[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] AUR Maintenance
by Connor Behan 13 May '10

13 May '10

I read in the archives that comments were 95% repaired by Firmicus and the copy with a few illegal characters is: /home/francois/aur-20100205-1859.sql.fixed2.xz on a server to which I do not yet have access. Since the comments are not back, I gather there is more to be done. Could I please go through the comments and repair sentences that make sense? i.e. "s/Th#s wor#s for kd#4 but #ot kdemod/This works for kde4 but not kdemod/" I will do this until everything is done or the only sentences left are unintelligible. The other problem is merging this with new comments that have been posted since the update. No one knows a reliable way to do this automatically, correct? And it would require adding countless database entries by hand? I am also prepared to get started on this brute force work. I will have several hours per week to devote to it. Please give me what I need to contribute! Thanks.

Sometjing like lugaruhd-hg. Could someone do this ? Or should I reupload it under this new name and you have to erase the old one ? Thanks in advance, Julroy67

[aur-general] rt2860: proposed addition to community repository
by Sgt. Spoon 10 May '10

10 May '10

I would like to propose the addition of the AUR package rt2860 to the community repo. It contains the wireless drivers for the rt2860 chipsets, which come with all of Asus EEE PCs. This chipset is supported in the Arch install media but not in an actual fresh installation. In addition, there is no option to install it during an Arch install. Unfortunately, this means that those of us who do not have Ethernet connections available to us during installtime have no way of actually getting this card to work. As the package currently has 41 votes, I strongly recommend its inclusion in the community repo. If there are any TUs who would like to take this up, please do so. This package is hardly updated so it really shouldn't be too much of a hassle. Thanks in advance, sergeantspoon

Hello, some time ago I made a PKGBUILD for aurman project - http://developer.berlios.de/projects/aurman. The project seems to be dead since late November 2009, because no commits were done. It's still in very early stage - not usable. Please remove the package from AUR - http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=31126. Thanks David

[aur-general] Removal of the duplicate package intel-tbb_3.0
by Martin PERES 08 May '10

08 May '10

Hi everyone, Kagarrache's intel-tbb package is a duplicate of Denis's intel-tbb. It was created because Denis's package was out of date. Instead of flagging the package "out of date", Kagarrache sent a new version on AUR. Denis has now updated his package and so, we should delete intel-tbb_3.0. Denis's version: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=17322 Kagarrache's version: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=36023 Regards, Martin (aka mupuf)
