[aur-general] Please delete python2-openerp-client
by Hervé Cauwelier 27 Oct '10

27 Oct '10

Please delete python2-openerp-client 5.0.14-1 [1]. I set it up from a request, but then the maintainer of the original package [2] gave it to me. Switching to Python 3 is not yet possible but I don't think keeping "python2" in the name is a good idea as it is not a library. I added a "conflicts" in the new version to smooth the transition.

[aur-general] Please delete aptana-studio
by Smartboy 24 Oct '10

24 Oct '10

Hello, Today I noticed that in AUR there are two packages which seem to do the same thing, one named Aptana[1] and the other Aptana-Studio[2]. Looks like Aptana-Studio is much newer than Aptana with fewer votes, and was created initially instead of ophraning Aptana. Therefore, I propose Aptana-Studio to be deleted. Thanks, Smartboy [1] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=7147 [2] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=31634

[aur-general] Request for Removal: python2-oggconvert
by Andrew M. Kluger 22 Oct '10

22 Oct '10

I apologize if I'm doing something wrong, I'm uncomfortable with mailing lists. I submitted an AUR pkgbuild for python2-oggconvert, but it is no longer necessary since the oggconvert maintainer updated to account for the python upgrade. I couldn't find any information on the AUR site or the arch wiki on how to remove a package I've uploaded, but yugrotavele suggested the best way would be to subscribe to this mailing list then send an email to everyone asking for someone else to delete the package. Will someone please kill that package for me? And will someone tell me if there's a better way to do this, for future reference? http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=42034 Thanks for any help, Andy

[aur-general] TU Application: Lukas Fleischer
by Lukas Fleischer 21 Oct '10

21 Oct '10

Hi! My name is Lukas Fleischer, I'm a 20-year-old student from Germany, studying Computer Science at the University of Stuttgart, freelance web-developper, IT consultant and hobbyist DJ. I've been using GNU/Linux for about three years (used OpenBSD and FreeBSD before) and Arch Linux probably for about two years. Since then, Arch Linux has become my Desktop distribution of choice being installed and used on four of my workstations and one server (i686 as well as x86_64, one box using [testing] and [community-testing] repos). Besides Arch Linux, I'm still using Debian, Gentoo and *BSD as server distributions/OS. I'm a hardcore CLI user (zsh, tmux, mutt, irssi, mplayer, calcurse just rock!), experienced programmer (10+ years) specialized in Perl, C and Assembly and, as I already said, web-developper (PHP, MySQL, PostgreSQL). As I read about Loui looking for help with the AUR multiple times on aur-dev, I thought I'd just give a try and apply for TU. My main interests would be to help out with AUR development (just check some of the patches I sent to aur-dev) and AUR cleanups (you might e.g. want to have a look at aurdupes [1] and some of my mails to aur-general), double-check popular AUR packages, and, of course, to maintain a couple of packages in [community] including remuco, redshift, tinyproxy, mixxx (I'd also like to see xwax in [community] but sadly, it's not really popular), pytyle, optionally surf and tabbed and maybe some of the OpenSync stuff (I'm still trying to get it work with calcurse and my Symbian phone). I currently maintain 22 packages in the AUR [2] and previously maintained some other packages that have been moved to [community] (e.g. perl-datetime-format-iso8601, perl-task-weaken, winetricks). You might also want to check my "archlinux-packages" GIT repository [3] which is (almost) always up-to-date. If you check some of the PKGBUILDs you might notice that I care about consistency and conformity with standards (although not all of the packages might stick to that, especially virtualbox_bin still looks kinda ugly and contains some legacy stuff). I'd really appreciate any kind of positive criticism and improvement suggestions as regards that! Well, if there are any questions left, feel free to ask. And before I forget, Loui has agreed to be my sponsor :) Regards, Lukas [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=40869 [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?SeB=m&K=cryptocrack [3] http://git.cryptocrack.de/?p=archlinux-packages.git;a=summary

That version isn't compatible to the libreoffice language packs. In the AUR is libreoffice-bin, it's the libreoffice beta and compatible to the also provided language packs of libre office.

[aur-general] Libreoffice in AUR
by Ng Oon-Ee 20 Oct '10

20 Oct '10

I just noticed that libreoffice-new has been uploaded. Contrary to the last post in https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=105664 the old libreoffice in the AUR has not yet (to my searching) been deleted (I think its been reuploaded). Obviously, its exactly the same. I wonder what the point is of having libreoffice-new though. It's basically just extracting of some rpms, as compared to the libreoffice from [testing]. I propose that libreoffice[1] and libreoffice-new[2] be deleted. The author should reupload as libreoffice-bin. If a TU agrees, I volunteer to email the author.

[aur-general] openjdk dev packages.
by Peter Lewis 20 Oct '10

20 Oct '10

Hi folks, There's currently a very out of date openjdk development version package here: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=14671 It's also currently orphaned and doesn't build any more. However, there's quite a lot of information in there and though it would probably normally be deleted for being very out of date, orphaned and no longer building on a current system, I don't want to delete it due to the work that's obviously gone into it. This would probably have to be redone if and when someone wanted an openjdk development package. It should be probably renamed openjdk-dev and given some love... does anyone who knows more about building Java fancy taking it under their wing? Otherwise, I suppose that we can just leave it orphaned for such a time as someone does... Cheers, Pete.
