[aur-general] Orphaning / giving away packages
by Pierre Chapuis 27 Jan '10

27 Jan '10

I have just orphaned a few packages because I don't use them anymore, so you can adopt them if you want. They are: gfaim: cooking recipes software in French lib32-libmad: I probably needed it for a proprietary game someday... lout: LaTeX alternative ltsa: a formal verification tool for concurrent systems spin/xspin: formal verification of distributed software systems and protocols I have also kept the following packages but I'm willing to hand them over if someone else wants to maintain them: gsi-sshterm: Java SSH application to log in computing grids mpy-svn-stats: Subversion logs analyzer (generates stats...) springgraph: alternative to neato (renders graphs) sig2dot: tool to plot a GPG keyring python-irclib: Python IRC client library I have also orphaned globus, a toolkit to build grids, but maybe it should simply be removed or updated to version 5.0 (which is not backwards-compatible though, I didn't try to build it at all). The package gt provides version 4.0 but it looks unmaintained and is almost impossible to find because its description does not contain the word "Globus". Finally, I think the python-decorator package should go to community: it has 97 votes and is probably one of the most useful Python modules. If no TU wants to take it I will keep maintaining it in AUR. Thanks for reading ;) -- catwell

[aur-general] Please clean up mistakes in SVN
by Allan McRae 25 Jan '10

25 Jan '10

Hi, This is just a little note to remind people to clean up any mistakes made in SVN. If you do not know how to, then just ask. While figuring out why ABS was not working for community-testing on i686 I found packages committed to community-testing on the main repos SVN and committed to testing and extra on the community SVN. Also I found a src and pkg directory with some some sort of CVS stuff inside in the community SVN. Everything should be cleaned up now. Thanks, Allan

[aur-general] KDE 4.4 SC available in [kde-unstable]
by Pierre Schmitz 23 Jan '10

23 Jan '10

Hi everybody, we are working on the upcoming KDE SC release for some time now but we have reached a state when we would like to invite you to help us testing the new packages. There are about two weeks left until KDE SC 4.4 will finally be released; so the current snapshot is quite usable. Especially Devs and TUs should use the kde-unstable repository and check if their Qt or KDE related applications still work. If KDE 4.4 or Qt 4.6 does break your app please add Andrea and me to the assignees so we get an overview of the "damage". There is a small guide about using the kde-unstable repository at http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DeveloperWiki:KDE#Users So, if you feel you need to tell others about kde-unstable please always add a link to that page. Especially the repository ordering is important. Happy testing and thanks for your feedback, Pierre -- Pierre Schmitz, https://users.archlinux.de/~pierre

[aur-general] Removal of the last-exit player from [community]
by bardo 23 Jan '10

23 Jan '10

Hi fellow TUs, the last-exit package needs to be rebuilt, but now that the streaming isn't free anymore it doesn't work with most accounts. Furthermore it is dead upstream and their domain was just squatted. If nobody wants to maintain it I'd drop it to the AUR. If nobody answers I'll move it in three days. Corrado

[aur-general] Inactivity notice
by bardo 23 Jan '10

23 Jan '10

Hi fellow TUs, I'm in the process of changing ISP. Theoretically the Italian law says you should have almost no downtime during the switch, in practice my old ISP was disconnected yesterday morning and the new one still hasn't taken over the line. I'm at the window writing this e-mail with a connection I... borrowed... from a kind neighbour. So, until further notice consider me as totally inactive, hopefully not for a long time, and feel free to take whatever action you feel appropriate with my package. If you do anything more complex than a bump+release it'd be nice to send me an e-mail, which I'll read later. Thanks to all, Corrado

[aur-general] ISP issues, possible unavailability
by Evangelos Foutras 20 Jan '10

20 Jan '10

Hi TUs, I'm having trouble with my ISP which should be resolved very soon, but you never know. (This afternoon they said it was going to be fixed within an hour, but that was some 7 hours ago.) If you need to perform any action on any of my packages, feel free to do so. Take care. :)
