[aur-general] Merge pyodbc into python2-pyodbc
by Robert Knauer 02 Mar '13

02 Mar '13

Hello, the package pyodbc[1] is flagged out of date for over a year, has the wrong name and depends on python, but it's for python2. I've uploaded two new packages, python2-pyodbc[2] for python2 and python-pyodbc[3] for python3. pyodbc[1] should get merged into python2-pyodbc[2]. Thanks in advance, Robert [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pyodbc/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python2-pyodbc/ [3] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python-pyodbc/ PS: Sorry for writing to arch-general, I accidently wrote to the wrong list. -- GnuPG-Key: EDC67BBA Fingerprint: D5F0 BC03 3F6D 521C 6F2D 40C8 DDBA 25D9 EDC6 7BBA

[aur-general] orphan request: mycraft
by Limao Luo 02 Mar '13

02 Mar '13

There's a package in the AUR called mycraft [1] that currently doesn't follow AUR guidelines, specifically the guideline about not putting stuff in the source package that can be downloaded from an outside source. Among the files in the source package is a png file that can be simply extracted from a jar file that is among the sources. Originally the jar was in the source package. After I notified the maintainer (makz) about 5 weeks ago about the jar and png, and included instructions based on my feedthebeast [2] package on how to extract the png, makz uploaded a new version with only the jar located externally; however, the png is still needlessly in the source package. makz last uploaded the PKGBUILD on Feb 13, and I emailed them a second time a couple days later with no response. As a result, I am requesting orphaning of mycraft [1]. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/my/mycraft/PKGBUILD [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/fe/feedthebeast/PKGBUILD

[aur-general] How to see the interest in a package (other than votes)?
by oliver 01 Mar '13

01 Mar '13

Hello, is it possible to see the number of downloads of packages from AUR, so that it can be detected, how much interest in a package exists? Say, there are some users who do not have a AUR-login, and just would install the packages that are there... which are possibly outdated, but would nevertheless be interested in installing newer package, if possible. If the download number is high enough, even if there are not much votes (because some people may only install stuff but are not interested in package maintaining and so on), then at least interest of a package might be detected this way. I'm asking, because I think I can adopt some more packages, but would of course only pick those that I find interesting. They might be interesting (topic), even if I wil not use them by myself. So, from that standpoint, I would then select by my own interest and that of other people. For packages that I use by myself, of course my interest is clear, and I would pick such packages. But say there are 100 orphaned packages and 20 of them look interesting, but I would not use them by myself, then I would adopt those, who are wanted by many people. (And any package that I want to install myself.) I hope I could make ckear, why I'm asking. Say, there are 5 interesting packages, but 3 of them will not be used, because that stuff is not used any more (maybe because better projects are to prefer), then three don't need support I think. So, the tarball download numbers do matter in this respect. Is it possible to add them to the AUR-pages of a project? Ciao, Oliver

[aur-general] Dropping nautilus-sound-converter
by Balló György 01 Mar '13

01 Mar '13

Hi, nautilus-sound-converter is still not ported to GStreamer 1.0, and it causes that it cannot be installed together with totem's nautilus plugin. Since I don't want to maintain conflicting packages, I decided to move nautilus-sound-converter from the [community] repository to AUR. -- György Balló Trusted User

[aur-general] [Removal Request] elsa and elsa-common
by Isaac C. Aronson 01 Mar '13

01 Mar '13

I was the original creator and maintainer of both 'elsa' and 'elsa-common'. Since I'm opting to just patch the upstream developer's auto-install script, the packages are pretty much useless for elsa. Could someone please remove them for me? Thank you.
