[aur-general] rsync for AUR
by Abhishek Dasgupta 01 Jul '09

01 Jul '09

Is it feasible to setup an rsync for AUR packages? Would it increase load on the server a lot? Installing packages from AUR would become simpler, as tools can work on the local cache instead. It'll be also easier to keep backups. -- Abhishek

Hi, aur.archlinux.org/srv/ftp/community/os/i686 differs from ftp.archlinux.org/community/os/i686 ~100Mb in ~20 files differs. Rsync seems still broken...

[aur-general] The [community-testing] repository
by Thomas Bächler 30 Jun '09

30 Jun '09

I think this has been requested and discussed a few times and I talked to several people about it, so I want to outline my ideas here: When moving the community db scripts to the new svn-based scripts, a community-testing repository should be created. With the new scripts, handling this is incredibly easy. And here is why: Rebuild sprees. We have the problem now with readline: libreadline.so.6 is in testing and community packages are built against .so.5. [testing] users cannot use everything from [community] and once we move everything to core and extra, it takes too much time for [community] to catch up. The [community-testing] repository will solve that: While the dev team does rebuilds in [testing], the TUs do the same in [community-testing]. When everything is done, a developer can move the core/extra and community packages simultaneously. This is not only useful for SONAME bumps, but also for kernel updates (there's a few kernel modules in [community]). I suggest this should be set up as soon as [community] is moved to SVN-based scripts, as the upcoming libjpeg rebuilds will break too many packages and we need to rebuild not only the [extra] but also the [community] packages in time. That's how I see it, opinions?

Hi Dominik, As this is an AUR package, I am forwarding this message on to the aur-general mailing list to see if one of the TUs or another member of the community would be interested in maintaining it.

[aur-general] Deletion Request: ruby-sup
by Andrei Thorp 30 Jun '09

30 Jun '09

Hello there. While playing around with aurbuild today, I found that there is a package in AUR called ruby-sup. This is an outdated duplicate of my package "sup". It was also orphaned, so I adopted it. I guess my package, "sup" is probably the correct name, so could you please delete ruby-sup. Thanks! -- Andrei Thorp, Developer: Xandros Corp. (http://www.xandros.com)

[aur-general] Can not upload moinmoin package
by Sergej Pupykin 29 Jun '09

29 Jun '09

Hi, after aur moving, I can't upload package, bigger than 100-200Kb. connection hangs after this size uploaded. I sniff conversation with wireshark and found 'TCP Acked lost segment' packet near the end. May be uploading is in progress, but very very slow. Please advise, how can I test it to find where is the problem? (ssh, cvs works quite slowly, but don't hangs)
