[Clc-contrib] request for contrib inclusion
by Mikhail Kolesnik 25 Apr '06

25 Apr '06

Hi. I guess, am not the only CRUX user, who just use official core+opt, contrib, [gnome|kde] and his own ports. However not all common apps are there. If everyone'll start their own (probably - mostly duplicate) repos... And this is what is happening =( Here is a list of ports I want to start with, and to add to contrib at the moment: iproute2 synaptics (Synaptics/Alps touchpad driver for x11) fsam7440-console (useful only for one laptop model) ckermit (classic serial communication software) I am not asking for pcmciautils as it will appear in opt some day. It would be nice if someone will examine ports listed above. Any suggestions and remarks are always welcome. The primary source is: http://www.openbunker.org/crux/ports/mike/ (http://crux.nu/portdb/index.php?command=viewrepo&name=mike) But note, there are ports which will never go in contrib because they are private and... well, some of them are really ugly. I've removed some duplicates as well. I know it might be too early to contribute, but listed ports are trivial and, I think, useful enough. -- Mikhail Kolesnik ICQ: 260259143 IRC: mike_k at freenode/#crux, rusnet/#yalta Jabber: mike_k(a)jabber.lafox.net NIC handle: MKK83-UANIC

[Clc-contrib] Ports from 'jolupa' repository to be picked up
by Johannes Winkelmann 24 Apr '06

24 Apr '06

Hi there, When disabling the jolupa repository for constant failing to sync on march 24 I placed a request here for him to contact him within reasonable time. To this day, I haven't heard from him, and his repository is not online anymore, so I'm assuming he lost interest in CRUX (again). I'll therefore remove his ports too (up to this point, they were just kept without updates), which would mean that the following ports will disappear: aspell-es ati_driver blender dvd-slideshow ftgl gd (provided by opt/libgd) glabels glibmm gnomebaker grip gtkmm icon-naming-utils inkscape jpilot leafpad libexo libsigc++ linuxwacom mesalib (provided by opt/mesa3d) qdvdauthor sgmixer tango-icon-theme terminal video-codecs xfce4-showdesktop xfmedia yafray If you want to pick up any of these, please do so within the next few days. Thanks for your attention, Johannes -- Johannes Winkelmann mailto:jw@smts.ch Zurich, Switzerland http://jw.smts.ch

[Clc-contrib] New contributor

Hi, I've been bugging CRUX maintainers with suggestions and patches for a while now, so I figured it's time to start letting them get on my nerves, too :-) I only plan to add a couple of ports to start with, but don't expect the number to increase dramatically: - akode - armagetronad - autofs (later on, needs cruxification) - cmake - dvdrtools - hotplug-ng - lynx (BASICS!!11) The full list of duplicates, small libraries (for personal projects), bloated package managers (I love studying those) and other weird stuff is available at http://crux.nu/portdb/?command=viewrepo&name=mark - if there's any interest in any of them in addition to the listed ones, I'm obviously ready to do an extra maintenance effort on those, too. Given that lynx is one of the proposed additions, consider it non-optional to add this repository ;-)
