[aur-general] Deletion request

09 Apr '11

Hello. I've mistakenly uploaded packages qgt and qgt-svn because i didn't noticed there is package qgoogletranslator building the same software. I think it's better to use original name for svn-version. Could you delete qgt and qgt-svn packages?.. -- mailto:karnathtorjian@gmail.com JID:bytecat@neko.im

[aur-general] Ppmascii 1.2
by Pablo Olmos de Aguilera C. 09 Apr '11

09 Apr '11

Hi, I just wanted to tell you that I packaged ppamascii[1], as it's described by its author as a Perl portable bitmap-anymap ASCII-art rendering and conversions graphics package. In english means that converts ppm files to ASCII art. I use it together with ttytter to see avatars and some images.

Please orphan airdrop-ng[1] and airgraph-ng-svn[2]. The airdrop-ng in AUR is acturally a SVN package and should be named as airdrop-ng-svn,I have created an updated airdrop-ng-svn package and requested the maintainer of airdrop-ng to use my airdrop-ng PKGBUILD which suit for its name,but there is no response. The airgraph-ng-svn is outdated,and I have update an updated PKGBUILD as comments,and also with no response. So,i want to do it myself.

Hi, I just wanted to let you know that I've moved the new Reflector to [community]. Given that it is a direct replacement for the old one, I didn't see any reason to pass through the AUR voting stage. Oh, and I buried the old one out in the back near the shed. If anyone has some seeds to plant, I suggest you take advantage of the fertile soil. Regards, Xyne

[aur-general] AUR message notification
by Baptiste 06 Apr '11

06 Apr '11

Hello, I know there is a way to get an email notification when somebody writes a comment on a given package. How does it work ? There is a checkbox called "New Package Notify" on the account part of the AUR website, but I don't believe this is it. (actually, I have no idea what this checkbox is for, but anyway) Baptiste -- "C'est mieux, mais il y a plus cher ailleurs" : ____ _ _ _ _ ___ _ / ___| \ | | | | | / / | (_)_ __ _ ___ __ | | _| \| | | | |/ /| | | | '_ \| | | \ \/ / | |_| | |\ | |_| / / | |___| | | | | |_| |> < \____|_| \_|\___/_/ |_____|_|_| |_|\__,_/_/\_\ GNU/Linux fan && Archlinux user

[aur-general] vim-minibufexpl: New version from new maintainer, how to proceed
by Patrice Peterson 06 Apr '11

06 Apr '11

Hey all, I wanted to install the vim-minibufexpl package today and noticed a link to an updated version on its vim scripts page: http://fholgado.com/minibufexpl This person seems to have taken over upstream maintainership. My question: Can I upload this new version (6.4.0) to the AUR, flag the [extra] package out of date, and delete the AUR version if/when the [extra] package gets updated? Cheers, Patrice

If you have any other suggestion (web client or linux desktop client) which comes anywhere close please let me know. Evolution's threading just doesn't cut it, thunderbird's new one is close, but thunderbird is basically a mouse-only interface, the keyboard shortcuts are so horrific (and muttator is an abortion of a project AFAICS). I've spent quite some time exploring the options, and settled on this. Ideas always welcome, of course.

[aur-general] [deletion request] python-restkit
by Baptiste 04 Apr '11

04 Apr '11

Hello, The packages `python-restkit' [1] and `restkit-git' [2] should be deleted : they are both out-of-date and violating python packaging guidelines (I believe they come from an ancient time, when python3 was only a dream...) They are replaced by `python2-restkit' [3]. Whenever someone really needs a -git package, should he just create another, with the right name (`python2-restkit-git'). Thanks !

Dear AUR maintainers, Please remove the package "tapenade" from AUR (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=43412) I submitted it about a year ago when it was free to use but it seems it is no longer in the public domain (at least from http://www-sop.inria.fr/tropics/tapenade/downloading.html it seems that it is free to download but not directly - you have to fill in a questionaire and then get access to the binaries for academic use) Best regards, Thomas Zervogiannis

Please remove those packages from AUR: cant - http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=47852 cannot - http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=47859 Those packages must be deleted immediately, they have hurt my feelings! Also several packaging standards were violated, so numerous, I cant even list them. :)

[aur-general] When should pkgrel be updated?
by Oon-Ee Ng 01 Apr '11

01 Apr '11

I've seen (in the past) various packages on the AUR which jumped by 3 or 4 pkgrels in a very short period of time. Sometimes it happens like this:- 1. Maintainer changes something and breaks the package with pkgrel=2 2. Bug reported on comments. Maintainer reverts change and makes pkgrel=3 It can also happen like this:- 1. Maintainer makes changes to pkgdesc or cleans up some of the commands, depends, etc. sets pkgrel=2 For both of the cases above, is pkgrel updating really necessary? For the second one, I think not, as changing documentation doesn't (shouldn't) require recompilation of the package by its users. Similarly if depends changes, users who already have the package installed would already have the dep, so no reason for such users to upgrade? For the first case its a bit more tricky. My reasoning is that if the PKGBUILD breaks and can't be built at all, the maintainer could simply release with the same pkgrel. Noone would have been able to build pkgrel=2 in that example anyway, so why jump to pkgrel=3? The reason I bring this up is because there's no easy way (yet) to diff what's changed between versions of the package, and hence when I notice a pkgrel change I can't really check to see what has been changed and whether its worth recompiling the package (for larger packages like firefox4 this can be significant). Comments appreciated.

I submitted the package this morning but regretted it almost immediately. It does not meet the submission guidelines (doesn't download/verify) and my spacechem-demo PKGBUILD can also be used for the purchased full game anyway.

[aur-general] Should nvidia(-beta)-all replace all the other nvidia-* packages in the AUR?
by Det 01 Apr '11

01 Apr '11

Helloooo, So I've been thinking about this for some time now and I finally decided to ask the ones who know the best: would it be enough to only have 'nvidia-beta-all' and 'nvidia-all' in the AUR to replace all those nvidia-ice, nvidia-bfs, eg. packages? (Decluding nvidia-utils*, of course.) As far as I can think of, I can't see any downside(s) (whatsoever) of using those *-all packages instead of those 'specifc-kernel' packages, since they do in fact auto-detect all the kernels on the system. Now to the important part: what do you think? Det
