[aur-general] Merge grub-bios-bzr and grub-efi-x86_64-bzr into grub-bzr
by Keshav Padram 27 Jun '13

27 Jun '13

Hi, Please merge grub-bios-bzr [1] and grub-efi-x86_64-bzr [2] into grub-bzr [3]. The grub-bzr pkg matches the consolidated "grub" pkg currently in [core]. I am the current maintainer of grub-efi-x86_64-bzr andn I was the maintainer of grub-bios-bzr for some time. I have informed the current maintainer of grub-bios-bzr via comments about grub-bzr pkg. Thanks in advance. [1]: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/grub-bios-bzr/ [2]: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/grub-efi-x86_64-bzr/ [3]: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/grub-bzr/ Best Regards. Keshav Padram

I guess this is caused by uploading new packages using the burp tool. I'll fix my packages in a little bit. I'm chenxiaolong on the AUR.

[aur-general] How to contribute to AUR?
by Ralf Mardorf 26 Jun '13

26 Jun '13

Hi :) I'm new to this list. I'm uncertain, but perhaps I'll maintain audio packages, however, I've to learn how to do it, so I started with a test PKGBUILD for a non-audio app I wanted to test. IIUC what's written at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_Packaging_Standards the below example needs just the following changes to become a valid PKGBUILD: - I need to remove the # text lines, or should add useful text - remove # Contributor and add # Maintainer with my real name - should add an URL - if it shouldn't build from git/svn... I need to add a checksum *?* Regards, Ralf $ cat /usr/src/whiskermenu/PKGBUILD # text : ############################################################### # text : PKGBUILD for the first time edited on my tablet PC # text : ############################################################### # Contributor : Batpackager <info.mardorf(a)rocketmail.com> pkgname=xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin-git pkgver=20130626 pkgrel=1 pkgdesc="Alternate Xfce menu" arch=('i686' 'x86_64') license=('GPL2') makedepends=('git' 'cmake') depends=('xfce4-panel') provides=('xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin') conflicts=('xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin') _gitroot="https://github.com/gottcode/xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin.git" _gitname="xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin" build() { cd "$srcdir" msg "Connecting to https://github.com/gottcode..." if [ -d $_gitname ] ; then cd $_gitname && git pull origin msg "The local files are updated." else git clone --depth 1 $_gitroot fi msg "GIT checkout done or server timeout" msg "Starting make..." rm -rf "$srcdir/$_gitname-build" cp -R "$srcdir/$_gitname" "$srcdir/$_gitname-build" cd "$srcdir/$_gitname-build" cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr make } package() { cd "$srcdir/$_gitname-build" make DESTDIR=${pkgdir} install

Package no longer builds (upstream mirror is also gone). Additionally, last upstream release was 3 years ago, and migration to lightning is recomended by the devs. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/sunbird-branded/ The following two depend on the above mentioned package, and are therefore, deprecated (and unbuildable): https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/sunbrand/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/sunbird-i18n/ -- Hugo Osvaldo Barrera
