[aur-general] Package deletion request
by Gereon Schomber 23 Sep '10

23 Sep '10

Hi, I am the former maintainer of urbanterror-data that was adopted into [community]. However, my package urbanterror-client (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=21494) still exists and is useless because there is urbanterror in community which serves the same purpose (I guess). Therefore I request my package to be deleted. Best Regards Gereon Schomber

[aur-general] AUR - 'kernel26' search results
by Det 23 Sep '10

23 Sep '10

Hi, all of you nice people right there! Just paddled through 'kernel26' search results in AUR and obsolete/delete results with google and here's what I found (there's a lot more left, though) - all this stuff is left by people asking for the removal of the package in either the comment section or the pkgdesc, unaware of the AUR Mailing List or the IRC channel. Maybe there just should be a simple *remove* button: akonadi-caldav-svn: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=34613 gpacman-git: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=34987 gstreamer0.10-farsight: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=19750 haskell-bindings-common: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=27532 kdevelop-extra-plugins-git-git: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=37520 kpdf2: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=12299 (though, maybe not?) kernel26-ck1: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=39490 kernel26-vanilla-git: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=40266 network-manager-applet-notify-osd: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=34282 nvidia-173xx-ice: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=21059 nvidia-173xx-utils-xorg17: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=38504 nvidia-173xx-utils-xorg18: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=39101 nvidia-173xx-xorg17: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=38505 nvidia-173xx-xorg18: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=39191 nvidia-96xx-utils-xorg18: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=39005 nvidia-96xx-xorg18: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=39006 nvidia-opencl: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=31413 notify-osd-clickthrough-patch: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=36178 otrtool-git: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=40775 pcsxr-alsa: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=30663 rxvt-url-yank: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=17263 sopcast-player64: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=35480 ttf-anonymous: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=13389 There's also quite huge amount of all that other old kernel26/nvidia/etc. stuff but I guess they are going to stay.. :/.

What to do?

[aur-general] Move network-ups-tools to AUR
by Thorsten Töpper 21 Sep '10

21 Sep '10

Hello, network-ups-tools is long orphaned and since the version bump I did in spring we have an open ticket[1] not one of us could fix. I asked Roman who once maintained it, but he said he could not "provide any useful opinion here". So from my point of view, we can't do something about it, no one of us uses this software so it's better to give it to the AUR where people with the hardware can do something about it. Your opinion please. Thorsten [1] https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/19351 -- Jabber: atsutane(a)freethoughts.de Blog: http://atsutane.freethoughts.de/ Key: 295AFBF4 FP: 39F8 80E5 0E49 A4D1 1341 E8F9 39E4 F17F 295A FBF4

by Jakob Gruber 20 Sep '10

Hi, while going through the python rebuild, I came across a few packages which could be removal candidates: Dead sources: driconf openlh-client openlh-core openlh-server python-geotypes (could be temporary, see http://initd.org/) python-psycopg1 (could be temporary, see http://initd.org/) subdl tango-generator Broken builds: canorus gimpshop libdesktop-agnostic (awn-extras-applets depends on this) python-scipy Maybe somebody could take a look at fixing canorus/libdesktop-agnostic/python- scipy builds. Any opinions on removal of all other packages? schuay

[aur-general] Fwd: AUR Comment for gedit-plugins-extra
by Evangelos Foutras 19 Sep '10

19 Sep '10

I removed it from [community] because upstream stopped updating the plugin collection around two years ago. Most of the plugins included in the last release (2.24.1) are badly outdated by now. The preferable course of action is to add individual packages to the AUR for each of the plugins. (Packages for the latex and autotab plugins already exist.) ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: <aur-notify(a)archlinux.org> Date: Sun, Sep 19, 2010 at 9:22 PM Subject: AUR Comment for gedit-plugins-extra To: from http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=16505 bernarcher wrote: Is this alive anymore?

[aur-general] Inactivity: schiv
by Ray Rashif 19 Sep '10

19 Sep '10

Hi guys I'll be departing for a 7-day rural project in a couple of hours. Due to weight/space/carrying-capacity limitations I cannot bring along a laptop. I really believe it'll be out in the middle of nowhere, so the chances for computers, let alone Internet, are 0. As far as [extra] is concerned, there are no pending TODO tasks or flagged packages. None of the rebuilds for [community] has been completed, as I was waiting for community-staging. I have built some of them locally but they are not up in any of the servers or reflected in svn. I wish to complete all these remaining tasks after I get back, but if it's really urgent that they get done, please do help me out. Thanks! Regards -- GPG/PGP ID: B42DDCAD

Hi all, I'm asking for removal of teamspeak-beta29-2 [1], it is a duplicate of teamspeak3, it has version in the name (even pkgver!), and maintainer agreed that it should be removed, but no request has been submitted in a week (see last comment on that page).

[aur-general] AUR/[extra]/[community] duplicates
by Lukas Fleischer 18 Sep '10

18 Sep '10

Hi, Just wrote a small script to check for duplicate package names in the AUR and the official repos and created a list of duplicates. For each of the packages I quickly checked AUR and [extra]/[community] package versions, AUR comments and whether there seem to be some additional patches in the AUR version. It might be better to double check tho... The following packages already are in [extra] and AUR versions seem to be equivalent or outdated: - gcin: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=39653 - gthumb: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=27129 - libwpg: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=25652 - perl-class-factory-util: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=25955 - perl-class-inspector: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=10540 - perl-datetime-format-builder: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=25956 - perl-datetime-format-strptime: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=9334 - perl-image-size: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=3286 - perl-time-hires: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=35514 - perl-xml-parser: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=40119 - v4l-utils: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=38218 - xpyb: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=19975 Following packages already are in [community] and AUR versions seem to be equivalent or outdated: - cadaver: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=8635 - cksfv: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=8688 - evas-svn: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=19315 - gpsbabel: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=37028 - kim4: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=38648 - ktoblzcheck: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=9104 - lwp: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=8703 - perl-parse-recdescent: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=36080 - pulseaudio-mixer-applet: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=24016 - qoauth: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=28485 - remmina: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=38933 - springlobby: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=39670 - urbanterror-data: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=21493 - winegame: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=37828 - winestuff: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=37829 - wmctrl: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=1294 - lib32-alsa-oss: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=12815 - lib32-ati-dri: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=29742 - lib32-intel-dri: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=24770 - lib32-libmng: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=20890 - lib32-libstdc++5: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=11191 Quite a few packages that are already in the official repos are maintained by the Arch Haskell team in the AUR. I'm not sure what to do with them. These packages include: - darcs: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=39679 - happy: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=26280 - gtk2hs-buildtools: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=37478 - haskell-cgi, haskell-dataenc, haskell-deepseq, haskell-extensible-exceptions, haskell-hashed-storage, haskell-haskeline, haskell-hunit, haskell-mmap, haskell-quickcheck, haskell-regex-base, haskell-regex-compat, haskell-regex-posix, haskell-stm, haskell-terminfo Following packages should probably stay in the AUR although they're duplicates, check AUR comments: - awesome: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=13038 - q4wine: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=36728 - sk1: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=16559 - sk1libs: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=35066 gadmin-samba (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=40599) seems to be newer than the package in [community] but the project homepage says the [community] package is still up-to-date. Maybe the AUR version is an unstable release? sleuthkit (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=2012) and the sleuthkit package in [community] seem to have some differences in the PKGBUILD. Not sure what to do, check AUR comments. So far... Hope that helps :) Regards, Lukas
