[aur-general] poppler 0.16 rebuild
by Ionuț Bîru 01 Feb '11

01 Feb '11

Hi, the rebuilding is almost over and was already moved from staging to testing in the morning, the only package that doesn't build is openscenegraph and is not related to poppler api breakage. Sergej can you look at it and try to fix it? -- Ionuț

[aur-general] Moving avr-gdb from aur to community
by Ivan Sichmann Freitas 01 Feb '11

01 Feb '11

Hi, Could the package avr-gdb, from aur, be moved to community? There are already many avr-* packages there (like gcc-avr, avr-libc and binutils-avr). I've talked to djszapi, it seems that it hasn't been moved because he was maintaining it on aur. It is currently out-of-date, but removing the patch and changing the version to 7.2 builds a working package. Regards, Ivan -- Ivan Sichmann Freitas Linux user #509059

What's the issue with having 2.0.10 in unsupported? It's not in *-testing either, so there was no reason for this? regards mar77i

[aur-general] Please delete lib32-printproto
by merp boop 31 Jan '11

31 Jan '11

Unless you all see a better reason, I think it should be deleted. It would be pulling the same files as the x86_64 version (as they're both from "any"), so any package in reference to this one should use printproto instead, even if the package is a 32-bit binary blob on a 64-bit system. -Max

[aur-general] Temporary Inactivity
by Jonathan Conder 31 Jan '11

31 Jan '11

Hi everyone, I'm off to the beach again and won't be back until Monday. This time there is something on my todo list, which is to move the mythplugins-* packages from community-testing into community once libmysqlclient is updated. If this happens while I'm away it would be great if someone could do that for me. If not, it doesn't matter that much because the only package it will break is mythplugins-mythzoneminder, which I doubt is used by many people. Thanks, Jonathan

[aur-general] Delete AUR Package Request
by Bernardo Barros 31 Jan '11

31 Jan '11

Please delete the following packages. Reason: I changed their pkgnames to more appropriate. I wasn't aware of fonts convention at the time. For the supercollider plugin I omitted "ugen", since all 'plugins' in supercollider parlance are 'UGens'. supercollider-dfm1ugen http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=45930 concreta-font-ttf http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=44856 controla-font-ttf http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=44854 electronica-font-ttf http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=44857 -- The New Ones (do not delete!): supercollider-dfm1 http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=45931 ttf-acoustica http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=44905 ttf-concreta http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=44906 ttf-controla http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=44907 ttf-electronica http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=44908

[aur-general] TU Application - Seblu
by Seblu 30 Jan '11

30 Jan '11

Hello, Tonight I decided to propose me as TU. My sponsor is Peter Lewis. My name is Sebastien Lutttringer, i'm a 26 years old french system and network engineer who lives in Paris. I'm gradued from EPITA a french computer school and i work in a private company for 4 years. My day to day job is done on Linux Debian and 99% of our servers are on Debian. We work mainly with open technologies and we love challenges with technology that we control/understand. As far as i recall, my first meet with linux, was in 2001/2002 (i don't remember exactly) with slackware and later with debian woody, it was just some test (not my main system) In 2005, i choose my grad school, in another for its hard Unix spirit. I wanted to become a unix power user. So, 2005 was my switching year to linux. I tested some distro and i choose debian as desktop station. In 2007, i changed my main distro to gentoo until 2010 (and my new laptop) where i switched to Arch. I never really took the time to get involved to my distro and since a long time i want it. Arch philosophy and simplicity, remember me slackware and makes me want to take the plunge. Regarding my skills I use a lot of linux technology in my work to design solutions to our problems (network operator, file transfer platform, streaming/cdn) or to maintain our critical systems. I also have skill in coding in C/C++, Python, Perl, lua, php, shell and some others. Regarding to arch, i maintain packages in AUR and fill bug report. I also plan to propose some patch in some times. As a TU, i would start by maintaining packages i use and which are not in community. To start i think to: arptables awesome conntrack-tools ebtables ferm fstrim lsscsi mtr-cli nload opera scsiadd ulogd vconfig After, I hope have enough time to more contribute to the distro and perhaps become a dev. Maybe working on pacman i've some ideas of improvment. Regards, -- Sébastien Luttringer www.seblu.net

[aur-general] Python AUR tarball naming
by David Campbell 28 Jan '11

28 Jan '11

I am updating some python tarballs in the AUR which appear to have been abandoned with the python switchover and don't have python3 versions. I created some python2 versions, named python2-foo, as this is what I thought was the correct practice, but found out the main(core, extra) python packages are not being renamed until python3 versions are available. So what is the correct practice? Should the old python tarballs be deleted and replaced by python2-foo versions or should the python tarballs just be made to work with python2?

[aur-general] AUR cleanup
by Dave Reisner 27 Jan '11

27 Jan '11

So, on the subject of cleanup, I've come across a list of 530 packages on sigurd that aren't accessible from the web interface. Judging from some of the names, I'd wager that these are packages which were deleted but something went wrong, etc etc. In total, it's about 20mb of space that would be freed. Any reason these shouldn't just be purged by someone with root privs? dave

[aur-general] Proposal for the reinstatement of AUR Cleanup Day.
by Thomas Dziedzic 26 Jan '11

26 Jan '11

Hello fellow Users/TUs, I have come across a rather old wiki entry [1] which was used for AUR Cleanup Day. It seems like we haven't had this day in quite some time, so I would like to have another AUR Cleanup Day where the community along with the TUs participate to clean things up in the AUR. We would use the wiki link to keep track of progress after cleaning it up a bit since the last time it was used. If I have enough people on board with this, I would like to make it an "AUR Cleanup Weekend" so that they can contribute whenever they have time. I would like to stress that this wouldn't be limited to only TU participation. Anyone would be able to see if there are broken packages, and list them on the wiki to have a TU look at it. I would like to make AUR Cleanup Weekend either this or next weekend. What do you think? [1] - https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR_Cleanup_Day

[aur-general] duplicates of tmux vcs...
by Martti Kühne 26 Jan '11

26 Jan '11

at the moment there are three vcs packages of tmux on aur. http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?K=tmux tmux-cvs is my package. tmux-git is a tmux developer's synchronisation which doesn't use a separate build directory, but may come in handy because it's git and the commit history is present. tmux-cvs-windowstatus is a patch for an obviously outdated cvs repo, because... the patch is for cmd-set-option.c - though right now the file containing that data is called options-table.c and the patched content has been issue to further changes afaict (being no more window-status-bell-* but window-status-alert-* instead for example). Guess it does not build. The third one may be deleted imho. And you know what, scratch mine as well... tmux-git is just fine. cheers!

23 Jan '11

The following is a proposed replacement for the current SVP section of the TU bylaws: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php?title=Bylaw_Amendment&oldid=124557 The changes address several issues recently brought up on this list. Briefly, these include: * enabling a vote to pass in the absence of quorum when more than 50% of active TUs have voted YES * enabling a vote to fail in the absence of quorum when 50% or more of active TUs have voted NO * clarifying the text to eliminate ambiguities Please see Kaiting's "[aur-general]Amendment" thread and Loui's "[aur-general][PATCH]tu-bylaws: Amend Standard Voting Procedure" thread for more details. This message marks the beginning of the 5-day discussion period before the amendment is put to a vote.
