[aur-general] Broken libdbf in the AUR
by Quentin de Metz 15 Oct '13

15 Oct '13

Hi, I ran into issues building libdbf<https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/libdbf/> on my machine - and apparently I'm not the only one. It seems like the package is broken. It wasn't enough to simply add my architecture to the PKGBUILD, I also followed cassava's instructions to fix the name conflict in endian.{h,c} Since it looks like the original project is long dead on Berlios (and still using CVS), I moved the code over to Github<https://github.com/quentindemetz/libdbf> where it will have increased visibility. I'd like to update the PKGBUILD to use this new source ( https://github.com/quentindemetz/libdbf/archive/0.0.2.tar.gz or https://github.com/quentindemetz/libdbf/archive/0.0.2.zip) I've contacted the package's maintainer. but have yet to receive a response. What's next? Thanks, Quentin

[aur-general] Orphan request: perl-cpan-meta-check
by Moritz Bunkus 15 Oct '13

15 Oct '13

Hey, please orphan perl-cpan-meta-check[1] as I would like to take over maintainership. Some of my own packages require the new version of the Perl package provided by $subject; therefore the lack of an update is holding me back. I've flagged it as being out-of-date on 2013-09-13. I've added a comment about this on 2013-09-19, and I've emailed the maintainer on 2013-09-26. I have yet to receive a single sign of life from him. Several of his other packages[2] are flagged as out-of-date as well, but I'm only interested in maintaining the one in $subject at this moment. Thanks for considering. Kind regards, mosu [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/perl-cpan-meta-check/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/?K=dseg&SeB=m

[aur-general] Removal requests
by Benjamin A. Shelton 11 Oct '13

11 Oct '13

Howdy, It's time for my fall house-cleaning, and I would like to request the removal of python2-sentry [1] and python2-httpbin-git [2]. As per the Python package guidelines [3], these should never have been named with the python2- prefix as they are application packages (not libraries). I have had the corrected versions of these uploaded for quite some time, and thanks in part to my forgetfulness, I believe that the significant number of months that have since passed should be ample time for anyone who may have had these installed to migrate to the new versions. Thank you!

[aur-general] Request removal of lutris-bzr
by Mathieu Comandon 10 Oct '13

10 Oct '13

Hi, I'm the author of Lutris ( http://lutris.net ) and I would like to ask for the removal of the lutris-bzr package in AUR ( https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/lutris-bzr/ ). Reasons for removal are: - The trunk version is by definition unstable, users who want to test it should explicity do a bzr checkout. - The dependencies are outdated. - There is a stable version in tar.gz format on the website which can be used instead. - I migrated from bzr to git, I won't commit on Launchpad for this project anymore. - I will probably delete the launchpad code, in order to avoid confusion. Thanks :) Mathieu
