[aur-general] Watch list

2009-04-11 Thread Ashok Gautham
Can AUR have something like a watch list. It would be useful. I find that at times I forget that I flagged a package out of date. After a long time, I finally remember it and then go and check it out again. Instead, if we had something like "My watchlist", I would know which packages I am watchin

[aur-general] Adoptable AUR packages

2009-04-06 Thread Ashok Gautham
There are three kinds of orphans in AUR at the moment. 1) A sea of packages that have either become obselete or have been added in some other package. ( Like dolphin ). 2) The others are ruby/python/perl libraries. The problem with these is that installing them using pyPI or gems is quite simple

[aur-general] Please Delete These Packages

2008-09-15 Thread Ashok Gautham
I created the following 2 packages in aur without checking if they existed in extra. I am sorry about that. I disowned them. So can some TU delete it for me? http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=19968 http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=15334 Thanks in advance, ScriptDevil

2008-07-26 Thread Ashok Gautham
I am the maintainer of the haddock package on aur. I was planning to update it in some time... by then I got a message from arch-haskell requesting a change in maintainership. Should I orphan it so that you can take over it?
