[aur-general] uqm-new to replace uqm
by Jookia 31 Aug '11

31 Aug '11

The latest uqm packages are out of date and lack a launcher[1][2], so I've updated the package to 0.7.0 and added a launcher, and uploaded it as uqm-new[3] to AUR. Could somebody put this on the track to replace the mainline uqm package (after reviews, of course)?

Hi, I think airoscript-svn [1] can safely be removed, as the svn repository is empty and [2] provides the current version. Thanks, Max [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=28156 [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=33596

[aur-general] JBoss packages
by Cédric Girard 31 Aug '11

31 Aug '11

There is 5 different packages on AUR: jboss-web [1] : version 2.1.9 jboss [2] : version 5.1.0 jboss4 [3] : version 4.2.3 jboss6 [4] : version 6.0.0 jboss7 [5] : version 7.0.1 While I may understand the need for older versions in some case (is there?), the naming scheme make little sense to me. Why jboss [2] is not the latest version (ie 7) ? jboss-web [1] does not seems right either. What do you think ? [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=51353 [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=45146 [3] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=5293 [4] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=39213 [5] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=51257 -- Cédric Girard

qtiplot-newest (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=47810) simply intends to update versions numbers quicker than the repository. I'm not sure what the rules are surrounding this situation. uqm-new (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=51672) has similar intentions. libmowgli-new (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=47375) does the same thing and is currently orphaned. libdrm-newest https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=22973 does the same thing and is actively maintained. libksba-latest (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=50960) did the same thing but "Libksba 1.2 is now in [Extra]. This package is no longer required." and has subsequently been orphaned. tremulous-updated (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=21426) does/did the same thing (the tremelous project hasn't been updated since 2009). libdvdnav-new (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=17355) does/did the same thing (the project hasn't been updated since 2008). telepathy-glib-newest (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=50140) also does this. It is currently orphaned. The submitter says in the comments: "This package will be needed until telepathy-glib on extra is updated to 0.15.1." lyx-newest (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=48936) looks like it does the same thing but has changed a few couple flags in the process. I'll edit the original duplicates list once these packages have been processed by a TU.
