[aur-general] Orphaning of 44 packages
by G_Syme 24 May '09

24 May '09

Hi fellow listmates, in trying to make a long story short: I've finally switched from KDE3 to KDE4, and not directly via Arch, but on a parallelly installed Kubuntu with shared home partition. The result is, that the Kubuntu installation (which was previously only intended to be a test- platform and failsafe solution) now runs fine, but has devastated the KDE3 configs of the Arch system. But, contrary to my expectation, upgrading Arch to KDE4 didn't utilize the configs from Kubuntu (from the shared home). This means I currently have a not- really-working KDE4 installation on Arch with some additional anomalies (like e.g. graphic glitches, etc.). Unfortunately, university doesn't leave me much spare time to try to repair my current Arch system at the moment. So I'm sticking to my "backup" Kubuntu system for the time being. Because I won't be able to properly maintain my packages at the moment, I'd like to take this opportunity to cut my packages from 64 down to a manageable state of 20. Hope this will give new AUR users the opportunity to collect a few of them, so the distribution gets a bit more balanced. ^^ Now for the list. All of the packages work (except for ditz-git, because upstream development has stalled a bit). Albeit from jvlt, they're all up-to- date (as far as I know). I've tried to categorize them a bit: -- uml2tools and dependencies -- (best to be maintained by one person) eclipse-emf-query eclipse-emf-transaction eclipse-emf-validation eclipse-gmf eclipse-mdt-ocl eclipse-mdt-uml2 eclipse-mdt-uml2tools -- subversive and its dependencies -- (best to be maintained by one person) eclipse-subversive eclipse-subversive-svn-connector eclipse-subversive-svn-connector-svnkit -- (maybe) frozen in time (AKA last update was quite some time ago) -- edumips64 faces finomaton geg gt5 hexxagon jacksum jmencode lookat nihongobenkyo pytraffic reed roll umodpack unmass urxvtcd violet -- candidates for removal (AKA let the community decide) -- brother-mfc260c-cupswrapper brother-mfc260c-lpr (the 2 packages above have never been tested because I don't own the printer (they're build analog to the brother-mfc260c-* packages) and haven't received any votes or comments, so probably no one is using them.) doomsday-1.8 (was intended to be an alternative for the sometimes savegame-corrupting version 1.9beta5. But the problem seems to be solved in 1.9beta6, which makes this package deprecated.) tinyuml (development has been stalled, and the official website has vanished ages ago. The sources can still be obtained from SF.net, though, and the package has received 19 votes over time, but I'm not sure if they still use it...) -- misc -- 4pane aespipe ditz-git dosbox-cvs jvlt mathomatic maxr-svn midish notecase-pro pauker thinkingrock veusz wirbel That's it. I hope to be back on track in late summer with my Arch system. I'll try to maintain my remaining packages as best as I can until then. Cheers, G_Syme

[aur-general] [PATCH] Add URL to get maintainer of a package
by Abhishek Dasgupta 24 May '09

24 May '09

This is a simple patch to make URLs like http://archlinux.org/core/i686/bash/maintainer return the current maintainer for the package in plaintext. I don't know if the code works or not since I've almost no experience in Django. I'm not sure whether simply returning pkg.maintainer shall suffice. -- Abhishek

[aur-general] Inactivity - 21st-25th May
by bardo 22 May '09

22 May '09

Hi guys, This afternoon I'm leaving for a short holiday in Bratislava and Vienna, I'll be back on Monday. I probably won't have Internet access during this period, so feel free to update my packages. Not that I've been very active lately, but well, I'm reading my mails =) I also catch the occasion to ask if some x86_64 TU can rebuild rss-glx, since the latest version keeps segfaulting on me but it seems to be ok on other machines. The i686 package is already in place. If someone does, please close FS#14285. Thanks, Corrado

[aur-general] Pacakge removal request
by Smartboy 19 May '09

19 May '09

I would like to request that the package "aptana-1.2.7" be removed from AUR for improper naming and being broken anyway. I am also asking that aptana be orphaned since it has been so long since the package was updated, and so that I can update it (I have a pkgbuild ready, but I also require a different script). :) Smartboy

[aur-general] adoption request for flex-sdk
by Alper KANAT 17 May '09

17 May '09

Hey There, I'm a developer myself and developing an application using Adobe's Flex. I've found out that AUR has an outdated version of flex-sdk which has also been flagged as out of date. I've tried contacting its developer today but I don't expect a reply since users commented on the package's page had no response back. Any way; I think I can handle the packaging work of flex-sdk. I'm (right now) working on its PKGBUILD to make it work on my computer. If my adoption request is accepted, I would love to share it. If not, I guess I'm going to add it to Turkish Community repositories which one can find at http://www.archlinux.org.tr/repo/. As a reference, you can see my other packages. My username is alperkanat on AUR. Cheers! -- Alper KANAT <alperkanat(a)raptiye.org>

Hi everyone, I think it is time for me to resign *as a TU*. Unfortunately, i do not have much time now and there are some things that i have to leave. For now, at least. Real life sucks! I want to use my free time with packages from [extra] and the development of some tools for the core part of our distro. Feel free to adopt any of my packages from community/AUR. I do not intend to leave them as orphans. Thank you for everything. -- Hugo

[aur-general] An idea for vim scripts/plugins
by Magnus Therning 13 May '09

13 May '09

Being a Vim user and having just moved to Arch I noticed that most (all?) packages for Vim plugins install system wide. This may not be desirable since it means all users get all the plugins, and not using pacman for plugins puts the burden of keeping up-to-date on the individual users. So, inspired by Debian's vim-additions-manager, I came up with a (fairly) light-weight solution: vim-scripts-mgr[1]. It looks for available Vim plugins in `/usr/share/vim-scripts` (one directory per plugin) and can install and uninstall individual plugins by adding symbolic links in ~/.vim for a user. I've already uploaded two Vim plugins that make use of it, Align[2] and haskellmode[3]. I'd be thrilled if others who package Vim plugins would consider using it. /M [1]: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=26318 [2]: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=26319 [3]: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=26343 -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) magnus＠therning．org Jabber: magnus＠therning．org http://therning.org/magnus identi.ca|twitter: magthe

[aur-general] some candidates for moving to unsupported
by Abhishek Dasgupta 13 May '09

13 May '09

Hi, I was going through the community bugtracker and I found a few bugs which can be solved by moving the relevant packages to [unsupported]. games/campgen (maintained by dtw) Old and the homepage says that there is no version which works with wesnoth 1.6 in Arch repositories. This would remove this package from the python 2.6 rebuild list (#13831) x11/xgl (#13581) (orphan) Comment on #13581 (tomd123): The link says "It was finally removed [1] from the X server in favor of AIGLX on June 12, 2008.". XGL is deprecated. I think it needs to be removed.

[aur-general] Mutt vs Gmail (Was: An idea for vim scripts/plugins)
by Andrei Thorp 12 May '09

12 May '09

Well, I have all my mailing lists neatly arraged here and so on. They get filed to labels and archived automatically so that I can read them in a unified place. I'd have to change this up so that they go to the inbox, and that screws up my mail filtering in gmail then (afaik). It kind of forces me to compromise one way or another (either have the nice tidy thing in gmail, or the nice tidy thing on my one box, but not both). Since gmail offers it anywhere, I prefer to do it this way. Also, despite the mutt way being pretty nice and unixy (letting me script it easily into my window manager and so on), gmail just has an excellent interface with the folding, images, and so on. I hate to not use the classic mail setup everywhere, but it's just not as tidy anymore :/ What do people think on this topic? I personally find gmail to be extremely convenient, but I'm willing to be enlightened otherwise. -AT On Mon, May 11, 2009 at 10:15 AM, Ricardo Martins <ricardo(a)scarybox.net> wrote: > On Mon, 11 May 2009 10:05, Andrei Thorp wrote: >> Ah, I see.

[aur-general] Fwd: [arch-dev-public] Audio packages
by Eric Bélanger 12 May '09

12 May '09

Is there any TU interested in these audio packages? ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Allan McRae Date: Fri, May 1, 2009 at 6:31 AM Subject: [arch-dev-public] Audio packages To: Public mailing list for ArchLinux development <arch-dev-public(a)archlinux.org> Hi all, Do we have a dev here that wants to spend some time with the audio packages? They have not received much love lately... The jackbeat update requires moving portaudio from [community]. We also have ardour that is quite out-of-date but requires adding several deps to the repos. I updated jack-audio-connection-kit, but it also needs a rework of is rc.d script to actually make it useful and I have not had time to address yet (if anybody wants to do this contact me for the details). So, what do we do? Is there a dev who has time and interest to take these over? Otherwise do we bring someone onboard to maintain these packages or encourage someone in the arch-audio group to become a TU and move them to community? Allan
