[aur-general] Incorrect name when downloading from source=()
by Côme Pruvost 16 Jun '09

16 Jun '09

Hello, To package cellwriter, I need to download this patch[1]. But once downloaded, the name of the file is "attachment?aid=-5287197620305474653&name=cellwriter-1.3.4-cellwidget-dont-disable-xinput.diff" instead of just "cellwriter-1.3.4-cellwidget-dont-disable-xinput.diff". - Is it a big problem ? I mean if another user do not use wget will my PKGBUILD work for him ? - Is there a way to force a correct behavior ? [1] http://cellwriter.googlecode.com/issues/attachment?aid=-5287197620305474653…

[aur-general] Leaving Arch
by Christoph Zeiler 13 Jun '09

13 Jun '09

This is to a) inform the TUs that I've switched distros and won't be able to maintain my packages in the AUR anymore. Feel free to orphan all 358 of them. b) say "Thank you!" to everybody who notified me of outdated packages, sent suggestions and/or patches or helped otherwise. c) give reasons for leaving: My mind is on things other than bleeding-edge and system-tinkering. Over time I also became dissatisfied with the official way of handling source packages. IMO Arch could be great at both source and binary, but the source part doesn't get enough love. Why not add source support for pacman? Oh, and why not compress packages with LZMA? d) wish every Arch user all the best and lots of fun with his/her/its distro of choice! Greetings, Christoph Zeiler aka rabyte aka Moonborn

http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=17122 It seems the current maintainer doesn't care. Numerous calls for adding x86_64 went unheard, dependencies are not correct, not adhering to packaging standards.

hi, Could someone rename gstreamer0.10-pitfdll-cvs in gstreamer0.10-pitfdll because this package is no longer in extra so there is no problems if it's renamed. However gstreamer0.10-pitfdll-cvs is not a cvs package so the name is not correct. Thank you in advance.

TUs, when I was reading the Architecture Differences page, I saw there was not some packages for i686/x86_64.
