Hi! I've written the Maintainer of these package: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=1586 two times but didn't recieve an answer. It's marked out of date and isn't updated since 2008 and now I would like to adopt it (if it's possible). Thanks. :) -- Greetz Michael Key: D273CD27 FP: 16E6 F8E8 A76D DDD4 C3AC FDFF 401D ED72 D273 CD27 --

[aur-general] Request for kmetronome
by Dany Martineau 24 Jul '10

24 Jul '10

Hi! Some time ago, I've send an email to the maintainer of kmetronome (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=17018) and did not receive an answer. I asked him if he would like to update his PKGBUILD or if he would like me to maintain (it's hasn't been updated since 2008). I would like to become the maintainer of kmetronome if it's possible and update his PKGBUILD. Thanks! -- Dany Martineau Enseignant en mathématiques École secondaire du Harfang 4e et 5e secondaire http://danym.org CSSMI

[aur-general] packaging a weird library, symlinks
by Philipp 22 Jul '10

22 Jul '10

Hi, I try to package the IUP toolkit. The build system is fairly weird, but in cooperation with the upstream project manager I think I know the steps necessary to package it. It would need a custom environment variable LUA_CPATH set to something matching the installed lib. Afaik this would be something the user would need to do manually, which I'd like to avoid. The IUP project manager suggested that a symlink might do the trick instead: iuplua.so -> libiuplua51.so Is this something sensible to do? -- Regards, Philipp -- "Wir stehen selbst enttäuscht und sehn betroffen / Den Vorhang zu und alle Fragen offen."

[aur-general] I (td123) will be going inactive for the next couple of weeks.
by Thomas Dziedzic 22 Jul '10

22 Jul '10

I will be going somewhere with supposedly little to no net connection. I should be back by Aug. 8th. I will only fix/maintain my current packages during this period (minimal work). Work on sage-mathematics to get it included into community will stall. Of course patches will be most appreciated but I don't expect anyone to take over. :) Cheers!

[aur-general] Moving airsnort to AUR
by Thorsten Töpper 21 Jul '10

21 Jul '10

Hello, I just adopted swiergot's package airsnort[1], however a look at the projects website made me aware that the last release was in January 2005 and the developers themselves recommend the usage of aircrack-ng. Any objections?

[aur-general] [flock] drop to AUR
by Ronald van Haren 21 Jul '10

21 Jul '10

Hey guys, I'd like to drop flock [1] (some social web browser) to AUR soon, if any of you want to continue to support it in community, be my guest. The reason I want to remove it is that I'm fed up with the company developing it. For years communicating with them hasn't been a pleasure. E-mails don't get answered, forum posts only if you ask something they like to answer. A few years ago they removed the source code only to add it to some svn server which they did not document and it took quite some time for somebody to tell me where I could find the source. Then all of a sudden they disabled public svn access and put some source tarballs up somewhere, of course agains without documentation and you have to hunt the link down somewhere in their forum in a reply to someone. They also removed the developer portal from their site. Need more reasons? Last month they released a brand new deprecated version based on the firefox 3.0 unmaintained code. Security anyone? Of course the source was only made available quite some time after the binaries were released. Their next upcoming browser, which they indicated would be based on firefox 3.5/3.6 for the last year, will suddenly be based upon chromium and is currently available in beta for windows and mac osx coming sometime later this month as they say. I have no idea if they will ever release a binary i686 linux version, nor if they will be releasing the source code anytime soon (if they are required to do so based upon the chromium license?). So even if they release the source code I'm not sure if it will be even remotely compatible with our libs or requires massive patching. I suppose I could go on, but that's the main reason I'd like to drop it. Ronald [1] http://www.flock.com/

[aur-general] moving winw-wow64 into community
by Sven-Hendrik Haase 18 Jul '10

18 Jul '10

The package-magician heftig managed to put together a wine-wow64 package which is currently in AUR and enables users to not only run 32bit Windows application on x86_64 Arch like bin32-wine but also 64bit Windows applications. Basically, it contains a 32bit and 64bit Windows environment to do this, a lot like native 64bit Windows installations do, in fact. We'd like to see this package replace bin32-wine in community. It is currently rather untested and before moving we'd like to ask the Arch community to test it first. Before we ask for the test though we first wanted to hear the dear opinions of this mailing list's fine gentlemen. Sadly, using it also implies moving a bunch of lib32s and the cross32 chain into community. This will be a problem for some people. To summarize: wine-wow64 is like bin32-wine but with the ability to run 64bit applications. -- Sven-Hendrik

[aur-general] Delete kmod-mkiss please
by Gordon JC Pearce 18 Jul '10

18 Jul '10

http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=31732 It doesn't work, and is fundamentally flawed. The short explanation is that enabling mkiss has further implications than just building a couple of modules, and really requires the kernel to be rebuilt. The long explanation might be better discussed with a kernel packager ;-) Gordon MM0YEQ

[aur-general] Delete fmod?
by Sven-Hendrik Haase 18 Jul '10

18 Jul '10

The fmod package (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=103) currently does not have any Google-accessible package source and upstream support for it has long been stopped. Its newer version, fmodex, is in community (yes, we do have permission to redistribute it). It thus doesn't build anymore. Should such a package be deleted or should it be left there? -- Sven-Hendrik

[aur-general] Packages that can be moved to aur
by Laurent Carlier 17 Jul '10

17 Jul '10

I would like to start a talk about packages that can be moved to aur, for various reasons, not only because they are orphaned, but essencially due to lack of maintainance upstream. Feel free to comment and add other packages. striim: http://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/striim/ Project seem dead upstream, better alternatives exist xf4vnc-xcliplistproto http://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/i686/xf4vnc-xcliplistproto/ Depend on a cvs snapshot from 2007, not update for 3 years (project is dead ?) xf4vnc-vncproto http://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/xf4vnc-vncproto/ Similar to xf4vnc-xcliplistproto sfarkxtc http://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/i686/sfarkxtc/ Binary only, x86 only (x86_64 with lib32), doesn't seem maintain upstream .......
