[aur-general] Please orphan AUR package "bullet-svn"
by Sven-Hendrik Haase 10 Dec '09

10 Dec '09

I'd like to adopt bullet-svn since the current maintainer seems to have abandoned it and lost interest in Arch as a whole since this is his only package and it has never been updated. bullet-svn: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=21091 -- Sven-Hendrik

[aur-general] Status of the Chromium/Chrome packages on AUR
by Panos 09 Dec '09

09 Dec '09

Hello to everyone! I had recently created a thread on bbs.archlinux.org here http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=79410 in order to discuss the situration for the numerous chromium packages on AUR. As I can see, they are getting more and more. I would like to make the discussion on mailing list so that more people would participate. The list: 1 aur/chromium-browser 4.0.204.0~svn20090831r24879-1 (369) 2 aur/chromium-browser-4.0.219.3 4.0.219.3~svn20090925r27181-1 (0) 3 aur/chromium-browser-dev r26808-1 (107) 4 aur/chromium-browser-inspector r26919-1 (22) 5 aur/chromium-browser-l10n 4.0.219.0~svn20090924r27064-1 (6) 6 aur/chromium-browser-svn `svn info /chromium/src/ | grep (8) 7 aur/chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-nonfree r26428-1 (39) 8 aur/chromium-continuous -latest (46) 9 aur/chromium-fresh -latest (25) 10 aur/chromium-snapshot 27035-1 [27188-1] (439) 11 aur/chromium-snapshot-64 27164-5 (110) 12 aur/chromium-snapshot-64-last -6 (40) 13 aur/chromium-snapshot-latest -3 (4) 14 aur/cxchromium 0.9.0-3 (153) 15 aur/iron 3.0.197.0-6 (61) Except for 15 and 6 which provide a different package, and 14 which is very old, all the others are differently packaged chromium from svn. Chromium in these packages comes from two sources: 1)build.chromium.org 2)a deb from ppa.launchpad So I make the same question: do we really need all these packages ? Shouldn't they be less and provide, from fewer PKGBUILDs, the different pre-packaged chromium browser ? Because they are mostly repackaging an already packaged chromium browser, except for (6). We have two chromium-browser that use a deb package --> shouldn't it be one ? We have chromium-browser-dev --> it is the same as 1 and 2, but it can repackage debs for both architectures. 5 is a l10n package, it is only for the repackaged debs. We have 4 chromium-snapshot PKGBUILDs (they provide the one from build.chromium.org ). Shouldn't there be only one, which will create a 32 or 64 package from one PKGBUILD ? Just like chromium-browser-dev (which repackages the deb one) and automatically ? As you can see, it is clearly a bit of a chaos here.

[aur-general] Split package pkgrel/arch issue
by Daenyth Blank 08 Dec '09

08 Dec '09

I'm maintaining tremulous in community, and I'd like to split it into tremulous and tremulous-data, to save space and bandwidth for both mirrors and users, as well as making it a lot easier to package alternate clients. The problem I'm running into right now is that dbscripts can't handle packages with different pkgrel/arch lines in a split package.[1] The arch issue isn't pressing, since I could just silently update -data later (replace the i686 and x86_64 packages with one -any package without updating pkgrel). This should be seamless for users, and there's no reason to bump pkgrel because the change has no effect for users who have -data already installed. The other issue though, is that I'd like to set tremulous (the client package) to -6 (it's at -5), while keeping -data and pkgrel 1. I tried to commit this, but the dbscripts errored out saying it couldn't find data 1.1.0-6. What's my best course of action here? I see them as 1) Wait for dbscripts support. I don't want to do this because the 1.2 beta was recently released, and it would depend on -data. I'd rather not keep users waiting 2) Put out -data with pkgrel=6, then once dbscripts support is added, either a) Reset pkgrel to 1 with "force", or b) Continue from -6 going up to -7, etc. This feels ugly to me.
