[aur-general] Putting bumblebee and friends into [community]

2013-03-02 Thread Sven-Hendrik Haase
Hi,

I'd like to gather some opinions on this. I was thinking about putting
bumblebee, primus and bbswitch into [community] as it doesn't look as
though nvidia is going to fix this properly in their driver any time
soon. I know about the GPL symbol drama and the supposed fix that is in
mainline now but how long until nvidia releases a working driver that
makes use of all that?

Until then, I think bumblebee is an ok fix. For laptops with optimus,
bumblebee is pretty much a necessity if you want any kind of battery
life and acceptable sound levels. I have a laptop with optimus and use
bumblebee all the time and I think it would make sense to have it in
[community]. The sad fact is that bumblebee is currently the only
working solution for optimus.

Normally I wouldn't ask the mailing list for something mundane as moving
packages but as bbswitch is a kernel module and as bumblebee is not very
highly regarded as a good solution even by its developers, I thought
it'd make sense to ask here first before people got angry.

Hi,

I haven't followed the controversy surrounding bumblebee, but if it's
a package that's needed to make your system work as it should, I think
it weighs towards moving it up from AUR.

[aur-general] Substitute nss_ldap/pam_ldap from [Extra] to nss-pam-ldapd

2013-03-02 Thread Thiago Kenji Okada
nss-pam-ldapd is actively maintained while nss_ldap/pam_ldap are not
updated in a while. nss-pam-ldapd is more robust too (I had a similar
problem like https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/33672 that didn't occur with
nss-pam-ldapd; and according to that bug report actually a
nss_ldap/pam_ldap setup is simply broken). According to the author (
http://arthurdejong.org/nss-pam-ldapd/) nss-pam-ldapd is faster and more
easily to debug (I didn't measured performance, but indeed nss-pam-ldapd is
easier to debug, since it's service nslcd have a nice log output). I think
Fedora and Mageia uses nss-pam-ldapd for default instead nss_ldap/pam_ldap.
Even our Wiki (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/OpenLDAP_Authentication)
is recommending nss-pam-ldapd instead of nss_ldap/pam_ldap (actually, if
you follow our Wiki using nss_ldap/pam_ldap you will have a non-working
LDAP setup).

So I suggest to drop nss_ldap/pam_ldap to AUR and put nss-pam-ldapd on
[Extra] repository.

I expect to eventually get around to adding support for TU actions

Despite the name, don't expect it to do much without any arguments... that may
be a feature in version 2040 once we get open source drivers for neural
interfaces and well-documented Python bindings.

 Hi,
 
 I'd like to gather some opinions on this. I was thinking about
 putting bumblebee, primus and bbswitch into [community] as it
 doesn't look as though nvidia is going to fix this properly in
 their driver any time soon. I know about the GPL symbol drama and
 the supposed fix that is in mainline now but how long until nvidia
 releases a working driver that makes use of all that?
 
 Until then, I think bumblebee is an ok fix. For laptops with
 optimus, bumblebee is pretty much a necessity if you want any kind
 of battery life and acceptable sound levels. I have a laptop with
 optimus and use bumblebee all the time and I think it would make
 sense to have it in [community]. The sad fact is that bumblebee is
 currently the only working solution for optimus.

I think you should move too many of the dependencies from aur to
multilib too..

 
 Normally I wouldn't ask the mailing list for something mundane as
 moving packages but as bbswitch is a kernel module and as bumblebee
 is not very highly regarded as a good solution even by its
 developers, I thought it'd make sense to ask here first before
 people got angry.
 

+1 I suggested you to move this to community, i've prepared some of
the packages that are on aur, i did plans to move this, but then on
the way i am not using much bumblebee now .. so count with my support
/ help co-maintaining this.

[aur-general] Remove request for stepmania-svn

2013-03-02 Thread Michael Kogan
Hello, list!

I'm the current maintainer of stepmania-svn (
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/stepmania-svn/) which builds the SVN
version of the old Stepmania 4 branch. Since there already exist packages
for the HG version of Stepmania 5 (
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/sm-ssc-hg) as well as for the last beta
version of Stepmania 4 (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/stepmania-beta),
I think, there is no need for stepmania-svn any more. Also, currently the
package doesn't build due to a compilation error of an old ffmpeg revision
which is so old that I wouldn't really want to investigate the issue.

Thanks,
Michael
