[aur-general] remove aur/supercollider-with-sn-plugins-git
by Bernardo Barros 14 May '11

14 May '11

Hi all One of my packages became obsolete and I forgot to warn about it. Please remove supercollider-with-sn-plugins-git https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=44763 Reason: supernova server was merged a long time ago into supercollider and this package is now equivalent to supercolider-with-extras-git already in aur and archaudio/experimental Thanks!

by Jelle van der Waa 14 May '11

14 May '11

Hi, Since i don't use evolution-rss anymore, i want to drop it into unsupported or does any TU want to maintain it? btw: latest release doesn't support evolution 3.0 yet ( you probably need to take a git snapshot ) -- Jelle van der Waa

Hellooooooo, Please dematerialize xorg-server-compositing-fix [1]. The maintainer already requested for its destruction when 1.9.3 would hit the repo but apparently TUs forgot about it or something. [1] = http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=41438 Thanks for your time, Det

[aur-general] sanity check / review my first AUR package
by Taylor Venable 13 May '11

13 May '11

Hi everybody, I just started using Arch a few weeks ago, and I've been mightily impressed. I want to help out, so I started looking in the AUR for things to do. I noticed that there doesn't seem to be a package for the devel version of SWI-Prolog. The stable release is in [community], and there are git snapshots in AUR, but they are old and unowned. So I created a package for the development release. The devel release is distinct from a git snapshot, which is why I created a separate package, rather than updating the git snapshot one. Since there are development releases, I don't personally find git snapshots to be that useful. I wanted to make sure I'm doing this correctly, so if you have the time to take a look for me I'd appreciate it. Any guidance will be welcomed. I basically copied the [community] package's PKGBUILD and modified the necessary properties. I only have x86_64 machines, so I've not checked i686, but the resulting binary package does work for me. Since I wanted to get a little review before submitting it, the package can be found on my website: http://metasyntax.net/swi-prolog-devel-5.11.20-1.src.tar.gz Thanks, -- Taylor C. Venable http://metasyntax.net/

by Baptiste 13 May '11

13 May '11

Hello, I would like to delete one of my packages: [1] `asciiportal-mod`. It was featuring a brand new patch, but the project has since moved to git and the [2] `asciiportal-git` package I've just uploaded is providing the same functionality. Thanks, Baptiste [1] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=48639 [2] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=49023 -- GNU/Linux fan && Archlinux user

[aur-general] Orphans [extra] repository cleanup
by Andrea Scarpino 13 May '11

13 May '11

Hi DEVs/TUs, I'm again on the cleanup of orphans packages in the [extra] repository; this time with a small list[1]. The list is based on orphans packages needed by none. I don't see very important packages there, but chromium, krusader, mc and proftpd which maybe should be kept in [extra]; though they will probably find their maintainers in [community]. As the last time (more than 7 months ago), please cross out the packages you want to keep in [extra]. Adoption is not required, but it would be nice. If you are a TU you can ask to maintain a package writing its name to the "Candidate to [community]" list[2]. I invite all you maintainers to check the orphans packages on the Arch website, many are maintained packages where the maintainer simply forgot to adopt it. Thanks [1] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DeveloperWiki:Repo_Cleanup [2] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DeveloperWiki:Repo_Cleanup#Candidate_t… -- Andrea

[aur-general] Request for removal (blok-git)
by Harley Laue 12 May '11

12 May '11

blok-git has been broken for some time upstream and seems unlikely to change. At the time it was sort of a proof-of-concept and now it's just source rotting. Because of this, blok-git can/should be removed. Thanks.

Orphaning that should have been a mistake since archboot installer uses gdisk extensively. I maintain gptfdisk-git http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=39338 . - Keshav
