[aur-general] I can't see my own messages on this list.
by Xyne 30 Sep '09

I've just checked the web archive for aur-general and saw that my message(s) about nexuiz-data when through yet I can't see them or the replies too them (in sylpheed, if that matters). This hasn't been an issue before. Please cc reples to me until the issue is resolved. As for nexuiz-data, I've rebuilt the package against the latest svn checkout and it still complains (just sent another message because I couldn't see my first message on the list). It's amazing how everything goes wrong when you have absolutely no time to deal with it.

[aur-general] netatalk-2.0.4
by Farhan Yousaf 30 Sep '09

30 Sep '09

Hi folks, I finally got the new package for netatalk working with Arch. The previous one has major build issues. Can someone orphan the existing package so I can maintain this? For those who are wondering, this package allows Apple's Filing Protocol to work on Linux with Macs. For hybrid folks like me, this is essential. Thanks, Farhan

[aur-general] I need some help with nexuiz-data.
by Xyne 29 Sep '09

29 Sep '09

I'm having trouble getting nexuiz-data into the db. I get the following error when running /arch/db-community: [xyne@sigurd ~]$ /arch/db-community ==> Processing 1 new/updated arch-independent packages for 'community'... Checked out revision 3188. Validating package arch (any) nexuiz-data Checking SVN for nexuiz-data WARNING: nexuiz-data-2.5.1-1-any.pkg.tar.gz does not match PKGBUILD in community-any Updating DB for community-i686 ==> Copying DB file from 'community'... ==> Processing 1 new/updated packages for repository 'community'... D checkout/nexuiz-data Checked out revision 3188. Errors found when adding packages Updating DB for community-x86_64 ==> Copying DB file from 'community'... ==> Processing 1 new/updated packages for repository 'community'... Checked out revision 3188. Errors found when adding packages I tried removing and re-adding the PKGBUILD, went through all of the steps again, double-checked that the correct PKGBUILD was committed, triple-checked the package's md5sum and rechecked the upload steps against both the wiki and my working scripts. I have even bumped the pkgrel and rebuilt the package on Sigurd (it's data only, all it does it download the source, move the files and repack them... no bandwidth was wasted either as it would still have been 600 MB as an upload from my machine). I've also tried removing nexuiz-data/repos/community-any several times from the svn (svn rm; svn commit) and then run 'archrelease "community-any"' again. I have no idea what to do now and would appreciate any insights. I've left the nexuiz src in my home dir on Sigurd for now in case it requires a rebuild (~/build/). The i686 and x86_64 package were both updated correctly so I really don't see what I'm doing wrong here. Thanks, Xyne

by Artyom Smirnov 29 Sep '09

Hi, I'm going to disown some of my packages because of lack of time and switching to KDE. Some of this PKGBUILD's are pretty popular :) I want to disown: exo-alt flush gajim-emoticons-kolobok gajim-hg gdm-arc-colors gdm-archfamily gnome-colors-icon-theme gtk-theme-shiki-colors notification-daemon-engine-ubuntu notify-osd-bzr thunar-svn-plugin x-tile Some of PKGBUILD's in this list need updating. Thanks! -- Artyom

[aur-general] How to make a PKGBUILD for Kepler/Xavante?
by Pierre Chapuis 28 Sep '09

28 Sep '09

Hi listmates, as I said in an earlier email in another thread, I always try to make a PKGBUILD for every piece of software I install. There's an exception though: the Lua webserver Xavante, which is part of the Kepler distribution (http://www.keplerproject.org/xavante/). I can set it up without Pacman that way: ftp://catwell.info/misc/arch/xavante/howto-setup.txt but I haven't found a way to make it work properly with makepkg. The problem is that the setup process run in a fakeroot leaves the string corresponding to $pkgdir in a lot of places in the resulting files, including binary files. I have tried to use sed on the resulting files but I didn't manage to get rid of it everywhere, neither to get a working package. Has somebody already given a try at packaging such an application, and are there examples of packages that deal with this kind of problem? Thanks, -- catwell

by Imanol Celaya 28 Sep '09

28 Sep '09

looking through the community repos seems that aurtools would be completely obsolete, did I miss something or is it time to remove it form community?
