[aur-general] saga-gis and ggobi packages
by Fuchs, Dominik 05 Mar '10

05 Mar '10

Dear all, I'd be interested in taking over the maintanance of the saga-gis and ggobi packages, they appear to be unmaintained as updates have not occured since 2007 - the author (ChicoGeek) has not replied to an e-mail in early March. Could you orphan them so I can adopt? Regards, Dominik --- Dominik Fuchs (dominik.fuchs(a)wur.nl) PhD candidate Wageningen UR, Land Dynamics Group, P.O.

[aur-general] kernels packages
by Mirco Chinelli 04 Mar '10

04 Mar '10

Hi guys! In the last days i have experienced some problems with kernel26-bfs and relative nvidia drivers. I don't think it's packagers' fault. But the only way I used to make the kernel package work it out is to use the PKGBUILD from the arch repository adapted to my needs.PKGBUILD for splitted packages is the main difference. I guess that could reduce maintainers' workload. I read we can't use this way to make packages, but why? Thanks! Bye Apologies in advance for my bad english. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Mirco Chinelli - Proto e-mail: infinity89(a)fastwebmail.it Gmail/GTalk/Jabber: infinity89.linux(a)gmail.com MSN: cmir89(a)hotmail.com skype: mirco.chinelli Linux Foundation Member: mirco.chinelli(a)linux.com

Hello to everyone ! I was the contributor of stasks-manager-plasmoid PKGBUILD. There have been no updates for a long time and it's replaced by smooth-tasks-plasmoid. Please delete it, it's not useful (and it can't be built upon KDE 4.4) any more... Regards, Panos Filip

[aur-general] Away
by Andrea Scarpino 02 Mar '10

02 Mar '10

Hi DEVs and TUs, my exams session is over, and I need a short holiday in London. I will be away starting from some hours to 2nd afternoon/night (GMT). I am building KDE 4.4.1 packages and everything seems fine. Before to go, I will upload them into my staging/extra dir, so you can take them. This minor release will be released 2nd March; I should come back in time to run /arch/db-extra, anyway Ronald and Pierre are here for everything. Free to fix high or medium priority bugs assigned to me or to update my packages. Thanks. Best Regards -- Andrea `bash` Scarpino Arch Linux Developer

[aur-general] Remove AUR packages
by Erol Grahm 01 Mar '10

01 Mar '10

Hi, Since I'm a new PKGBUILD creator and learning, my first packages we're messed up, I'm sorry to bother you but could you remove the following packages for me (me, Corex is the creator and maintainer of these): Package - Reason cn3d - Binary's gives an "Illegal Instruction" at launch, think its kernel related since the custom kernel on my Media Desktop works just fine, we're currently working on another solution. wxwidgets-wxall - Made a mistake by naming this, it's actually wxwidgets-motif but we need it for NCBI package so the build flags is going to be different, we're making a new package on this too. (Cn3D is part of NCBI sources) Thank You Regards Corex

[aur-general] Removal request - soqt-svn, pivy-svn, coin-mercurial
by Michele Mocciola 28 Feb '10

28 Feb '10

Please remove: - soqt-svn (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=27293) - pivy-svn (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=32334) - coin-mercurial (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=34241) SVN version of SoQt and Pivy are no more updated, just because developers now use mercurial (see soqt-hg (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=34865) and pivy-hg (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=34864) ). Also coin has past to mercurial, so I created "coin-mercurial", however I think it's better to change its name to "coin-hg". Thanks, mickele

[aur-general] vim-git : removal request
by Xavier Chantry 26 Feb '10

26 Feb '10

To quote my comment on http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=31000 : vim now has an official hg repository, which obsoletes the unofficial git one. This means the git repo will be stopped at some point. And that I will delete this package in one week or so. I hope the 2 users can move to vim-hg :) http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=33422 Too bad, it was a cool AUR ID !

For those who want to check their xz packages before the next namcap released I have added the relevant patches to namcap 2.4: https://users.archlinux.de/~pierre/packages/namcap-2.4-1.1-i686.pkg.tar.xz https://users.archlinux.de/~pierre/packages/namcap-2.4-1.1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz And the PKGBUILD including the patches can be found at https://users.archlinux.de/~pierre/packages/namcap-2.4-1.1.src.tar.gz Greetings, Pierre -- Pierre Schmitz, https://users.archlinux.de/~pierre

[aur-general] Please orphan dnsmap
by Sébastien Duquette 26 Feb '10

26 Feb '10

Hi, Please orphan dnsmap, it has not been updated for I while and I plan to maintain it. I contacted the current owner (anoxia) and he says he doesn't have access to his account anymore. Thank you, Sébastien Response from anoxia : Hey, please feel free to update the PKGBUILD and make yourself the maintainer, I no longer have access to my AUR account and also have not been using Arch for the last 4 months, so it would be fine for you to adopt this package =) Thanks & Regards, Jinx

[aur-general] Removal Request (bin32-crossover-games)
by Sheepeh 25 Feb '10

25 Feb '10

I think this is the correct way to request a removal, but please tell me if it isn't! =) If you could please remove my package at http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=34985 (bin32-crossover-games) as it's now redundant; a fellow user informed me how to make a package install different deps depending on arch. The "crossover-games" package now handles both i686 and x86_64 equally well, so I'll just keep that one maintained. Apologies for making it redundant quite so quickly! -- Using Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/mail/

24 Feb '10

Hey, please remove "syntensity-bzr" (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=33464) as it is completely outdated (repo changed, dvcs changed, build system changed) and is succeeded by "intensityengine-git" (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=33464) The name of "intensityengine" is also more fitting since "syntensity" is the project rather than the technical basis. -- Sven-Hendrik

[aur-general] Orphan request
by F B 24 Feb '10

24 Feb '10

Hi, I saw that the et-sdl-sound maintainer (http://aur.archlinux.org/account.php?Action=AccountInfo&ID=9985) doesn't update that package (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=9777) and doesn't respond to aur comments, other packages like enemy-territory need to be corrected (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=2063) I sent him an email the 3rd of this month without receiving a reponse. So I'm thinking he is inactive, many of his packages are outdated so, maybe, a good idea is to orphan all his packages, right? Thank you in advance.
