[aur-general] Multiple Removal Request
by Edoardo Maria Elidoro 24 Jun '13

24 Jun '13

Hi everyone, here's a little list of package that need to be removed in my opinion. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xfce4-appfinder-devel/ is some sort of duplicate and deprecate version of https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xfce4-appfinder-git/ so it's pretty useless. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xfce4-dev-tools-devel/ is some sort of duplicate and deprecate version of https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xfce4-dev-tools-git/ so it's useless too. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xfce4-session-lock-screen/ is an orphan, deprecated package with few votes and there's no an upstream project. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xfwm-theme-grayrevenge/ is included in https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gtk-theme-grayrevenge/. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xfdesktop-standalone/ is deprecated and orphaned (and pretty useless IMHO, it just install Xfdesktop). https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xfprint-devel/ very old package, orphaned and no longer part of Xfce. Have a nice day, Edoardo

Is it OK to merge (transfer votes) https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gedit-classbrowser/ with https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gedit-classbrowser-git/ ? The former is missing source and even the website is gone, so I don't know if it's the same software. I asked for removal of other -wz packages and that left https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pplive-wz/ hanging so I guess it makes sense to remove it too. I reqested merging https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/eduke32-polymer-hrp/ with https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/eduke32-hrp/ because according to the comments, the former is obsolete. These packages are not merged, so either they slipped through or there's a reason not to merge them the TU forgot to share :-) https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/claws-pdf-viewer/ and others below seem to be candidates for removal but https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/notification_plugin_unread/ says it sometimes makes sense to keep them https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/rssyl/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/claws-mail-notification/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/claws-mail-gtkhtml2viewer/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/claws-mail-fancy/ Most of them have maintainers but the sources are gone.

[aur-general] Merge request: aquaria-hib-git -> aquaria-git
by Sam S. 23 Jun '13

23 Jun '13

Hi, Could you please merge https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/aquaria-hib-git/ into https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/aquaria-git/ ? I'm the submitter and maintainer of both packages. Reasoning: Currently, aquaria-hib-git takes the proprietary Aquaria game data from the Humble Bundle archive, but replaces some game files and the executable with an improved GPL version compiled from git. Thanks to recent upstream changes to the GPL executable, it has now become possible to separate out the installation of the proprietary game files into their own package ("aquaria-data-hib"). What remains of "aquaria-hib-git" should be called "aquaria-git" to reflect this, so I have re-uploaded it under this new name. Benefits include: - proprietary and GPL stuff is no longer mixed in the same package - no need for users to supply the Humble Bundle game archive again, each time they install a new version of the executable - in the future, "aquaria-data-hib" could be complemented by drop-in alternatives like "aquaria-data-steam", "aquaria-data-demo", ... Thanks!

Hi, from [1]: Support for the features in xf86-video-fbdev-for-displaylink and udlfb from the AUR have been included upstream and are no longer needed. Use the official packages instead. xf86-video-fbdev-for-displaylink [2] has a maintainer, but udlfb [3] is orphaned, so I think it's fine to remove it. [1]: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DisplayLink [2]: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xf86-video-fbdev-for-displaylink/ [3]: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/udlfb/

Merge: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/csv2json/ with https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/csv2json-git/notify/ It gets the code from git in both cases, so I guess the author and sumbitter decided to name it properly. Spam by joyoauto Found one more comment: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/boost-build-config What do we do about packages that host binaries in the AUR e.g. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/sub32/ , https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/evolution-statusicon/ or https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/kio-sysinfo/ ? "I am a robot. AUR guidelines suggest to not include binaries." What is the current policy, are a few icons OK?

[aur-general] AUR cleanup policy
by Karol Blazewicz 20 Jun '13

20 Jun '13

What's the policy wrt to packages that have been submitted years ago and are neither developed upstream nor maintained in the AUR since then? Just let them be or get rid of them as they're of no use? If there're old unmaintained packages foo and foo-git, is it OK to request removing at least one of them? Which one? https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/a4/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/a4-bzr/ The PKGBUILD need updating but it still builds and runs so I can pick it up, update and orphan it. I don't know which filetypes does it open (.odp is not recognized) and the editor doesn't work, so you can't create a new presentation from scratch. It's man page is of no help.

[aur-general] Orphaned and outdated haskell packages
by Karol Blazewicz 20 Jun '13

20 Jun '13

There's over 200 packages submitted by arch-haskell that are marked out of date and are not maintained anymore. Some of them have been updated in the past year, so maybe there's no need to remove them, I'm just reporting something I noticed. Some packages were hosting their source on github e.g. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/haskell-warp/ and they now returns 404.

Hi, uefivars-git https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/uefivars-git/ installs packages into /usr/sbin that is not recommended with the new pacman standard. I notified current maintainer 3 weeks ago and provided fiexed/cleaned PKGBUILD file. The maintainer never responded. Please orphan it. I would like to become the package maintainer, fix the issues and keep supporting the package.
