[aur-general] How should *-devel packages generally be handled?
by Ng Oon-Ee 16 Mar '11

16 Mar '11

Package foo exists in [extra], and foo-devel in the AUR. foo-devel is obviously based off unstable tarball releases (otherwise it would be foo-git, foo-svn, foo-hg or similar). So let's say foo is at version 4.0 (stable), should foo-devel stay at 3.9 (the last beta/rc/unstable release) or update to 4.0? Just a general question. My gnucash-devel package is currently pretty much identical to the one in [extra], and it does seem a bit unnecessary because the project itself does not currently have unstable releases.

Hi, The maintainer of these two packages is not taking care of these packages and there is someone willing to do it (see the comments there). Please orphan them, it is blocking the package biblatex-biber! Thank you, Victor

[aur-general] AUR 1.8.1 - Can No Longer Upload Packages
by Tony C 14 Mar '11

14 Mar '11

Prior to AUR 1.8.1 being deployed, I could upload a *.tar.gz containing my PKGBUILD to AUR. Now with AUR 1.8.1, here I am trying to upload an updated PKGBUILD which I have verified does exist within my *.tar.gz - yet the AUR web-interface refuses to acknowledge that my PKGBUILD exists as I get stumped with *"**Error trying to unpack upload - PKGBUILD does not exist." *Does this sound like a possible bug with AUR 1.8.1? I would like to think I have been quite diligent with the whole AUR process, but as I said this little road block has got me stumped with AUR 1.8.1 -- Tony

[aur-general] some packages to adopt
by Gour 14 Mar '11

14 Mar '11

Hiya, I spent almost 4 years with Archlinux (after fighting with Gentoo for more than 5 years), and although it serves me very nicely, I'm going to put (Free)PC-BSD on my desktop very soon. I've few small packages which I maintain (most of them which I maintained I already put under ownership of arch-haskell team) and which are ready for adoption by some kind soul... Here is the list: - aspell-hr - bacula-postgresql - bzr-git - emacs-d-mode - mkgmap-svn - python-simpletal - python2-simpletal - python2-htsql I wish you all the best and maybe we'll see you again sometime in the future...In Linux-land, Arch is definitely the most pleasing experience which we had. Sincerely, Gour -- “In the material world, conceptions of good and bad are all mental speculations…” (Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu) http://atmarama.net | Hlapicina (Croatia) | GPG: CDBF17CA
