[aur-general] Removal request - libace
by Alex Belanger 05 Jan '12

05 Jan '12

After flagging out-of-date the package 'ace' and contacting the maintainer without a response, I created my own package 'libace' in a desesperate way to help others. Few months passed. Yesterday I noticed the maintainer came back to orphan his package, so I adopted it. I'm now the maintainer of 'ace' and 'libace' - both identical packages. I would like the temporary 'libace' removed in favor of the oldest one. Thanks.

[aur-general] Orphan request - android-2.2, android-2.3
by Jonathan Wilson 05 Jan '12

05 Jan '12

The packages android-2.2 and android-2.3 are both maintained by Figo.zhang and have been obsolete for many months. I emailed the dev about 6 weeks ago, and received no response. Please orphan the packages, and I will pick them up and maintain them. Thanks.

[aur-general] orphaned community packages (intel-tbb, arpack, libmatio, xml-rpc and aspell-pt)
by Eduardo Martins Lopes 04 Jan '12

04 Jan '12

Hello guys, I have an aur package (opencv-tbb https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=42121) that depends on intel-tbb, but this one is an orphaned community package and i would like to maintain it. Can i upload a pkbuild to the AUR (perhaps with the same name) ? There a few other orphans that would like to adopt, if it's possible: * libmatio - http://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/i686/libmatio/ * arpack - http://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/i686/arpack/ * xmlrpc-c - http://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/i686/xmlrpc-c/ * aspell-pt - http://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/i686/aspell-pt/ Although i do not use the last ones (except for the dictionary), they fall within the scope of my interests. Kind regards, -- Eduardo Martins Lopes - duca

[aur-general] Drop mplayer2 from [community]
by Stéphane Gaudreault 04 Jan '12

04 Jan '12

Mplayer2 was very promising last year when they forked from the original mplayer project. One of the main goal of this project was to provide more frequent release and updates. Unfortunatly, they failled to provide something else after the initial release. This initial release no longer build with current tools/libs and contain several major bugs. A workaround was to update our pkg to a recent git snapshot. Since then, I do not see any reason to continue to update this package which is currently broken. If there is no objection, I will drop the package from [community]. Users should consider to follow mplayer2-git from AUR or the original mplayer from [extra]. Cheers, Stéphane
