[aur-general] AUR Cleanup Day organization
by Allan McRae 05 May '08

05 May '08

Hi all, I think there is enough support for this to go forward. So it is time we nut out the details. Here is how I suggest we go about it. Firstly, I make a post to the announcements section of the forums along the lines of: <draft> The AUR has a large number of obsolete packages which could use cleaning up. Examples of packages that may be cleaned up are: - packages that have been renamed or replaced - old and unmaintained developmental (cvs/svn/etc) packages - outdated and orphaned packages with few or no votes This is where you can help. Post suggestions of packages in the AUR Cleanup wiki page (url here) or as a reply to this thread. TUs will get together and go though the list in a couple of weeks and confirm which packages should be removed. Please do not remove suggestions from the wiki page but add a comment on why it should be kept instead. </draft> I suggest we get together in the TU IRC channel on the weekend of 17/18 May and go through the list. I think we should take care not to get too carried away when we remove packages. While some packages may be orphans, if they are not out of date then the PKGBUILD could still be useful for some people. Any comments before I create the wiki page and post to the forums? Cheers, Allan PS. Someone will have to give me the TU IRC channel key because I never got around to getting it given I rarely use IRC.

[aur-general] Problem uploading packages on i686
by Allan McRae 04 May '08

04 May '08

Hi all, At the moment the is a problem uploading packages to i686 community. I know this because I have moved a couple of packages to community and the AUR does not reflect this after several hours. Now, I know in the next 12 hours, we will probably get one of those "missing package" emails and fixing that will fix the problem. Then again, it might be one of the duplicate/missing PKGBUILD problems. Surely given I know it is a problem already, then I can fix it! My question is, does the output from the community/AUR integration daemon get posted anywhere visible to us TUs? Cheers, Allan

[aur-general] Problem with tupkg
by DaNiMoTh 04 May '08

04 May '08

Uhm, I have this problem: tupkg doesn't upload. I have this output: [danimoth@jane scilab]$communitypkg {'size0': ['0'], 'numpkgs': ['1'], 'name0': ['scilab-4.1.2-4.pkg.tar.gz']} Uploading: scilab-4.1.2-4.pkg.tar.gz 14394 kb then nothing.. I think the problem is tupkg, but password and username are right. I answer to bash yesterday to upload it and he tells me that he has upload... why it isn't recognised?

[aur-general] orphans in community
by Firmicus 02 May '08

02 May '08

Reminder: these are our current orphans in community: awn-extras-applets helixplayer kchmviewer kde-adblock-improvement knetstats man-pages-pt_br openssh-chroot psqlodbc python-geotypes Should they be moved to unsupported? Also, I notice that we have 877 orphans in unsupported (many out-of-date)! Should we remove them eventually? Especially those with very few or no votes? Firmicus

[aur-general] Pommed initscript
by Jordi Cerdan 02 May '08

02 May '08

Hi, I'm the maintainer of pommed in AUR and I would like to adapt the init daemon script to the Archlinux standard, as user royrocks suggested me. I had a look to the wiki but didn't saw any page conscerning the rules and the way to build an init script adapting to Archlinux rules. Of course, I could build one having a look to other daemons and to the /etc/rc.d/functions script, but I would like to know if there's some kind of documentation I haven't found, so I don't forget anything in the script. Regards, jcerdan

[aur-general] orphan request : octave3
by Xavier 02 May '08

02 May '08

The last update of this package was on 30/03. That day, cyberdune also offered me to orphan the package, which I accepted, but he didn't do it. And no news since then. In the meantime, the package didn't build anymore because of gcc 4.3, which required a small patch. And then octave 3.0.1 was also released, which includes the fix.
