[aur-general] ufoai: separate packages or one big?
by Lukáš Jirkovský 14 Mar '08

14 Mar '08

Hi, I've problem with deciding if it's better to have this great game splitted into two separate packages: package with data and package with game engine or if I should make one big package including both game data and engine. Now I'm maintaining it in two separate packages, but I still have problems with dependencies. Some users wrote me that it would be better to have data dependent on engine and some think exactly the opossite. How should I treat it? Thanks for any suggestion, Lukas "6xx" Jirkovsky

[aur-general] question on devtools / aurtools
by Firmicus 13 Mar '08

13 Mar '08

Just a quick question relating to devtools and aurtools. pacman / makepkg now support arch=any, but AFAICS the current version of extrapkg (to which communitypkg is a symlink) does not support uploading packages built with $CARCH="any"... Is this likely to change soon? François

[aur-general] some jokers spuriously flagging out-of-date?
by Firmicus 10 Mar '08

10 Mar '08

In recent weeks I've had too many cases of up-to-date packages being flagged out-of-date by some jokers. I find this annoying. Did some of you experience that too? I hope this is not done out of malevolence, but I would urge users to PLEASE check twice before flagging out-of-date! Thanks F

[aur-general] lzma
by Firmicus 10 Mar '08

10 Mar '08

Hi everyone, The TeXLive project is considering using the lzma format instead of bz2 for its next release, and I wondered whether it is supported by makepkg. It is not, as I expected. But to my suprise, there is not even a PKGBUILD for it in AUR/unsupported! I have thus just uploaded lzma-utils to [community]. In case some of you are interested, it is said to achieve 15% better compression rates than bzip2 while being 2 to 5 times faster. And decompression is nearly as fast as gunzip (see http://tukaani.org/lzma/) Regards, François PS: A quick question: I have built a x86_64 package on Aaron's machine. What should I do to upload and commit it to the repo? Just "communitypkg" ?

Please orphan the AUR packages codeblocks and codeblocks-svn; the current maintainer is unreachable (hotmail says the user does not exist) and there is a new stable version; I have already posted pkgbuilds for it on the forum and am willing to adopt the packages.
