[aur-general] perl-perlio-eol
by merp boop 21 Oct '11

21 Oct '11

Hey guys, I'm trying to upload perl-perlio-eol to the AUR, and I'm getting a message that it's blacklisted. Apparently, due to this commit... http://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/community.git/commit/?id=598b724e52b… ...it was dropped from community, but doesn't that mean that it's perfectly fine to maintain in the AUR? If this is so, I'd be happy to put it up and keep an eye on it. Thanks in advance! -Max

[aur-general] Removal request: pidgin-knotify
by Jan Böhringer 17 Oct '11

17 Oct '11

Hello, I'm the maintainer of pidgin-knotify( https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=32919 ) in the AUR and i think the package should be removed as soon as possible. Today a user notified me about an unfixed bug, which allows remote command injection. It does not seem like this will be fixed in the foreseeable future. IMHO it would be best to remove the package. Thanks

[aur-general] Please delete pidgin-gtalk-shared-status
by Oon-Ee Ng 17 Oct '11

17 Oct '11

pidgin-gtalk-shared-status[1] should be deleted, as pidgin-gtalksharedstatus [2] is a better (my subjective opinion) name and pre-dates it, plus has more votes (and is actually up-to-date). I just disowned [2] myself since I don't use it anymore, but found [1] while searching for it, so I thought keeping things clean is better =).

[aur-general] TU Application - Massimiliano Torromeo
by Massimiliano Torromeo 17 Oct '11

17 Oct '11

Hi, Sven-Hendrik Haase is sponsoring my application as a trusted user. I thought about applying as a TU for some time now, I think the selection of packages provided by Arch is already great but there is always space for additional quality software in community and I hope to help with that. Here's a little background about myself: I'm a 28yr old italian guy, working as a system administrator and developer at a company that provides web-services, hosting and housing solutions. I first tried linux out of curiosity back when Mandriva was still called Mandrake, but I didn't like it at all and the RPM system made me cry tears of blood. I didn't linux again for a couple of years and then I tried gentoo. I was at my last year of high school and, being already a developer at heart, I wasn't scared but rather really interested by its packaging system that required extensive time of compilation but providing extreme customization possibilities at the same time. That was the time when I finally dropped Windows for good and I kept using gentoo for years as my primary os, while only checking out other distros every once in a while. In all this years I tried many other distributions both out of personal curiosity and for work: Suse, Red Hat, Fedora, CentOS, [K]Ubuntu, Mint, Debian, Slackware, Oracle Linux and of course Arch! plus some BSDs (FreeBSD and Mac OSX), but I still like Arch the best. Like I said, I am a developer at heart and I released some applications [1] as opensource, first as GPL but I then became more of a BSD/MIT guy. The most successful of them all has been a grafical frontend for embedded devices such as gaming handhelds which I developed (using SDL/C++) initially for the GP2X [2] but was later ported to many other devices by other developers/communities, called GMenu2X [3]. I am a confident developer who loves the Python language, but I also user very often PHP, C++, Bash (for scripts of course) and other languages. My work as a system administrator involves installing and configuring machines (Arch based whenever possible) with a variety of server softwares, and that's where I will probably focus as a TU. I already maintain a private repository of packages that help me keep the aforementioned machines up-to-date. >From this packages I selected an initial list of what I plan to move to community: - percona-server - mariadb (refactored to replace mysql, unlike the one in AUR. See [4]) - nagios-nrpe - nagios-plugins - nmon - ttf-ubuntu-font-family - rt3562sta - arp-scan - e4rat - mtop - php-mongo - pngcrush - supervisor - vdfuse - vbox-runner You can see on the AUR [5] and on github [6] that I have written already a pretty long list of PKGBUILDs including the popular dropbox. If you have any question, just ask. Thanks!

by Andrzej Giniewicz 14 Oct '11

14 Oct '11

Hi, since version 2.7.* Python(x,y) is no longer distributed in separate packages (light,basic and full) and there is no eclipse bundled anymore. Because of this, package python2-xy replaces all other python2-xy-* packages. I'd like to ask for removal of: python2-xy-noeclipse https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=48847 python2-xy-basic https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=48845 python2-xy-light https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=48844 Thanks, Andrzej.
