[arch-projects] New PKGBUILD parsing php script
by tardo 07 Oct '07

07 Oct '07

Greetings, I'm really tired so I'll try to keep this as short as possible. Instead of working on things I should be working on, like my AUR 1.5 goals, or my homework or my research project, I decided to write a new parsing algorithm that hopefully gets adopted into AUR code. Using PHP_LexerGenerator from the PEAR library, I was able to automagically create a php class that parses the entire PKGBUILD for sanity, according to current arch pkgbuild standards. I wrote a quick script to actually test the algorithm and have been finding bugs here and there, but I need a broader audience, and many more test cases. So without further ado, the test site: http://nagi-fanboi.net/arch/pkgbuild/parser.php Usage is simple; click browse, locate a PKGBUILD, click submit. If parsing is successful, you'll see the variables relevant to AUR displayed, else you'll get a meaningless error. There are two possible ways to get an error currently, one is to ignore the current arch pkgbuild standards (which I will highlight common mistakes below), and one is to have an actual bug in my code which overlooks some regex. In the case yours falls in the latter category, please email me your PKGBUILD so I can patch it up (or you can post it on this ML by replying to this email). I should mention that the parsing algorithm is a lexical scanner, and if you don't know what that is, just remember that it's very strict. The smallest mistake will lead to an error. Here are some common errors I found in random PKGBUILDs: - license is always an array - pkgname is always small letters - pkgver cannot have '-' - no arch=() array - no license=() array - custom variables always must start with a _ - (empty variables, while not a standard helps reduce clutter) ... and so on. I've tested many PKGBUILDs locally, but I don't think I've covered every case, which is why I'm now posting on the ML for testing. Here are some of the benefits to using this script: - every variable in the PKGBUILD is properly parsed, and checked for sanity - url is properly displayed properly even if custom variables are used (which is a problem with the current script) - the script uses a decent OOP structure, hence every variable is readily available once parsed (including arch, groups, even the entire build function) - this script will definitely help enforce pkgbuild standards Of course, I have bigger goals for this. I plan to completely rewrite the pkgsubmit.php script that is currently in use. Using Archive::Tar and this lexical scanner should make the pkg submission process less of a pain than the current hackish script (no offence). Long story short, I need testers. If you have PKGBUILDs laying around and free time, please help me test it. Thank you. - tardo

[arch-projects] [AUR2] "Upstream" git repo
by Xilon 03 Oct '07

03 Oct '07

I made an "upstream"/central repo on repo.or.cz: http://repo.or.cz/w/aur2.git Currently only Thralas and I have push access. I think it might be a good idea to go the Linux kernel way and have a few people with push access who have to sign off any contributions and then push.

Re: [arch-projects] [tur-users] Proposal of changes for AUR
by Paul Mattal 02 Oct '07

> Sorry it's just a giant list, I basically just copy/pasted out of my > chat with louipc on irc. Thanks for creating this list! I would like to request that folks test against the test site: https://subzero.elys.com I have merged the pending changes for 1.4.0 into the git master. You can look at the detailed change list at: http://projects.archlinux.org/git/?p=aur.git;a=shortlog;h=master Please let me know if you see anything broken or not working. I plan to release 1.4.0 either tomorrow or Monday! At this point, the only other things I will merge into master before the release are bigfixes or regressions to the current material. So send me a patch or a commit ID if you think there's a patch I should include before release. Thanks! - P

[arch-projects] merging for 1.4.0
by Paul Mattal 02 Oct '07

02 Oct '07

The merge window for 1.4.0 will close Friday, 9/28. After that, just regressions/bugfixes will be pulled. I may cherrypick one or two fixes and roll a 1.3.2 before then. I am working on merging masters from the following people into my testing branch: eliott (done) louipc tardo xilon It probably does make sense for folks to rebase off of the release repo at this point (http://git.mattal.com/aur) if they want their changes incorporated. There were substantial conflicts merging from everyone but eliott, and I am not sure how long it will take me to sort all of that out. If you want your stuff to get, please work on eliminating conflicts between your repos and mine; hopefully this will be a 1-time hassle and then we'll be into smooth sailing. I will generally do my merging work on the subzero checkout, and push things pack to the public repo when I've sanity checked them. The upshot of this-- you can use the subzero url to effectively monitor the state of my testing branch. As we get close to a stable release, I'll probably switch subzero over to the stable tree, but I'll announce that when it happens. https://subzero.elys.com - P

[arch-projects] json-rpc for aur (experimental)
by eliott 30 Sep '07

30 Sep '07

In my working branch today, I got a json remote package search working. It might be a little rough, so check it out if you are brave. Currently in my 'testing' branch. I have some test code here: http://www.archlinux.org/~eliott/zomgstuff/rpc_examples.tar.gz An example in python, as well as an example in html/javascript (using jQuery). For testing, make sure you configure the target url manually in the respective python or html file(s). The python version is VERY SIMPLE. Just edit the file and run. A more robust test harness could probably be written with the python one...that takes some command line args and such. Anyway..my hope is this may be useful for some of the people that have command line tools. JSON is alot easier to parse than scraping the html output....
