[aur-general] Adopting the paccheck package
by Bernard Baeyens 27 Mar '11

27 Mar '11

IgnorantGuru doesn't intend to continue maintaining the paccheck package, which is now broken after the pacman 3.5.1 upgrade. I wrote an updated version which can be used with the new pacman release. I agree to become the new maintainer of that package. Can you change that in the AUR please ? -------- Original Message from IgnorantGuru to me -------- Subject: Re: Patch for paccheck after pacman udgrade to 3.5.1 Date: Sat, 26 Mar 2011 16:17:12 -0600 From: IgnorantGuru <ignorantguru(a)users.sourceforge.net> To: Bernard Baeyens <berbae52(a)sfr.fr> It looks like you might send an email to the AUR mailing list to invoke the change.

[aur-general] Please remove firefox-bin
by nimetonmaili 27 Mar '11

27 Mar '11

Hey, Please remove 'firefox-bin'. It states that it uses beta versions but there's already 'firefox-beta-bin' for that - and there's also 'firefox' in [extra]. I told about it to the maintainer but he hasn't responded for 2 days (I also e-mailed him). Det

[aur-general] Google-earth and bin32-google-earth
by Det 27 Mar '11

27 Mar '11

Hey, There's been some discussion between me and the maintainer/submitter of 'bin32-google-earth' (srabd) as to whether 'google-earth' should finally replace 'bin32-google-earth'. He disagrees. In his oppinion the "bin32-" prefix should always be used when the package being offered is a "32-bit only" one. I in turn think that the package should be removed in the favor of 'google-earth' that you can install for both archs and where you could say eg. in the 'pkgdesc' that the package provides 32-bit binaries (for both archs). It is not as much of a problem for me to have 'bin32-google-earth' existing in the AUR as long as the other one didn't. It's redundant to provide otherwise the same application but the other package provides it for i686 only. So what should be done? I'm not a TU and neither is srabd - but you are. Let the discussion begin (please, let it). Thanks for your time, Det

[aur-general] New dbscripts and devtools releases
by Pierre Schmitz 26 Mar '11

26 Mar '11

Hi all, I have just updated dbscripts and devtools. The new epoch variable intrduced in pacman 3.5 is now supported and $repo.files databases are now in sync with the actual repo db. Devtools now optionally uses btrfs snapshots to create a build environment and also works better with multiple users. Archbuild has now to be run directly via sudo. See http://projects.archlinux.org/devtools.git/log/ for more details. And thanks to everybody envolved. Let me know if anything does no longer work as expected. Greetings, Pierre -- Pierre Schmitz, https://users.archlinux.de/~pierre

[aur-general] dropping xmltv and gtvg
by Stefan Husmann 26 Mar '11

26 Mar '11

Hello, I am dropping my packages xmltv and gtvg. I cannot properly support them because german TV is not supported at all. gtvg is on the todo list for the libnotify rebuild. If nobody wants to maintain them, I will move them to unsupported next weekend. Regards Stefan
