[aur-general] [Announcement] First public git repo of the complete AUR.
by Thomas Dziedzic 22 Feb '11

22 Feb '11

Hey there Archers, I decided to work on this little project over the weekend. It is a complete git clone of the AUR from the source and it will be updated regularly (at least once a day) though probably as frequent as 30minutes (please see `Side Notes' for explanation). What this means is that history for the AUR will now be possible! Also, for those of you wanting to have an abs like tree for all of the aur, it is now possible. I hope this opens up new opportunities, and new possibilities for everyone. To get the complete git repo, run: git clone git://pkgbuild.com/aur.git The web interface is at: http://pkgbuild.com/git/aur.git/ Also, please take a look at the official readme at: http://pkgbuild.com/~td123/readme Special Thanks to Ioni for enabling the git server & Bluewind for setting up the web interface. Cheers! -Thomas Dziedzic Side Note: Although it will be updated at least once a day, it will most likely be updated more frequently (around 30 minute intervals with a script), I just can't guarantee that for now. Work is ongoing to automate the sync with the aur tree, but at this moment, there is no secure way of doing this. Automating the sync will guarantee the intervals between syncs, I am aiming for around 30 minute to 3 hour intervals between syncs. A final goal might be to get continuous updates. Enjoy! =)

Hi, please delete the netbeans-full [1] package. It is unmaintained and just calls the installer instead packaging properly. Regards, Michael [1] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=38345

[aur-general] PKGBUILD 'backup' function won't work
by Daniel Lin 21 Feb '11

21 Feb '11

I made a grub4dos-svn PKGBUILD. I want /etc/grub4dos.conf and /boot/grub/menu.lst be proper backup. But, I found it won't work. If my menu.lst exist, it won't appear menu.lst.pacnew. If I remove my package. It wont keep menu.lst.orig I wrote the following line on PKGBUILD. backup=(etc/grub4dos.conf boot/grub/menu.lst)

by Martti Kühne 20 Feb '11

hello calimero hello list pyportmidi [1] has been renamed to python-portmidi [2]. I guess it's up for deletion, since it doesn't even use the current python2 naming. CC goes to the owner of the package. cheers! mar77i [1] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=35450 [2] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=46350
