[aur-general] TU Resignation - mOLOk
by Alessio 'mOLOk' Bolognino 25 Jan '08

25 Jan '08

Hi fellow TUs, ~13 months have passed since my election, today I decided to step down. I really enjoyed doing this job, it taught myself a lot and gave me the chance to give back something to this great community. The first months I created hundreds (literally) of packages, I gave suggestions to AUR users how to improve their packaging skills and things like that. Lately my enthusiasm dropped and slowly reached zero. When I receive an out of date notification instead of thinking "Cool, a new version of that app.", I think "Oh, cr*p, I have to update and test that silly stuff". So, "It's not funny anymore"™. Moreover, I'd like to spend more time studying and contributing to different projects. Anyway, I'll still use Arch, so you'll probably read my mails now and then on the mailing lists 8) Now, the technical stuff, this is the list of the packages I maintain in [community]: gnome/gtranslator - not required by any package lib/confuse - required by tilda and awesome (maybe others) lib/fpconst - req. by python-soappy lib/gnu-efi - req. by refit lib/librsync - req. by rdiff-backup lib/python-soappy - not required by any lib/python-sqlalchemy - req. by griffith multimedia/griffith - not required by any multimedia/lxmusic - broken multimedia/mp3gain - not required by any network/ddclient - not required by any network/flock - not required by any network/links-g - not required by any network/mldonkey - not required by any network/sopcast - required by gsopcast and qsopcast network/youtube-dl - not required by any system/mairix - not required by any system/man-pages-it - not required by any system/nopaste - not required by any system/pommed - required by gpomme system/rdiff-backup - not required by any system/unace - not required by any x11/gpomme - not required by any x11/gsopcast - not required by any x11/lxpanel - not required by any x11/lxsession - not required by any x11/netwmpager - not required by any x11/obmenu - not required by any x11/openbox-themes - not required by any x11/pcmanfm - not required by any x11/sancho-gtk - not required by any x11/smplayer - required by smplayer-themes x11/smplayer-themes - not required by any x11/sux - not required by any x11/xkbset - not required by any note: smplayer{,-themes} will go in [extra] when qt4 will go out of [testing]; pommed/gpomme require an Apple laptop to be tested; lxmusic is broken and the author won't fix it any time soon. I'll move packages that won't be adopted in 2,3 weeks in [unsupported] (so please don't delete my account yet :) Cheers, -- Alessio 'mOLOk' Bolognino Arch Linux Trusted User (for the last time :) Please send personal email to themolok(a)gmail.com Public Key http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xFE0270FB GPG Key ID = 1024D / FE0270FB 2007-04-11 Key Fingerprint = 9AF8 9011 F271 450D 59CF 2D7D 96C9 8F2A FE02 70FB

[aur-general] helixplayer disowned
by tardo 24 Jan '08

24 Jan '08

Due to the extremely complex nature of the build system and lack of time to figure out, the package has been disowned. If someone doesn't pick it up in a few days, I'll throw it back in unsupported.

[aur-general] Package Update: shorewall-perl
by Vardyr 24 Jan '08

24 Jan '08

As noted in the latest newsletter, the shorewall-perl package in AUR is orphaned and out-of-date. The package is currently in [community] so I cannot adopt it, but I have updated the PKGBUILD and attached it to this message. I'm not sure if this is the appropriate method for submitting this particular update, so please correct me if need be. Notes/critiques on the PKGBUILD are appreciated as well. -Vardyr

[aur-general] fortune-mod-cs update
by Dragonlord 23 Jan '08

23 Jan '08

Hi, I'd like to adopt the "fortune-mod-cs" package in AUR. The current maintainer doesn't care about my comments under the package, neither does he respond on my email. Can someone orphan the package, so that I can adopt it? Thanks D

[aur-general] Eclipse-Qt update
by Shaika-Dzari 22 Jan '08

22 Jan '08

Hi everyone. I sent an (gentle ^_^) email 4 days ago to eclipse-qt maintainer to ask him to update his package on Aur but I did not get any response. The last update was 24 June 2007. http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?do_Details=1&ID=11798&O=25&L=0&C=0&K=… In my email, I offered him to adopt his package if he did not have the time to maintain it. What can we do if he did not response? Could I adopt his package or should I simply post my new pkgbuild as a comment? Thank you for your help. -- Shaika-Dzari http://www.guidelinux.org http://code.google.com/p/animeshell

[aur-general] [REMOVAL] Discussion period for nesl247
by JJDaNiMoTh 22 Jan '08

22 Jan '08

Nesl, this officially marks the discussion period for your removal as a Trusted User. * You disappear ( and haven't vote ) since October; * Anyone know where you are ( any response on [who has seen him] thread) * Seems that you have resigned ( in chat.. lol ) For this paragraph of TU Bylaws 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. I open the three day discussion period. -- JJDaNiMoTh - ArchLinux Trusted User
