[aur-general] spam on the mailing lists
by Abhishek Dasgupta 03 Aug '09

03 Aug '09

While the AL lists are well-maintained and mostly spam free, sometimes a few get through, as on the arch-dev-public list today. I don't know if list admins can specifically mark a message as a spam from the server side but there should be a way to do so. I could mark as spam from Gmail but then there's a chance other posts in arch-dev-public would also be classified as spam (that happened before with me with aur-general). This spam could be because of some server problem, a few months ago this kind of spam used to come (from arch-dev-public(a)archlinux.org) and Aaron had fixed it. -- Abhishek

[aur-general] PKGBUILD for java-gnome
by Michael Kanis 02 Aug '09

02 Aug '09

Hi, in [community] there is the package java-gnome. http://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/i686/java-gnome/ However there is no PKGBUILD to download for it. How can I access it? Also it says that it's unmaintained. Could it be put back in AUR so I can update and maintain the package? Regards Michael

[aur-general] Killing CVS on sigurd
by Aaron Griffin 31 Jul '09

31 Jul '09

Hey guys, The most recent CVS is synced to gerolde and is part of the web-based viewer, so I'm checking to see if it's ok to remove the CVS repo from sigurd and leave it on the main archlinux.org server for posterity. I believe we have an anonymous cvs pserver running on gerolde still (Roman, can you confirm) so that it can still be accessed. Side note: I'm syncing community svn now, and will enable it in the web viewer

Oops. That was supposed to go here... -------- Original Message -------- Hi, The following packages have files in the wrong place in svn. Something like <pkg>/repo/<pkg> instead of <pkg>/repo/<pkg>-<arch>. cabal-install codeblocks haskell-x11 haskell-zlib moovida Also python-matplotlib has a package in "comunity-i686". I will fix these up but please remove any stray files as they cause issues for the ABS scripts. Thanks, Allan

[aur-general] Requesting orphanage (sdlmess, wahcade)

Currently, sdlmess package in AUR is terribly outdated and I want to take it. I've sent robb_force, the maintainer, request more than day ago, but got no reply. It seems he is inactive for almost a year, so I'm requesting orphanage here. Among sdlmess I'd also like to take wahcade. Thanks in advance.

[aur-general] Requesting orphanage of clusterssh
by Dominik Schips 29 Jul '09

29 Jul '09

I am interested in taking up maintaining clusterssh. http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=3228 The current maintainer Macfly didn't put a email address in the PKGBUILD or in his AUR account. So I couldn't contact him to update the package. :( He also didn't respond on comments in aur so I assume he is no longer interested in maintaining the package. Please can a TU orphan the package that I can adopt it. I have a working PKGBUILD for the new clusterssh 3.26 ready to be uploaded. -- Best regards Dominik Schips

[aur-general] Requesting orphanage of drbd
by edac val 29 Jul '09

29 Jul '09

I am interested in taking up maintaining drbd (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=10081) in the AUR, and the current maintainer has been inactive for almost a year. I tried contacting him via email but he has not responded, so I can only assume that he is no longer interested in maintaining either. If a TU could set me as the maintainer or orphan package that would be great, as I have PKGBUILDS that are completely updated and function ready to be uploaded.

[aur-general] can't build ntfs-config
by mathieu p 25 Jul '09

25 Jul '09

Hi, I wonder why, but a friend of mine can't build ntfs-config. I don't hnow why, since he has all the libraries required. He gets this error message : checking for pygtk >= 2.6.0 installed... not found configure: error: required pygtk version not found make: *** Pas de cibles spécifiées et aucun makefile n'a été trouvé. Arrêt. ==> ERREUR: La compilation a échoué. Abandon... (it's french, yes) There is some trouble here, because the latest version of pygtk is 2.14.1, but it works just fine on my Arch. Maybe the fact that he is on i686 and that I am on x86_64 may play a role, I don't know, or maybe there is a missing library that is not specified (which I have and he has not)… Since it is in python, I made a package for «any» arch, but if anyone can find where the problem is, that would be nice ! (the problem is known for a long time now, but still not solved) Thanks.

Please delete the package pyjama-latest ( http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=27059) I created it because the package pyjama was not as up-to-date as I wanted it, but it was not very clever, since the version I put in was unstable… So I created pyjama-bzr, and pyjama remains stable, so you can delete this one.
