[aur-general] orphan request
by Philipp 02 Dec '10

02 Dec '10

fim - Highly customizable and scriptable framebuffer image viewer based on fbi. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=15407 It seems to be out-of-date since 2009 and the PKGBUILD is lacking to say the least. I can't promise to fix/maintain it, but the current maintainer doesn't seem to maintain it. There are comments from March that seem to have gone unnoticed.

[aur-general] Delete packages: libmp3splt, mp3splt and mp3splt-gtk
by Denis A. Altoé Falqueto 02 Dec '10

02 Dec '10

Gentlemen, Please, delete these packages. I uploaded them thinking they didn't exist in our repositories, but the search I made was wrong. I searched with 'mp3split' but the packages are mp3splt, without that i, so I ended up creating the packages and uploading. Just noticed after the fact. Sorry for the trouble. -- A: Because it obfuscates the reading. Q: Why is top posting so bad? ------------------------------------------- Denis A.

[aur-general] Please delete picard-qt
by Kevin Vesga 02 Dec '10

02 Dec '10

This package is simply an old version of Picard (in community) and is not special: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=10232 If you think it should not be deleted at least change its name to picard09 or something. Picard is natively a Qt application so the name picard-qt makes no sense.

[aur-general] RM a bunch of duplicate perl packages
by Justin Davis 30 Nov '10

30 Nov '10

I adopted a bunch of orphaned perl packages awhile ago (as the aurperl user) and I noticed that there are some perl module packages that already exist in [extra]. The problem was that the packages in AUR use the more predictable perl package naming scheme while the [extra] packages use a custom naming scheme (i.e. gtk2-perl, gnome-perl, etc). Please delete these packages: [http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=25815] perl-gnome2 [http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=25816] perl-gnome2-canvas [http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=25819] perl-gnome2-panelapplet [http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=25817] perl-gnome2-vfs [http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=25818] perl-gnome2-gconf [http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=25813] perl-gtk2 [http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=25822] perl-gtk2-gladexml [http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=25814] perl-pango [http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=25812] perl-glib [http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=25810] perl-cairo Thanks -- -Justin

[aur-general] Acroread packages.
by Peter Lewis 30 Nov '10

30 Nov '10

Hi folks, Does anyone know of a reason why the bin32- acroread packages can't be deleted? The standard acroread packages support both arches now. (Just thought I'd check I wasn't missing anything before getting trigger happy...) Cheers, Pete.

[aur-general] crafty and xfce4-volstatus-icon up for adoptions
by Allan McRae 29 Nov '10

29 Nov '10

Hi, I no longer wish to maintain these packages in [community] so they are up for adoption. I will move them to the AUR in one week if no TU lets me know that they want to maintain them. crafty: A chess engine. The latest release gives heaps of compiler issues and my chess skills do not warrant playing against this so my motivation to fix is minimal... xfce4-valstatus-icon: Needs its source located. The link on its project page is dead and a _very_ brief search did not turn up anything. Allan

gnome-mount-lite [1] gnome-disk-utility replaces it mpich [2] and mpich2 [3] are the same. First one is outdated but probably has better naming. 1 should be deleted OR adopted by 2 maintainer (so that 2 can be removed) xautoclick-latest [4] should be removed because it is a dupe of xautoclick [5] (that was orphaned). I asked its maintainer to adopt the original package and update it. It was not updated yet. bargraph [6] I may be wrong but I believe this simply disappeared from the face of the internet. It has no packages dependents on it and may as well be deleted from aur too. programmers-dvorak [7] same as programmer-dvorak-console-map [8] but outdated and orphaned.
