[aur-general] VirtualBox in [community]
by Heiko Baums 28 Dec '10

28 Dec '10

In the [community] repo there are the following packages in addition to the package virtualbox 4.0.0-2: virtualbox-additions 4.0.0-1 (any) virtualbox-guest-additions 4.0.0-2 (i686 and x86_64) virtualbox-guest-modules 4.0.0-2 (i686 and x86_64) In ABS there's only virtualbox-additions. What is what package? And is virtualbox-additions a duplicate of virtualbox-guest-additions? If yes, it would be nice, if this could be removed from [community] without moving it to AUR. And it would be nice if virtualbox-ext-oracle (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=44761) would be moved to [community], too, so that virtualbox is completely in [community] with all its features. And, btw., does it really make sense to split virtualbox? I mean in most cases the virtualbox-guest-additions and virtualbox-guest-modules are needed for running virtualbox or the guests anyway.

[aur-general] Deletion request for picviz
by Antoine Lubineau 27 Dec '10

27 Dec '10

Hello, I have adopted picviz [1] a few days ago to update it, and I chose to keep the same splitting as upstream, so I have made packages for libpicviz [2], picviz-cli [3] and picviz-gui [4]. Please remove picviz [1], which is now obsolete. Thanks, Antoine Lubineau [1] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=26983 [2] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=44717 [3] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=44718 [4] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=44719

[aur-general] delete packages
by Joao Cordeiro 27 Dec '10

Banshee mirage plugin is now part of the Banshee Community Extensions project, as you can confirm in [1] - read April 7th news and check where source link points to. Since the community extensions have an AUR package, all mirage plugin packages should be deleted [2] and [3]. Thanks in advance, João Cordeiro [1] http://hop.at/mirage/ [2] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=19007 [3] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=13138

[aur-general] libxkbcommon-git & libxkbcommon(-git) - wooot?
by Det 24 Dec '10

24 Dec '10

Hellooooooooh, Please wipe out either libxkbcommon [1] or libxkbcommon-git [2] from the face of the AUR. These things are essentially the same package (since they both use git), which makes the other one redundant. 'libxkbcommon' was there first but it has the wrong naming scheme and not that many votes for it to really matter if it somehow was suddenly dematerialized(!).
