[aur-general] TU resignation
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. -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 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.

[aur-general] Orphaning desmume/agg
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

I use mediatomb in my home and would hate to see a loss of the package. In aur, most are aware that, You get what you get and you don't throw a fit. 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 :) Dieter Sorry for the confusion.

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. Jonathan

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) ???

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. Jonathan P.S. Thanks Allan
[aur-general] Trusted User Application
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
