I work on FOSS both for my full-time job and in my free time, with my focus being on the LXQt project of which I am one of the lead developers (http://lxqt.org/). All my contributions are available on Github: https://github.com/jleclanche My main goal is of course to bring LXQt to [community]. I emailed Antonio Rojas about that a while back as he was also interested in this. I'm on my third year with Arch Linux and absolutely love the distro; been hanging around IRC and the community as jleclanche. This is my package list: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/?SeB=mK=jleclanche I have started the release process to get LXQt 0.9 out some time in January. I would really like to see it become available on Arch Linux at the same time =) Other than LXQt, I also maintain ruby-sass and its dependencies, which I would also like to move to [community] - although it is something I'd like to bring up with Anatol Pomozov first as he maintains a large array of Ruby packages himself already. I also saw that libfm and libfm-extra are currently orphaned there and since they are LXDE projects, I will happily pick them up. If any of you are going to FOSDEM, I will also be able to meet you there - I'd love to get to know the Arch community in person as well. Thanks for the great distribution and happy 2015 to everyone. I've kept this as terse as possible but I'll be happy to answer any questions. Hi Jerome, great to see you applying!

[aur-general] Plasma 5 official packages
The day has come: Plasma 5 packages are now in [extra]! KDE 4 users that don't plan to switch to Plasma 5 can stop reading here. This doesn't affect you in any way! The packages are /usr prefixed and the only two conflicts are: kdebase- workspace and kdebase-kdepasswd. In truth, there are also baloo and kactivities4, but they can be safetly replaced with the -framework version. If you install Plasma 5 you will not be able to switch from KDE 4 to Plasma 5 just by logging out from your X session, but the good news is that you can run any KDE 4 application over Plasma 5 because there are very few (or almost none) that really require kdebase-workspace to work. I also invite you to report on your bug tracker any package that has a dependence on kdebase-workspace but that can also run without it (e.g. kdevelop - which is fixed now). To install Plasma 5 you can use the old plasma-next group that I made months ago with just kwin and oxygen. This group will be probably renamed to plasma5 or just as 'plasma' with the next Plasma update (sorry for the wordgame :). If you install the packages from AUR, I suggest you to remove it completely first and then install the packages from [extra] this way: # pacman -Rscn plasma-desktop # pacman -S plasma-next *Note*: Plasma 5 doesn't ship a DM anymore and since KDM is included into kdebase-workspace this means that you also have to choice a new DM. I personally suggest sddm which is also in [community] now. And now just few words more: I've no more time as I had before to contribute to Arch, and I want to let you know that all this work has been possible mainly thanks to a member of our community: Antonio Rojas (arojas). This man has reported me a lot of suggestions on how to handle the conflicts between KDE 4 and KDE Frameworks/Plasma 5 and he has made the skeleton for the official packages. Antonio, a very huge thank you from me!!! -- Andrea Arch Linux Developer
[aur-general] Moving KDE 4 translations
Hi all, KDE Frameworks 5 applications will install their translations into /usr/share/locale/$LANG the same way KDE 4 applications do. Then they will conflict. See also FS#41684 for more info. To fix this, we moved KDE 4 translations into /usr/share/locale/kde4/$LANG. This has been simple as rebuilding kdelibs and ALL applications using it. We rebuilt every package[1] which depend on kdelibs (directly or not), but someone could be missing. Please report any official package with a broken locale. You will need to rebuild your AUR packages that use kdelibs. Packages are in [testing] right now. Cheers [1] https://www.archlinux.org/todo/moving-kde4-translations/ -- Andrea Arch Linux Developer

[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] KDE Package Guidelines (aka AUR plasmoids mess)
Hi all, I just received a mail where the user ask me to rename a plasmoid package in AUR. He suggests to rename it as kdeplasma-addons-applets-$plasmoidname, but this is obviously wrong as kdeplasma-addons is the name of the *official* KDE package. If we would rename all our packages in that way, will be really difficult, for both users and maintainer, to understand if we are talking about an official kde plasmoid or not. So, I thought about two naming conventions: * kdeplasma-applets-$plasmoidname * plasma-applets-$plasmoidname Sincerely, I prefer the first one as all kde packages start with the kde prefix. I also wrote a simple KDE package guidelines page[1] taking this opportunity. Any suggestion is much appreciated. The absence of this naming convention created many duplicates on AUR, so let's start the AUR plasmoid cleanup! Thanks! [1] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/KDE_Package_Guidelines -- Andrea

[aur-general] Qt 4.8 hits [testing] + qtwebkit package
Hi all, the last Qt major release is in [testing]. For the upstream changes see the Qt ChangeLog[1]. About the Arch Linux packaging, the libqtwebkit library isn't shipped with the qt package anymore, but with the new qtwebkit package. We rebuilt our packages in [extra] and [community] to add this new dependence. If you find a package which links to libQtWebKit.so.4, but doesn't depend on qtwebkit, please report us the bug using bugs.archlinux.org. AUR maintainers are encouraged to check their packages to see if they links to libQtWebKit.so.4, then add the new dependence. [1] http://labs.qt.nokia.com/2011/12/15/qt-4-8-0-released/ -- Andrea
