by Felix 03 Aug '12

03 Aug '12

Hi, I'm not sure if this is the right mailing list, but could someone remove lpc-whispersofwhisdom-git from AUR? It has a typo in package name, and is already resubmitted with correct PKGBUILD. Thanks.

[aur-general] Use "soundfontcombi" in place of current "sfc" and use "sfc" for another piece of software?
by Andreas Wagner 02 Aug '12

02 Aug '12

Hello, The package sfc ( https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=11363 ) should be used by simple flashcards: http://0au.de/apps/sfc/ Current users of sfc should be using the more canonically named package soundfontcombi ( https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=45868 ) in place of the sfc package. Would it be best to just add a notice that the software of the package is changing in a new package that I upload? The version numbers are different though. I'm not sure of the best way to resolve this situation. Thanks, Andreas Wagner

Hi I recently created a package mlorg-git. Unfortunately, the first PKGBUILD uloaded on the AUR named the package mlorg. I noticed the error and submitted a new package named mlorg-git, and then flagged out-of-date the mlorg package. Is it possible to delete the mlorg one ? mlorg: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=61386 mlorg-git: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=61387 Thanks Thibault Suzanne

[aur-general] Fwd: [pacman-dev] Help adding support for BZR, CVZ, DARCS to makepkg
by Dave Reisner 01 Aug '12

Forwarding to aur-general, as there's likely a larger corpus of people who could potentially be affected by this... Allan's a bit overly dramatic about this -- the current (old) PKGBUILDs will continue to mostly work, but I would expect that they'll break in quiet and interesting ways (e.g. pkgver won't be updated). ----- Forwarded message from Allan McRae <allan(a)archlinux.org> ----- > Date: Mon, 23 Jul 2012 21:57:34 +1000 > From: Allan McRae <allan(a)archlinux.org> > To: Discussion list for pacman development <pacman-dev(a)archlinux.org> > Subject: [pacman-dev] Help adding support for BZR, CVZ, DARCS to makepkg > > On my VCS branch, makepkg now supports git, svn and hg.

[aur-general] TU Application - Andrzej Giniewicz (giniu)
by Andrzej Giniewicz 30 Jul '12

30 Jul '12

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, today I decided I want to apply to become an Arch Linux Trusted User. My nick around is giniu, it includes Arch Wiki, AUR and forum. My e-mail is gginiu, because gmail said to me that 5 letters is too short. Thomas Dziedzic (td123) is my sponsor for this application. My public GPG key is linked from my Arch wiki page [2]. My name is Andrzej Giniewicz and I'm 26 years old, living in Poland. I'm working towards getting my PhD in Mathematical Statistics (same discipline I graduated), meantime working as an IT guy at the same institute. I'm interested in photography, typography, game development and some more common stuff like good music or books. My adventures with using Linux started in year 2001. It was quite some time ago and the distribution that came with my new computer was just released Red Hat 7.1 (back then, with new and shiny kernel 2.4.2). I used this distribution for some time, but after getting internet connection I started looking for alternatives, especially that back then the development was fast and changes were visible every day – mostly due to the look of Gnome 1. Anyway, I later traveled trough multiple distributions including Mandrake, Debian, Aurox and some others that no longer exists. I even tried Ubuntu and used it for 15 minutes. After long search, around 7 years ago I switched to Slackware and if it wasn't for slow glibc updates (and bug in old version which stopped me from using Hight Performance Erlang virtual machine) I would probably be still using Slackware, but now, I'm happy Arch user for 5 years (starting with version 0.7). Right now I maintain 5 machines running Arch, including two workstations and 3 servers, both at home and at work. I decided it's finally time to give something back to community for saving me so much time during those years. I started by providing packages. First one landed in AUR in 2009, so 3 years ago. In 2011 I was asked about becoming a TU for the first time, but back then I decided I don't have enough time. This year I sorted some stuff, including fixing quality of lots of my packages and finding more free time, so I decided to give it a try. Right now I maintain 72 packages, list of which you can see at [1] and [2] with some description. Most of my packages are related to science, this includes two scientific distributions of Python – Python(x,y) and Enthough Python Distribution plus dependencies. I try to keep them in shape because I teach using Python, Sage, OpenCL and (soon) Arduino. Also I'm an active developer for some projects and less active for others. I haven't done anything for some time for Wings 3D although I'm still on list of active authors [3], I'm also on developer map of mathematical package Sage [4]. I also wrote LaTeX package for typesetting books for CreateSpace self-publishing service [5]. Other project that started directly in AUR are scripts for The Elderscrolls Arena and Daggerfall AUR packages. They are scripts in Perl and Python which provide support for launching and modding the game (it includes about 2500 lines of code). I also sent smaller patches to other projects like MyPaint. During the transition for linuxwacom to xf86-input-wacom I worked on AUR package providing latest patches cherry-picked from git and reported results to mailing list every week or so. As for languages I actively develop in, I mostly use Python, Erlang, BASH, OpenCL and some C/C++. To name some more I also know Haskell, Perl, Ocaml, Java, Lua, TeX (including coding some exotic stuff like calculating natural logarithm using TeX primitive commands) and some domain specific languages (Mathematica, Matlab, R). There are also some other languages I did one or two projects in and not use anymore. This allows me to fix a large amount of bugs I encounter in packages I maintain or cooperate with upstream to fix them. I usually try to get back to person reporting bugs no later than 2 days after I receive notification about comment in AUR and replicate it so I can try fixing it. The visible part of my contacts with Arch community isn't that high, but this is mostly because I'm direct kind of person. Usually I prefer to get in touch with people by e-mail or gtalk, asking very specific questions or answering questions I get. I follow multiple mailing lists including aur-general and arch-general and I always react if e-mail is related to packages I maintain. I try to scatter rest of my time in multiple directions, without favoring one place or another. This includes other projects wikis and mailing lists, like linuxwacom-devel, sage-devel, sage-support or even Daggerfall hacking pages on uesp.net where I discussed things I learned when creating modding support for the game. You can also meet me at forums on eeeuser.com (talking about Eee 901) or love2d.org game engine forum (I was especially active in community developed game “A Whiff of Steam” which unfortunately died last year because of lack of interested developers with time to contribute, I still moderate a top-level sub forum for this project there). I'm active on kickstarter.com discussion pages of projects I backed (Wasteland 2 and Shadowrun Returns – I really hope the change how games are made). I also write in comments of photo related pages like strobist.blogspot.com blog, Analogue Photography User Group or Fuji X100 fan page. You can see me in countless other places, without single major place I hang every day. If I become TU I will try to take care for bringing some of my more popular packages into community, it include languagetool and vim-languagetool with 118 and 17 votes respectively. Also some parts of mentioned Python distributions which met the requirements for inclusion. Anyway, I hope this will be only a beginning, later I plan to look into improving photography stack on Arch Linux, means I will look at AUR packages related to color profile aware editing and printing. I will also try to increase my time spent with Arch community, at least that's the plan. Thanks, Andrzej.
