In case someone wants to build gold from CVS again.

[aur-general] 2 packages for Lyx 2.0

[Bernardo Barros]

Lyx beta3 has two packages in AUR:

http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=37964
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=45798

no idea which did it better. :-)

[aur-general] Add pyopencl to [community]

[Stéphane Gaudreault]

Dear Tus,

I would like to add pyopencl [1] to [community]. I maintain this package in 
AUR and it has 14 votes. 

Pyopencl depends, among other, on libcl (OpenCL library, provided by either 
nvidia-utils or amdstream [2]) and a package that provides OpenCL C/C++ 
headers.

Here is my plan :

* Add pyopencl to [community] (I will use a better name, something like 
python2-pyopencl)
* Tidy up and add opencl-headers [3] (66 votes) to [community] [4].
* Leave amdstream in AUR

The opencl-headers package provides headers from the Khronos group. It could 
also be possible to use a different source to get *exactly* the same headers 
(Nvidia for example).

Any comment or objections in adding these packages to the [community] 
repository?

I take his package.

python2-opencl sounds better IMHO.

[aur-general] Unactive user

[François Boulogne]

Hello,

I found that the package [1] is out of date and in the mean time, I
realized the maintainer is not really active. I sent him an email
several days ago, no answer.

I think some packages should be removed, especially beta ones, or
packages like [2] (the title does not respect the aur policy)

Another point: [3] is marked as a dev package (which is the last stable
version) and [4] is titled as a stable version which is out of date.

Well, many things should be cleaned up.

Cheers.

Don't you know that [community] is maintained only by TU's? :) Do your best
in keeping packages clear in AUR or supply for a TU :)

He's a dev. Dev can have access to community repo if they wish.

I don't think that the version 2.91.2 of Gwibber is a stable release.
Gwibber usually follows GNOME's, Ubuntu's release circle, which means
it's a development release for the upcoming 3.0 stable branch.

It's all good but one thing: there either needs to be a provision for
pyopencl or inclusion of the upstream module name in the description,
so that the package naming doesn't hamper searches and common
knowledge (i.e people would know 'pyopencl' only). I see the same
issue with pyqt. Didn't we already have some discussion about the
module naming convention during the major python transition?

[aur-general] lib32-portaudio forgotten... :'(

[rafael ff1]

Hi all,

I need *lib32-portaudio* package complying to Multilib standards in order to
install PCSX2 emulator (ex: *pcsx2-svn*), but  the maintainer seems to be
missing, busy, in outer space or whatever and doesn't reply requests in
comments or emails. And I already have the PKGBUILD ready for it!

So, can someone please make this package *orphan* so I can adopt it and fix
the PKGBUILD to Multilib standards?

Thanks in advance!

Clearly, the move to devtools has decoupled the binary repository from
the AUR web, but I don't think it has decoupled the repository from
its purpose.
