[aur-general] Package removal
by Maxime Gauduin 15 Jun '12

15 Jun '12

Hi guys, Could you remove this package: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=55226 ? Made it because of the version requirement in scilab, but it won't compile against some other arch packages, so people are better off using scilab-bin. Thx in advance. -- Alucryd

Greetings, With the latest kernel update to 3.4.2 i got a message from pacman that vhba-module needed kernle < 3.4 (vhba module is needed for cdemu ). I installed vhba-module from community-testing which is build for 3.4 kernel and have encountered no problems. How can users/non-developers help with sign offs for community-testing ?

[aur-general] Structure and naming of packages
by Mateusz Loskot 15 Jun '12

15 Jun '12

Hi, (I'm not sure if this post belongs here or perhaps to aur-dev, sorry for confusion.) Is there any convention regarding structure and naming of packages? I have a project implemented in C, which consist of a library and collection of utilities. In Debian world, this project is split across three packages: abc0 - library abc-bin - utilities abc-devel - headers and files for developers I'd like to create a package for Arch. How should I structure? Also, I'd like to have two variants of packages: one for latest stable release and one for development upstream hosted in SVN. Shall I use -svn suffix for the latter? I have checked the Wiki of ABS, Package Development category, etc. and I haven't found answer to my questions. Any pointers? Best regards, -- Mateusz Loskot, http://mateusz.loskot.net

[aur-general] reinstalling properly an AUR app
by Arno Gaboury 13 Jun '12

13 Jun '12

Hello, I am trying to reinstall an AUR app, Texstudio. This app was working perfectly before I did yesterday a huge upgrade. I understand I must rebuilt the app with the new libpoppler-qt. I built it fine with "makepkg -i", but can't install as I get errors about files already in my filesystem (in fact all Texstudio files). When I installed first time Texstudio, I built it from source and I did not a clean install, as pacman -Q doesn't return the app in the list. How can I deal with this issue? Is there any way to force the install ? Should I uninstall first Texstudio, and how? Can I just deleted all existing files (mainly /usr/bin/texstudio, usr/share/texstudio directory and /usr/share/applications/texstudio.desktop)? I tried by renaming them to .bck, but there is still a problem with the desktop file. TY for any help.
