[aur-general] Please delete masterm package
by Marq Schneider 25 Aug '10

25 Aug '10

Apparently masterm fell off the face of the Earth - sourceforge page no longer exists and Google searches produce nothing. Would someone be so kind as to remove masterm [0] for me? [0] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=28348 Thanks, Marq

[aur-general] Deletion request: kwebkitpart
by Nicky726 25 Aug '10

Hello, kwebkitpart is now in [extra] and make options look the same, so I guess it can be deleted from the AUR: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=39197 Nicky -- Don't it always seem to go That you don't know what you've got Till it's gone (Joni Mitchell)

[aur-general] Please delete openser
by Kaiting Chen 25 Aug '10

According to the web page openser is now opensips, which is in community. There should be no reason to keep it in unsupported. Kaiting. -- Kiwis and Limes: http://kaitocracy.blogspot.com/

Hi, I don't know if this qualifies for deletion but according to the website the project is dead. The author recommends using `shuf` which is in coreutils. Kaiting. -- Kiwis and Limes: http://kaitocracy.blogspot.com/

[aur-general] algoscore
by Nathan O 25 Aug '10

25 Aug '10

I am trying to get algoscore to work http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=23577 but so far everything I have tried gives me a problem. Using the makepkg -sf gives that there is a reference to the $srcdir and namcap gives algoscore E: Insecure RPATH '/home/ndowens/Aur/algoscore/src/AlgoScore/src/build/nasal' in file ('usr/bin/algoscore')

[aur-general] A slew of deprecated packages (none of which are mine)
by fasdfsa fsadfsaf 25 Aug '10

25 Aug '10

Hi TUs and... other people(?), So I got this nice list of unneeded packages in AUR that should be removed. None of these are mine so I don't know how justified my suggestions are - at least they've not been updated for some time and there is a replacement for most of them. First off let's stare "xorg-server-xephyr": http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=15438 The option "--enable-xephyr" is included in the official [extra]'s xorg-server so this package is not needed. This I'm not too sure about, "xorg-server-antidesktop": http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=23750 <http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=23750>I guess it's purpose is to start up with a blank screen.. but that should be the case these days anyway(?) xorg-server-catalyst: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=26728 There's "xorg-server-1.7-catalyst-maximize-fix", "xorg-server-1.8-catalyst-maximize-fix" and "xorg-server-catalyst-maximize-fix" in AUR so this one is not needed. xorg-server-gentoo: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=15089 Currently there are only these two tiny patches in the Gentoo's X server which are to 'disable ACPI' and 'prefer nouveau over nv'. At least it's a lot less than 'Joekey' (the maintainer) is happy to update for. songbird-bin: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/songbird-bin/songbird-bin/PKGBUILD, songbird-stable-bin: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=33050 I had to laugh when I saw this. These two PKGBUILDs are virtually _identical_. Why an earth would we need both? Actually the "songbird" package's PKGBUILD should be replaced with either one of those (it currently holds a non-working version of the songbird-svn package... for whatever reason) and then the two others removed (I mean _I think_ that's how it should be done). All that songbird-nightly* stuff should be removed too. In AUR there should be only the old stable Songbird (songbird), a SVN version (songbird-svn), a nightly version (songbird-nightly) and a bleeding edge one (being alpha/beta/rc) (songbird-beta). But only "songbird-svn" exists and works. "Songbird-auto-nightly" and "songbird-auto-beta" should just be moved to as "songbird-nightly" and "songbird-beta" (I take it this can only happen by telling the maintainer, ilikenwf, to upload those packages with the simplified name and then the former ones could be removed) and songbird(-stable)-bin "changed" to "songbird". It'd be _nice_ to also have the "xorg-server*-catalyst-maximize-fix" packages changed to just "xorg-server*-catalyst" but that's probably not worth it taken the "conflicts=()" changes with other PKGBUILDs, the removals of the formerly named package and other stuff like that... Thanks for your time, 'Det'
