[aur-general] packaging a weird library, symlinks
by Philipp 22 Jul '10

22 Jul '10

Hi, I try to package the IUP toolkit. The build system is fairly weird, but in cooperation with the upstream project manager I think I know the steps necessary to package it. It would need a custom environment variable LUA_CPATH set to something matching the installed lib. Afaik this would be something the user would need to do manually, which I'd like to avoid. The IUP project manager suggested that a symlink might do the trick instead: iuplua.so -> libiuplua51.so Is this something sensible to do? -- Regards, Philipp -- "Wir stehen selbst enttäuscht und sehn betroffen / Den Vorhang zu und alle Fragen offen."

[aur-general] [gg2] drop to AUR
by Laurent Carlier 22 Jul '10

22 Jul '10

http://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/i686/gg2/ Homepage isn't the right anymore except if you want to get infos about oral surgeon or want to get tips for carpet cleaning. Searching a bit i found the sourceforge.net homepage : http://sourceforge.net/projects/ggadu/ -> Last code commited : 1355 days ago Also there is alternatives in pidgin or kopete, surely others ++

[aur-general] I (td123) will be going inactive for the next couple of weeks.
by Thomas Dziedzic 22 Jul '10

22 Jul '10

I will be going somewhere with supposedly little to no net connection. I should be back by Aug. 8th. I will only fix/maintain my current packages during this period (minimal work). Work on sage-mathematics to get it included into community will stall. Of course patches will be most appreciated but I don't expect anyone to take over. :) Cheers!

[aur-general] Moving airsnort to AUR
by Thorsten Töpper 21 Jul '10

21 Jul '10

Hello, I just adopted swiergot's package airsnort[1], however a look at the projects website made me aware that the last release was in January 2005 and the developers themselves recommend the usage of aircrack-ng. Any objections?

[aur-general] [flock] drop to AUR
by Ronald van Haren 21 Jul '10

21 Jul '10

Hey guys, I'd like to drop flock [1] (some social web browser) to AUR soon, if any of you want to continue to support it in community, be my guest. The reason I want to remove it is that I'm fed up with the company developing it. For years communicating with them hasn't been a pleasure. E-mails don't get answered, forum posts only if you ask something they like to answer. A few years ago they removed the source code only to add it to some svn server which they did not document and it took quite some time for somebody to tell me where I could find the source. Then all of a sudden they disabled public svn access and put some source tarballs up somewhere, of course agains without documentation and you have to hunt the link down somewhere in their forum in a reply to someone. They also removed the developer portal from their site. Need more reasons? Last month they released a brand new deprecated version based on the firefox 3.0 unmaintained code. Security anyone? Of course the source was only made available quite some time after the binaries were released. Their next upcoming browser, which they indicated would be based on firefox 3.5/3.6 for the last year, will suddenly be based upon chromium and is currently available in beta for windows and mac osx coming sometime later this month as they say. I have no idea if they will ever release a binary i686 linux version, nor if they will be releasing the source code anytime soon (if they are required to do so based upon the chromium license?). So even if they release the source code I'm not sure if it will be even remotely compatible with our libs or requires massive patching. I suppose I could go on, but that's the main reason I'd like to drop it. Ronald [1] http://www.flock.com/
