[aur-general] How to manually add or remove packages from the repos
by Pierre Schmitz 22 Nov '10

22 Nov '10

Hi Devs and TUs. in same rare cases it is needed to manually add or remove packages from our repositories regardless what is in SVN. ATM theses cases are due to e.g. svn crashing and leaving us with an inconsitent state or when some split packages have been removed from a new version of the pkgbuild. However, using repo-add or repo-remove on the dbfiles is a bad idea as they don't lock the db files and don't set the correct permissions. In short, just don't even think about doing that. :-) I have added some simple wrapper which are /arch/db-repo-add and /arch/db-repo-remove. Usage is: * db-repo-add <pkgfile> <repo> <arch> * db-repo-remove <pkgname> <repo> <arch> with pkgname being a single package name (not pkgbase) and pkgfile the full path to a single package. arch is one of i686, x86_64 or any. Greetings, Pierre -- Pierre Schmitz, https://users.archlinux.de/~pierre

[aur-general] Move pigeonhole to [community]?
by Peter Lewis 21 Nov '10

Hi fellow TUs, Are there any objections if I move pigeonhole (dovecot sieve plugin) from the AUR to [community]? It's got 9 votes at the moment, but there's a potential problem in that if pigeonhole isn't built against the installed version of dovecot, mail delivery breaks. So, the idea would be to keep dovecot in [community] and depend on the current version of dovecot *only*. This way people can't update their system in such a way as to break mail delivery. This make sense to you? Cheers, Pete.
