Manjaro-specific packages which need an update

Kind of the reverse here ...
Apparently acetoneiso2 is in the arch repos, but not in ours? ..

Hm. I see we have acetoneiso2 blacklisted. Seems I had already re-introduced it last year, but apparently there was a reason for it to be blocked again, I'm not sure what's the deal here... @philm ?

[philm]

We have to see. If upstream works then we can use it ...

It has been removed a year ago because it started to show ads and doing cryptocurrency mining too. Here's the old thread.

Cryptocurrency ads in acetoneiso2 from repo!

Package acetoneiso2 (which I used to mount dvds) has several long crypocurrency audio ads playing in the background when you load the app. There may be other issues and I think this should be pulled from the repo.

It has been decided with a pool to remove it from the repos completely once and for all.

Cryptocurrency ads in acetoneiso2 from repo!

sudo pacman -U https://manjaro.moson.eu/pool/overlay/acetoneiso2-2.4-0-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz However, we are thinking to remove it from Manjaro completely, as this won't be maintained anyway ... poll

Thats a perfectly good reason.

@philm fancontrol-gui is now a couple years and a couple versions behind. I tried it today, it probably needed a rebuild awhile back:

$ fancontrol_gui 
qt5ct: using qt5ct plugin
"file:///usr/share/kpackage/genericqml/fancontrol-gui/contents/ui/Application.qml" 
 "Error loading QML file.\n25: plugin cannot be loaded for module \"Fancontrol.Qml\": Invalid QML singleton type name \"base\"; type names must begin with an uppercase letter\n"

Installing the AUR git version automatically removed fancontrol-common, so it appears it's obsolete now. I'm not sure about fancontrol-kcm since I don't use KDE.

@jonathon, sorry, I keep forgetting what's the deal with tlp... Do we still need this overlay?
If so, it seems we should update these packages:

newer overwritten sync packages:

   [OVERWRITTEN SYNC PACKAGE]  ->  [LOCAL PACKAGE]

   tlp-1.2.2-1-any.pkg.tar.xz  ->  tlp-1.2.1-1.0-any.pkg.tar.xz
   tlp-rdw-1.2.2-1-any.pkg.tar.xz  ->  tlp-rdw-1.2.1-1.0-any.pkg.tar.xz

@Ste74, can this overlay of polkit be removed, or are there any customization we need to keep?

newer overwritten sync packages:

   [OVERWRITTEN SYNC PACKAGE]  ->  [LOCAL PACKAGE]

   polkit-0.116-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz  ->  polkit-0.115+24+g5230646-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

[Ste74]

I m not at my manjaro pc.. Who build this polkit overlay.. If i m the man i don t remember why we build so we can remove and let see what happen...

There is custom settings based on experiences of Manjaro users. Some settings are modified during the build of the package with some sed magic.

Quoting the PKGBUILD:

 ###
  # These changes represent feedback gathered over time from Manjaro users and
  # should prevent "hidden" issues with USB devices and performance issues
  # with SSDs.
  #
  # Anyone looking for further power savings can easily alter these settings
  # after installation.

  # Be conservative with SATA ALPM to prevent poor SSD performance and
  # potential data corruption; makes little difference in normal system usage.
  sed -i '167s/ min_power/ max_performance/' default

  # Disable aggressive USB device autosuspend.
  # This prevents "hidden" issues with USB hardware that is incompatible.
  sed -i '270s/enable/enable aggressive/; 272s/=1/=0/' default

Manjaro build files for polkit has a .install and a .patch. As for it it is still relevant or not nowadays, that's a good question, I don't know honestly.

tlp was modified by @jonathon unless someone else changed something since.

[TLP] 2017-12-14 - Call for testing: new TLP defaults

Introduction I've pushed a new version for TLP to unstable (tlp=1.0-1.4). This changes several default settings for TLP. These need testing to make sure they don't have any unseen side-effects (though I've been running these myself for the last few months on three systems without issue). You will have to merge or replace /etc/default/tlp with the new settings if you have made any changes to that file - check for a /etc/default/tlp.pacnew. You'll also either have to reboot or reload and restart…

Amarok needs to be rebuilded against the current libraries
as it sad in this tread

[oberon]

Thank you for letting us know!
I have just now rebuilt an updated version amarok 2.9.0.r367.gfc370bbebf in unstable.

deepin-screenshot has been updated upstream, with an important fix (blurring wasn't working correctly) - can it be updated in the Manjaro repos too? It's gone from 4.1.11 to 4.2.0.

[masterfix]

It is an Arch package Report about it here

Non-Manjaro packages which have been flagged as needing an update

This is a "holding" thread for packages flagged as needing an update but which originate from Arch. Out-of-date Manjaro-specific packages should be reported here: https://archived.forum.manjaro.org/t/manjaro-specific-packages-which-need-an-update/10882?u=jonathon Out-of-date Arch package should be reported on their associated package pages.
