I do use some of the older madwifi stuff. Um, can you be specific as to the EXACT *and* correct (full) names of the files you are talking about ?

[aur-general] Drop madwifi-injection
by Daenyth Blank 23 Oct '08

23 Oct '08

I wanted to get people's opinions before I acted on this. The madwifi-injection package is outdated, and from several reports, the core madwifi drivers now provide this. Is there any reason to keep the package on AUR, or should I just delete it?

[aur-general] TU request
by Edward Tjörnhammar 22 Oct '08

22 Oct '08

Hello archers! I'm likely a new face to all of you but non the less applying for the role of TU. My name is Edward Tjörnhammar, is 26 and use Archlinux extensively both private and professionally. Two of the things which appeals me the most are that it never gets in your face and that the package system is pretty much crystal. I have been using GNU/Linux in some form, and no specific order, as Gentoo/Arch/Slax/Debian/Slackware since 2001. I studied CS at RIT (kth.se) in Stockholm where my specialization was(and is) in parallel and distributed systems. I work as a research engineer at the swedish defence research agency (foi.se) at information systems at the department of informatics. Before that I worked as a developer at a tactical dogfight simulator, which ran on IRIX machines. Programming and its facets is my main hobby and I, as such, have a working knowledge of many different languages/systems. I recently contributed a package 'inn' which I intend to continue working on. The package was added to [community] so I will continue with as inn-orig in AUR, user xhemi. If I were to become TU I believe that I can help to improve any number of packages in need of love but would continue with 'inn'. My sponsor is Sergej Pupykin. -- Edward Tjörnhammar

[aur-general] Duplicate Package Names
by Jud 21 Oct '08

21 Oct '08

Too many recent packages have been named the same as the "official package", this could easily get out of hand, what can be done about it? Discussion Points: - better education and parenting? - better message on AUR page? - code to detect package name and disallow/delete package? - hit uploader with big stick? - faster updates of "offical" Repo packages?

[aur-general] squirrelmail duplicate
by Xavier 15 Oct '08

squirrelmail exists in both extra (1.5.2cvs-7) and community (1.4.16-2). Is this normal? If both versions are needed, maybe the first package should be renamed to squirrelmail-cvs or similar.

[aur-general] old tarball recovery?
by Mads Michelsen 15 Oct '08

15 Oct '08

Feeling incredibly daft about this... I adjusted the PKGBUILD for a module i maintain and uploaded it straight away after buildng succesfully. It thus overwrote the old tarball which contained the PKGBUILD plus a patch and an install script. In a stroke of brilliance I then proceeded to delete my local build files and try the new PKGBUILD via yaourt.... Needless to say it doesn't work. This is about as stupid as it gets. I'm having photorec trying to recover the local files but I'm not particularly hopeful. Any chance of recovery on the server? The package is fsaa1655g. - Chochem

Re: [aur-general] "Can't create directory" bug and inaccessible files
by rabyte 15 Oct '08

15 Oct '08

It's several: eduke32-clean, adonthell-wastesedge, alephone, chocolate-doom-svn, probably others... I just updated the darkplaces package, and guess what? It worked! Probably because I created the tgz file using my own "maketar" script (uses standard tar instead of bsdtar btw). So I guess the error really is related to a bug in makepkg. -- Follow The White Rabyte . . .

Your PKGBUILD shows me that you did read the packaging guidelines and recent advices. There have always be discussions about adding a package hat already has a counterpart in some official repo. Normally such packages should not go to AUR and will be deleted. On the other hand we have mplayer-nogui or such things. Maybe this package is another example from that rule. IMHO in packages with many different configure options to choose some of them and to leave ot others can be a contribution of its own. So I would say, go for it. But there my be other opinions.
