Le Sun, 31 Jan 2010 18:41:34 -0500, Jim Pryor lists+aur-gene...@jimpryor.net a écrit : I'm closely following Lua, and can help out with the luadoc, luafilesystem, and lualogging. luajit doesn't yet work on x86_64, which my machines are, and I haven't played with it at all, so I won't say I can help with that. Now I'm not a TU, and don't really have the time to take on TU responsibilities even if you trusted me! I'm just offering to help out, in case some TU is willing to adopt them but hesitates on account of lack of experience with Lua. Or if these were to go to AUR, then I could take them. The four Lua packages in AUR are graphics/plotting packages I don't use. Hopefully there's someone else who does. But if not, I could be a foster parent until someone comes along. I am also a Lua user, and as I was reading posts by the Arch Haskell team I thought maybe a project like that should be created for Lua. I would love to see a better support for it in Arch, and especially to see all of Kepler packaged (including Xavante). If other users on this list are interrested, please email me and maybe we could set up a user repository for lua modules... -- catwell

[aur-general] Warning 2/2: removing kde-unstable; KDE 4.4 in testing
Hi DEVs and TUs, I am about to move the first wave of KDE 4.4 RC3 packages into testing. These will be x86_64 at first; i686 packages might follow later this evening. There won't be any l10n packages. (they are not needed for testing and rebuild and we'll save disk space and bandwidth this way) The same Information about kde-unstable now apply to testing: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DeveloperWiki:KDE#Users Note that the kde- unstable repository will be removed soon. If you update you have to use the following commands as pacman is not able to resolve the dependencies otherwise: % pacman -Sy --asdeps qt % pacman -Su All developers and TUs should check their Qt or KDE related packages. Even if they still work you might want to adjust the dependencies. There are some like phonon etc. which are no longer covered by Qt. In general you want at least depend on kdebase-runtime for most apps. (use namcap but don't trust it ;-)) Greetings, Pierre PS: I have problems with akonadi and mysql 5.1.43. Downgrading to mysql 5.1.42 solves the problem. Can anybody confirm this issue? (test with akonadictl start) -- Pierre Schmitz, https://users.archlinux.de/~pierre

Yeah, I was thinking of setting up an automated luarocks2arch system, like Haskell's cabal2arch. I did something like this for most of the Chicken Scheme modules (they're all in AUR, the automatic PKGBUILD-generater works but it's fragile and I haven't distributed it). I just haven't had time to make any progress on this for lua. But I'm willing to participate when I can. -- Jim Pryor prof...@jimpryor.net

[aur-general] [UPDATE] Perl packing guidelines discussion
I'm still fairly new to Arch and various package building strategies but the perl stuff looks interesting. I would like to build some perl packages in the near future so hope to keep up with the pacpan developments. I like what CPAN does but one thing I don't like about using the CPAN module to build/install modules is there seems to be no way to quickly uninstall or remove a package that is no longer needed. That's where the Arch packager comes in really handy. I'm not much a forum man so hopefuly some of the traffic may find its way to over here. I've released the new version of pacpan which provides what I think are some powerfull tools for CPAN packagers on Arch. Please see the following: Pacpan info page: http://xyne.archlinux.ca/info/pacpan Perl Packaging Guidelines discussion thread http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=89752 Perl Packaging Guidelines ticket on the bug tracker http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/18113 You may also want to take a look at bauerbill, which has taken over and improved on pacpan's old ability to install packages from CPAN with full dependency resolution: http://xyne.archlinux.ca/info/bauerbill

The package is going through some radical growth right now, from different directions. I don't expect to see a stable LuaJIT 2.0 release, or a release for x86_64, or a release that tracks Lua 5.2 (now in development releases) anytime very soon.
