Hello.
I'd like to get into Python, but I lack ideas of things worth coding.
I thought it'll be a nice idea to learn while contributing to Arch along the way.
So, basically, is there anything which you feel missing, or some utility that would be nice to have and will make your job easier?
If so, bring it on.
This is basically a question for the Arch developers, but if you users have any worthwhile needs and ideas, I'm all up for it.
Thanks.

I would like a simple program that scans the forums for configs, sorts them by wm, app. etc. and stores in them neatly and organized in a tar.gz file. Hey, maybe I could do that myself.. hmm..
I guess this does not help Arch development at all, sorry.

I'd like a function that checks my package versions in aur, and gives me feedback when/if they are marked as outdated or if they got a new comment, and a function that tells me about new package upgrades from a list that i can specify myself.

netcfg2-menu would be nice. It should be an interface to netcfg2, which is the new-and-upcoming networkmanager for Arch
Zl.

Don't you already have AUR email notifications for that?

/usr/bin/netcfg-menu is owned by netcfg 2.0.6-1

adopt, ressurect, and improve srcpac.

Not to be picky, but that's in bash
Maybe I should first convert it to Python.
But, correct me if I'm wrong, doesn't yaourt already contain srcpac's features?

Nice idea!
I wish I had something to do in order to both improve my python skills and contribute to Arch...
I don't have a lot of time, but if you find something to do don't hesitate to contact me.

hmmm... i dont think anyone's written a client for the aur's json interface yet.
The suggestion box only accepts patches.

How does it work?

If you can provide some details (I've never heard of it before), that would be really nice.

it was new in the last aur update. it's pretty self-documenting for now, since the interface is pretty minimal, but it has lots of room for expansion. The url is http://aur.archlinux.org/rpc.php , and it's worth mentioning that it's somewhat broken at the moment, and I know about it and there's a patch in the testing tree already, so it'll be working soonish.

Is it really? Its Xentac's child and he codes python as a rule...
If you want to code python, adopt and ressurect Pallavi, I don't have time for it lately. :-(

Partly, yeah, but it would be nice to have a watch list, I know i could use the comment notification, but that's only for comments:) Right..?

Jeez I'm missing a lot on the forums. Boy I'm glad for the Arch Linux Newsletter.
Anyways.
I could always use help in cleaning up and adding features to aurbuild which is written in Python.
There's a hefty TODO list. Other than that python bindings for libalpm are greatly desired by a few projects right now including aurbuild. I just have too much to do right now, but I will pick it up later if no one has gotten to it yet.
Anyways you can learn more about aurbuild at http://aurbuild.berlios.de
One libalpm project that I found had made good progress is at http://developer.berlios.de/projects/pyalpm
I was thinking of continuing that one.
Oh and there's also pacbuild, and repoman. Which are two official Arch Linux projects that seem to currently be in limbo.
pacbuild: http://projects.archlinux.org/git/?p=pa … ;a=summary
repoman: https://subzero.elys.com/svn/repoman/
repoman ML: http://archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/repoman
Cheers!

http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=46201 was first, but it's implemented also in my project http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=46342
(btw: there should be more options for it)

I think most of that test code still works, but I haven't tested it since then.
However, it gives you an idea of how it works.
Maybe I should get off my arse and writeup a wiki page on how the api works.
*edit*
well, I just tested the python test app, and it still seems to work. I didn't test the javascript version.
*edit again*
I just created this. Maybe some will find it useful.
