[aur-general] ibus orphans in [community]
by Alexander Rødseth 23 Oct '12

23 Oct '12

Hello, ibus is used for keyboard input for a few major non-English languages. Several of the ibus packages has been unmaintained for a while now: https://www.archlinux.org/packages/?sort=&repo=Community&q=ibus&maintainer=… For instance, ibus-sunpinyin, was last updated almost a year ago (2011-10-02). These ibus-packages have survived at least one package-cleanup, being neither adopted nor moved. While there is interest amongst the trusted users to maintain these, none of the trusted users are currently using ibus. After visiting #archlinux-cn, a couple of friendly people expressed interest in maintaining the ibus packages, but they had only few packages on AUR to show for. I also learned that mostly, fcitx (currently in [extra], is used instead of ibus). Dropping ibus could have been an option, but I also heard rumors that ibus will be a dependency of gnome-settings-daemon. There is also a canidate for asking to maintain the ibus packages, that has not yet been contacted, but which already maintains several related packages on AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?K=yangtsesu&SeB=m If you think that his packages look ok, my plan is to contact yangtsesu and ask if he wants to maintain the ibus packages in [community] (and thus becoming a TU). If you know of other canidates that have a comparable selection of relevant AUR packages, please let us know who they are. Please correct me if any of the above is incorrect or let us know if you have additional information. Sounds like a plan? -- Cordially, Alexander Rødseth Arch Linux Trusted User (xyproto on IRC, trontonic on AUR)

[aur-general] [REMINDER] systemd conversion
by Tom Gundersen 21 Oct '12

21 Oct '12

Hi guys, Thanks to everyone who converted their packages to use native systemd service files since my last email. There are stil 66 packages remaining in our TODO however (10 from extra and the rest from community): https://www.archlinux.org/todo/178/. It would be great if we can get the last few packages sorted so nothing is left out when systemd moves to base. It might be that some packages are pseudo-orphans (i.e., officially maintained, but not in practice), so those packages we should probably drop if no one adopts them. If you (for whatever reason) don't think you will be converting your packages in the near future, please let us know so we know which packages to focus on when we help out with the conversion. In particular those of you who have not converted any (or only a small percentage) of your packages [0], it would be helpful to know your intentions. Cheers, Tom [0]: cbrannon daenyth daniel jlichtblau romashka spupykin tpowa tredaelli

I found some old packages which are flaged out of date since a year and are orphaned. * (blender2.5a2) https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=37447 * (blender2.4-svn) https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=31983 * (blender2.4-bin) https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=39099 The current version of the "blender" package (2.64) is in the Community repository. The SVN version is in the "blender-svn" AUR package. I've watched this packages over a couple of months and contacted the maintainers. The packages are of no use anymore. The package * (blender2.6-bin) https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=60652 seems obsolete through the official "blender" package. Are I am missing something? Aaron

* His last SVN commit was on 2012-05-10. * Less than two SVN commits per month in the last ~1,5 years. * Only participated in two of the last twelve TU votes. * Pretty much inactive on the mailing lists. * Inactive on the AUR (maintains a couple of outdated packages). * Inactive on the bug tracker. * Inactive on IRC. I also sent reminder emails to him on 2011-09-04 and on 2011-10-10. Kaiting, sorry to see you go this way. Feel free to reapply when you have more free time! Note that the voting period will start in three days as mentioned in the "removal due to unwarranted and undeclared inactivity" paragraph of our bylaws.
