[aur-general] [Deletion Request] kbluetooth4-svn
by Panos Filip 19 Sep '09

19 Sep '09

Hello to everyone ! I am Flamelab on AUR, and I orphaned kbluetooth4-svn, since the new one's (kdebluetooth-svn) and (kdebluetooth-devel) seem to work better than my own (they provide the same upstream program), and their maintainer seems to be more interested on them. Please, can someone delete my own ;)

That's a great thing - I now know I have a lot to fix :) > And yes, those duplicates are real dupes in community Dupes come mostly from the any-arch transition. In fact I had looked around a bit, but couldn't find some king of guide - what exactly should we untag on the repo to remove a specific architecture?

[aur-general] Please delete package "mumble-svn"
by Sven-Hendrik Haase 19 Sep '09

Hey, please delete AUR package "mumble-svn" because the Mumble project has since switched to GIT and the SVN is unmaintained. http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=23369 -- Sven-Hendrik

[aur-general] Adding a .deb packaged application to the AUR
by Jeff Horelick 18 Sep '09

18 Sep '09

Hello Listmates, I have a package here i'd really like to add to the AUR. The problem is that its packaged in a .deb. How would i go about packaging this for Arch? Feel free to just point at: "Look at this other package" or "Read this wiki page". In case some of you guys don't know the formmat that a .deb is in: An ar archive, inside there are 2 tarballs, one called control.tar.gz which for our purposes can be mostly ignored and one called data.tar.gz which has the actual application files laid out in the directory structure of the system similar to a Arch final binary package. (usr/bin/stuff, usr/share/stuff and so on). Or would it be easier for me to just setup a GitHub or BitBucket account, drop all the source files on there and simply make a hg or git package? (For the record and all, it's not my project, but it is GPLv2 so....)

[aur-general] kernel26-firmware and third-party kernels
by Ray Rashif 17 Sep '09

17 Sep '09

Hey all Would it be OK (as in KISS) to shove in a custom kernel's equivalent firmware into /lib/firmware/$(uname -r)? By looking at the /lib/udev/firmware.sh script it's one of the default look-up paths. But if I (and subsequent third-party packagers) start doing this, it will break the consistency as kernel26's firmware are in that dir. The only resolution here is that kernel26 uses /lib/firmware/$(uname -r) as well. I'm pretty sure that the blobs are hardware-dependent and not software, but from looking at the kernel26 buildscripts so far it appears they are being bumped for every minor revision update. Why is this being done? If there is indeed no problem whatsoever and any kernel can use firmware of any version, then this case can be dismissed :) Regards

[aur-general] Package removal request
by Tavian Barnes 17 Sep '09

The nouveau-drm-git package has been superseded by the nouveau-drm-snapshot and kernel26-nouveau-git packages. It would be great if nouveau-drm-git could be removed to reduce confusion. Thanks, -- Tavian Barnes

[aur-general] Orphan request and illegal package
by F B 17 Sep '09

17 Sep '09

Hi, could you orphan this package? http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=16940 The maintainer doesn't update it and doesn't responds to the comments, however he is still active in aur. This package http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=24209 doesn't follow the aur rules, for more infos see FrozenFox last comment. Thank you in advance.
