Re: [aur-general] Absence of kdelibs3
I'm testing the building for various packages. This is a partial list of packages that should be deleted. I didn't include any packages that are maintained by trusted users. Kicker packages = Kicker was a part of the KDE 3 desktop, but is not present in any KDE 4. All packages that use Kicker are therefore useless. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/diskmonitor/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/kooldock-svn/ Won't compile = These packages will never compile unless development magically springs to life upstream (it won't). https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/kalsamix https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/kaudiocreator3/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/k3bmonkeyaudioplugin/ Only works with an old version of k3b https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/kapitalist/ Needs modification to the upstream source to work -Aaron DeVore On Sat, Aug 2, 2014 at 11:45 AM, Jelle van der Waa je...@vdwaa.nl wrote: On 08/02/14 at 10:23am, Aaron DeVore wrote: I could take a crack at maintaining kdelibs3.

[aur-general] Absence of kdelibs3
I noticed that kdelibs3, which was demoted from the main repositories in May, is not present in the AUR. Is this by design or a mistake? There are many packages in the AUR that depend on kdelibs3, so not having it available breaks all of those packages. Whether some of those packages should be deleted is another story, though. -Aaron DeVore
[aur-general] Multiple package merges/moves
I have several misnamed Python 2 packages that I need merged or renamed: parallel-python: The project is named Parallel Python, so perhaps it should be python2-parallel-python? python-couchdb: Move to python2-couchdb python-couchdbkit: merge with python2-couchdbkit python-couchdb: move to python2-couchdb python-geniusql-svn: move to python2-geniusql-svn python-gsl:move to python2-gsl python-nevow: move to python2-nevow Do I need to make any changes to the PKGBUILD besides just renaming pkgname?
Re: [aur-general] Plan of moving python(2)-pandas to community
Andrzej, Since you're now maintaining xlrd and xlwt, could you also grab my python2-xlutils package? python-xlutils should be deleted in the process. I had left it as a placeholder. -Aaron DeVore On Sun, Jun 1, 2014 at 7:18 AM, Andrzej Giniewicz ggi...@gmail.com wrote: Hi all, just wanted to let you know about my plan of moving Pandas to community, so they don't interfere with plans of other TUs or AUR maintainers. Pandas is popular package (approximately 50 votes for bot python 2 and python 3 version in AUR[1,2]) and is one of the basic packages for doing science in Python, it is vital part of so called SciPy Stack[3] (and actually last missing piece). I planned to do it lot earlier, but there were some remaining issues that were fixed by 0.14.0 release - most important finally official support for current release of Python 3.4[4]. Pandas has very few dependencies, but a lot of recommended and optional dependencies, all of which provide important pieces of functionality, to make the experience complete. That's why I will move in and maintain all it's dependencies as well, unless someone has anything against it. This includes: - bottleneck library [5,6] - statsmodels library [7,8] - patsy library [9,10] - set of libraries to read and write Excel files [11,12,13,14,15,16] The order of moving those packages will be following: - bottleneck because it is recommended dependency providing speed to lots of operations - libraries to deal with Excel, because it improves usability of library and is direct dependency - Pandas itself - Patsy, because it is dependency of statsmodels - statsmodels, because pandas is its dependency, and it is optdependency of pandas - so it comes last - Pandas again, but with statsmodels as optdepends and tests enabled I hope to push one update every few days. I will let the related packages settle in community for day or two and then push next ones, staring on 4'th June, hopefully finish with those before 17'th - it takes some time, mostly due to limited time I can spend of this particular move.

[aur-general] Migrating name for python-{xlrd, xlwt, xlutils} before Py3 release
I maintain the packages for xlrd, xlwt, and xlutils in the AUR. The project behind them, python-excel, will probably release a Python 3 version within the next few months. Currently, each product has two packages with the prefix python-* and python2-*. Both point to a Python 2 version, but I will eventually move the python- packages to use Python 3. The python-* packages have a description that adds on something like (Use python2-xlrd!). Should I have the python-* packages deleted, then recreate them when a Python 3 version is released?
