[aur-general] Fwd: [Server/distributed Arch] nagios/nrpe -> [community]
by Ido Rosen 02 Aug '14

02 Aug '14

Hi all, I'd like to amend my previous request for lldpd and/or ladvd to be moved to [community] or [extra], and add these packages: nagios nagios-nrpe nagios-nrpe-plugin (?) nagios-nsca Again, there are not many people using Arch in data center environments, so the vote counts on these packages may be disproportionately smaller relative to their actual importance to the Arch community in terms of installed machines. We have a lot of work to do in order to make ArchLinux more friendly to administrate in large, distributed deployments such as globally distributed data centers out of the box in a supported/official. I'm looking forward to the day Arch can compete with RHEL/Fedora. Ido

[aur-general] R: Moving noip from [community] to AUR
by Giovanni Santini 01 Aug '14

01 Aug '14

Yo, I've just to point out that the free hostname expires just if the IP associated to it is not updated for 30 days. About the moving decision, I've no decisional power for it; I'm using noip2 on my personal Ubuntu Server and I had to compile it on my own (Ubuntu has no AUR and no PPA for it, doh). Maybe I should create a package... :) Kudos, Giovanni -------- Messaggio originale -------- Oggetto:[aur-general] Moving noip from [community] to AUR Da:Alexander Rødseth <rodseth(a)gmail.com> A:Discussion Repository <aur-general(a)archlinux.org> Cc: Hi, Some time ago I adopted the noip package. It's a GPL client that connects to what seems to be a commercial service offered by no-ip.com. The free service offered by them has a hostname that expires every 30 days. I am a bit surprised that this was an official package in the first place. When asking for opinions on IRC, there was support for moving the noip package to AUR. In addition to this, there seems to be several alternative clients, with slightly different versioning schemes. Both here: http://www.noip.com/download?page=linux and here: http://onevista.com/noip2.html. This confusion generated a low volume of out-of-date flags. It just smells bad. Moving it. -- Best regards, Alexander Rødseth / xyproto

[aur-general] ArchLinux TU Application: Fabio Castelli (Muflone)
by Muflone 31 Jul '14

31 Jul '14

Hi everyone My name's Fabio Castelli (aka Muflone) from Italy and I wish to apply to become a TU for ArchLinux to maintain some packages in the community repository. My TU sponsor is György Balló. I actually work as a software developer in a local private company and I use GNU/Linux since the 1998, having started with Slackware 2.0. Many years have passed through Fedora, Debian, Ubuntu and finally ArchLinux that actually I use daily at home and at my job place since a couple of years. Debian is still often used for software packaging, to deploy services in my network and for less experienced colleagues that needs some GNU/Linux environment in my job place. My experience in development is long term, starting in '80s with C=64 Basic, actually I work daily in Python (under Windows, GNU/Linux and i5/OS, both desktop, server and web platforms), Delphi and VB (under Windows), RPG/400 and CL (under i5/OS) and many other things which I use less often, like C or J2EE. My open source contributions are a really long list but let's try to not be boring: - maintainer for over 160 packages in the AUR, most of them updated often: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/?SeB=m&K=Muflone https://github.com/muflone/pkgbuilds/ - maintainer for some Debian packages: https://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=muflone@vbsimple.net https://alioth.debian.org/projects/python-apps/ - author of various open source softwares: http://www.muflone.com/english.html https://github.com/muflone/ https://code.google.com/u/102825094329389897213/ https://www.openhub.net/accounts/Muflone - written hundreds of articles for an Italian website around VB6 development through the 1998 and 2004: http://www.vbsimple.net/ - written hundreds of articles for an Italian website around Ubuntu through the 2009 and the 2011: http://ubuntrucchi.wordpress.com/ - support in the Italian Ubuntu forum, I was the second most active member of the forum through the 2009 and the 2012: http://forum.ubuntu-it.org/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=73229 - support and founder of LQH (Linux Quality Help), an Italian GNU/Linux forum where normal users could ask their questions and only the experts group could offer support, resulting in higher quality service, ran only from highly experienced users through the 2009 and the 2012: https://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.linuxqualityhelp.it/supporto - written tenth of Italian video guides around PyGTK development through the 2008 and the 2010: http://pygtk.wordpress.com/ - written a couple of articles around GNOME Shell in the 2011: http://gnomeshell.wordpress.com/ - could continue but better stopping here.. too boring. I'm sorry! ArchLinux is actually my favorite GNU/Linux distributions and I think I could do a lot of work in enhancing this great distribution. What I love about ArchLinux is the perfect control it gives to me and it needs from me. Every time I need some software, I package it and then I publish it under AUR. I try to apply an old Microsoft rule: "Never ever write the same thing twice", so if the software resulted useful to me then it could be useful for other users and AUR is a perfect place where to find stuff. There are a lot of packages that I wish to move in the community repository: hfsprogs, kompozer, sweethome3d, gmtp, arista, spyder/spyder3, sbackup, gwakeonlan, gespeaker, remmina-plugin-*, python-ptrace. There are also packages maintained from other users that I wish to see in community repository: dex2jar, dmg2img, firefox-theme-adwaita and thunderbird-theme-adwaita, gigolo, gscan2pdf, httrack, linkchecker, loggedfs, netactview, pacmanlogviewer, parallel-python, pyrenamer. I read daily the AUR general and AUR requests mailing lists but I never participate in the discussions, after many years of discussions in other ML and forums I lost the pleasure in writing stuff inside the communities. The same applies to IRC, too much time spent in helping others (I was also HelpOp in #irchelp) forced me to away even from IRC. My job coincided with my favorite hobby so, apart my personal projects (see GitHub) I love reading heavy books (technical, development, sysadmin, networking but also theater or classic novels) and watching films when the TV is not owned by my gf. Thank you for reading up to here. Best regards Fabio Castelli / Muflone

[aur-general] Not able to register with the AUR site
by Karthik K 29 Jul '14

29 Jul '14

I'm trying to register with the AUR site, but every time I fill up the registration form and submit the details, the page just refreshes and just goes back to the original state. Is this a known bug? How can new users register with the AUR site?
