[aur-general] AUR/[extra]/[community] duplicates

[Lukas Fleischer]

Hi,

Just wrote a small script to check for duplicate package names in the
AUR and the official repos and created a list of duplicates. For each of
the packages I quickly checked AUR and [extra]/[community] package
versions, AUR comments and whether there seem to be some additional
patches in the AUR version. It might be better to double check tho...

The following packages already are in [extra] and AUR versions seem to
be equivalent or outdated:

- gcin: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=39653
- gthumb: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=27129
- libwpg: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=25652
- perl-class-factory-util: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=25955
- perl-class-inspector: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=10540
- perl-datetime-format-builder: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=25956
- perl-datetime-format-strptime: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=9334
- perl-image-size: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=3286
- perl-time-hires: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=35514
- perl-xml-parser: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=40119
- v4l-utils: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=38218
- xpyb: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=19975

Following packages already are in [community] and AUR versions seem to
be equivalent or outdated:

- cadaver: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=8635
- cksfv: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=8688
- evas-svn: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=19315

- ktoblzcheck: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=9104
- lwp: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=8703
- perl-parse-recdescent: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=36080

- wmctrl: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=1294
- lib32-alsa-oss: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=12815
- lib32-ati-dri: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=29742
- lib32-intel-dri: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=24770

- lib32-libstdc++5: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=11191

Quite a few packages that are already in the official repos are
maintained by the Arch Haskell team in the AUR. I'm not sure what to do
with them. These packages include:

- darcs: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=39679
- happy: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=26280
- gtk2hs-buildtools: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=37478
- haskell-cgi, haskell-dataenc, haskell-deepseq,
  haskell-extensible-exceptions, haskell-hashed-storage,
  haskell-haskeline, haskell-hunit, haskell-mmap, haskell-quickcheck,
  haskell-regex-base, haskell-regex-compat, haskell-regex-posix,
  haskell-stm, haskell-terminfo

Following packages should probably stay in the AUR although they're
duplicates, check AUR comments:

- awesome: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=13038
- q4wine: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=36728
- sk1: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=16559
- sk1libs: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=35066

gadmin-samba (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=40599) seems to
be newer than the package in [community] but the project homepage says
the [community] package is still up-to-date. Maybe the AUR version is an
unstable release?

sleuthkit (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=2012) and the
sleuthkit package in [community] seem to have some differences in the
PKGBUILD. Not sure what to do, check AUR comments.

So far... Hope that helps :)
