[aur-general] TU resignation

2013-12-20 Thread Jonathan Conder
Hi everyone,

I've been pretty busy lately and haven't been able to find the time to fix
bugs and keep my packages up-to-date. Lately I haven't actually been using
any of the packages I maintain, so I think the time has come to pass them
on to someone with the time and motivation to maintain them. So, without
further ado, I hereby tender my resignation as a TU. I wish you all the
best and hope you continue doing the things which make Arch so great.

Best,
Jonathan

P.S. I've had trouble getting GPG and gmail to play together, so I've
attached the contents of this message and signed that instead of signing
the email itself.

[aur-general] Orphaning desmume/agg

2012-04-15 Thread Jonathan Conder
Hi all,

I have just orphaned desmume  agg, since I don't really have time to
maintain packages that I don't use. Unless someone adopts it I'll move
desmume to the AUR next week (it needs updating). However, I can't do
that with agg as it is required by gnash-common, so it'd be good if
someone could take over that one (updates for it are fairly rare).

Cheers,
Jonathan

  non-maintained mediatomb equates to a package that is no longer

  many would appreciate it continuing on in the repos.   At worst, don't

 Btw, i falsely assumed that MT was already in AUR and Jonathan planned
 to remove it from AUR. so I'm not sure what exactly he meant with
 dropping then... removing from the repo but not uploading in AUR? that
 only means someone else will create a new PKGBUILD and upload it to AUR.
 you could save that person some work :)

Sorry for the confusion. By 'drop' I meant move it from community to the AUR.

fix it myself at some later stage, but I'm really snowed under at

Interesting. Where is that set on your system?

This whole mime type thing is a bit of a mess eh?
I guess it's kind of hard to rely on non-standard mime types.
Is there some kind of auxiliary non IETF standard?

You can find the mime types that Firefox uses in:
/home/username/.mozilla/firefox/profileid/mimeTypes.rdf

Cheers
It is set in /usr/share/mime/packages/freedesktop.org.xml (belonging to 
shared-mime-info), but maybe other places too. I would imagine 
freedesktop.org would be the best candidate for an auxiliary standard. 
But maybe I should just report this as a Firefox bug, since it prompts 
me to open it with the right program, and only after it has finished 
downloading does an error occur.

I posted a message to him on the aur page for opencl-headers.

And I did fix the problem on my computer, but for users who try to install
my package they
wont be able to do so unless they manually fix opencl-headers themselves.

So any suggestions on how to fix this?

I can see a couple of possible fixes:

a) opencl-headers simply conflicts=(nvidia-utils) and then people install it
with -f

b) opencl-headers removes cl.h cl_gl.h and cl_platform.h since they are
provided by nvidia-utils

c) nvidia-utils removes cl.h cl_gl.h and cl_platform.h since they are
provided by opencl-headers

d) ???

Any other suggestions?



Just wait for the next driver release, which removes these headers:

Thanks :)

 That said, I am a little bothered by the amount of packages you do maintain
 currently in the aur which is only 6.
 
 Since you do have such a small amount of packages, I will ask, what are your
 goals after you become a TU?

Fair enough. The main reason I maintain only those packages is that
everything else I use from the AUR already has a maintainer. Becoming a
TU would presumably allow me to adopt other people's packages and put
them in community. Also, MythTV + plugins makes up 12 packages already.

Anyway, I just saw your second email. With that vague list I wasn't
talking about the AUR, but rather packages that could be adopted within
the repos, like MythTV is at the moment. I'm not really sure what those
are exactly (or if there are any), hence the lack of specifics.

Here is a longer list of AUR packages that I could possibly pick up:

bin32-skype (if policy allows)
desmume
fbsplash
fbsplash-extras
fbsplash-theme-arch-black
fbsplash-themes-arch-banner
gap-math*
gnome-colors-icon-theme
gnome-packagekit
gummi
lightning
mediatomb[-svn]
myththeme-blue-abstract*
nautilus-makepkg*
nspluginwrapper-debian
nspluginwrapper-flash
packagekit
pacman-glib
python-poppler

I've starred the ones that aren't that popular, but are interesting to
me personally. Also, I'm not ready to release PackageKit-related stuff
quite yet, but I would hope that it would be reasonably popular when I
make a proper announcement.

[aur-general] Trusted User Application

2010-08-16 Thread Jonathan Conder
Hi everyone,

I would like to apply to become a Trusted User. Ionuț/wonder has kindly
agreed to sponsor me. Anyway, here is some info about me:

Who am I?
My name is Jonathan Conder, from Auckland, New Zealand. I'm currently a
full-time student studying Maths and Computer Science (among other
things). I've been using Linux since early 2008, after a bit of
distro-hopping I moved to Arch, and was very impressed by the wiki and
the degree of control I gained over my system. My forum username is
PirateJonno, maybe some of you have seen me around.

Why do I want to be a TU?
Well, Arch has been my distribution of choice for several years now, and
I would like to give something back to the community. I hope that this
position will enable me to move some popular AUR packages to community.

What packages am I interested in?
Firstly, I would like to adopt MythTV (and related packages) since they
seem to have no current maintainer. This would involve moving them out
of extra and into community of course. If the need arises, I would also
be willing to maintain anything I have installed, which boils down to a
lot of GNOME desktop applications, a few games, and various multimedia
programs or libraries.

Other packages I would be interested in bringing to community are:
fbsplash (along with a few themes)
gnome-colors-icon-theme
mediatomb (possibly with a few patches)
nspluginwrapper-flash (if this presents no ideological issues)

Also, I have a few projects of my own that could be added in future,
namely PackageKit and nautilus-makepkg. See my AUR/GitHub pages at:
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?SeB=mK=PirateJonno
http://github.com/PirateJonno

Can I do the job?
I think I have enough experience packaging for Arch to become a TU.
Although I don't maintain many AUR packages, I would do if the need
arose. I often modify others' packages to change the configure flags,
add a custom patch, enable debugging symbols, etc. My work on PackageKit
has made me very familiar with the packaging system itself. I am also a
reasonably experienced C/C++ programmer, which means I am usually pretty
good at tracking down bugs. My ability to find bugs in unfamiliar code
is also improving. For example, here are some I have reported/fixed:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/buglist.cgi?email1=j%
40skurvy.no-ip.orgemailtype1=exactemailreporter1=1
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/buglist.cgi?email1=j%
40skurvy.no-ip.orgemailtype1=exactemailreporter1=1
http://bugs.archlinux.org/index.php?status[]opened=PirateJonno

Thanks for your time,
Jonathan
