[aur-general] pkgconflict: a tool to find file conflicts when building packages
by Chris Brannon 09 Apr '09

09 Apr '09

I wrote this code in anger. Hopefully, others might find it useful. There is a little story behind it. I maintain the nmh package in unsupported. I just discovered that a package from extra provides /usr/bin/dp, which is also provided by nmh. We have this nice collection of files under /var/cache/pkgtools/lists, thanks to Daenyth's very useful pkgfile tool. We ought to be able to use that collection to detect conflicts like the one I just described. Hence the birth of pkgconflict. Usage: pkgconflict <PACKAGEFILE> Source is here: http://members.cox.net/cmbrannon/pkgconflict If someone else has a better tool for this purpose, I'd love to hear about it! Enjoy, -- Chris PS. pkgconflict already proved useful. It showed me that /usr/bin/scan, also from nmh, is provided by linuxtv-dvb-apps from community.

[aur-general] sphinx aur package
by Bobby Wilson 09 Apr '09

09 Apr '09

The package Sphinx 0.9.8_rc2-1 is now out of date, and seems to be abandoned. I contacted the currently listed maintainer of the package on 3/20 without reply. I would like to continue maintenance of this package. If someone else would like to continue maintenance of the package I am fine with that as well, I just would like it to stay up to date and in good standing.

I'll be inactive for holidays from 9 of April until the 13nd or 14nd(I think) please, take a special look after panda3d, the 1.6.0-2 version should be uploaded to community, but I'd need for someone to build and upload it for i686(should build straightforward, but be careful, if it fails there's no warning) Regards, Imanol

There's a user by the name "myfilefind" that is promoting his site through the AUR comments it seems. He/she commented on one of my packages, that reads: Comment by: myfilefind on Wed, 04 Mar 2009 08:51:46 +0000 Very useful files search engine. myfilefind.com is a search engine designed to search files in various file sharing and uploading sites http://myfilefind.com Max

[aur-general] Use of sudo in pkgbuild
by Laurie Clark-Michalek 08 Apr '09

08 Apr '09

Hi, I've been working on the splashy-creator package (updating it to 2.2), and had got it working, when I realised I had a potential problem. I needed to use sudo in the pkgbuild, and so far, I have never seen it used in a package. Is this OK, and/or is there away to avoid it? Here is my package build for inspection: # Contributor: Laurie Clark-Michalek <BluePeppers (at) archlinux (dot) us> pkgname=splashy-creator pkgver=2.2 pkgrel=1 pkgdesc="A tool for creating Splashy themes." arch=('i686' 'x86_64') url="http://www.nanolx.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=34" license=('GPL3') depends=('sed' 'pygtk>=2.4' 'python>=2.4' 'splashy') makedepends=('sudo' 'patch') source=(http://nanolx.org/free/$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.bz2 $pkgname.patch) md5sums=('615033a2cabab0b132ecc9aff2c07a7b' 'b8095120f36b5f2cc3b1704a7b2e32a6') build() { cd $srcdir/$pkgname ./configure patch ./Makefile $srcdir/splashy-creator.patch sudo make DESTDIR=$pkgdir install || return 1 } The patch is just a small one: 23c23 < @mkdir -p $(DESTDIR)/usr/usr/bin/ --- > @mkdir -p $(DESTDIR)/usr/bin/ Thanks, Laurie P.S. This is the first time I've used patch, so is the .patch file alright?
