It does not bother me that an upstream dev asks the maintainer to add some warnings about the early state of an application and the need of proper bug reports. And I'm fine with giving warnings about that. What I do not understand is him asking for the removal of a package. If he put a public svn he should accept that code is checked out from it. Anyway I do agree with the benefit of understanding and collaboration between open source communities.

[aur-general] Request delete of samba4-openchange
by Ng Oon-Ee 21 Dec '10

21 Dec '10

http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=41471 Reason: a duplicate of samba4 http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=40043 Background: Previous maintainer created samba4-openchange because openchange relies on a specific version of samba4 but samba4 advanced beyond that version. This is no longer the case, and in addition there doesn't seem to be much use of samba4 currently except for openchange (this is also the case in Debian/Fedora).

[aur-general] Packages looking for maintainer
by Sébastien Duquette 20 Dec '10

20 Dec '10

Hi, I'm currently the maintainer of 34 packages (mostly security related) and I would like to transfer them to someone else since I don't use Arch Linux anymore as my main distribution. However I would prefer not to leave the packages unmaintained, so please email me (include my email address as I'm not subscribed to this list) if you are interesting in adopting some of the packages. Here is the package list (maintainer name: ekse) blitzen cowpatty dissy dnsmap graudit halberd hwreport jumpnbump keimpx lft libdasm libdisasm libnetdude libpcapnav likepython (this one is silly :) ) memfetch netdude php-xhprof proxyfuzz psh ratproxy ruby-anemone ruby-nokogiri ruby-robots ruby-sqlite3-ruby sagan-rules sagan-svn sinatra smem tclx tcpreplay verbiste verbiste-gnome Thanks, Sébastien

[aur-general] TU Application
by Jelle van der Waa 20 Dec '10

20 Dec '10

Hello all. I would like apply to become a TU! Daenyth has decided to sponsor me for my TU application I'm 21 years old and a Bachelor student Computer Science. I have experience with C++, C, x86 ASM, Java, Python, PHP, SQL and javascript. I use archlinux on daily basis as a server and as desktop on my laptop. Since a year I am a maintainer at the Arch-Games project[0], since then i learned how to deal with makepkg, libpng/libjpeg patches, rebuilding packages for boost/python. Also learning how to work and setup clean chroots for 32 and 64 bit and how to improve PKGBUILDs and use tools like git/svn/namcap. I have had much fun and hard work working on updating packages for arch-games, Daenyth really helped me a lot and #archlinux and #archlinux-offtopic guys too ;) Also I must admit i have learned a lot from Ioni. I would like to become a Trusted User, so I can help packaging for community since something there are a lot of orphan packages so I will be always prepared to update/improve those packages. I would love to see improvements like more splitting of packages which has been done with packages like compiz. Also creating more any packages would be better for our mirrors. Since we didn't have much space for packages, I have had to split much data packages to "any". My current packaging interests are haskell, LaTeX, cli apps, virtualization. In the future i am looking into improving tools such as namcap. Feel free ask any questions here or on irc. [0] https://github.com/Arch-Games/arch-games P.S. Allan made me apply :P -- Jelle van der Waa

[aur-general] Deletion request for kernel26zen-git
by Marcel Korpel 18 Dec '10

Hi, As kernel26zen-git [1] has been replaced by zen-kernel [2] the former should be deleted (there's only a dummy PKGBUILD left). The only other thing that should be done is changing the dependency of nvidia-beta-zen [3] and tiacx-zen-svn [4] (though both packages are old/out of date). Thanks in advance.

[aur-general] Deletion request for uswsusp-cvs and maybe uswsusp too
by cantabile 18 Dec '10

18 Dec '10

Hi, uswsusp-cvs [1] doesn't build, says: suspend.c:12:2: erreur: #error "See README; this CVS does not contain current code" The readme says: "Warning: this CVS no longer contains latest version of suspend tools. Latest version is maintained in git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/suspend-utils.git" The project page [2] concurs. I have uploaded uswsusp-git [3]. The latest official release (version 0.8) will soon be three years old - do we want to keep it [4] ? Looking at the commit log [5], the latest git version is much nicer. Then there are these two: fbsplash-uswsusp [6] and uswsusp-fbsplash [7]. They both provide uswsusp 0.8 with --enable-fbsplash, the differences come from the patches they apply. Both pkgbuilds could use an update ($startdir, unnecessary makedeps, || return 1 ...)

Hi, Can somebody delete 'luafilesystem' in AUR? I did something really stupid: luafilesystem exists already in community.

I personally would check that automatically when submitting to AUR.

python-simpleparse [1] is not supporting python 3.x atm.
