[aur-general] Adding AUR packages to [community] packages' provides
by Lukas Fleischer 26 Feb '11

26 Feb '11

Well, I'm addressing current blacklisting issues with the AUR [1]. I noticed that some of the packages in the official repos have AUR packages as provides, some of them (well, at least one of them, didn't search for more) were even added due to FRs [2]. Donnu if this applies to [core] and [extra] as well. Is that regular practice? Imho, we shouldn't do that. The AUR is something to be considered separately. If we start to care about provides/conflicts with AUR packages, we'll need to add all "-devel"/"-svn"/"-git"/"-beta" packages in the AUR to the official packages conflicts and provides as well. And we'll need to start searching for alternative repos to ensure there's no conflict with our official packages. Seriously, we should be consistent here.

[aur-general] Blacklisted - postgresql-client
by Phillip Smith 26 Feb '11

26 Feb '11

Well this is new.... "postgresql-client is on the package blacklist, please check if it's available in the official repos." postgresql-client is not in the repos, but it is 'provides' in postgresql, as per FS#16495: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/16495 How should I handle this?

[aur-general] AUR is no longer UTF-8?
by keenerd 25 Feb '11

25 Feb '11

Yesterday the AUR went down. Toofishes made a comments in #arch about restarting the server. Since this, encoding have been horribly broken. Nothing is UTF8 any more. Here is a small list of broken pages: zeitgeist, yamagi-quake2, gcc34, sendmail, l-seed, surl, open-sasc-ng, splashy-full, biblatex-biber-git These just have glitches in the comments. Visit them with a browser and you'll see � (block/question mark) everywhere. Some packages also have non-utf8 in the description. Only one of these I've found is arkanae3_2d but I'll have a better list before too long. -Kyle http://kmkeen.com
