[aur-general] Request for comment on gnuplot-nox PKGBUILD
by JoKoT3 25 Mar '13

25 Mar '13

Hi, I recently adopted the gnuplot-nox ( https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/?O=0&K=gnuplot-nox) package and I would like to have your advices before publishing a new version of the PKGBUILD (this is my first package in AUR). I have read the wiki pages about arch packaging standard and AUR (eh! that is even why I am posting to the list) I mostly adapted the pkgbuild of the former maintainer so you should not fire me on the spot (I hope). PKGBUILD : http://pastebin.com/RGh7jPYA patch : http://pastebin.com/MwAQTqm2 Two main questions : - should the package "Provides" gnuplot or "Conflict" with gnuplot (from [extra]) ? - is it the right way to patch sources ? Regards, -- Jonathan Gibert Consultant www.iconsultants.fr

[aur-general] oracle-instantclient-* and instantclient-* merged?
by Mateusz Loskot 25 Mar '13

25 Mar '13

Hi, There are two sets of very similar packages for Oracle InstantClient 1) dedicated for version 11.2.0.3.0 https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/oracle-instantclient-basic/ - relies on .zip w/ binaries downloaded by user and copied into location of the unpacked package - installs into /usr - canonical 2) dedicated for version 11.2.0.2.0 https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/instantclient-basic/ - uses manual_download to grab .zip w/ binaries from Oracle, but I doubt it works as Oracle requires to accept license on the website - installs into /opt - is this a good idea? Also, - oracle-instantclient name prefix seems clearer than instantclient There is also page Oracle client page on Wiki which is based on the oracle-instantclient-basic package https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Oracle_client I wonder if and how these two packages could be either 1) merged or 2) unified, so they can be explained in the same article. Ideally, if they could be merged, but then it would be necessary to detect in PKGBUILD if copied .zip binaries are for 11.2.0.2.0 or 11.2.0.3.0 and future 11 versions, and accept all current InstantClient versions. IMHO, it's enough to check if this is 11.2 or even 11. FYI, I haven't talked to the maintainers of those packages to avoid generating noise. First, I'd like to learn what are recommended options to handle such split packages of virtually the same software. Best regards, -- Mateusz Loskot, http://mateusz.loskot.net

[aur-general] TU application from graysky

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi All. Inspired by Allan's talk @ SINFO XX, I decided to throw my hat into the ring and formally apply to be a TU. My linux history started with RH and SUSE over a decade ago. I discovered Debian and Ubuntu. I found myself wanting more control and up-to-date repos and discovered Arch. I find it and its underlying philosophies, and its community to be to my liking. I have an interest in giving back to the Arch Community though maintaining some packages in [community]. Listed below are a few of my contributions for those of you who don't recognize me from the bbs or from other interactions. I reached out to Xyne who kindly agreed to sponsor my candidacy for TU. *Maintains an unofficial repo for >2 years now (http://repo-ck.com) whose main purpose is hosting linux-ck and related packages. *Maintains ~50 PKGBUILDs within the AUR; some legacy others of my own creation. *Wiki contributions, both original content, and standardizing many popular pages; member of Wiki Maintenance Team. *Contributed several open-source utils back to the community. https://github.com/graysky2/modprobed_db https://github.com/graysky2/profile-sync-daemon https://github.com/graysky2/profile-cleaner https://github.com/graysky2/backdrop-randomizer *Active contributor to Arch bugs. *Closely related to several upstream projects including: monitorix and the ck patchset *Active member on the bbs; usually helpful ;p -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (GNU/Linux) iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJRPjyfAAoJEIigMoZe5GxMdZAH/i+5wOv8jnYwZUkD/pQrIWPB NV1+eh6+Bvfta8MLL0rSMobHSVefhD1dHpwkiyTmIHs9W2tXfWak9DsLuQaG1Tgu 4rRc0F0o3LTtcD47hsGaatIWDr0NAq2lpGo+H24o9BhNlhH5+Pyd635JUuMeiQl6 FQjeGheg82D9aSNsDJrRZONU1agI63+u2WTRcINW5iP2UkB9Nc0SsVdi/TDwDYPO m9u4v93S12CdCwT9ICCmS/UIa6UmWlbTT77Q3dOXDypumE2vaiSQ7799A8bH4Mlp PPDhoyj1uJE1KhSii8J1JAhEU3jt3w0B0QwoU2TmMRrM2KHy2lGKYC9+OuGzlmI= =mQsI -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
