[aur-general] About emacs org-mode
by Jiyunatori 02 Jul '08

02 Jul '08

Hi there. I've just stepped into the arch and I'd like to participate. The org package is highly out of date, so I updated it. I'd like to share this small contribution with everyone, but the package is already maintained by rwanderley. I contacted the maintainer and sent him my updated version ten days ago, but had no answer to this day. Would it be possible to take the charge of maintaining this package ? take care Jiyunatori PS : what is the policy about renaming a package in the AUR ? is there a naming policy for emacs modes ?

by Marcel W. Wysocki 30 Jun '08

The packages are flagged out of date for quite some time now. Also there have been comments to inform the maintainer about the new version. I'd like to take over those packages. -- Marcel W. Wysocki <maci(a)satgnu.net>

[aur-general] TUs: anyone want to take dmd into community?
by Anders Bergh 28 Jun '08

28 Jun '08

Hey, I spoke to Walter and he told me that it would be okay to let Arch Linux distribute dmd in the repositories. I'm not a TU, but feel free to take over the dmd and libphobos packages (and perhaps even libtango). (for those who don't know what dmd is: it's the main compiler for the D programming language) Anders

[aur-general] orphans again
by Ronald van Haren 27 Jun '08

27 Jun '08

just so we won't let this list grow like we did in the past, here are the current orphans in community: <category><name><pkgver><votes> multimedia denemo 0.7.6-1 7 x11 lxtask 0.1-1 15 network pound 2.4.2-1 1 lib python-geotypes 0.7.0-1 0 please adopt if if one of these packages is yours, or you want to maintain one of these. I'll move the ones left orphan to unsupported somewhere next week. note that python-geotypes is a dependency of mezogis (0 votes, maintained by dtw) so it should stay in community if mezogis stays.

[aur-general] python rebuilds needed
by Allan McRae 26 Jun '08

26 Jun '08

Hi TUs, I have uploaded an updated python package to testing. This removes the searching of the /usr/lib/python2.4 directory for modules (as python2.5 modules should be installed in the 2.5 directory). This will break a few packages whose files are still on the old python2.4 directory and anything that depends on them. Here is the packages I have found that need rebuilt: bhv-0.0.10-1 (sergej) diacanvas-0.14.4-1 (BaSh) everygui-0.99.b-1 (Romashka) pychecker-0.8.17-2 (sergej) pyrtf-0.45-1 (sergej) pysdl_mixer-0.0.3-2 (sergej) python-chardet-1.0-1 (sergej) python-galago-0.5.0-1 (sergej) python-galago-gtk-0.5.0-1 (sergej) python-mpdclient2-0.11.1-2 (codemac) webboard-0.2-3 (sergej) These just need rebuilt with python (v2.5) so their files are installed in /usr/lib/python2.5. In general, it should not be necessary to use the python version in [testing] as the current version in [extra] will package most files in the right place. I think packages built using scons may require the [testing] version. Just check that there are no files in /usr/lib/python2.4 once you have finished rebuilding the packages. Cheers, Allan

Hello, i have a problem uploading a package to AUR. It's revoked, but there isn't a package named nxcomp, neither in AUR nor in official Repos. Error is(translated): You are not allowd to overwrite the existing package nxcomp I've send a mail on arch-genereal ML and Callan point me to a releavant bugreport http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/8672 The problem is: This package is a dependency of some other packages which i already put in AUR. So could one of you TUs please put the package in AUR? Maybe orphand after that, so i could take it. I attach the tarball, it should be in category libs. Thanks Gerhard -- Try rm -rf (_R_ead _M_ail _R_ealy _F_ast)
