[aur-general] Staff : can you clean this AUR page's comments ?
Hello ! New to this list but not to AUR, I subscribed to ask for someone to delete some comments on one of my AUR packages : http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=30159 rosedubai seems to be a windows xp (bleeh) user, who apparently looks for help for wifi on windows at the wrong place. (AUR page for an ethernet driver...) I explained him that patiently by mail. Can someone delete his comments ? -- Calimero

It adds support to rotate the touchpad axis, so you can use it i.e. with xrandr --orientation. I fixed the description. why not using a name following the xf86-input naming scheme? That would be nice indeed, I didn't realize when I first uploaded the package. Should I upload the a package named xf86-input-synaptics-xrandr? Regards, Ismael
[aur-general] snort and zim orphans and out-of-date
Is some DEV or TU interested in maintain snort or zim? or can I move them to AUR? zim pkgbuild must be rewrite, the upstream project uses python now. Cheers -- Andrea `bash` Scarpino Arch Linux Developer

Thanks for answer [image: smile] personally i don't think is a good idea to maintain this in community. why should kernel26-bfs be more supported than other popular kernel patches. what about external modules, who should maintain them. -- Ionut

I think that it will be not much more supported when it will be in community and I think it can be in community becouse it have much more votes than community requests and many archlinux peapole use it as they main kernel. What about external modules? I think that you by this understand nvidia driver right? I was thinking about this and this package can be maintrained by the same TU. Thanks.
