Kpunkt.

Just so the TUs don't have repeat themselves:

To vote, post the package names, and a brief explanation of why they should be included

Coreutils doesn't need votes.

That was only a shameless plug...not a vote

apvlv has been in [community] for a while.
http://www.archlinux.org/packages/?q=apvlv
And maintained by yours truly.

Ranger is a -git package if I'm not mistaken, and those are a huge pain to manage.

anonymous_user · 2010-12-22 21:22:22

@itsbrad212 - Ranger does have a stable (non-git) version in the AUR. You can also find the latest stable version on the website:

http://nongnu.org/ranger/

tp_smapi : The thinkpad HDAPS driver. The broken version is already in kernel anyways
hwinfo : I think too many people might be missing out on using this jsut because it is not in the repos
netperf : This oft used perf measurement utility comes pre-installed with a lot of distros, while its not even in the arch repos.
openssh-hpn : ssh + high performance patches. The difference is easily noticeable
phatch : gui alternative to imagemagick. Very easy to use, and imagemagick can be dauntin to novice users.

And finally
boxee : Because I do package maintainance for this, and its a PITA getting it to compile fora lot of aur users. XBMC is aleady in community.

Touché. Thanks, I'll take a look. (once the AUR is back up [1])

mpop - the POP3 sibling of msmtp, which is in extra. It's a nice little mail retriever that is easy to configure and it fits in very nicely with msmtp and mutt.

anonymous_user · 2010-12-23 19:12:38

Puddletag - Its like mp3tag for Linux. I much prefer its interface over that of EasyTag.

pystopwatch - A light-weight timer/stopwatch application. Few dependencies and it simply works.

that was fast! so here I go:

:: pacman-color
-> because happy colors make a happy world, word.

:: urxvt-url-select
-> cause clicking to open something that needs more clicks is already annoying. Plus this is the version that actually works.

:: smem-hg
-> cause it's the best memory tool I've seen. Real memory statistics, accurate numbers, memory state snapshots, all you can think, it can do it (okay, most ).

:: dd_rescue
-> cause who's gonna save you ? testdisk is already in extra. Those two together are all you need for recovery (on software level). Figure out the hardware problems and you can start a recovery company with that.

:: lsyncd
-> cause it's the only live daemon I've met that uses rsync underneath to sync/mirror locally and remotely files based on inode activity. yeah!

and ofcourse the most awesome vim-plugins that are still in aur. Those dont really need maintainance.
:: vim-snipmate
-> autofill snippets right there, just hit <tab>, KABOOM!
:: vim-gist
-> easily paste and grab and delete and update public and private gists@github
:: vim-nerdtree
-> cause if you want to be a nerd you need a pair of glasses and a tree.

==> cookies!

sl makes a train (steam locomotive) run across your terminal when you type "sl" instead of "ls", brightens my day.

The *real* ddrescue is already in [extra] and better in most (if not all) cases than dd_rescue.
You know, Its the app Debian calls gddrescue.

I would vote for deadbeef and simple-scan. Especially the second. The default sane frontends are not that simple..

I also have had this installed for a while, but there is no license, if you can ever get the original maintainer to post a license for it, I would get it included immediately

Great, thanks TU's!

Inxsible · 2010-12-26 08:49:39

What's this pending reply from maintainer??

I thought the TUs just grab and run !

Atleast that's what happened with one of the packages that I was maintaining in AUR. Not that I care.....

falconindy · 2010-12-26 14:39:38

In both cases, the maintainer of the package is the upstream maintainer (or associated with upstream), so we're asking permission first.

Stefan Husmann · 2010-12-26 19:03:26

I plan to move geda-gaf, pcb and gerbv to [community].

PIMPinator · 2010-12-27 06:29:57

Are all these packages now in [community] or are they moving over time? clyde can't find vim-nerdtree at all.

No. TUs doing that must be bent. The minimum is to just post a simple FYI notification. In the event you're dealing with a popular package you should wait out for some response.
