[aur-general] Duplicates in AUR (flashrom-svn)
by Anton Shestakov 02 Jul '10

02 Jul '10

I want to bring attention to the following packages: flashrom-dev - http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=30391 flashrom-svn - http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=23390 flashrom-svn-new - http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=36865 They all build flashrom from the same svn repo. The second package was the first one uploaded to AUR, but it have been last updated 25 Aug 2009 and doesn't contain libftdi dependence. I think we should remove flashrom-dev and flashrom-svn-new and keep flashrom-svn (it has more votes after all). I did not contact the maintainer of the second package, but judging by the last date he updated his packages (25 Aug 2009), hopes that he will come and update flashrom-svn aren't big at all. So I suggest orphaning the package as well. Thanks in advance. P.S.: should we even keep a possibly unstable version of an utility that may erase your BIOS is another question (:

by Laurent Carlier 01 Jul '10

01 Jul '10

Hi, my name is Laurent Carlier (lordheavy). I would like to become a TU, so decided to go through the first step : find a sponsor; I'm a linux user since '98, archer for about 2 years now (i've got some mandrake/debian/LFS/openbsd/...) and i'm adept of free software and KISS philosophy. Got knowledges about c/c++/bash/autotools/cmake/git/svn/..., and currently an active developper of the gambas project. I maintain some packages in aur see http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?SeB=m&K=lordheavy . I've proposed a PKGBUILD for a splitted gambas2 package see http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/19318 Feel free for questions :-) Regards, LordHeavy

Hi, I'm the maintener of Opera-qt3. The new version is out (opera 10.60) and no longer depend on qt. So users will be able to build the package maintain by ruario (opera employe) with Qt3 or whatever toolkit the want. This package is no longer needed. So may I ask some admin to delete my package? Here : http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=21390 Thanks you.

[aur-general] Package obsolete, please remove
by Maxime Wack 30 Jun '10

The inkscape-nognome package (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=13145) is obsolete, does not work (it depends on libpoppler 0.12, current is 0.14) and is also not needed either because inkscape on [Extra] does not depend on gnome anymore. Thus I think it is safe to remove it. Thank you !

[aur-general] Dangerous package - requesting temporary removal
by Sven-Hendrik Haase 29 Jun '10

29 Jun '10

I'm requesting that "libcamp-git" (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=38213) be removed for the time being. The packager appears to be inexperienced and currently MAKING the package results in pollution of the user system if the user has root permissions. If not, the package fails to build. I notified the maintainer in the comments and I'm unsure if I'm being unfair by already bringing this up on the mailing list since he appears to be inexperienced but what the package does is rather dangerous. -- Sven-Hendrik
