[aur-general] Orphaned: debhelper
by A. Klitzing 09 Apr '08

09 Apr '08

Hello, could someone remove debhelper from AUR? I can't adopt it because I can't see it anymore. If I want to upload it by myself I will get an error message. Thanks, André Klitzing

[aur-general] GAIM-related packages in AUR
by Ivy Foster 09 Apr '08

09 Apr '08

So thanks to a typo while looking for a package using yaourt, yesterday I discovered that although GAIM itself is no longer available from Arch proper or from AUR, there are still several packages in the AUR related to GAIM, many of which are orphaned and few if any of which have been updated in over a year. I'd like to suggest that unless any folks still maintaining these packages object, that they be removed, what with GAIM being superseded by pidgin/finch/libpurple. Hopefully this won't cause too much controversy :-). Thanks!

[aur-general] eet alpha version
by Igor "FeR" Scabini 08 Apr '08

08 Apr '08

There is a alpha version of eet as you can read here: http://xenos.altervista.org/blogs/index.php?blog=3&title=enlightenment_dr17… I wrote a PKGBUILD for this version and named it simply eet, the PKGBUILD could be found here: http://xenos.altervista.org/blogs/index.php?blog=3&title=eet_pkgbuild_della… but AUR didn't permit me to upload that package due to: You are not allowed to overwrite the eet package. I also opened a thread in Archlinux forum you can find here: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=350841#p350841 what I have to do now? Is it possible to upload that package? -- Igor "FeR" Scabini ================================================= url: http://xenos.altervista.org ..primavera non bussa, lei entra sicura.. - F.

[aur-general] Should I bring rpm/dkpg to community
by Allan McRae 07 Apr '08

07 Apr '08

Hi TU's, I was wondering what peoples opinions are about putting rpm/dpkg in [community]. They both have a descent number of votes (27 & 33) so people obviously find them useful. Does anyone have objections about their "unArchness" (it is a real word, honest!)? It is what has stopped me moving dpkg so far... Allan

[aur-general] stepping down
by Vinay S Shastry 06 Apr '08

06 Apr '08

Hello dear TUs, Life's calling, I've gotta go! :) Busy days are here, lots of work, lots to study. Bylaws suggest that TU should step down if planning on going inactive for more than 2 months (which I am). It's been a pleasure being involved with the tu community for almost 2 years. Thanks! After qt4 got into extra, there has not been much to maintain. Also, I recently updated my few packages (i686 only) without licenses to include it. So, not much trouble from my side I hope! Here's a list of packages I maintain for your ready reference. Please snatch as much as possible ;) community daemons openssh-chroot 4.7p1-2 community devel astyle 1.21-2 community devel tcc 0.9.23-4 community emulators i8086emu 0.9.2-4 community kde kde-adblock-improvement 0.0.5-3 community kde kompose 0.5.4-2 community kde rsibreak 0.8.0-2 community lib beecrypt 4.1.2-3 community lib python-magic 4.21-1 community multimedia mp3info 0.8.5a-1 community multimedia qmpdclient 1.0.8-2 community multimedia swftools 0.8.1-1 community multimedia xmms-itouch 0.1.2-1 community network bmon 2.1.0-2 community network knetstats 1.6.1-1 community network reddo 0.1.5-1 community office freemind 0.8.1-1 community office kchmviewer 3.1-3 community office kdissert 1.0.7-1 community science wxmaxima 0.7.4-1 community system coreutils-info 6.10-1 community system ncrypt 0.6.11-1 unsupported devel eclipse-kde 0-1 unsupported network kasablanca 0.4.0.2-1 unsupported network ymessenger 1.0.6.1-2 unsupported system rar 3.7.1-3 unsupported system rpm 4.4.2.2-1 unsupported x11 kdestyle-thinkeramik 3.2.1-1 Regards, -- Vinay S Shastry http://thenub.one09.net

[aur-general] New packages, quick question Re: proposals
by Ivy Foster 06 Apr '08

06 Apr '08

Hi, folks... I started using Arch about a month ago, and recently decided it might be good to (a) pick up orphaned packages I find useful (1 so far) and (b) upload new packages that might be useful. Therefore, I've adopted the ps annotator flpsed and submitted a few packages for clisp that are either built in to sbcl (asdf, asdf-install) or were packaged specifically for sbcl on AUR (cl-ppcre, stumpwm). That brings me to my question. If I wanted to, say, submit a clisp module/library packaging standards proposal, would I just write it up and send it here? Basically, I'd like to see a few things happen, particularly in regards to packaging programs for specific lisp implementations when they don't need to be (I'd be fine seeing the packages I uploaded merged with someone else's PKGBUILD, for example) and in regards to where things get put, just so things don't end up being all haphazard. Thanks a lot! Ivy
