied the bug that was solved. I'll close this and continue the line of investigation via 11187 since there are more relevant details about the bug there. I believe that the list of bad directories at http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR_CleanUp_Day is still pretty relevant. We can now automate removal of all files of packages that aren't in the database. Since users can no longer delete packages, so there's little chance of malicious adoption then deletion of packages. I think using the wiki page to list bad directories is a great idea. I've edited the bug report (11187) directing users to do that.

Hi TUs, In case you have missed it, there is an ncurses rebuild that is now finished in the [testing] repos. This requires most (if not all) programs that link to ncurses to be rebuilt. Depending on sign-offs, I am aiming to move this near the end of next week so it would be good to have your rebuilds ready to upload when this happens. I'll let you know closer to the time a more precise day for the move. Allan PS. We really need a [community-testing] repo.

Re: [aur-general] [arch-dev-public] Cleaning up the base group

> Packages that we should think about: > - mdadm > - pcmciautils > - cryptsetup, lvm2 (plus their deps libgcrypt, libgpg-error, device-mapper) > Those are base tools, but not everybody needs them. I'd like to keep > them in base, but maybe someone else may disagree. I just want to point out a few ways i know these are used and a few things that need to be checked and patched before removing them. 1. These are all in rc.sysinit. the mdadm and cryptsetup sections do not test if the binaries exist before trying to run them, just if the configs exist. this could create exciting panics or other fun behavior if someone enables it in rc.conf without adding the packages. but a fix is a simple -x test added to the beginning of those sections. 2. setup(installer) will need to know it should add packages if you answer yes to the various raid/lvm/encrypted questions. in the worst case this would break ftp installs. Ensuring the ftp installer isn't broken by this is my main concern. will someone test the existing installer to see if it breaks with these changes? Besides setup, these are mainly user errors. So at least it needs to be documented in the install guide. Jonathan

[aur-general] "Can't create directory" bug and inaccessible files

Finally I found that generating python code was a bit hackish and less flexible, so I reverted back to a DESC-like format, very easy to parse in python. And this is the namcap way : the python script just calls the bash parsing script then read and parse its output. I finished to implement all features the original script had, mostly the repo hierarchy one and circular deps checking. About circular deps, the old algorithm used was a bit messy and hard to understand, so I just chose to implement an existing one : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarjan%27s_strongly_connected_components_algor… This resulted in better and complete results, and also at a much better performance (old one took ~20 seconds in cygwin, new one is instant). The only feature that I refused to keep is the "Missing Repo Packages" one which checked the package existence on ftp.archlinux.org . This was the only one using network, and in my opinion, it does not have this place in this script. Instead, someone knowing the layout of the arch server could write another very simple script checking that all packages in the abs tree have a respective package in the package dir, if both happen to be on the same server. Enough with the technical details, here are the stripped results : 1) Results for core and extra $ ./check_packages.py --abs-tree=/var/abs --repos=core,extra Missing Dependencies ---------------------- archboot --> 'bcm43xx-fwcutter>=006-2' Missing Makedepends --------------------- wpa_supplicant --> 'kernel26<2.6.25' xosd --> 'xmms' flac --> 'xmms' Repo Hierarchy for Makedepends -------------------------------- core/iputils depends on extra/jade core/madwifi-utils depends on extra/sharutils core/e2fsprogs depends on extra/bc core/ca-certificates depends on extra/ruby core/madwifi depends on extra/sharutils Circular Dependencies ----------------------- glibc>bash>readline>ncurses>glibc db>coreutils>shadow>pam>db eclipse-ecj>gcc-gcj>eclipse-ecj 2) Results for community $ ./check_packages.py --abs-tree=/var/abs --repos=core,extra,community --exclude=core,extra Missing PKGBUILDs ------------------- community/kde/kdestyle-lipstik Missing Dependencies ---------------------- flumotion --> 'twisted-web' qc-usb --> 'kernel26<2.6.26' gg2 --> 'arts' eclipse-ve --> 'eclipse<3.3' man-pages-cs --> 'groff-utf8' Missing Makedepends --------------------- gensplash --> 'klibc-beyond' pygoocanvas --> 'pygobject-doc'

[aur-general] makepkg 3.2.1 testing
by Xavier 28 Aug '08

28 Aug '08

Hello, while pacman 3.2.0 release was quite good, makepkg one was a bit worse. I think the main cause is the lack of testing. I personally always use the devel versions of pacman and makepkg, but I use pacman daily, while I only use makepkg very irregularly. Anyway, the 3.2.1 release is close now, and all known makepkg bugs were fixed : - fix download functions with weird URLs (FS#11076) - fix creation of source package with local files (FS#11149) - fix error when sourcing profile scripts (FS#11179) - perform case-insensitive checksum comparison (FS#11283) For FS#11292 (handling multiple source files which have the same name), a new feature had to be introduced. it is now possible to use the filename of your choice for remote sources, like this : source=('filename::http://path/to/file') This allows to handle multiple source files with same name, and also to handle more nicely weird URLs like http://www.vim.org/scripts/download_script.php?src_id=6992. So if some of the intensive makepkg users could just grab this pre 3.2.1 release and simply check everything is still fine with their PKGBUILDs, or more specifically check that all the bugs mentioned here are fixed, or that the new filename feature correctly, that would be great. Simply gunzip the attached file, and either run it directly from where you extracted it, or put it somewhere in your path.

[aur-general] Hello (and kbib and yazpp packages)
by Peter Lewis 24 Aug '08

Hello! I'm pretty new to Arch, so thought I'd say hi. Also, I appear to have got involved in making pkgbuilds pretty soon too :-) I've taken over maintainership of KBib (a KDE bibliography manager) in the AUR, after an email exchange with the previous maintainer, who's no longer using Arch. I also had to create a pkgbuild for a depdenency, yaz++, the C++ bindings (so far as I can tell) for yaz, which is in community. They're both there under my name (petelewis) if anyone's interested. I'm not sure if the yaz maintainer might be interested in this... Anyway, so just thought I'd say hi, and if anyone has any feedback on these first two packages, that'd be much appreciated. :-) Pete.

[aur-general] Applying for TU-ship
by stefan-husmann＠t-online.de 23 Aug '08

23 Aug '08

Hello, my name is Stefan Husmann, I am 40 years old and live near Hanover in Germany. I am working for a big ITC company as system administrator and in projects. I was encouraged by Ángel Velásquez to apply for TU-status. With this mail I want to do that. At the time I maintain 108 packages in AUR. Not all of them were written my me, but some of them I made after package requests on archlinux.org. Also I am active in the forums at archlinux.org and archlinux.de. I consider myself still being in a learning phase. Two months or so I was not able to do a proper patching of packages, now I am. So packaging is a hobby to me now. I only own a i686 computer, have no experience with the x86_64 architecture. Building packages for both arches seems a lot of work to me, especially if you are bound to a remote machine. So as a TU I would have to concentrate a bit more on really important packages. But on the other hand it is hard for me to see orphaned packages lying around, an often I pick them. :) In the forums i act under my real name, in AUR I have a nick, haawda. I can change that if you mind. I speak german, english and with the help of dictionaries and a lot of time I might decrypt a french text also. Please consider voting for me. Sincerely Stefan

[aur-general] Makepkg does not include one file
by Dan Vratil 22 Aug '08

Hi, that's me again... I have a problem with makepkg...when making tarball for the nvidia-utils-beta package, I just enter the folder and run 'makepkg --source', which packs all files from 'source' +PKGBUILD into the tarball.... In nvidia-utils-beta, there is 'supported-cards.txt' file. When I use 'makepkg --source', it says -> Adding supported-cards.txt... But when I unpack the created tarball, there is just a symlink, which probably links itself. When I make the tarball manually using tar and gzip, everything works...this is extremely strange - it was always working, I don't understand what has happend. Please, any ideas?

[aur-general] e17 packages
by Ronald van Haren 21 Aug '08

21 Aug '08

Hi! This mail is intended for all e17 users, as well as people maintaining packages which depend on the e17 community packages. The people over at enlightenment thought it was a good idea to swith from CVS to SVN, rendering all PKGBUILDs more or less useless (the switch was completed at the 18th of August). What does this mean: - all community packages have been renamed to the new naming convention (all except e-modules-extra-svn have only changed from -cvs to -svn - in the progress of converting the PKGBUILDs two more packages have been included in [community], namely ewl-svn and elitaire-svn - if everything goes as planned the upgrade should be relatively painless except for the ones having additional AUR packages installed with an explicit dependency on a -cvs package instead of a dependency on the provides line which have always been there. In this case I suggest to remove these packages before the upgrade, and compile them with new depends after the upgrade. There is no need to force as you should need to rebuld those anyways ;) - for people maintaining packages from the official enlightenment mirrors, please change your packages to incorporate the switch to SVN. For the ones maintaining packages depending on any of the e17 community packages, be aware that the naming has changed. - the installation instructions are updated in the wiki (same as before only -svn instead of -cvs).

[aur-general] Foldingathome needs an update
by Nick 21 Aug '08

21 Aug '08

It seems the maintainer of foldingathome has been awol for over a year and the package needs lots of updates. Is there any chance this could get orphaned? Apologies if I'm using the wrong list, I haven't used this in a while...

[aur-general] 500 Haskell packages now in AUR
by Don Stewart 20 Aug '08

20 Aug '08

10 weeks after the Arch Haskell group started, there are now 500 Haskell packages bundled up for Arch. I've written about how we automated the construction of Arch packages from Haskell Cabal format, via the cabal2arch tool, and a small survey of 10 nice packages from the set, here, http://cgi.cse.unsw.edu.au/~dons/blog/2008/08/21#the_500 Cheers, Don

[aur-general] question about package naming conventions
by scrawler＠gmail.com 20 Aug '08

20 Aug '08

Howdy guys, I have the gnuserv package in the aur and it's named, amazingly enough, "gnuserv". I noticed, however, that most of the emacs-related packages in community have the form "emacs-whatever". So it would be easy enough to submit with the new name if someone would delete the old one for me. I haven't uploaded anything yet--I just tidied up the package according to suggestions from more knowledgeable guys at the forum. thanks. -- signature sneezing: "achoo!"

[aur-general] non-http aur access
by wakeup 18 Aug '08

18 Aug '08

Hi folks, I think there should be a way to access the AUR without having to use a full featured web browser, preferably a command-line client. I suggest exposing a db (like every repository got one) and an ftp site which contains the same as http://aur.archlinux.org/packages to public use. On that way one could easily write clients that fetch the db, perform queries offline and get the tarballs via ftp. I do realize that there is yaourt, but that work-around is not exactly what I thought of. What do you think? best regards, wakeup PS: This is my first post to this list, so if that idea is not new, please excuse me. :) -- An Ashanti Proverb from Ghana - It is because of beauty, that is why the woman holds her breasts when she runs, not because the breasts are going to fall -Fela Kuti

[aur-general] ACPI problem with latest kernel
by Dan Vratil 17 Aug '08

17 Aug '08

Hi there, I have MSI laptop. I know, MSI does not have the best ACPI tables (this one should have "Windows Vista Compatible" tables), but with previous versions of the linux kernel (2.6.25.x) it worked pretty well. After updating to 2.6.26.2, it really sucks...after few minutes ACPI just "shuts down" with no reports in dmesg or logs and does not start (in previous version it was shutting down to, but after about half a minute it has started again, running for following hour or more with no problems). Does someone has any little experiences about this? Do you think it is -ARCH problem, or it's bug from vanilla kernel? Thank you for any ideas. With regars Dan Vratil

If you use the testing repo and packages in community, be careful. Several community packages (and also packages built from custom/unsupported PKGBUILD) will break as they will need to be rebuild against the ncurses in testing. The community packages will be rebuilt once ncurses will be moved to core. Meanwhile, either stop using the testing repo or rebuild the packages yourself. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

[aur-general] UID/GID reservation request for pulseaudio
by bardo 17 Aug '08

17 Aug '08

I hope this is the right ML for asking this... another mail will follow with a similar request for vlock. I'm pulseaudio's maintainer in [community]. This package needs one user (pulse) and three groups (pulse, pulse-access, realtime) to work, but I couldn't find suggested ids for them. I didn't change the values I found when I inherited the package, so at the moment we have id 130 for pulse user and group and 131 for pulse-access. The 'realtime' group was added only recently, replacing the old pulse-rt, which had 132, and doesn't have any assigned gid, which is *bad*. It would be good to officially reserve a few ids for this package (130, 131 and 132, maybe?), also considering this package should someday go to extra... Corrado

[aur-general] new @ aur please help getting things right with package idjc
by das.t 17 Aug '08

17 Aug '08

hello people, i would like to introduce myself, i am tobias from leipzig, germany and as i love doing radio i love using idjc. after (partially) switching to arch and liking it i compiled it myself, just as i have done for more than a year now on debian. after discovering aur and seeing idjc is unsupported i decided that if i compile each new version myself i might as well help and try to get it updated in aur. unfortunately i am having very little time at the moment, leaving me no time for radio, yet i am trying my best to keep up with new releases. with the last release i had some problems (as mentioned in the forum, it did not build due to some changes in the place some headerfiles of ffmpeg got saved). unfortunately in the german forum i got into the way of a troll which discouraged me a bit for a while. as the latest version even did not work correctly on my own system and i had not enough time to check things out i had to delay working on it. anyway, i just uploaded a new PKGBUILD for the latest release of idjc. to my pleasure it built even without patching or the likes and installs correctly on my system and is working fine. right now i do not have the chance to test idjc on 64 bit, but i am going to install that again soon. i had a broken computer and had to start from scratch on a new machine. i would appreciate any help, i am willing to read manuals, already did read some aur related docs. i might be missing something. i know i am no programmer, i am still learning i just want to do my best and help. if i am missing something, please do tell me. most important: does it build for other people too? i have been broadcasting with radiotux.de from linuxtage chemnitz last linuxtag berlin last year and talking to people there i found that there is a great demand for an application like idjc. i would like to see it in arch and i would like to help others to use it in a simple way. this is my motivation. to give something back for all the great things i am receiving. humble greetings, das.t

[aur-general] x86_64 compilation box for devs and TUs
by Geoffroy Carrier 11 Aug '08

Hey! I have a new computer. I already gave access to a "prod" server to some TUs to compile for x86_64 systems. I will migrate their Unix accounts. I use this E-mail to notify them: port knocking isn't necessary anymore. Other devs and TUs can get an account by jabber/emailing me. I thank slubman very much for the CPU, motherboard, case, wifi card, etc. (people may know him from the archlinux.fr planet). He rocks (well, I need to say it as he will read this E-mail). root access via sudo will be provided in a first time, I might write some scripts to provide virtual machines to everyone later. Please makepkg -s and pacman -Rsc once done ;) SSH access won't be permanent: network connection kinda "sucks" (around 100kB/s upload), and I might use other OSes/move it from time to time. Here are the specs: Kernel : 2.6.25-ARCH CPU & Cache: Processor 0: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz 2400MHz, 4096 KB Cache Processor 1: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz 2400MHz, 4096 KB Cache Processor 2: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz 2400MHz, 4096 KB Cache Processor 3: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz 2400MHz, 4096 KB Cache 500GB (32MB cache) 7200rpm Seagate HD 4GB 800MHz 4-4-4-12 DDR2 RAM No [testing] on it, as I had problems with catalyst...

[aur-general] phpPgAdmin out-of-date
by Simon Streit 09 Aug '08

09 Aug '08

Hi, I'd like to point out, that the phpPgAdmin package in AUR is out of date. Furthurmore, $instdir in the PKGBUILD [1] doesn't point to the default directories of some web servers anymore.

[aur-general] TU Resignation
by Sebastian 09 Aug '08

09 Aug '08

Hi, With the heavy university load I will have this semester, I don't think I'll manage to keep up with the mailing list and updating packages. I have mostly stopped using Linux altogether, and the install that I do have is a bit of a mess, so maintaining packages has become more of a nuisance than something I enjoy. I wanted to become a TU mainly to learn the workflow of a TU and generally just find out how the AUR works from the perspective of a TU, in order to develop AUR2. I think I have mostly done that, but AUR2 development has ceased. Hopefully I (or someone else ;) ) will pick it up and finish it off. I just don't have the time right now. Luckily I don't have many packages in community. I didn't really get around to moving the ones I wanted from unsupported to community. The ones that are there are free for the taking, if anyone wants them. If not, I can move them to unsupported and try to keep maintaining them, or orphan them. I will try to maintain the ones in unsupported, they don't get updates very frequently (or at all). The packages in community are: dbhub dina-font offlineimap

[aur-general] galaxium package ownership

There's some strange issue with the galaxium package actually maintained by myself (previously). I mainted it until last week or so and can't remember having orphaned it. Then I found it to be "taken over" by somebody else, namely ekerazha. I mailed him asking what happened, no response. So I really don't know what happened, but I'd be grateful if I got it back :-) -- Follow The White Rabyte . . .

[aur-general] GID reservation request for vlock

Since the last few versions vlock requires a 'vlock' group, or another group that it is configured to use at build time. Vlock is a security program, so it would be better for it to have its own group, but I could also use an existing one, if someone can share a suggestion. Corrado

[aur-general] TU Application.
by Daenyth Blank 03 Aug '08

03 Aug '08

Hey all! I'm applying for a TU position, hopefully you'll consider me. My sponsor is Anders Bergh (anders). I go by the name Daenyth, and I've been using Linux for several years. I started on Slackware and switched to Arch about a year and a half ago. I'm 20, and I work as a sysadmin/tech support/office monkey at an ESL school in Boston. During my free time, I love listening to tons of music, chilling on IRC, and playing video games, among other things. I especially love playing around with pretty much anything Linux related. Right now I only maintain a handful of packages in the AUR[1], but I plan to expand what I have. One of my goals is to package lots of new software for Arch. I want Arch to be _the_ distro people talk about for package selection. I love the way Arch is designed, and the KISS philosophy, and I want to give back to the community that's been so wonderful to me. Currently my most popular package is "pkgtools". It's a bundle of things that I've written relating to arch packages. After collaborating with another author, I'll be including spec2arch, which is a tool aimed at helping developers provide basic PKGBUILD files from rpm .spec files. I also maintain a few Perl related packages, and hope to increase their number. I am one of the co-maintainers for the arch-games project[2]. For those who don't know, it's a user repo to provide binary packages for all the games in AUR, so that our users can more easily install them (many have long compile times or are otherwise annoying). Thanks for your consideration, --Daenyth [1] - http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?K=daenyth&SeB=m [2] - http://arch-games.twilightlair.net/wiki/index.php/Main_Page

[aur-general] prepare on KDE 4.1 move to [extra]
by Pierre Schmitz 02 Aug '08

02 Aug '08

Hi TU, KDE 4.1 will be moved to [extra] tonight or tomorrow. If you maintain packages in [community] which depend on KDE3 you might want to read this: * Look for a new upstream release which can be used with KDE 4. * If there is no new version change deps to kdelibs3 and try recompiling. * try sourcing qt3.sh and kde3.sh from /etc/profile.d/ * If configure fails try adding --without-arts. * Don't trust namcap saying there would be no dependency to kdelibs3. :-) * If the build still fails with some undefind references, try biulding in a clean environment without kdelibs-4 * If nothing helps your package might depend on stuff from kdebase or other KDE packages. You might think about removing it from [community] then.

[aur-general] Holidays

I'm going to the Italian Swimming Championship, then I'll go on holidays ( finally ) until... until... I don't know. Many things are changed from my application as a TU; I think I never come back, but who knows? So, this time is only for my absence. I know that there is a limits ( 3 months, am I right? ). I hope before November I take my decision... if not, I will be dropped automatically. Feel free to take any of my packages from now, don't wait. But I would like that compiz goes to extra. Maybe Monday ( the last day that I have internet here ) I could help to move some useless packages to unsupported. Finally, many thanks to ( random order ): - tpowa, the first that answer to my noob questions ( I know, those was other day, when the main reply wasn't: " Patch welcome " ); - molok and voidnull, that help me when I need help; - Italian #archlinux channel on Azzurra Network, I won't forget the time we have passed togheter ( maybe I will join, sometimes.. ); - Simo, Dan for the great arrogance that they use; - All the person who contribuiting with comments or bugreport to my packages. Maybe I forget someone; in this case, don't worry, I will remember you in the future, and I will repair with a beer :D Good luck to all.

[aur-general] Problem with compizconfig-backend-kconfig and KDE3
by DaNiMoTh 30 Jul '08

30 Jul '08

Hello to all, I am trying to compile this backend for ccsm with kde3 enabled, because with kde4 it seems don't work. So, I add to depends kdelibs3, qt3, added --without-arts, added source /etc/profile.d/{kde3,qt3}.sh, but in configure I read: checking for Qt... libraries /opt/qt/lib, headers /opt/qt/include using -mt checking for moc... /opt/qt/bin/moc checking for uic... /opt/qt/bin/uic checking whether uic supports -L ... yes checking whether uic supports -nounload ... yes checking if Qt needs -ljpeg... no checking for rpath... yes checking for KDE... libraries /opt/kde/lib, headers /usr/include What?!?! headers in /usr/include? Oh, no... and I can't compile it successful, because I have error like In file included from /usr/include/QtCore/qbasicatomic.h:209, from /usr/include/QtCore/qatomic.h:48, from /usr/include/QtCore/qvariant.h:47, from /usr/include/QtCore/QVariant:1, from /usr/include/kconfig.h:32, from kconfig_backend.cpp:24: /usr/include/QtCore/qatomic_arch.h:84:4: error: #error "Qt has not been ported to this architecture" kconfig_backend.cpp:29:23: error: kinstance.h: No such file or directory kconfig_backend.cpp:31:18: error: kipc.h: No such file or directory kconfig_backend.cpp:33:24: error: dcopclient.h: No such file or directory Also, the error that qt has not been ported to $CARCH (that is i686 in my case) is ridiculous ^^. I think the problem is that it use headers from /usr/include (kde4) that aren't like headers in kde3. Am I wrong in something? Thanks

It happens far too often that a message needs to be shown to the user only the first time a package gets upgraded because something important has changed. Without the need to modify anything we could use the parameters passed to post_upgrade: if the old version is affected by the change (can we use anything like vercmp in install files?) then the message will be shown, otherwise it won't. It's an extra effort on our side, but it helps a lot in cleaning up package installation output. Of course we'll also need to pay attention to when it's time to remove the message. I have other possible solutions in mind, but they all require changes to pacman or arch, and by far they aren't KISS. Any additional proposal or comment? Corrado

[aur-general] TU Application
by Jeff Horelick 30 Jul '08

30 Jul '08

Hi! My name is JD Horelick and i'd like to become a TU. I'm 23 and working as a sysadmin for a decent-sized company (linux and windows stuff). I first started with ArchLinux in early 2007 (if i had to guess) and ever since then, i've loved it. I think pacman is quite possibly the greatest package manager i've used and i think the PKGBUILD package format is quite nice. I haven't done a crazy amount of development on Arch, but i've been using linux since 1999 and i was a Debian Developer for ~3 years (where i maintained 10-15 packages). As a TU I will offer my knowledge, skills and time to improve my favourite distribution and it's packages. Some of my specific goals as a TU are: * Work on expanding the community repo (for example, clutter is in community, but clutter-gtk, clutter-cairo and clutter-gtk are still in AUR :( ). * Make sure packages in AUR/community are working. For example, i tried to build dpkg (i think...It's late) from aur a bit ago and the URL changed, if i was a TU (and i will probably do this tomorrow anyway), i would email the guy and say like: "Hey, please fix the 404 on your package or i'm going to take it over". * My goal is to upload, fix or update a minimum of 1 package a day. In my free time I like...wait...I have free time? ahh...but seriously, in my free time...Well...I'm a atypical computer geek...I like watching me some movies/TV, playing video games...goin out and doing some parkour...having fun. Oh, and tacos...Tacos FTW! The final thing, Allan was so kind as to sponsor my application and here is the list of packages i have uploaded to the AUR: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?SeB=m&K=jdhore Let's start up the inquisition :P Any questions and suggestions will be answered as quickly as possible (I'm usually around from 1PM EST to 5AM EST daily). Thank you all very much. I very much hope to become part of the Arch team. Sincerely, JD In case my AUR link gets buried/is hard to see: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?SeB=m&K=jdhore

Hey JD and the gang; No I am not intending to be "heaping it on" here, but alas I cannot let this go without comment. If you expected the TU community to not go and check your credentials then, as you can clearly see, it did not work.

[aur-general] Resignation
by Bjørn Lindeijer 24 Jul '08

24 Jul '08

Dear all, Even since I got a full time job back in September 2007, my time for TU duties has been limited. A few months ago I switched to a different DSL provider (since the previous one couldn't get their act together), and they gave me a PPPoE modem instead of a router, which I couldn't get to dial in on Arch Linux, which basically forced me to switch to something else, Ubuntu in this case (pppoeconf had it done in seconds). From then on it just went downhill. I kept updating and sometimes rebuilding packages on an Arch Linux installed on VirtualBox at work. However on each Ubuntu kernel upgrade it broke down and recently it seems to have done its last breath since it no longer boots after Arch Linux ran out of harddrive space while upgrading the kernel. I decided this is where it ends. I've really enjoyed Arch Linux while it last, and I think it really rocks for those who want to be always up to date and also easily package their own stuff, allowing for a convenient and complete management of all system files. However, frequent breaks and security problems (no doubt mostly my own fault) had already made me prefer other distributions on my laptop and server. I'll post my list of packages in a separate email. Thanks for several enjoyable years! Regards, Bjørn Lindeijer

Hi devs/Tus, I'll be on vacation from 9th of August (tomorrow) until 29th of August. During this time I will probably not check my mail at regular intervals so don't expect quick respones from my side ;) Of course, feel free to update any of my packages if needed, or fix any new opened bugs. At the dev side I didn't adopt a lot of packages just yet for above reason so I suspect things to be quiet. On the TU side of things, I don't expect any major issues with any of my packages. Just keep an eye on bug reports that require just a simple rebuild. Btw I have already voted in the current running thread so you can count me in. See you on the other side! Regards, Ronald
