[aur-dev] [PATCH] Make whitespace significant in comments. Fixes FS#14391.
by Ronuk Raval 05 Feb '10

05 Feb '10

Originally reported the bug [1] a while ago, but butted heads into it again recently [2]. Here's my rather small patch to fix the issue. Note that this would cause the column to stretch out to fit its contents, possibly breaking layout. However, I felt that to be an adequate compromise given the goal of altering comments as little as possible.

[aur-dev] Safe and relatively reliable PKGBUILD parser.
by Xyne 14 Jan '10

Hi, There was no response on the pacman-dev list but someone here might find this potentially useful: http://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/pacman-dev/2010-January/010322.html It's written in Perl but it could easily be adapted to Python. It handles Bash variable interpolation and string substitutions so far. I'll add support for other PKGBUILD "tricks"as I come across them, e.g. setting dependencies by architecture. The post linked above includes simplified JSON output from the split kernel26 package. Regards, Xyne

[aur-dev] Incorrect URLPath Data in JSON Info
by Xyne 11 Jan '10

11 Jan '10

Hi, This came up in the Bauerbill thread: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=686032#p686032 The URLPath returned in the JSON info for "gsm" points to "packages/gsm/archive.tar.gz" instead of "packages/gsm/gsm.tar.gz". The package has not been updated in two years so I suspect that the error is due to a lazy code migration during that time, one which relied on all packagers reuploading their packages to complete the migration. Would it be very difficult to update the URLPaths across the whole database? I realize that most packages which have not been updated are probably obsolete/abandoned, but considering the sheer number of packages in the AUR, many of them will still be valid. Regards, Xyne

[aur-dev] patch for AUR about setting the DEFAULT_LANG
by Athurg Gooth 09 Jan '10

Loui Chang, and other guys: When i port a chinese version AUR, I fount this bug. That once i setting a default language to sth(eg: zh_CN) by change DEFAULT_LANG macr define in web/lib/config.inc, it won't work, and this language page(here is zh_CN) could not show its native strings. Then i turn back to check if i got a wrong spelling. But i fount the developer have told us that options couldn't be change(in web/lib/config.inc, line 48). So I think maybe its a bug which havn't been fixed. After i check all the code about language setting, i think i got the reason. We have two problems which cause that bug. First, in .../web/lib/aur.inc, between line 296 to line 298. Even the $LANG==DEFAULT_LANG, we should include the $LANG.po file. Because once the DEFAULT_LANG isn't english, we also need translate the strings. So i just suggest add an 'else' branch after line 298 to include DEFAULT_LANG.po.such as"else{include_once(DEFAULT_LANG.".po";)}" Second, in .../web/lib/translator.inc, between line 52 to line 62. The reason is as the same as i said above. If we havn't set a $LANG var, the $LANG will be set to DEFAULT_LANG. But the DEFAULT_LANG doesn't mean english. Even the $LANG havn't been set, the $_t maybe setting (see Firest above) when include from DEFAULT_LANG.po. We should also translate them. So i think we should remove the 'else' identify. make the 'else' branch work for ever. By the way if the function "include_lang()" in .../web/lib/translator.inc, between line 32 to line 40 is an old function to make the lang func? Maybe we should remove them. PS: I prepare to make a mirror for our AUR to chinese people, how could i got the databases an files from aur.archlinux.org. OR i couldn't make a mirror for that. Your know as a chinese ,my english is very pool. If you guys don't know what i say, welcome to send me a mail. Athurg Gooth now
