[aur-general] Deletion request: wesnoth-svn
by Rikard Falkeborn 10 Jul '13

10 Jul '13

Hello, Since March, wesnoth uses git as vcs and therefore I think the wesnoth-svn package [1] can be deleted (the PKGBUILD was last updated 2010). It has been replaced by wesnoth-git [2]. Is it necessary for the PKGBUILD for wesnoth-git to contain replaces=('wesnoth-svn') (I'm not the maintainer, I'm just curious). [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/wesnoth-svn/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/wesnoth-git/ Best regards, Rikard

Hi everyone, yes, I know that we agreed that even old relics should be kept in AUR, but don't you think this[1] is a little too much? Not just for the time passed, but also for its (in)utility at the moment... [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/skype_dsp_hijacker/ Thanks, Edoardo

[aur-general] Are split packages ok for aur.
by Gary van der Merwe 09 Jul '13

09 Jul '13

Hi Is it OK to submit split packages to aur, using the workaround used by linux-zen (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/li/linux-zen/PKGBUILD)? This is the PKGBUILD I would like to submit: http://fpaste.org/23879/ Are there any implications that I need to take into account? How do aur helpers handle split packages? (I started reading this bug report to try find the answers: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/16394 , but there is much noise and little signal, hence I'm asking here.) Thanks, Gary

[aur-general] Remove AUR packages
by Svetkin Mikhail 09 Jul '13

09 Jul '13

Hi, Since I'm a new PKGBUILD creator and learning. I create pkbuild for pymodbus-git (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pymodbus-git/) but i don't know about ( https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Python_Package_Guidelines#Package_nami…) and then i create second package with other name (python2-modbus-git https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python2-modbus-git/) and now i can't delete pymodbus-git. I'm sorry to bother you but could you remove the pymodbus-git( https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pymodbus-git/) ?

I just don't think it's feasible to maintain all packages that were created once upon a time, since *anyone* can create a package on AUR?

I am hoping that by orphaning them, an active > maintainer may pick them up and fix/update them. That list is huge. I can certainly pick up a couple, but some of them look horribly outdated; is it an option to delete the ones that haven't been updated in - say - 12 months just to bring it down to a manageable number? It would be a waste of resources to spend time on a package that nobody is using anymore.

I understand, no problem! I adopted broadcom-wl-dkms. Would the people that had notifications on broadcom-wl-dkms (the one that was accidentally deleted) get those notifications again going forward?
