[aur-general] AUR Release 1.5.0
by Simo Leone 19 Feb '08

19 Feb '08

I will be updating the AUR on main site sometime this evening. There might be intermittent downtime and maintenance messages, but downtime will be minimal. This is a really big release, and I do mean big. This release brings a json interface, the brand new arch look, a tu voting back-end, tons of changes under the hood, and the removal of safe flags, among tons of other changes. See the shortlog for the nitty gritty.

Apparently I am NOT subscribed to one of the email lists that this was discussed on, so alas, I could NOT respond or have any knowledge of any such discussions. I also do NOT have any private emails from anyone on this subject either over the past two days. I was specifically NOT ignoring anyone, including Ronald, but rather I had no idea of what was being discussed. AND this package was removed *altogether* but NOT by me, and certainly before I could have responded. <- That is perfectly fine with me. Under the circumstances I fully agree. I would *also* be happy to replace it in unsupported, as apparently it has been determined to NOT have it in any repo. Finally, while I *did* read the license, it was not until I read some of the scuttlebutt on the internet that I appreciated all of the issues folks seem to have with Google's licensing. The license is, in simple language, exceptionally poorly written and subject to an incredible range of legal interpretation. <- This ALONE is a good enough reason for me to agree that it does not belong in ANY repo associated with Arch. SO, *if* you guys want I can replace it into unsupported alongside the existing bin32 package that currently resides there. Please advise me accordingly. Thanks in advance for letting me know *if* this program is wanted in unsupported. Very best regards; Bob Finch P.S.... Will it be possible to retain or reinstate the 250-odd votes this package received ?; as it is now NOT extent in either unsupported OR the community repo, and it would be nice to be able to properly reflect the voting.

[aur-general] moblock, libnetfilter_queue and libnfnetlink orphan request
by Filip Wojciechowski 18 Feb '08

18 Feb '08

Hello, I'd like to adopt moblock AUR package and its dependencies -- libnetfilter_queue and libnfnetlink. All of these packages are out of date and the version of moblock currently in AUR doesn't work at all since 2.6.23 kernel. I've tried emailing the current maintainer (nice_guy_eddy) but his email doesn't seem to exist anymore -- my email to him bounced back. Thanks for your help, Filip Wojciechowski (fwojciec)

[aur-general] license issues with google-earth in [community]?
by Pierre Schmitz 18 Feb '08

18 Feb '08

Hi, I just noticed that there is google-earth in our repos. I am not an expert in such things, but distributing such software does not seem to be allowed. The license says: You agree that you will not, and will not allow any third party to, (i) copy, sell, license, distribute, transfer, modify, adapt, translate, prepare derivative works from, decompile, reverse engineer, disassemble or otherwise attempt to derive source code from the Software, unless otherwise permitted, (ii) take any action to circumvent or defeat the security or content usage rules provided, deployed or enforced by any functionality (including without limitation digital rights management functionality) contained in the Software, (iii) use the Software to access, copy, transfer, transcode or retransmit content in violation of any law or third party rights, or (iv) remove, obscure, or alter Google's copyright notices, trademarks, or other proprietary rights notices affixed to or contained within or accessed in conjunction with or through the Software.

[aur-general] subcommander orphan request
by Neil Darlow 18 Feb '08

18 Feb '08

Hi, The version of subcommander-1.x in AUR has not been updated since August 2006. I have posted a comment with an updated PKGBUILD for 1.2.2 and e-mailed a new tarball to the current maintainer. No response was forthcoming. There is a subcommander2-svn also in AUR but I will be happy to maintain version 1.x until 2.x becomes mainstream. Regards, Neil Darlow

[aur-general] [DISCUSSION] filoktetes
by Ronald van Haren 18 Feb '08

18 Feb '08

As suggested by Callan, I will first start an open discussion about this subject. I tried to contact filoktetes for the last couple of weeks, first on 30th of January, after which I started a ping thread for him about a week after that, and contacted him by private mail three days ago. As he did never respond, I think it is time to take action. So what is the deal... - he missed the last 4 votes, which is by definition enough to start a removal discussion - currently 11 out of his 35 packages our out of date - he did never say he is inactive (AFAIK), though he seems not to reply He did update 2 packages on 31th of January, which is 1 day after my first mail. The last update before that dates from the 8th of December. I do not have anything against him personally, but I think this kind of behavior hurts the [community] repo, and the AUR in general. Please discuss!

[aur-general] mysql-5.0.51-3 broke.
by Jason R Begley 15 Feb '08

15 Feb '08

I found that the mysql-5.0.51-3 package ignores the directive in the my.cnf - datadir and defaults to the /var/lib/mysql folder.the 2 package did not have this problem. I rigged it to work by setting MYSQLD_ROOT in /etc/rc.conf/mysqld. Was this intentional? Thanks, Jason
