[aur-general] Remove package: pyotr
by A. Klitzing 01 Feb '09

01 Feb '09

Hi there, please remove 'pyotr' from AUR. I renamed it to 'python-otr' because upstream renamed it, too. :-) http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=16922 Thanks, A. Klitzing

[aur-general] packages deletion request
by Jan Spakula 31 Jan '09

31 Jan '09

Hello, I'd like to request deleting two of my packages: - perl-file-copy-recursive (not needed anymore, used to be a dependency of rdup) - rdup-utils-svn (obsolete by new versions of rdup, which contain the utils again, moreover it's not working properly anymore) Thanks, bender02

[aur-general] Broken [community] browser in AUR?
by Dan Vratil 31 Jan '09

31 Jan '09

Hi, I just wanted to build some lib32 packages from [community], but I can't see them in AUR. But many other packages from [community] I can see. Is that somehow related to the that thing about moving of [community] or is something wrong with me / AUR ?

[aur-general] Updating PKGBUILD tarballs
by Beej Jorgensen 28 Jan '09

28 Jan '09

Hey, guys... I'm a newbie with a question. Presuming I've already uploaded example-4.5-1.src.tar.gz to AUR, when I later make maintenance changes, do I just upload my example-4.6-1.src.tar.gz the same way? That is, will AUR just smartly figure out that it's an update of an existing package? (I'm guessing it'll key off packagename/myname...?) Thanks! -Beej

[aur-general] Request for orphaning some more packages
by Christoph Zeiler 27 Jan '09

27 Jan '09

I'd like to request the orphaning of all packages formerly maintained by user shinlun. I contacted him some days ago about the outdated packages owned by him, w/o response. When looking at the dates of his last package updates, it appears he quit using Arch in June 2007. -- Follow The White Rabyte . . .
