by tsa＠gmx.eu 25 Mar '09

Hi! The package omniorbpy (ID 7457) is quite old and there seems to be no maintenance since some time... Is it possible to "disown" the package? I would like to submit omniorbpy-3.3... Greetings, Tobias

[aur-general] Redirection of package
by Cilyan Olowen 24 Mar '09

24 Mar '09

I was wondering if it is possible to redirect one package to another, and if it was possible in unsupported. For example, python bindings for poppler are currently, but probably will stay like this, a bazaar repository. The fact is, as it is the official way of obtaining the software, the package should be python-poppler. But, as it is a bzr, it should be python-poppler-bzr too and so will beneficiate the makepkg functionality to update to the last repository version. Another package needs the bindings, but as it is the functionnality that are needed and not a particular way of obtention, I think it is better to request python-poppler. So, for the requirement to be installed automatically, it is better for the package to be named python-poppler. Finally, it could be great if the package python-poppler was redirected to python-poppler-bzr. And if a stable packaged version of the software arise, the two packages could be dissociated transparently. Is it possible ? Cilyan

[aur-general] [PATCH] initial support for any architecture.
by Abhishek Dasgupta 23 Mar '09

23 Mar '09

This patch adds initial support for any architecture. It assumes that there'll be a repo-any directory in repos/ from which it'll pull the PKGBUILDs. Also the architectureo independent packages are assumed to be in $reponame/os/any. This commit does not fix anything going wrong in the cron-jobs or misc-scripts folder. Also this commit contain any helper scripts for the any architecture corresponding to db-core or testing2x.

[aur-general] Orphaning request
by Christoph Zeiler 23 Mar '09

23 Mar '09

Could a TU please orphan the package "eduke32" by user "funkyou"? The software has had three new releases since the PKGBUILD was last updated, which was in 08/12/05. 11 days ago I posted a comment on the package's page to notify the maintainer that the PKGBUILD is in need of updating. I also stated the PKGBUILD needs a general overhaul as it's not meeting the packaging guidelines. I didn't receive a response, so I sent him an email four days ago, no response to it either.

[aur-general] Uploading 32bit packages from 64bit system
by Timm Preetz 22 Mar '09

22 Mar '09

Hi, today I finally setup my 32bit build machine, to be able to provide builds for i686 just in time with the ones for 64bit systems. First of all, I put the CVS repo on the new computer, then SSH into it and makepkg the packages. (From my normal work machine I use import the CVS repo from the 32bit machine as filesystem, so I don't have to keep two repos in sync). So now I have the 32bit build on my building machine, and can easily access that from my normal pc. I there a way to upload that very 32bit build to community? Or do I have to install "communitypkg" also on that remote machine? This would be easily done, but I would hate spreading my passwords to other machines. Regards, Timm

[aur-general] TU application: Chris Brannon
by Chris Brannon 22 Mar '09

22 Mar '09

Hello everyone! I wish to become an ArchLinux Trusted User. To that end, here is a bit of information pertaining to me. I started using Linux in the summer of 2000. Before that time, I used Unix shell accounts offered by various Internet service providers. I've been using some flavor of *nix since 1995. I'm blind, and I've always worked from a text console. Dialup Unix shell accounts had mostly vanished by 2000, so I installed Slackware. I used Slackware until early 2007, and I learned a great deal about Linux in the process. I could describe my reasons for dropping Slackware, but I won't. It's a fine distribution, and the answer to the "which distribution is best" question is mostly subjective. After looking at several distros, I settled on Arch in September of 2008. Moving to Arch was easy for me, because of my years of experience with Slackware. Currently, I maintain 8 packages in unsupported, and this number is growing. See the following URL for my work: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?SeB=m&K=cmb My username on the BBS, AUR, and wiki is cmb. I want to do my part to make ArchLinux more accessible to the blind. My first order of business is to submit two packages to the community repository: speakup and espeakup. These two packages provide one reliable method of supplying spoken output from the text console under Linux. I will endeavor to faithfully represent the interests of the whole ArchLinux user community, not just those of the tiny subset who are blind. Allan McRae is my sponsor. Thank you Allan. With kind regards, -- Chris

About me: My name is Jens and i'm from Germany, 36 years young (old? *g*), and i'm working as an electronic technician. During my freetime i'm actually learning for my big ham-radio licence python and a bit of bash programming. At the moment i maintain 19 packages (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?SeB=m&K=defcon) On the forum, wiki, aur and on irc i'm named as 'defcon' Feel free to ask me, if something is obscure or you want to know more about me. Of cource i'm looking for someone to sponsor me (Stefan Husman, do u like to this job? ;) ) Kind regards Jens 'defcon' Maucher

[aur-general] TU Application: Xyne
by xyne 20 Mar '09

20 Mar '09

Hi all, I'd like to apply to become a TU. Allan has agreed to be my sponsor. My reasons for wanting to become a TU are the following: I want to help out, improve Arch in general and give back to the distro (the typical clichéd response, but true nonetheless). I intend to eventually maintain some of my own packages in the community repo (not only them though). I hope to learn more about what goes on behind the scenes. I want to participate in decisions that affect Arch. Everyone keeps telling me to become a TU. I heard TUs get free tacos. As for packaging experience, I currently maintain 24 packages in the AUR (under the same name) and I host a public repo on my site (http://xyne.archlinux.ca/repositories) I've also played around with a few local repos (e.g. metapax pkgs, local AUR binary repos, customized ABS packages) and have written some tools that deal with pkg and repo creation and maintenance (makerepo, metapax, pacpan). I'll admit that many of the PKGBUILDs for my own tools are trivial but some of the ones I maintain in the AUR aren't. I've also managed to work my way through the (g)vi(m) PKGBUILDs and scripts to get them to build with the latest patch level at the time :P . Overall, I still consider myself somewhat new to Linux and I haven't yet had to patch anything myself or deal with really complicated build errors, but I'm sure that I'll learn how to handle such issues as I'm learning the rest of it. I tend to know my own limits and generally don't dive into things that I can't handle, so you don't have to worry about me borking anything. For those of you who don't know me, I'm quite active on the forum so you can probably get a general idea of who I am from my posts there. Thanks for considering this application. /Xyne

[aur-general] Request: Delete/rename mislabeled "rudl" package
by Henning Bekel 18 Mar '09

18 Mar '09

I maintain an package called "rudl" in unsupported. It provides ruby bindings to SDL, and it's a nice (more ruby-ish) alternative to ruby-sdl. I simply called it "rudl" back then, but now I think it should be renamed to "ruby-rudl", following the naming scheme other ruby packages use. If you agree, please remove it, and I'll upload a properly named package. Henning
