[aur-general] renpy native x86_64 support problem
by Franz Rogar 08 Apr '10

08 Apr '10

Hello, I've a problem with current renpy and I don't know what can I do. My problem is this: - AUR renpy doesn't support pure x86_64 system, even thought PKGBUILD says it does. So, I built from sources a native version which "adds" support for x86_64 and, consecuently, new problems arised: - PKGBUILD can't be built but as root - Because you need to source a new environment, python image support lacks some formats (I don't know why but it does) and, therefore, renpy fails to start. The funny thing is that if you build it in a terminal command by command, it builds perfectly and without any error at all. So, I'm on a dilemma: - If I release the PKGBUILD, it will be useless. - I can create a new PKGBUILD which grab precompiled x86_64 runtime files (basically just .so files about ~5MB I think, haven't checked) and applies patches as needed. - I can release a full binary version (which I dislike). - I can't find any other solution. I'd pick for second option up, but AUR doesn't support binary and I don't have a hosting to host it. Does anyone could give me any suggestion on what to do? -- Thanks in anyway, Franz Rogar

07 Apr '10

Hi there, I know its late to that and i should sent this earlier (its one year away), but I thought about going back sometime. So, my life changed in so many ways.. I love Arch, I defend that every time and still using that, but I couldnt stay in TU position just in name, I felt I should participate to still here. Was a learning time be part of Arch TU, some friends and many much learning. Sorry for any problem in that time. I love all people who help me and every one I couldnt know yet. If future reserve for me more time and less troubles, maybe I came back help Arch again. For now, this is a thank you, all of you. :) -- Kessia Pinheiro Linux System Administrator

[aur-general] Community packages up for grabs.
by Eric Bélanger 06 Apr '10

06 Apr '10

Hi, This message is addressed to the TU. I just set myself inactive. To make things easier, I'm putting my community packages up for adoption. Please ask me before adopting them as there might be some that I want to keep for when I'll be back. Most (maybe all?) of them would be available though. Thanks, Eric.

[aur-general] Fwd: taking maintenance of gstreamer0.10-timidity archlinux package
by Hervé Cauwelier 06 Apr '10

Hi, http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=27615 The maintainer has not responded for a month. The package was already flagged as out of date for months. I successfully compiled version 0.10.17-1 and I want to maintain it. Please orphan it so I can take over maintenance.

[aur-general] Package Updates
by Joshua Dobiac 06 Apr '10

06 Apr '10

I was installing a package that was out-of-date, but I'm not sure how to contact the package manager to update it. A search for the package reveals that it has already been flagged as out-of-date. Basically, what I want to know is: if the package maintainer is not updating the package, is there a way to resubmit the package with an update or otherwise take over management of the package? I don't want to step on anyone's toes and it's a small fix, but it's a pain to have an install fail and then have to find the problem and fix it and I'd like help anyone else (though the universe of individuals is probably 2) who might try to use the package in the future. Best Regards, Joshua Dobiac

[aur-general] Newbie question about updating package
by Franz Rogar 05 Apr '10

05 Apr '10

Hello, I've just finished patching fontforge-cvs PKGBUILD using libpng14 patch in stable. I'd upload it but I've an important question: If I send the package it will update the current one? It uses the same pkg name. Or do I need to do something prior? Main differences between this and the "out-of-date" flagged one in AUR are: - It's a "true" cvs package. Old one just pick a dated release. - It applies libpng14 patch from stable release so it can be built again now that libpng14 is the default version. - It enables type3 support, devicetables, python scripting and double precision. -- Thanks in anyway, Franz Rogar

[aur-general] [community] rebuilds
by Evangelos Foutras 05 Apr '10

05 Apr '10

Hi fellow TUs, I took the liberty to rebuild lots of packages that weren't mine. I hope I didn't mess anything up, but in case I did and you get a bug report regarding the new packages, feel free to re-assign it to me. I wouldn't expect someone else to cleanup my mess. Now, the list is almost finished, with around 13 [community] packages remaining. I'm afraid most of them don't build cleanly and probably require some troubleshooting and patching. Furthermore, there are 4 packages with sub-1% usage which I feel should just be removed. These are: dvbshout (0.04 %) mmap (0.04 %) netsurf (0.77 %) rusxmms (0.64 %) What do you think; shall we drop them? Cheers. :)
