[aur-general] PKGBUILD using bzr for launchpad acess
by Christophe Chapuis 15 Aug '10

15 Aug '10

Hello all, I have recently proposed a new prototype for the bzr handling in a PKGBUILD. You'll find it attached. It also "solves" a problem related to the use of makepkg with launchpad. Indeed, if you are already logged in in launchpad when contacting the bzr server, the "launchpad" plugin of bzr will automatically try to connect using ssh. This will fail because the build is done inside a fakeroot environment, where ssh cannot create the /root/.ssh directory... The solution proposed in that PKGBUILD is to never use the "lp:" URI style. Instead, we use the following command: "bzr --no-plugins pull http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~user/project/branch" Please find attach the proposed PKGBUILD-bzr.proto file which I just proposed for inclusion in the "abs" package. If you do the changes proposed in that PKGBUILD compared to yours, then it will solve the problem related to launchpad. Note that PKGBUILD not accessing a launchpad server are of course not problematic. Please tell me if you think my proposal if OK or if we should use another procedure to do that; I'm quite new to all this AUR procedures, and I hope I don't any kind of rude shortcut here :) Cheers, Tofe

[aur-general] Exchanging glest with megaglest
by Sven-Hendrik Haase 15 Aug '10

15 Aug '10

Development on glest has been halted and due to that the megaglest fork has been started. I'd like to drop glest to AUR and move megaglest to community in its place. I feel this is the right thing to do since any player would want the more featureful and actively developed version. If nobody is going to hate me for it, I'm going to move it in 1-2 days. -- Sven-Hendrik

Please delete the package systemd-initscripts-git, which I was, until recently, the owner of. It backs up onto a git repo (also mine) which is no longer useful. Thanks, dave reisner

[aur-general] TUs adopting packages from the AUR
by Stijn Segers 14 Aug '10

14 Aug '10

Guys, When I saw this discussion about sage-mathematics I was just wondering what is customary when a TU wants to adopt packages that are not his and are maintained by someone in the AUR. I had a couple of those (remmina-plugins and freerdp) and from one day to another my packages were 'gone' from AUR. Only after that some TU sent me a message that he had taken my packages. There was nothing in the AUR ML about moving it. Is this how this is usually done? I know developers aren't great communicators, but it sure struck me as impolite, rude even.

[aur-general] python packages in [community-testing]
by Allan McRae 14 Aug '10

14 Aug '10

Hi, With the approaching python rebuild I would like to get all python related packages out of [community-testing]. As far as I can tell, there are only three: bzrtools - seems to be an update from April rotting away. python-configobj - put in testing for arch=any conversion back in March... python-scipy - this is screwy... the version in [community-testing] has the same pkgrel-pkgver as that in [community] but they are different packages. Can these be moved/fixed. Thanks, Allan

[aur-general] Please disown haskell-{funcmp, hopenssl, hsdns, hsemail, hsyslog}
by Peter Simons 12 Aug '10

12 Aug '10

Hi, I am the principal author of these packages: haskell-funcmp http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=18122 haskell-hopenssl http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=17743 haskell-hsdns http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=17745 haskell-hsemail http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=17746 haskell-hsyslog http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=17751 In March 2010, I published updates to these packages on Hackage and marked the corresponding entries in AUR out-of-date. Nothing happened. In May, I added comments to the AUR pages, asking Don Stewart to please update the PKGBUILDs, but nothing happened. In June, I posted to this very mailing list and requested that the packages please be disowned, but was referred to the Arch-Haskell mailing list instead. So I posted there, asking whether those packages could please be updated. Naturally, nothing happened. By now, all of these packages have been out-of-date for over 4 months. So ... could you PLEASE disown them so that I can take over maintenance? Take care, Peter

[aur-general] masqmail 0.3 with no backward compatibility
by Matthias Matousek 10 Aug '10

10 Aug '10

Hello, I am currently maintaining the masqmail package in aur. masqmail is a small mail transfer agent. Last week a new version 0.3.0 was released which has no compatibility to the 0.2 branch. The masqmail developer recommends users who already use masqmail to stick with the 0.2 branch and new users to take the 0.3 branch. To make that possible there needs to be a package for each branch in the aur. I'm not sure how I should handle that. I was thinking about creating a second package "masqmail-0.3" in addition to the currently existing package "masqmail". I wasn't able to find anything about such issues in the packaging guidelines. Are there any suggestions how this should be handled? Thanks, matou
