[aur-general] [Delete request] virtinst-git
by Moritz Lipp 25 Nov '13

25 Nov '13

Hello, Since virtinst has been merged into virt-manager, the virinst-git [1] package is obsolete and may be deleted (since there is no source in the repository anyway anymore). Kind regards [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/virtinst-git/

[aur-general] Disown terminology-git
by Doug Newgard 24 Nov '13

24 Nov '13

The terminology-git [1] package doesn't build right now because of a change in the pkgver, it tries to include a '-' and makepkg errors out. I made a comment and marked the package out of date, then when I got no response to that, I sent an email to the maintainer. No response for two weeks now, so I'm requesting it be disowned so I can update it. Cravix, the current maintainer, also has other packages that I'll take care of if needed, but right now there's no major problems with them. I'll send a request if it becomes necessary. He was active up until a few months ago, so I'm hoping he returns. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/terminology-git/

Re: [aur-general] Deletion for enigmail?

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 That makes sense, thanks. It's purely an extension. Right off their website: Enigmail is a security extension to Mozilla Thunderbird and Seamonkey. It enables you to write and receive email messages signed and/or encrypted with the OpenPGP standard. There's also a -bin package that follows the same naming pattern I believe. Maybe rename both?

[aur-general] bluez4 has been dropped
by Andreas Radke 24 Nov '13

24 Nov '13

Bluez4 stack related packages have been dropped from extra repo. Please remove all depending packages in our community repo (Blueman comes to my mind if it is not fully ported to bluez5). Bluez4 should not be picked up into the community repo. If people can't make their to devices work with current bluez5 they should file bugs to our tracker and work with upstream to solve the problems. -Andy

[aur-general] Long check() function in AUR packages
by Anatol Pomozov 23 Nov '13

23 Nov '13

Hi, I am a big proponent of using automation testing. Tests saved me many times at my $dayjob projects. That is why I strongly believe that every arch package should have check() function - it is better find a problem at build time, rather than get a crash while running the application. But some projects have quite large test suites. v8,rethinkdb,tup-git are examples - their tests take 10 minutes or even more. Some AUR users complain that it is too long. Even worse - there can be flaky tests that work fine for me but fail for some users. What is the best practices in this situation? I see a few possible answers: 1) Tell users relax and enjoy running tests. Tests are for their own good. 2) Tell users to disable (!check) option in /etc/makepkg.conf 3) Maybe AUR install scripts (like yaourt) should not run tests at installation time? Or at least make it configurable? What do you think is the best option?

[aur-general] staticlibs in PKGBUILD?
by oliver 22 Nov '13

22 Nov '13

Hello, some people mourned on AUR that a package that I maintain (adopted from other peoples) does not use "staticlibs" option. before they mentioned it I didn't knew about it. Is this a new PKGBUILD-option, or did I just have not seen it before? What does this option do? I found the description for the option, it says: staticlibs - Leave static library (.a) files in packages Will static libs be only part of the package, if this option is set? So, without it, only shared libs will be put into the install package and static libs will be leftout? Can somebody please explain me this option? Ciao, Oliver

Hi, I would like ask for a merge of https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/non-suite-git/ into https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/non-daw-git/ Both were providing the same package. I emailed the author of non-suite-git, and he agreed to merge both packages into non-daw-git. Thanks, lieven
