[aur-general] Delete packages tbe and the_butterfly_effect
by Federico Chiacchiaretta 23 Jun '10

23 Jun '10

Hi all, tbe [1] and the_butterfly_effect [2] are duplicates of thebutterflyeffect [3], which is the first of three uploaded. Yesterday [3] has been updated at the latest version and it's actively maintained, so I'm asking for removal of [1] and [2]. I also suggested maintainer of [1] and [2] to ask for removal of their packages (see comments), they agreed but no request has been made until now. [1] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=38215 [2] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=38230 [3] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=34214

[aur-general] poppler soname bump
by Jan de Groot 22 Jun '10

22 Jun '10

The poppler/poppler-glib update to 0.14 includes a soname bump for poppler and poppler-glib. Packages depending on these libraries should be rebuilt. I already did all packages in extra, some packages in community still need an update. To track the rebuild, a todo list was created: http://www.archlinux.org/todo/38/ Please rebuild these packages in community-testing and flag them as complete after that.

[aur-general] [Delete] libprojectm-qt
by h2oz7v 22 Jun '10

22 Jun '10

The following packages are exactly the same except for the slight name variation. projectm-qt <http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=16242> libprojectm-qt <http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=33049> For consistency with the other projectM packages on AUR, I think the orphaned *libprojectm-qt* should be deleted to avoid confusion.

[aur-general] Golang in AUR
by Stephen Weinberg 21 Jun '10

21 Jun '10

The aur has far too many versions of go (http://golang.org) Many of them are out of date. I went though and tried to find as many as I could. I believe most of these should be deleted. go-google-mercurial http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=31969 I think this one should be deleted. go is in community and this does not have provides/conflicts with that package. golang http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=31912 Very old. I am not even sure if it works. It is also missing provides/conflicts. go-hg http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=33695 Much better! Missing provides but has conflicts. PKGBUILD looks sound. go-lang-hg http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=31913 This one is the best. It does not have any problems. It looks like it is mostly a copy of the one from abs except it fetches the tip instead of release. It also has provides/conflicts. go-lang-hg has only one flaw, the name. I think it should be named go-hg since it is the hg of a package in community. If I am wrong on any of this, let me know. I am new to packaging and I have only made three of them. I am still learning :-). -- Stephen

[aur-general] delete xar and rename xar-archive to xar
by solsTiCe d'Hiver 18 Jun '10

18 Jun '10

as xar package is unmaintained since 2007 it could be deleted and xar-archive renamed to xar. Of course you better notify the owners of these packages first ;-) xar seems not to see any developped recently but may be a 1.5.3 release will come soon.

[aur-general] kdeplasma-addons-applets-daisy: unmaintained duplicate, can probably go.
by Peter Lewis 18 Jun '10

18 Jun '10

Hi, kdeplasma-addons-applets-daisy http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=31392 is unmaintained and duplicates plasma-daisy-plasmoid http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=25203 so can probably be safely deleted. Incidentally, is there any naming convention for KDE plasmoid packages? A quick search reveals a whole range of approaches: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?O=0&K=plasm&do_Search=Go Appending -plasmoid seems the most popular, but having kdeplasma-addons or something simliar at the start of the package name also seems sensible. Thanks, Pete.

[aur-general] mpfr-3.0.0 rebuild
by Allan McRae 17 Jun '10

17 Jun '10

Hi, I will be uploading mpfr-3.0.0 soon. This requires a small amount of rebuilds (see below - I have not made a todo list). I will handle all of [core] and [extra]. I will also be pulling a new gcc-4.5 snapshot as the bug we patch out has be properly fixed upstream along with a couple of other useful fixes. [core] gcc/gcc-ada/gcc-fortran/gcc-objc libmpc [extra] genius rasqal seed [community] cross-arm-elf-gcc-base gcc-avr mingw32-gcc mingw32-gcc-base BTW, we really need to standarise cross-compiler naming...

Hi DEVs/TUs, these packages are out-of-date from time and needed by none. Can I move them on AUR? I will wait 2 days because I do not know many of them, maybe someone is useful.

[extra] - biopython - gcin - glabels - linux_logo - nss_ldap - pam_ldap - prelink - pylint - python-cheetah - python-formencode - python-sqlobject (needed by pacbuild, but does pacbuild still work?!) - python-gdata (needed by pytube in [community]) - python-vpython [community] - live-f1 - sauerbraten -- Andrea Scarpino - andreascarpino.it KDE Maintainer in Arch Linux

[aur-general] possible dup?
by jwbirdsong 15 Jun '10

15 Jun '10

I've asked this on #archlinux-aur and never got a response, figured I'd ask here for procedure (at least). Pkg http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=19673 _APPEARS _to be a out of date dup of http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=22734. (well actually my pkg is prolly considered the dup as it is a new pkg) As far as I can tell the functionality of these is exactly same. http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=19673 has been outdated for some time apparently. comments and lack of response to email seem to indicate maintainer absence. Seems some one has link to rapidshare for an up-to-date pkg on comments; that seems like bad business to me. Is it acceptable to put link to my pkg in comments? (Assuming pkg really are identical) Just ask for disown then take over and delete new pkg? Not sure what is "proper" procedure here. Thanks and sorry for long winded post. JWB

Hello, please delete my aur/eclipse35-gwt package (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=33599) This adds the GWT-Plugin to Eclipse. The problem is, the plugin needs GWT-SDK set up. It is much easier to install the plugin using the 'Update-Site'. Thanks, bb.
