[aur-general] qt4 replaces qt
Hi all, a new qt4 package has hit [testing] and will replace the current qt package. qt4 doesn't provide 'qt'; you will need to rebuild EVERY package installed from AUR and replace qt with qt4 in the depends array. Also, I suggest to every maintainer in AUR to remove qt from the depends() array when there's qtwebkit or any package that needs qt: if you do that, this will require no rebuild as we updated every package in the official repositories to use qt4. Also, we ship the Qt 5.x series in [testing]. Qt 5.x is more modular than 4.x. This allow us to have these Qt 5.x packages: * qt5-base * qt5-declarative * qt5-graphicaleffects * qt5-imageformats * qt5-jsbackend * qt5-multimedia * qt5-quick1 * qt5-script * qt5-svg * qt5-tools * qt5-translations * qt5-webkit * qt5-xmlpatterns Generally you only need qt5-base. But, if you are a Qt developer or you want a full installation you can install the whole 'qt' group. When you install both qt5-base and qt4, qmake will refers to the 5.x version. To 'force' Qt 4.x, you can use the qmake4 symlink. There's also moc-qt4, uic- qt4 and rcc-qt4. We provide these symlinks as they are used by cmake and by the configure scripts to locate qt4. -- Andrea Arch Linux Developer

[aur-general] Some remove requests
Hello, here there are some packages that should be removed: · gclient-svn[1]: Superseded by depot_tools-svn · gstreamer0.10-pitfdll[2]: Outdated and death project, fails installing. · opera-beta[3]: The package is orphaned and outdated, and their contributor (ruario) has another package who seperseds it (opera-next) · gerix-wifi-cracker-ng[4]: Orphaned, fails compiling and looks like is a death project aswell... · phctool-svn[5]: Years aoutdated. Doesn't work because it seems to be an abandoned personal project · gnome-pulse-applet[6]: Superseded by gnome native Advanced volume mixer and death since 2010 · virtualbox-beta-bin[7]: Nowadays there are not virtualbox betas. The last stable virtualbox is 4.2.8 and last beta was for 4.2 · cups-usblp[8]: Out of date and superseded by common cups in extra repository · gnome-shell-extension-noa11y[9]: Out of date, and the official gnome extensions page got one of those (superseded) [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gclient-svn/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gstreamer0.10-pitfdll [3] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/opera-beta [4] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gerix-wifi-cracker-ng [5] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/phctool-svn [6] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gnome-pulse-applet [7] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/virtualbox-beta-bin [8] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/cups-usblp [9] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gnome-shell-extension-noa11y/ Thanks, I'll keep watching XD signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

[aur-general] AUR Maintenance
Some of you may remember the lost comments fiasco of 2010. When this happened, a file on sigurd was created aur-20100205-1859.sql.fixed2.xz with AUR comments that had been lost. I volunteered (on the mailin list) to help manually restore them to the AUR [1]. Since I did not know SQL or how to speak the languages that were causing problems, my offer was laughed off as enthusiasm that wasn't helpful. This hasn't really changed. My help at this point would still probably be a bit useless. But that doesn't mean I don't still think about one day having a go at it. The zipped sql file was on sigurd as recently as a few months ago. But since the move to nymeria, I can't find it anymore. I was stupid enough not to make a backup so can someone with access please put this on nymeria? Thank-you.
