[aur-general] Shall I move mplayer-vaapi to [community]?
by Evangelos Foutras 18 Aug '10

18 Aug '10

Hi guys, I've been using mplayer-vaapi [1] with my Radeon HD 4200 IGP for a couple of months now and I think it's a very useful package. Recently, its maintainer in the AUR dropped it because he switched to libvdpau. So, I've been thinking of adopting it and moving it to [community]. I haven't done anything yet, as I'm a bit unsure of whether I should go forward with the move. On one hand, a binary package for mplayer-vaapi is included in the unofficial, but well maintained, catalyst repo [2], but on the other hand it still is a useful package and it only has an additional dependency on libva (available in [extra]) compared to the straight mplayer package; it'd be nice to have it in [community]. On an semi-related note, I was also thinking of moving xvba-video to [community] as well, but it depends on the catalyst package which has a very complicated PKGBUILD (i.e. manual installation of every file). Therefore, I don't have any plans to mess with that for now. :P Thoughts? :> ---- [1] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=35321 [2] http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ATI_Catalyst#Catalyst.27s_repositories

[aur-general] Removal request: brscan2-usb
by Sven Schneider 18 Aug '10

18 Aug '10

Hi, the package brscan2-usb [1] provides the same functionality as brscan2 [2]. I think brscan2-usb can be deleted as it's outdated and brscan2 is the upstream name. Greetings Sven [1] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=19856 [2] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=19122

[aur-general] Move community/*avr* to the AUR.
by Thomas Dziedzic 18 Aug '10

18 Aug '10

Hi, I have noticed that all the avr packages have been orphans ever since I can remember. gcc-avr hasn't been updated yet, and wasn't even marked out of date when I checked today. (had to mark it myself and I don't use it). I would like to move the following packages to the AUR where someone more interested in them will be able to take good care of them. avr-libc gcc-avr binutils-avr avrdude

[aur-general] Trusted User Application
by Jonathan Conder 18 Aug '10

18 Aug '10

Hi everyone, I would like to apply to become a Trusted User. Ionuț/wonder has kindly agreed to sponsor me. Anyway, here is some info about me: Who am I? My name is Jonathan Conder, from Auckland, New Zealand. I'm currently a full-time student studying Maths and Computer Science (among other things). I've been using Linux since early 2008, after a bit of distro-hopping I moved to Arch, and was very impressed by the wiki and the degree of control I gained over my system. My forum username is PirateJonno, maybe some of you have seen me around. Why do I want to be a TU? Well, Arch has been my distribution of choice for several years now, and I would like to give something back to the community. I hope that this position will enable me to move some popular AUR packages to community. What packages am I interested in? Firstly, I would like to adopt MythTV (and related packages) since they seem to have no current maintainer. This would involve moving them out of extra and into community of course. If the need arises, I would also be willing to maintain anything I have installed, which boils down to a lot of GNOME desktop applications, a few games, and various multimedia programs or libraries. Other packages I would be interested in bringing to community are: fbsplash (along with a few themes) gnome-colors-icon-theme mediatomb (possibly with a few patches) nspluginwrapper-flash (if this presents no ideological issues) Also, I have a few projects of my own that could be added in future, namely PackageKit and nautilus-makepkg. See my AUR/GitHub pages at: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?SeB=m&K=PirateJonno http://github.com/PirateJonno Can I do the job? I think I have enough experience packaging for Arch to become a TU. Although I don't maintain many AUR packages, I would do if the need arose. I often modify others' packages to change the configure flags, add a custom patch, enable debugging symbols, etc. My work on PackageKit has made me very familiar with the packaging system itself. I am also a reasonably experienced C/C++ programmer, which means I am usually pretty good at tracking down bugs. My ability to find bugs in unfamiliar code is also improving. For example, here are some I have reported/fixed: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/buglist.cgi?email1=j% 40skurvy.no-ip.org&emailtype1=exact&emailreporter1=1 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/buglist.cgi?email1=j% 40skurvy.no-ip.org&emailtype1=exact&emailreporter1=1 http://bugs.archlinux.org/index.php?status[]&opened=PirateJonno Thanks for your time, Jonathan

[aur-general] Proposal to move sage-mathematics into [community].
by Thomas Dziedzic 16 Aug '10

16 Aug '10

Hello, I am the maintainer of aur/sage-mathematics. I think this package has matured to the point where it could be included into the community repository. There are no issues with this package that I am currently aware of. Its inclusion into community would probably save a lot of compilation time for everyone. The namcap and built package could be found at: http://pkgbuild.com/~td123/ The package is ~700MB per architecture. I didn't modularize this package because upstream doesn't intend to modularize it, and because of the amount of work that would require, not only to split everything off, but to make sure nothing breaks at the same time. Case in point, http://github.com/cschwan/sage-on-gentoo I would like to start discussing its inclusion now. Cheers!

Please delete package [1] , it replaces rc.sysinit and rc.multi, provided by the initscripts package, which is just plain wrong, and it has been disowned.

Re: [aur-general] Remove kernel-liquorix
by Raul Castillo 16 Aug '10

16 Aug '10

This was already obsolete whenever I found it. It was version 2.6.31 or something like that. I tried to update it but kept getting ASM errors. I have created new PKGBUILDs based on kernel26-bfs and nvidia-bfs and named kernel26-lqx and nvidia-lqx respectively. I have tested and am using the builds now on my PC for x86_64 and everything is working good. So pretty much this PKGBUILD is obsolete/not working and I have uploaded an undated version using the .configs from liquorix.net project.
