[aur-general] PKGBUILD for java-gnome
Hi, in [community] there is the package java-gnome. http://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/i686/java-gnome/ However there is no PKGBUILD to download for it. How can I access it? Also it says that it's unmaintained. Could it be put back in AUR so I can update and maintain the package? Regards Michael

Hi! I was the owner of gguitar PKGBUILD, but since the project was renamed to wxguitar, i decided to create another PKGBUILD. Could someone with sufficient rights could delete gguitar from AUR?

Re: [aur-general] TU application: Laszlo Papp
I haven't got big knowledge, I am not TU or developer, but I would like to express my sincere support to Laszlo, because he always helped me and helped those who needed, in patching a Makefile with sed, general PKGBUILD questions, and archlinux/linux general questions. We talked about him yesterday(2 person) on #archlinux-br channel, and the conclusion was he would be a great TU, and we support him. I trust him, really, he helped me(too) a lot, in enthusiastic way, without any agressive senctence. I wouldn't write so long mail, I think it's better to read more opinion than just a few. Good luck. Laszlo! 2009/7/31, Laszlo Papp djsza...@gmail.com: Hello, I'd like to formally express my interest in becoming a Trusted User. My name is Laszlo Papp and I'm addicted to archlinux. :) I'm a 23 year old from Hungary, working at a resourcement/development company as Embedded Linux Developer. I've been using Linux for more than 7 years. I used Gentoo until early 2008, and I learned a great deal about Linux in the process. I settled on Arch more than 1 year ago, nearly 1 and half :) Moving to Arch was easy for me, because of my years of experience with Gentoo. I was very attracted by the lack of dominance of money and business world and by the warm and friendly community. I have got some experience in Assembly, C, VHDL languages. I have written some open source usb kernel driver (for Passport Reader, Fingerprint Reader, etc.), and a pci kernel driver. I've worked with PIC, AVR microcontrollers, DSP processors, ARM architecture, and FPGA design. I deal with Blackfin DSP board with Embedded Linux on it recently, and I try to help to write C/ASM API for this. My username on the BBS, AUR, Wiki, Bugs, and Freenode is djszapi. Mainly my contribution to archlinux community was on this sites. See the following URL for my packages in AUR: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?SeB=mK=djszapi I think that Arch does not have a significant presence in the embedded development area of community. I wish to make Arch a viable choice for an embedded developer, by maintaining more popular embedded development related packages in [community]. My Second purpose to do the best support in Arch for vim editor. I like to work from a text console, with framebuffer, and vim :) As a TU, I will offer my knowledge and time to improve my favourite distribution and also the open source world, which gave me so much in the last few years. I would like to add these packages to the [community] repo. 1. AVR microprocessor: avarice, avra, avr-gdb, kontrollerlab, simulavr, tavrasm, uisp, gnome-avrdude 2. PIC microprocessor: picasm, picp, picprog, pikdev, piklab, pk2cmd 3. Blackfin Digital Signal Processor: blackfin-toolchain-elf 4. Tinyos: nesc, tinyos, tinyos-tools 5. ARM architecture: openocd-svn 6. Picoblaze Softcore processor: kpicosim 7. FPGA design: ghdl-bin, verilator 8. Some common, like usb-serial converter driver: libftd2xx. Feel free to ask me, if something is obscure or you would like to know more about me. Thanks to Stefan Husmann for sponsoring me.

What I find interesting is, that many of them have actually a lot of votes gathered in the very short time they are present in AUR.

Here I have to say, I also don't have a problem in contributing any portion of packages, as long as they stay clean and build fine. The task of a TU is especially maintaining and compiling packages in the community binary repository and to do administrative and security related stuff in the AUR like orphaning packages etc. A TU needs to be able to write working and trustworthy PKGBUILDs, and a TU needs some more than only basic scripting skills, because some applications need PKGBUILDs which are not quite trivial, the people - every Arch Linux user - rely on and trust the binary repositories in terms of security and stability. I don't see this with Laszlo. Particularly see the symlink thing in his PKGBUILD for the library. If he was a Gentoo user for more than a year - I was one for about 6 years -, he should know, that a library doesn't have to be symlinked to keep or get reverse dependencies compatible to updated libraries. See revdep-rebuild, which every Gentoo user knows only too well. Symlinking a library can only be a quick and dirty workaround locally on one PC until the reverse depedency is rebuilt or fixed. If such a symlink is needed by another package, than he should file a feature request to upstream. So this shows me, that Laszlo doesn't have enough scripting and packaging skills, at least not enough to be able to build and maintain packages in a semi-official binary repository, which every user trusts. You can ask Corrado/bardo in this matter, I've worked with him together on gcc-avr packages, and it wasn't quite trivial/simple to keep it in updated format. We worked on it more days. I adopted some unclean packages that lasted me so much hours to fix, because they weren't so trivial for me. E.g. packages with kde3/kde4/qt3/qt4 compatibility problem, or cross-compiling packages with cross-toolchain. Yeah I've used revdep-rebuild while sleeping or working on other machine, because it was a long operation by me ;) I also read his comment in the forums, which Xyne posted here. Well the Welcome to the forum can be seen friendly. But then he writes We must realize whether..., and just repeats, what Allan has already written. For me it sounds as he feels like already being a developer, or that he wants to presume to be one. I don't know Laszlo's intention, and I can do him wrong, but somehow it looks like craving for recognition, there are at least doubts. So I don't know, if I could trust him enough. I have to say, I share few concerns which were brought earlier by Allan and Loui. I find the recent huge increase of your activity a bit strange. I have to say, I do admire the time you put into all parts of

My gentoo system stayed on a separate harddisk, I can boot it anytime, or chroot to it, but recently I use Archlinux the most.

Specify what packages in repos or AUR need that feature. If it's used by a lot of apps and users want this, I could reconsider. I don't like gnome dependencies either. As far as I've seen in the tracker and in my previous build gconf would be that dependency. For the sake of this experiment I tried to compile it without gconf installed and it worked but mediactrl wasn't compiled then. I don't see gstreamer bringing in any gnome dependency by itself. gconf isn't the worst gnome dependency there is but oh well. The specific app I planned to package doesn't compile through with mediactrl enabled either which I reported two versions ago, so I stopped caring. I won't open that bug again now. Serious audio apps use something else anyway. Sorry for the trouble. Philipp

The additionnal depends are listed there. Done. wxgtk-media PKGBUILD exists in AUR, so other maintainers of apps that requires --enable-mediactrl can now modify their scripts. Thanks for quick response Eric. I decided to subscribe to this mailing list, as i maintain a couple of pkgbuilds since few months and wants to help if i could. -- Dany Martineau Enseignant en mathématiques En congé parental jusqu'au 25 août 2009 http://arctangente.blogspot.com CSSMI

I see many of your vim-* packages has the same voters: alephlg, Gaboo, raron, zsomi, Suicidium, rhen Let's look into their IDs.. alephlg - 16066 Gaboo - 16077 raron - 16081 zsomi - 16070 Suicidium - 16075 rhen - 16080 Does it mean these accounts were registered in the same time? If so, that looks a bit strange for me. Could you explain it? Maybe i'm wrong. Regards, Mateusz. Hello Mateusz! As I said similarly earlier: I took an advertisment in vim channel on freenode, and among work colleague, and friends, familiars. Something similar, More vim plugins are available in AUR, you can try it, if you feel so. It's true I've got so much VIM fan friends, colleague, familiars in the real life, and on the internet too. Maybe this is the reason. Are all those friends of your also running Arch Linux? The names of the voters do not change much and also voted on packages you proposed to bring into [community] repository - reaching the 10 votes limit. Did you advertised those packages too to them? Yeah, but I adopted quite a few from those packages. I see packages from those with 2/9/15/17/27/62 votes too. I didn't follow really who voted or who didn't. But I can see one thing, embedded development and related packages are needed by some people, I started to deal with those packages because of this, and because I use those ones too. I didn't take deeper researching in this matter, who voted for those package, or who didn't, because I think it's their private decision to vote for a package or not, so i didn't asked them. I keep in respect their decision. But I always vote for my packages :) Nevertheless I've disowned most of the vim related packages, because I'd like to deal with embedded development packages better. Not that keeping those vim plugins would take much work, they don't change that offen to my knowledge. Not so much work, but sometimes it can be hard. I've seen already that It changed after an updating from a simple script plugin, file to a more complicated package, with other handling, e.g. vimballed and sometimes the new update is buggy firstly. But the real reason is I'd like provide embedded development related packages more than vim packages. I won't be very active tomorrow in the daytime, but I will reply for all your questions at evening. Best Regards, Laszlo Papp Thanks for all those quick answers, that keeps the discussion swift.

Re: [aur-general] TU application: Laszlo Papp
Replying from my Nokia E71: Hi Laszlo and the crew, First of all, I don't want point you about the case of the 'phantom' votes and the 'phantom' accounts, so.. Loui can you give us more info about this? To make a real proof?, for example date and hour of the creation of the account, last ip who accesed these accounts, or something more powerful to make the proof if Laszlo or other person created them. If we found in that proof that Laszlo is guilty I'd like to suggest the 'ban' of his application (This seems to be a childish way to 'promove' crap to community just because the person thinks that deserve to be in community and the way was fill aur with phantoms accounts, and phantom votes), else, if Loui can't found a proof, we can start thinking in the development of more fields, routines, etc for cases like this (I'd like to help with this Loui :P). IMHO, a person who is pointed for other TUs as a 'annoying' 'obsesive' and now 'fake voter' doesn't seems good to me for be a TU. I am not TU anymore and I've be some inactive, but i'd like to express my opinion, this application shouldn't go more far, but.. there is a votation process, I just will wait for the results. Good 'luck' anyway A. -- Angel Velásquez angvp @ irc.freenode.net Linux Counter: #359909
