[aur-general] Please delete offlineimap-idle-git
by Ng Oon-Ee 14 Oct '10

14 Oct '10

Source no longer exists, it was merged into offlineimap back some time ago (and subsequently deleted for causing too many crashes). offlineimap itself is unfortunately unmaintained (but still working for now). http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=30592

[aur-general] Request for deletion: gmpc-plugins-0.20.0
by Cédric Girard 13 Oct '10

13 Oct '10

Hi, Could someone please delete the package gmpc-plugins-0.20.0 [1]? The package is a duplicate of gmpc-plugins and has not been updated since its creation despite missing dependencies. I think this package was first created because gmpc-plugins was out-of-date and not orphaned. I've contacted the previous maintainer since and taken over. Thanks.

[aur-general] ttf-ubuntu
by Simon Legner 13 Oct '10

13 Oct '10

Hi, the AUR package ttf-ubuntu-beta [1] is outdated and replaced by the packages mentioned below. I'd remove it. ttf-ubuntu-family-fonts [2] and ttf-ubuntu-font-family [3] provide the new ubuntu font. The former package uses a package name not complying with the source filename. Further on it uses strange version numbers and it is built using a source archive from font.ubuntu.com, but uses only the precompiled ttf-files. Therefore the download 2.3MB instead of 0.7MB seems unnecessary. Please consider deletion of ttf-ubuntu-beta [1] and ttf-ubuntu-family-fonts [2]. Regards, Simon [1] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=40402 [2] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=41204 [3] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=41465

This program is now located under "mesa-demos". fusion-icon complains about the missing glxinfo and won't start, so install "mesa-demos" manually at the moment. @fusion-icon maintainer: Should be added as a depend to the package or at least a note should be posted to that. -Daniel

Four examples is probably plenty. You probably shouldn't add bashisms into the inittab either.

[aur-general] python/python2/python3 changes
by Rémy Oudompheng 09 Oct '10

09 Oct '10

Hello, Since python 2.7 in testing is now /usr/bin/python2 but not /usr/bin/python, most AUR packages using python should be changed to use /usr/bin/python2 and depend on python2 instead of python unless they use Python 3. Idon't think this has been mentioned explicitly on this mailing-list before. This change should leave packages compatible with the python package in extra. Any additional comments? -- Rémy.

An ABS-like tree (perhaps kept in a Darcs > repo for extra points :-) and a place to upload binary packages and the repo > DB to. I support that idea. I would really like to host that on the same server as [community] and [multilib] repos, if the total size of the repositories is not too big, but I fear it would be several gigabytes. I imagine: - keeping ghc + several basic modules in extra/community for bootstrapping - a darcs repo one for the scripts * a script that builds packages (possibly inspired by devtools, for example an analogue of archbuild taking multiple arguments) * a script handling rebuilds (build all reverse dependencies of something in the right order) possibly just an option to the previous script * a script that updates a given collection of PKGBUILDs by calling cabal2arch * a script that moves built packages to the repositories (like commitpkg in devtools) - a darcs repo for the PKGBUILDs * one dir per package, and subdirs $package/trunk, $package/repo (holding the current WIP version of the PKGBUILD and one corresponding to the binary package in repo) * people are supposed to do only a partial checkout of the darcs repo, I know Git can do that, but that said, a full working copy is only a few thousand files. Is darcs as efficient as Git for storage ? I expect the transfer size for a full cloning to be less than 5MB. Leaving xmonad and its dependencies in the main repos in probably fine. -- Rémy

Deeply sorry but I forgot to rename it before uploading it to AUR. I've loaded another one called qemu-6828 which was intended. So please remove the old one, though I've disowned it. BTW, is there any convenient way for a maintainer to remove his package by himself, err, in case of a mistake... -- Cyker Way Email:cykerway@gmail.com <Email%3Acykerway(a)gmail.com>

Probably not allowed to do so, but I figured I would ask. In a PKGBUILD can we do something like: echo "Do you want to enable GTK support?" read gtk if [[ "gtk" == "yes" ]]; then ./configure --with-gtk and so on. Thanks

[aur-general] delete incorrectly named package
by Andreas Wagner 06 Oct '10

06 Oct '10

I came across a disowned package( http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=23013 ). The former contributor just put "svn" in the pkver field. It should be named n2n-svn. I adopted it however there is no non-vcs source release so I can't convert into a stable package. I set the new package ( http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=41506 ) to replace "n2n svn-2". I think this misnamed package should be deleted. Thanks, Andreas Wagner
