[aur-general] Deletion request: kyotocabinet-python3 (renamed)
by Alexander Duscheleit 19 Oct '10

19 Oct '10

Hi, please delete kyotocabinet-python3 (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=40151) I have renamed the package to kyotocabinet-python to reflect the move to Python 3. Additionally: The kyotocabinet packet in AUR (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=39143) is out-of-date for quite some time now, and the referenced sources are not available any more. I would be willing to maintain this packet, but I've just mailed the maintainer today, so he should probably be given some more time to respond before orphaning it. -- Jinks

Mediatomb 0.12.1-2 appears to be in community already, so does that mean the AUR version is superfluous? http://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/i686/mediatomb/ http://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/mediatomb/ Gordon MM0YEQ

[aur-general] Leaving Arch Linux (and computer world for a while) (delete AUR account)
by Dany Martineau 18 Oct '10

18 Oct '10

Hi! Due to new responsibilities in my life, i have to abandon all packages that i've owned in AUR (there are 150 of them). I think that the easier way to do it is to delete my AUR account. Is it possible to do it so? Maybe i'll have to work with Arch Linux when i'll get more time in my hands someday.... Thank you to all for your support! -- Dany Martineau Enseignant en mathématiques École secondaire du Harfang 5e secondaire http://danym.org CSSMI

[aur-general] Delete request: bibletime-kde4 bibletime-i18n
by Christoph 18 Oct '10

18 Oct '10

Please remove the following packages: bibletime-kde4 http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=21617 bibletime-i18n http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=15503 bibletime-kde4 is not necessary any longer because the maintainer has adopted and updated bibletime (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=1740) which was orphaned and in former times contained a quite old KDE3-version (see package comments). bibletime-i18n is orphaned, too, and flagged out-of-date, and also refers to the old KDE3-version. The new (and currently maintained) KDE4-version does not have a seperate i18n-package any more. Thanks, Christoph

[aur-general] Cleanup regarding Gens (Genesis emulator) packages
by Try Again 16 Oct '10

16 Oct '10

Hi, As Gens (which contains i386 asm code) is now compilable on x86_64 thanks to multilib packages, I wrote updated PKGBUILDs for gens and gens-gs (a fork of gens). However, many entries in the AUR provide Gens but are somewhat dead or abandoned. So, here are my requests : - first, gens-opengl, gens-mythgame-opengl, gens-cvs, bin32-gens should be deleted. Theirs sources are unreachable and OpenGL support is integrated in gens-gs. - secondly, I would like to adopt gens-gs. Its maintainer did not answer to our multiple requests for updating the sources URL. On the other end, the maintainer of gens still seems active, so I'll try to contact him. - finally, if I adopt and update gens-gs, bin32-gens-gs becomes useless. AUR URLs : - gens-opengl: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=1463 - gens-mythgame-opengl: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=10966 - gens-cvs: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=691 - bin32-gens: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=19663 - gens-gs: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=21612 - bin32-gens-gs: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=24073

[aur-general] Greetings from Alibloke
by Alasdair Haswell 16 Oct '10

16 Oct '10

Hello, I've recently joined this list and thought I should introduce myself. I'm a linux sysadmin for a fairly large hosting company and have been using linux for around eight years now. I've been running Arch for a little over a year and it's quickly become my distro of choice. The AUR is an exceptional resource and I've decided to contribute some of my time towards maintaining some packages. I've picked up an orphan; rng-tools and updated it to the latest version. It's my first attempt at writing a PKGBUILD, any comments/suggestions would be welcome. I'm also looking at updating the meanwhile library, it looks to have been out of date for some years now. I've emailed the maintainer with no response - how would I go about taking over this package? Regards, Ali.

[aur-general] Wine removal requests
by Det 16 Oct '10

16 Oct '10

Heyeyeh, So here's some unnecessary/obsolete wine packages that should be wiped out from the face of AUR Ò_Ó: bin32-wine-wow-hardware-cursor: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=33975 wine-stable-wc: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=33231 wine-wc: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=27298 wine-wow-hardware-cursor: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=33974 (users claiming that WoW patch v4.0.1 allows the usage of [community]/[multilib]'s vanilla wine without issues - so all those WoW Wine packages have become obsolete) wine-key: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=30473 (maintainer claims that "the key repeat bug has been fixed a loooong time ago") Thanks for your time, Det

[aur-general] Changing email address for account on AUR

14 Oct '10

I've just inherited the arch-haskell AUR account from Don, and yesterday I did two things: • Changed the email address associated with the account • Changed the password for the account I managed to fail with both: • I misspelt the email address, it should have been magnus+arch-haskell(a)therning.org • I failed in copy-pasting the correct password into the encrypted file where I keep credentials related to arch-haskell Any chance I can get any help sorting this out? /M -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) magnus＠therning．org Jabber: magnus＠therning．org http://therning.org/magnus identi.ca|twitter: magthe

[aur-general] Assigning Numbers to User and Group
by Steve Holmes 14 Oct '10

14 Oct '10

I've been working on an alternate PKGBUILD for speech dispatcher where it would run as a system wide service by default. In doing this, I created a user, speechd and a group, a11y so I could keep the speech environment secure through the unix domain socket. So far, it seems to be looking and working pretty good. Anyway, I don't know how numeric IDs are assigned to users and groups - especially those intended to be used by system daemons like mysql or postgreql. I have postgresql on my box and it does this same kind of thing with user and group creation. Do you know what values I should be using so I don't conflict with other potential packages? If you want an example of what I'm talking about, see the PKGBUILD script for postgreql it creates a user and group on the fly as needed. I plan to do the same with my project. Thanks for any help you can.
