[arch-dev-public] Raise default inotify limits
by Jan Alexander Steffens 21 Aug '18

21 Aug '18

Hi list, I would like to add a sysctl.d/10-arch.conf file to filesystem with the following content: # Raise inotify resource limits fs.inotify.max_user_instances = 1024 fs.inotify.max_user_watches = 524288 To fix https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/47830 and other issues; e.g. "flow", used for JS development, runs a cache daemon that silently malfunctions and uses old source file content when it cannot create any more watches. Any objections? Greetings, Jan

[arch-dev-public] Dropping pyqt4/pyside1
by Antonio Rojas 17 Aug '18

17 Aug '18

Hi all, The latest pyqt4 release makes packaging more complex due to upstream's decision of requiring a private namespaced sip (for mysterious reasons). It is also the last release, so pyqt4 is now officially EOL. I would like to drop it from our repos. It's mostly used as an optional dependency of python packages that also support a pyqt5 backend, so it shouldn't cause much trouble. Other packages that require it (gnuradio, hgview) have alternative UIs (wxwidgets and ncurses respectively). And in any case, pyqt4 is not a build-time dependency, so the pyqt4 UI would still work by installing pyqt4 from AUR. Besides these, the only package that still needs it is ninja-ide. It is ported to PyQt5 in git, so it could be updated to a snapshot. I'd also like to drop pyside1, for the same reasons (unused/EOL). This would reduce the number of reverse qt4 dependencies, and bring us closer to dropping it. Any comments or objections?

[arch-dev-public] Github Domain Verification
by Giancarlo Razzolini 10 Aug '18

10 Aug '18

Hi All, I have added verification for our organization's domain on github [0]. This is an extra security feature that shows a "verified" badge [1] on our organization's profile. This is to help avoid impersonations to both our users and to our developers. Make sure you're always seeing the verified badge when using it. Regards, Giancarlo Razzolini [0] https://help.github.com/articles/verifying-your-organization-s-domain/ [1] https://paste.xinu.at/CgBNjk/

[arch-dev-public] dropping luxrender packages
by Lukas Jirkovsky 29 Jul '18

29 Jul '18

Hi, I'd like to drop the luxrays, luxrender and luxblend25 packages from [community]. They have always required continuous attention to keep working which I can no longer provide with sufficient quality and right now the luxrender package is blocking the Python 3.7 rebuild. Moreover, the luxrender project has been abandoned and it was superseded by LuxCoreRender which has an active maintainer in AUR. If nobody steps in, I will remove them tomorrow. Lukas

[arch-dev-public] jack rebuild required
by David Runge 29 Jul '18

29 Jul '18

Hey all, I've now created a realtime-privileges package to support a more general approach to acquiring realtime and rebuilt jack2 against those changes [2], making the aforementioned package an optional dependency for jack2 (while removing the redundant realtime settings). These changes are currently still in [community-testing]. As jack is in [extra], I'm unable to rebuild it with the changes, but I've prepared an update to its PKGBUILD [2]. I would be happy if some developer could rebuild jack with the updated build script and `svn rm jack.install, 40-hpet-permissions.rules, 99-audio.conf` before uploading. The changes have the benefit of outsourcing the settings, making it possible to reuse them in other applications, as previously discussed [3]. Best, David [1] https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-proaudio/2018-July/000163.html [2] https://pkgbuild.com/~dvzrv/extra/jack/PKGBUILD [3] https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-dev-public/2018-February/029172.… -- https://sleepmap.de

Anyway if no one has a serious objection by the end of the week I guess I will add it. :) -- Eli Schwartz Bug Wrangler and Trusted User

[arch-dev-public] proposal to add "aurpublish" to community
by Eli Schwartz 20 Jul '18

20 Jul '18

Hi, so for a while now I've been using a tool I wrote at https://github.com/eli-schwartz/aurpublish -- recently split out from a vendored script in https://github.com/eli-schwartz/pkgbuilds -- to maintain my AUR packages. Some of you will probably have heard about it before. :) I certainly think it's a nifty tool :D and apparently a number of other people do too. It makes things faster and simpler, and especially prevents people from accidentally uploading PKGBUILDs with out of date .SRCINFO which is obviously a huge plus... I would like to add this to [community], but I'm unsure what people think about this; specifically, whether this might come too close to "supporting the AUR via [community] packages". Note that this is *not* an AUR helper and is strictly a tool for package *maintainers* to use during the process of uploading. What do you all think? -- Eli Schwartz Bug Wrangler and Trusted User
