21 Jun '10

Hello everyone, I noticed that there are several duplicates of extra packages in the AUR or at least they share the same name.

Hi, haskell-platform hasn't been updated (submitted) since 31 Jul 2009. I e-mailed the maintainer almost two weeks ago and have not got any reply. A working PKGBUILD is posted among the comments. Thanks, Alexander Rødseth

[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

by Adam Hani Schakaki 01 Apr '10

Hi, The official repositories switched to the xz format, but the AUR seems to be not ready for this. Will this be done or shouldn't it be ready for xz? Adam Hani Schakaki

[aur-general] package version with hyphen
by Hervé Cauwelier 30 Mar '10

30 Mar '10

Hi, I've just noticed pkgver is not interpreted when uploading to AUR. I am packaging a program versionned "1.0-beta" and I learned hypens are forbidden in pkgver: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PKGBUILD I first tried this: _pkgver=1.0-beta pkgver=${pkgver/-/_} But it was displayed as something like "pkgver/-/_}". So I had to double the declaration: pkgver=1.0-beta pkgver=1.0_beta The wiki doesn't give tips for cases like this. What would be your advice for not repeating myself? Thanks, -- Hervé Cauwelier

[aur-general] GraphicsMagick PKGBUILD
by Anton Leontiev 28 Mar '10

28 Mar '10

Hello everyone! I've updated GraphicsMagick PKGBUILD to the version 1.3.12. Can anyone check it and update the package in extra repository? Also I have a question about perl bindings fot this package. Now they are included in the package. Maybe it will be better to make PKGBUILD that produces two packages: graphicsmagick and perl-graphics-magick? Or this is completely unnecessary? Thanks, -- Leontiev Anton (bunder(a)t-25.ru)
