[aur-general] Problems with scilab packages
by Stefan Husmann 25 Apr '09

25 Apr '09

Hello, I have a strange problem with the scilab packages I maintain in [community]. The i686 version lacks a directory /usr/share/scilab/modules/helptools/jar/ , which is needed for the help browser. The package for x86_64 has this directory. I have no idea why this ist the case, since they both use the same PKGBUILD. Any hints are appreciated. Regards Stefan

[aur-general] This is intentional [community/x86_64/lib32-*] ?
by Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi 25 Apr '09

25 Apr '09

Hi, In FTP there are lib32-* packages (also listed in community.abs.tar.gz community.db.tar.gz community.files.tar.gz) In website, under AUR if search these packages are listed as "unsupported", and other don't appears. Examples: lib32-curl is in FTP in binary form but not listed here http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?K=lib32-curl lib32-glibc is in FTP in binary form and is listed as "unsupported" with the corresponding PKGBUILD http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?K=lib32-glibc (with as normal user) There is no lib32- under community, but are on ftp? http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?K=lib32-&L=3 Confused! Thanks, -- Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi ( djgera ) http://www.djgera.com.ar KeyID: 0x1B8C330D Key fingerprint = 0CAA D5D4 CD85 4434 A219 76ED 39AB 221B 1B8C 330D

[aur-general] python-2.6.2 and files in /usr/lib/python2.5
by Allan McRae 25 Apr '09

25 Apr '09

Hi all, I have just put python-2.6.2-1 into [testing]. This remove the python-2.5 compatibility sitepath so anything not rebuilt since python-2.6 was release will be broken. The list of broken packages as of yesterday is in FS#13831 (http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/13831?getfile=3375). Note that these don't need built against the python in [testing] to be fix, just rebuilt against an python-2.6 package. Allan

[aur-general] namcap modules: gnomemenu gnomemime
by Abhishek Dasgupta 22 Apr '09

22 Apr '09

The code in the these two files is quite old since they refer to the /opt/gnome path for GNOME files which was changed to /usr quite a while back. They should either be deleted or changed to reflect the current changes. Are the tags relevant for the current GNOME? -- Abhishek
