[aur-general] out of date flagging
by Adam Vogt 12 Apr '08

12 Apr '08

Could someone confirm my observation that the aur does not reset out of date flags on packages when they are updated? Maybe it's just on packages that I've flagged myself then adopted. I don't update enough stuff to know. If this is the intended behavior, I would expect that resetting out of date flags on updates is the most reasonable thing to do.

[aur-general] Can it be done?
by Collin 29 Feb '08

29 Feb '08

NOTE: This is my first actual fresh pkgbuild. What a way to start! I've been looking into creating a package for FreePBX. However, I'm now wondering if it can be done with the pkgbuild system. The problem is that FreePBX wants a # of changes to a variety of packages (namely, mysql, apache, and php) and it wants to check to see that those changes are done before it installs. For instance, it wants mysql to already have a user account and PW for it as well as tables setup, etc. It seems like it might be difficult to make a package first add a bunch of system changes and then install the files. Is this possible to do? I'm thinking that my only hope would be to patch the FreePBX installer so that it no longer checks and instead make all of the necessary changes in an .install file which would run after the package is installed, correct? It would have been helpful if there was much of any documentation on how to go about building packages. But, I can't seem to find much of anything concrete.

by Dragonlord 28 Feb '08

I´ve made new PKGBUILDs for these 2 packages. User kindarch requested the new openmovieeditor in the forum. I can't adopt these packages, because they are in the community repo. Can someone please update them? PKGBUILDs are attached. Thanks D

[aur-general] little AUR glitches
by Firmicus 28 Feb '08

28 Feb '08

On the main page of AUR, my statistics indicate that I have one package flagged out-of-date, but I have looked at the list of my packages and I simply cannot find it. Could someone check this please? thanks! Oh, and one more thing: on the packages page, when I select "Location=community", "Per page = 100" and click on "Orphans", I see items 1 to 100 of a list of 109. But clicking the link "More" at the bottom right does not bring one to the next page with items 101 to 109: instead I get the same first page. F

Sometimes I think so. The message is (unflagged out of date) (added to notify list) And it seems that the comment I give with the aurup command does not find its way to the AUR. Stefan
