[aur-general] Duplicate packages
by Allen Li 05 Feb '14

05 Feb '14

I just noticed that there are three packages for The Dark Mod game in the AUR: darkmod, v2.00-1, maintainer caemir doom3-darkmod, v1.08-1, orphan thedarkmod, v2.0-4, maintainer naelstrof Do we have a policy for handling such situations? It seems like it would be in everyone's best interests to merge into one package to minimize maintenance costs. Allen

[aur-general] [mcabber-hg] Disownment Request
by tuftedocelot 05 Feb '14

05 Feb '14

To whom it may concern, I am requesting disownment of the mcabber-hg[1] AUR package so I may claim maintainership. I contacted the current maintainer two weeks ago[2] about merging in my PKGBUILD to improve functionality, but also to bring it up to the current PKGBUILD standards. I have not received a reply from the maintainer. One interesting thing to note is that the last updated date will change on a regular basis (usually around 23:00), but the PKGBUILD itself is unchanged. The PKGBUILD is actually useless by itself as it requires the user to manually fetch the sources before running makepkg -s. Regards, Lucas [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/mcabber-hg/ [2] Date: Wed, 22 Jan 2014 12:25:40 -0600 From: tuftedocelot <tuftedocelot(a)saga.silenceisdefeat.net> To: nixtrian(a)gmail.com Subject: mcabber-hg PKGBUILD User-Agent: Mutt/1.5.21 (2010-09-15) Hi nixtrian, I took a bit of time to rework your PKGBUILD for mcabber-hg and was wondering if you could take a look at it. It adds in support for libotr4, version numbering from commits, adds in the source paramter for cloning, and I've split the build function into build and package functions. It worked fine on my machine and a friend's so it should be ready to roll. https://gist.github.com/tuftedocelot/8564092 Let me know what you think... Thanks, Lucas

[aur-general] Package of Questionable Legality
by Sam Stuewe 05 Feb '14

05 Feb '14

Free-cinema [1], appears to be of very questionable legality. It appears that it was designed specifically to be used for pirating movies. I don't know what the protocol is for dealing with this, just thought it was worth reporting. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/free-cinema/ -- All the best, Sam Stuewe (HalosGhost)

[aur-general] Deletion of "flashplugin-aur"
by Noel Kuntze 05 Feb '14

05 Feb '14

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hello mailing list, I disregarded the top most rule of the AUR and uploaded a newer PKGBUILD for an already supported package, but noticed that after I already uploaded it. So I'd like to get rid of it now, which is only possible if one privileged person deletes it. The package name is "flashplugin-aur". I'd be grateful if that could be done.

[aur-general] TU application, sponsored by Lukas Fleischer
by Jonas Heinrich 03 Feb '14

03 Feb '14

Hi ArchLinux community, I like to apply as TU, sponsored by Lukas Fleischer (aka CryptoCrack), since my passion and work for ArchLinux continues since half a decade and I really would like to get more involved into development and package maintaining. My name is Jonas (my public key [1]), I'm 23 years old, computer science student in Karlsruhe, Germany. I switched to Linux in school while working voluntarily on a school server [2] and school internet cafe together with a class mate in our free time. Hacking on fun projects became on of my big hobbies and some of them are documented in my blog [3]. I get a lot of inspiration and exchange in my local hacker space, the Entropia e.V. [4] which is part of the CCC (Chaos Computer Club) [5] but also at work as a network administrator at the architecture faculty of my university. I love ArchLinux, using it on my servers (with several ArchLinux vms) and on my laptop, because it's simple, basic and fast. The wiki is also one of my favorite places in the community, because all the documentation is pragmatic and to the point. I constantly write new how-to's or improve instructions on other pages [6]. In my opinion, a well written Wiki/Doku, also for all the third-party software, is very important and one reason why I don't want to use Debian anymore for my projects. I learned how to write clean and sometimes complex PKGBUILDs over time and now maintaining up to 150 AUR packages [7]. Some of them are really important to me (using them on my server or integrated them to my projects) and I think also important to the community, so I would like to put them into the community repository. For example: archivemount, btar, dmtcp, etherpad-lite, freecad, gallery, gitlab, hlds, joomla, opentracker, pyload, python-libtorrent-rasterbar, sslstrip, etc. For other packages, I adopted them just to fix broken PKGBUILDs or I tried to port non-supported software to ArchLinux like Zenoss, oVirt or Kolab while working with their developers to improve ArchLinux support. At least, here are some of my experimental projects you can look at: p2pacman [8], pkgcheck [9], wikidict [10], carpc based on ArchLinux [11]. For further questions, you can find me on #archlinux at freenode or just ask them here on the mailinglist. Best regards, Jonas [1] http://onny.project-insanity.org/files/gpg.asc [2] http://www.project-insanity.org/blog/2010/06/03/dokumentation-zur-einrichtu… (text unfortunately in German) [3] http://project-insanity.org [4] https://entropia.de [5] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaos_Computer_Club [6] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Special:Contributions/Onny [7] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/?K=onny&SeB=m [8] https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=163362 [9] https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=162816 [10] https://git.morbi-happens.de/onny/wikidict [11] http://www.project-insanity.org/blog/2012/10/10/archlinux-touchscreen-carpc…

[aur-general] Dropping laptop-mode-tools to AUR
by Lukas Jirkovsky 03 Feb '14

03 Feb '14

I'm not using laptop-mode-tools for a long time now and recently I've got two bug reports that I don't really want to bother fixing (they are upstream problems). If nobody steps up to maintaining this package by the next Friday, I will drop it to AUR. Lukas
