[aur-general] PKGBUILD that helps with VCS upstream contribution?
by Philipp 27 May '10

27 May '10

One of the reasons why I like Arch Linux so much is that it makes it easy to work together with upstream. Through makepkg I can install the latest, even VCS, version in a sane and very comfortable way. So far I've mainly been testing, reporting bugs, stuff like that, but rarely needed to contribute any code. Now if I wanted to contribute code back to a project that uses git, how would I do that without losing the comfort and safety of makepkg? I figured it should be possible to write a PKGBUILD that gets the latest upstream changes but also integrates local changes. Sadly both my bash and git skills are minimal, so I was wondering if someone already has such a PKGBUILD, for git at least and maybe for svn as well. TIA -- Regards, Philipp

Hi, the AUR package haskell-hsdns <http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=17745> has been out-of-date for quite a while. I tried to contact the maintainers, but unfortunately they are non-responsive. Please orphan the package on AUR so that I can take over maintenance. Take care, Peter

[aur-general] Package deletion: upc (or rename to gccupc)
by Eduardo Martins Lopes 23 May '10

23 May '10

Hello all, I uploaded a package with the wrong name, the package upc should be named gccupc for UPC is a programming language for which there are several compilers (gccupc is only one of it). I already corrected in my pkgbuild and therefore would like to ask for the deletion of the previous one or to have it renamed to gccupc. Thanks in advance,-- Eduardo Martins Lopes

[aur-general] community repo "cleanup"
by Allan McRae 22 May '10

22 May '10

Hi, I was thinking that it has been almost a year since the [community] repo switched to using the main db-scripts, but there are still a large number of packages without the package architecture in their name (the old scripts removed it). It is somewhere around 1/3 of the repo (anything build before 2009-07-14). In fact, one package (datemath) was built back in 2005! Given these packages are obviously not updated much, it would be good to give them a rebuild to get new packaging policies in place such as: - get the package architecture in the file name - build with new toolchain, CFLAGS, LDFLAGS etc - compress with .xz format - convert to arch=any as necessary - $startdir usage - package() functions - ... It would also be a good time to remove old packages that are really no longer of interest from the repo. What do people think? I can create an internal TODO list for these packages that can be slowly worked through. Allan
