 I don't think any package should be removed if it works/is maintained.
 And if somebody wants to maintain an old unsupported package it's
 their fight.



Re: [aur-general] Absence of kdelibs3

2014-08-02 Thread Aaron DeVore
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

 You can find it in the online git repo, here is the commit which removes
 the package.

 https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/commit/?id=1b850099e914f62c5844e303c1dfa1d298998b05

 But these packages should imo have landed in the AUR.

[aur-general] Absence of kdelibs3

2014-08-01 Thread Aaron DeVore
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.

[aur-general] Multiple package merges/moves

2014-06-21 Thread Aaron DeVore
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

2014-06-08 Thread Aaron DeVore
 Andrzej,
  Since you're now maintaining xlrd and xlwt, could you also grab my

had left it as a placeholder.

 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.

 Cheers,
 Andrzej.

[aur-general] Migrating name for python-{xlrd, xlwt, xlutils} before Py3 release

2012-11-10 Thread Aaron DeVore
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?
