[aur-general] Request to orphan foobar2000
by Joe Davison 04 May '13

04 May '13

I emailed the maintainer of the "foobar2000" package on the 3rd of April. I'm yet to receive a response. Comments on the package itself pretty much all constitute begging him to disown or update the package. He's nowhere to be seen. I'd like to take over maintenance of the package.

This definitely seems like something makepkg should detect and handle automatically Are the .AURINFO files here to stay?

[aur-general] makepkg patch for git@bitbucket.org urls
by Myles English 04 May '13

04 May '13

Hi, Either I am using makepkg or wrong (how?) or I have a patch that might be useful. I was having trouble using this source line: sources=(dolfin::git://git@bitbucket.org:mylese/dolfin.git) which leads to this git command: $ git clone --mirror git://git@bitbucket.org:mylese/dolfin.git /home/myles/tmp/sources/dolfin and this error: "fatal: Unable to look up git(a)bitbucket.org (port mylese) (Servname not supported for ai_socktype)" Omitting the "git://" protocol, i.e.: sources=(dolfin::git@bitbucket.org:mylese/dolfin.git) leads to the "local" protocol being used and then "==> ERROR: dolfin was not found in the build directory and is not a URL" Changing makepkg like this: diff --git a/makepkg b/makepkg index 45a702e..310e5ef 100755 --- a/makepkg +++ b/makepkg @@ -269,6 +269,10 @@ get_protocol() { # strip leading filename local proto="${1##*::}" printf "%s\n" "${proto%%://*}" + elif [[ $1 = *@bitbucket* ]]; then + # strip leading filename + local proto="${1##*::}" + printf "%s\n" "${proto%%@bitbucket*}" else printf "%s\n" local fi allows this sources line to be used: sources=(dolfin::git@bitbucket.org:mylese/dolfin.git) Myles

I ran `makepkg --source` to gen the AUR package but found no traces of the .AURINFO file therein. Unsurprisingly, the AUR did not pickup on this when I uploaded the corresponding nvidia-ck-313.30-5.src.tar.gz package. Are users expected to manually add .AURINFO to the src.tar.gz post makepkg? Thanks for the clarification.

Hi, I'm terribly sorry to bother you with this, but I forgot my AUR login (already reset the password) and I'd like to update a PKGBUILD in AUR. How can I recover the username associated with this email address?
