[aur-general] Flash 10.1 and kernel26 packages
by Det 15 Aug '11

15 Aug '11

Hi all you electronic mail readers, There was some talk some time ago I think concerning the removal of the Flash10.1 packages. I thought I'd bring it back up. Here are the links: flashplugin-10.1: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=47029 lib32-flashplugin10.1: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=49982 Then another thing is those kernel26- packages (all 59 of 'em). Is there some deadline until all the ones that hasn't been updated or converted into linux- alternatives should be removed?: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?K=kernel26&SeB=n&PP=100 Thanks, byyye Det End of electronic guru mail.

[aur-general] Dare I say it: AUR Cleanup Day
by gadget3000 15 Aug '11

15 Aug '11

Hi aur-general, With bug squashing day just around the corner and the recent mass orphaning of a lot of out of date packages, it seems like as good a time as any to start the discussion of the possibility of an AUR Cleanup Day 2011. It was around September last year I believe? Thoughts? Regards, Gadget3000

[aur-general] Dropping PCManFM
by Ángel Velásquez 15 Aug '11

15 Aug '11

Hi, This release of PcmanFM is hard to built (at least on Arch and other distros) .. libfm refuses to build, and pcmanfm cannot build without libfm >= 0.1.16 .. Since LXDE upstream have been doing slow releases (and full of bugs and patches) I am not so sure if we should drop many of LXDE components to AUR, maintaining buggy software is a hell, patching it a lot, and reporting bugs to their upstream isn't nice, and it becomes worst when upstream seems to be dead. If anyone (TU or Dev) would like to maintain pcmanfm or the rest of the components of LXDE, please adopt it go ahead and let me know, but in the contrary case, I think PcmanFM and buggy LXDE software should go to AUR Regards -- Angel Velásquez angvp @ irc.freenode.net Arch Linux Developer / Trusted User Linux Counter: #359909 http://www.angvp.com

[aur-general] [away] 10-14 August
by Ronald van Haren 15 Aug '11

15 Aug '11

Hi all, I'll be in Sweden for a short family visit between tonight and Sunday evening. I don't bring my laptop so I won't be able to do any packaging stuff. Grub is moved to [core], meaning that there are no critical bugs in my packages left that can't wait until I return. Cheers, Ronald

[aur-general] Private mailing list for TUs?
by Florian Pritz 13 Aug '11

13 Aug '11

Hi, I think it would be nice if we had a closed mailing list for TUs only (and maybe devs if they want to) so we can move more important stuff from IRC to mail because not everyone uses IRC or is online all the time. Keep in mind that it will likely be low traffic. Any hard feelings on that? -- Florian Pritz
