[aur-general] Package: Dynamips
by maci＠satgnu.net 25 Feb '08

25 Feb '08

Hello there, I'd like you to make me the maintainer of the package "dynamips" I flagged it out of date 20071107 and left a comment. Seems the maintainer died and forgot to orphan the package before ;) -- Marcel W. Wysocki <maci(a)satgnu.net>

Re: [aur-general] [arch-dev-public] [signoff] udev 118-2
by wide-eye 23 Feb '08

one place that is mounted and writable at the time udev is started is / dev. rc.sysinit: (generate blacklist) printf "BLACKLIST=\"$BLACKLIST\"\n MOD_AUTOLOAD=\"$MOD_AUTOLOAD\"\n" > /dev/.blacklist (start udevd) load-modules.sh: . /dev/.blacklist I haven't had the chance to play with the testing packages, but this setup seemed to work ok when i was playing with it. random idea: >From what I've read, it seems one can mount a ramfs under /etc/udev/ rules.d/, add a bunch of udev rules there, and dispense with load- modules.sh altogether. if this works udev should be able to start lickety-split. But I'm not sure what all to use for rules. or if it works at all

[aur-general] TU Voting On The AUR
by Callan Barrett 22 Feb '08

22 Feb '08

See here if you're logged in as a TU: http://aur.archlinux.org/tu.php Alright, I know I'm not a TU anymore but this is pretty important, this is the new interface for voting for stuff as TUs which automates the process somewhat and pretties it up a bit. You might have seen the thread about two months ago about this and some screenshots which are basically the same as it is now, I put this together because of how disorganized the voting process currently is and how hard it is to check up on who voted or not. With this system it would become harder to miss votes (there's nothing like email notification but that's no trouble to add) and incredibly simple to find who has voted recently and who hasn't, your vote isn't actually recorded, only the fact that you did vote which also makes it basically anonymous as opposed to the public voting on the ML. So the whole thing is there ready for use and now it's just a matter of if you want to use it or not. Maybe you want to vote on it or just switch or whatever you like. If you do decide to keep it and use it I can add whatever is required to make the application more user friendly like email notification and some sort of stats page (right now there's no front-end to tell who voted or not which needs to be added soon) and so on. Although it's pretty trivial to remove the new voting system I think this interface is only improving on what was a fairly messy and flawed voting system previously. Again, this is pretty important and I'd like input from as many people as possible. -- Callan 'wizzomafizzo' Barrett

I've updated the PKGBUILD for Zaptel to the newest version (1.4.9) and also made it patch Zaptel to support Yeastar adapters in addition to it's standard range of support. I am not the package maintainer, just trying to help out. The PKGBUILD is below: # $Id: PKGBUILD,v 1.10 2007/11/16 12:58:23 DaNiMoTh Exp $ # Maintainer: William Rea <sillywilly(a)gmail.com> # Contributor: jeebusroxors pkgname=zaptel pkgver=1.4.9 pkgrel=1 pkgdesc="Zapatel Drivers for Asterisk" arch=('i686' 'x86_64') url="http://www.asterisk.org" license=('GPL') depends=('glibc') backup=(etc/zaptel.conf) source=(http://downloads.digium.com/pub/zaptel/zaptel-$pkgver.tar.gz \ http://www.yeastar.com/download/ystdm8xx-zaptel-$pkgver.patch.tar.gz \ zaptel.rules zaptel.permissions ztcfg) install=$pkgname.install md5sums=('f08b8291eb0bccbec8e546c9fb43fd2e' '86c5ed9a652969566680cfa1e7c7c3ec' '3c53f516a7f9f50d53b2a073b15a257a' '7cd7c01cb9d0cfac44ce1a2949448310' '4bfb330e8e0a165e9212c4ad3f6d4eab') build() { install -d $startdir/pkg/etc/udev $startdir/pkg/usr/share/man/man8 patch -p0 < ystdm8xx-zaptel-$pkgver.patch cd $startdir/src/zaptel-$pkgver ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --exec-prefix=/usr make VERBOSE=1 || return 1 make DESTDIR=$startdir/pkg install || return 1 make DESTDIR=$startdir/pkg config mkdir -p $startdir/pkg/usr/bin cp {fxotune,ztmonitor,zttest} $startdir/pkg/usr/bin rm -r $startdir/pkg/etc/udev install -D -m644 $startdir/src/zaptel.rules \ $startdir/pkg/etc/udev/rules.d/zaptel.rules install -D -m644 $startdir/src/zaptel.permissions \ $startdir/pkg/etc/udev/permissions.d/zaptel.permissions install -D -m755 ztcfg $startdir/pkg/sbin/ztcfg install -D -m755 $startdir/src/ztcfg \ $startdir/pkg/etc/rc.d/ztcfg }

[aur-general] [REMOVAL: DISCUSSION PERIOD] filoktetes
by Ronald van Haren 21 Feb '08

21 Feb '08

Hi all, As stated by the bylaws, a removal thread due to unwarranted and undeclared inactivity is automatically triggered after missing at least three consecutive voting procedures. Filoketes has missed the last 4 voting procedures, does not respond, and never declared himself inactive. The relevant part of the bylaws: active TUs that keep quorum from being established on a voting procedure for three consecutive voting procedures (they need not be on the same motion) are automatically brought up for removal procedure, by reason of unwarranted inactivity. There is one special case for removal, removal due to unwarranted and undeclared inactivity, for which standard voting procedure deviates from the above. This motion is also automatically triggered by repeated quorum offenses, as described in the Quorum subsection of this document. For this special case, SVP is followed with a discussion period of three days, a quorum of 66%, and a voting period of 5 days. SVP( inactivity_removal_of_TU, 3, 0.66, 5 ); I already opened a couple of threads before, the last one of them gives a good overview of the situation: We already had an unofficial 'discussion' in this thread: http://archlinux.org/pipermail/aur-general/2008-February/006988.html I'm feeling sorry for having to do this, but this mail starts the 3 days discussion period.

Hi, My previous post had an error. The forward link is labelled "More". Perhaps it should be labelled "Next". Regards, Neil Darlow

[aur-general] AUR 1.5.0 navigation links
by Neil Darlow 20 Feb '08

20 Feb '08

Hi, When a search of AUR packages returns more than one page of results, navigation links are presented at the bottom of the screen. These links are labelled "Next" for following page and "Less" for the previous page. I think that "Less" is a poor choice and perhaps should be "Previous" or "Back". Just my two cents. Regards, Neil Darlow
