[aur-general] Deletion and rename requests
by Lex Black 07 Jul '12

07 Jul '12

Hello I took a look on some orphaned AUR-packages. And I think some can be deleted (all of them are orphaned and if it was reasonable I tried to update them): # pidgin-icq-russia-patch: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=23378 Totally outdated and the bug got already fixed. # pidgin-nateon: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=32549 Source page is dead (Though the binaries got included with the pkgbuild.tar.gz) # pidgin-nateon-svn: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=33062 Totally dead # pidgin-osd: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=15444 Original sources are dead (although there exist other sourcelinks) # pidgin-qip: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=16191 Source links are dead # pymktorrent: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=27373 Source links are dead. # python-postfix-policyd-spf: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=25886 There exists an other version: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=42275 And maybe this package # python-urljr: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=12563 Original Sources are dead. The package itself uses now an other link (which goes to the ubuntu archive) Maybe a candidate for deletion. At least it should be renamed to python2-urljr And now some candidates for renaming (or deletion): # pyevent: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=11158 as suggested from a comment: python2-event # python-certtool https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=19916 ---> python2-certtool # python-colubrid https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=9785 ---> python2-colubrid (or deletion.. Last update in 2006. I only updated the package to see if it builds and uploaded the pkgbuild. Didn't test the package for function) # python-daap https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=54923 ---> python2-daap # python-networkmanager https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=37474 ---> python2-networkmanager (possible free to deletion. Updated pkgbuild but the created package doesn't work) # python-htmltmpl https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=34539 ---> python2-htmltmpl (or deletion. I updated it, but the last package which required this got an update. And since it's from 2001. Possible it doesn't work like intended)

[aur-general] Request Delete and Merge
by BxS 06 Jul '12

06 Jul '12

Hi, This is a cleanup on "C Compiler for PIC24 MCUs and dsPIC DSCs" packages in aur. Please delete [1]hitech-dspicc-bin, it's only needed for really old code. Please merge [2]microchip-mplabc30_bin into [3]microchip-mplabxc16-bin, c30 was replaced by XC16, I keep it for compability and because XC16 is too new, but since C30 don't like to work anymore with arch glibc is better simple move on to XC16. Thanks, keep the good work. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=54315 [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=52725 [3] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=59174

The same users who don't read the above may not notice post-upgrade messages either. On the flip side, most custom kernel users should be more savvy than the average, do I don't see much of a problem. I maintain two aur kennels, shall I implement the move now (seems like it'd work even before kmod upgrades)?

So if i understand correctly we (the people running custom kernels) can't prepare for this ? There is no way of moving the modules already to /usr/lib ? I assume kmod now only looks in /lib. Another note, people with custom repositories should move their kernels in sync with the official repositories ? --Ike

[aur-general] deletion of hplip related packages

Hi TUs, the following two PKGBUILDs are outdated for almost a year and were last modified on the day they were submitted: hplip-all https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=49401 hplip-plugin-all https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=49402 The latter seems to be a copy of my PKGBUILD hplip-plugin without the udev-part. Pretty pointless. I suppose they both should be deleted. Regards, PyroPeter -- freenode/pyropeter ETAOIN SHRDLU
