[aur-general] FYI: New packages have to be signed
by Pierre Schmitz 02 Nov '11

02 Nov '11

Hi all, as discussed all new packages have to be signed from now on. This mean that if you use a build server you have to download the package to create the signature. Also see https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DeveloperWiki:Signing_Packages A new version of devtools will follow soon. Greetings, Pierre -- Pierre Schmitz, http://pierre-schmitz.com

[aur-general] Orphan Request: eclipse-dltk-* packages maintained by emphire
by Shanto 02 Nov '11

02 Nov '11

Ref: http://download.eclipse.org/technology/dltk/downloads/drops/R3.0/S-3.0.1-20… All eclipse-dltk-* packages are out of date since August/September. While I have flagged rest of them just yesterday, eclipse-dltk-python was flagged since 2nd October, 2011. These out-of-date packages, in addition to some comments posted, make it apparent that emphire is no more interested or too busy to maintain these packages any more (no offence). As I already maintain eclipse-platform and some related stuff, I am willing to adopt these packages if orphaned. In addition, I am thinking if bundling these packages under a single package (eclipse-dltk or eclipse-dltk-bundle) makes better sense. (see the all-in-one bundle and integration components in dltk download page) Knowledgeable/experienced Eclipse users and maintainers, please suggest. Thanks, Shanto

[aur-general] [Removal Request] racer-3d
by Stefan Wilkens 01 Nov '11

01 Nov '11

Hello, I've maintained this package[1] for a while, but am now running intothe inevitable consequences of upstream development: there is none. The Linux version of this game hasn't been updated in years and nowbreaks on the latest version of the fmodex library. While it will runwith an older version, the game still segfaults for unknown reasons. With no source available, no debug symbols available... It may be timeto let this one go. Upstream only develops a windows version, their community suggests wine. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=31357

It states in the README-SDL file: ... You can disable it (GTK) at run-time by passing the --nogui 1 option, or disable it build time by setting GTK to 0 in the SConstruct file.

[aur-general] SLiM up for adoption
by Gaetan Bisson 30 Oct '11

30 Oct '11

Hi devs, Hi TUs, I am orphaning SLiM (login manager): upstream is dead, patches keep piling up, and I actually stopped using that package a while ago. As far as I know, our current package has only one unfixed bug: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/26579 Anyhow, I will move that package to the AUR in a week or so unless a dev or a TU wishes to adopt it. Cheers. -- Gaetan

[aur-general] [Removal Request] rinse
by Michael Manley 30 Oct '11

30 Oct '11

Although I'm not the maintainer or original submitter, I'd ask for rinse to be removed. The package hasn't been maintained since 2009, flagged out of date, and the comments are from 2011 asking for updates and the maintainer or submitter has not responded (Comments coming from June). I actually want to maintain it as I have created an updated PKGBUILD and want to submit it but unable due to it already existing. So I ask for it to be removed so I can submit the updated version. Thanks, Michael

[aur-general] TU application
by Jonathan Steel 29 Oct '11

29 Oct '11

Hi, I'm interested in becoming a TU. I've been using Arch for nearly 4 years (Linux for 7) and recently started getting involved maintaining packages in the AUR. I would love to see some of these in community, help more in the AUR, extend my Arch knowledge and get to know other Arch users. I would be interested in helping out wherever I can; I already spend a good hour every day or two messing around with my Arch setups so instead of tweaking not-so-necessary things I can do something more helpful. I would enjoy the learning curve and experience and I'm quick to pick things up. A little info about me: 26, male, UK, IT manager, Christian, husband/father, retro gamer, sense of humour, perfectionist. Many thanks, jsteel

Hi TU's! I'm planning to drop a few packages, some other TU's might be interested in maintaing it. Else I will put listen in AUR. * listen ( Latest release a year ago, almost 2 years now in March 2012.. ) FS#25906 * exaile ( no bugs open, works, but i don't use it ) * wifi-select ( don't use netcfg) I already disowned them on archweb. -- Jelle van der Waa

Re: [aur-general] TU application
by Jonathan Steel 29 Oct '11

>Any reason you didn't send removal requests for those packages to >aur-general? >... you never sent any mail to the mailing lists >How long have you been maintaining your AUR packages for? It was just a few months ago I started adopting and updating packages. I wasn't sure how involved I could get with other people's packages (removals, changes etc.) and assumed I needed to be a TU to get more involved. I wasn't sure how likely that would be, but I thought I would at least let you know there was interest and that help was available if needed. I've learned I can already get more involved through this mailing list so I'm sure you will now hear from me from time to time regardless of the outcome of this application. >Just out of interest, where in the UK are you based? (I'm in Birmingham.) Quite far away; South Buckinghamshire. >Looking at what we have, I have a few suggestions Thanks for the tips, I will begin tidying these up. Should any change of the PKGBUILD justify a new release (pkgrel)? Or only if it alters the end package?

[aur-general] Abandonware in the AUR
by Karol Blazewicz 29 Oct '11

29 Oct '11

We have a discussion on the forums [1] about Arch's policy towards what packages can be provided in the AUR with the focus on abandonware. User megadriver found a couple packages [2] that provide a means of downloading games for free (as in beer) even though those games can be bought. Apps can go in and out of the abandonware status as their availability changes: now you can buy them, now you can't. Do we care about this or is it up to the user to check if the stuff he installs is legal? Should we set up a bot to scan for potential 'warez' stuff?
