Hello everyone, I noticed that there are several duplicates of extra packages in the AUR or at least they share the same name. Perhaps a TU want to clean them up. allegro apr-util aspell-nl asymptote autopano-sift-c bochs darcs davfs2 fixesproto haskell-extensible-exceptions haskell-hashed-storage haskell-haskeline haskell-mmap haskell-terminfo jackbeat kdeutils-kcalc koffice lensfun lha libedit libical liblqr libmp3splt liboil libpst libticonv libytnef libzrtpcpp link-grammar lxsplit mp3wrap neon opencv oxine pal partitionmanager perl-bit-vector perl-carp-clan perl-dbd-sqlite perl-digest-sha1 perl-test-pod perl-timedate qtscriptgenerator rdesktop taglib-extras truecrypt tsocks watchdog words xf86-video-geode Regards, Cedric

[aur-general] Can't upload package to AUR
by Heiko Baums 13 May '10

13 May '10

Hi, I've just built the new version of kernel26-fbcondecor (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=15603) based on the split package kernel26 from [core]/abs. It builds and installs fine and it creates every three packages. The first problem is that makepkg --source doesn't include the .install file into the package. The second problem is that I can't upload the archive which I then created with tar cfvz kernel26-fbcondecor.tar.gz kernel26-fbcondecor which includes the file kernel26.install. When I try to upload it I get a page with this error message: "Submit Use `makepkg --source` to generate source packages for submission! Invalid name: only lowercase letters are allowed." The package name is definitely correct. Is this a bug in AUR? If AUR parses the PKGBUILD's variable pkgname then it should parse the variable pkgbase instead if it's a split package because pkgname is an array in split packages. Greetings, Heiko

[aur-general] Away
by Andrea Scarpino 02 Mar '10

02 Mar '10

Hi DEVs and TUs, my exams session is over, and I need a short holiday in London. I will be away starting from some hours to 2nd afternoon/night (GMT). I am building KDE 4.4.1 packages and everything seems fine. Before to go, I will upload them into my staging/extra dir, so you can take them. This minor release will be released 2nd March; I should come back in time to run /arch/db-extra, anyway Ronald and Pierre are here for everything. Free to fix high or medium priority bugs assigned to me or to update my packages. Thanks. Best Regards -- Andrea `bash` Scarpino Arch Linux Developer

[aur-general] Removal request - soqt-svn, pivy-svn, coin-mercurial
by Michele Mocciola 28 Feb '10

28 Feb '10

Please remove: - soqt-svn (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=27293) - pivy-svn (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=32334) - coin-mercurial (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=34241) SVN version of SoQt and Pivy are no more updated, just because developers now use mercurial (see soqt-hg (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=34865) and pivy-hg (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=34864) ). Also coin has past to mercurial, so I created "coin-mercurial", however I think it's better to change its name to "coin-hg". Thanks, mickele

by Pierre Chapuis 27 Feb '10

Hello, I would like mlmmj to be orphaned so that I can adopt it. It has been flagged out of date for a long time, I have posted a working PKGBUILD in the comments 10 days ago and I have emailed its maintainer without an answer. Package link: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=12175

[aur-general] vim-git : removal request
by Xavier Chantry 26 Feb '10

26 Feb '10

To quote my comment on http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=31000 : vim now has an official hg repository, which obsoletes the unofficial git one. This means the git repo will be stopped at some point. And that I will delete this package in one week or so. I hope the 2 users can move to vim-hg :) http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=33422 Too bad, it was a cool AUR ID !

Re: [aur-general] [arch-dev-public] Namcap/XZ compatibility (was: Accept any *.pkg.tar.* package file name)

For those who want to check their xz packages before the next namcap released I have added the relevant patches to namcap 2.4: https://users.archlinux.de/~pierre/packages/namcap-2.4-1.1-i686.pkg.tar.xz https://users.archlinux.de/~pierre/packages/namcap-2.4-1.1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz And the PKGBUILD including the patches can be found at https://users.archlinux.de/~pierre/packages/namcap-2.4-1.1.src.tar.gz Greetings, Pierre -- Pierre Schmitz, https://users.archlinux.de/~pierre

[aur-general] Please orphan dnsmap
by Sébastien Duquette 26 Feb '10

26 Feb '10

Hi, Please orphan dnsmap, it has not been updated for I while and I plan to maintain it. I contacted the current owner (anoxia) and he says he doesn't have access to his account anymore. Thank you, Sébastien Response from anoxia : Hey, please feel free to update the PKGBUILD and make yourself the maintainer, I no longer have access to my AUR account and also have not been using Arch for the last 4 months, so it would be fine for you to adopt this package =) Thanks & Regards, Jinx
