[aur-general] How would I implement this?
by Aaron France 31 Aug '13

31 Aug '13

Hi, I've wrote a couple of basic PKGBUILD files which simply pull from github and compile but this time I need something a bit more. Basically I need to pull in some dependencies from other repositories (easy) and then invoke a command via one of the Common Lisp implementations which may be available on the system. I'm not sure how to set up the dependencies for that. Any ideas? Aaron

And versioned pymouse was deprecated in favor for the git version. But the git version https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pymouse-git has a maintainer! Although last update was 2011-11-04 ------ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/dpkg-ubuntu/ Source link not available. Long time ood ------ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ntfs-3g-fuse-internal/ should propably merged into https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ntfs-3g-fuse I go along with the commenter that the packages are similar (internal flag) and the latter is better maintained ------ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python-grin/ should be merged into https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python2-grin/ Grin seems to support only python2 (Segfaults with python3) On a sidenote. There is also another package https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/grin/ ------ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/programmer-dvorak-console-map/ should be merged into https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/programmers-dvorak It's more up to date and maintained ------ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/qemu-diskp/ Source and page dead. No alternative found ------ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/englab-cimg/ Superceeded by https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/libenglab-cimg ------ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/englab-plot/ Superceeded by https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/libenglab-plot ------ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/englab-matrix/ Replaced and not used ------ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/englab-special_functions/ Not used ------ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/khanacademy/ Deprecated and replaced by youtube-viewer ------ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/needles-git/ Repo gone and I couldn't find a fork. ------ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/octave-suitesparse/ Octave from [extra] uses suitesparse ------ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/omnetpp4/ should be merged into https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/omnetpp/ It's more maintained and up-to-date ____________ And here some packages where I'm not sure if they can be removed or not: ------ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xf86-video-ati-6.14.2/ Orphaned and ood ------ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pacman.manfr/ Orphaned and ood ------ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/rmlint/ Dunno about that. -git is more active and due to missing tags/releases this cannot be updated. IIRC the download section on github was deprecated in that case ------ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/quick-boot/ Upstream is gone, so is the wiki. Package may work, but without a docu it seems to be risky. ------ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/aeskulap/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/aeskulap-dcmtkcompat/ The aeskulap package seems to conflict dcmtk and dreieck made a new package to avoid this. As this package is more maintained than the other, they should propably be merged. But the name from the first would be better. ------ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/grass-svn/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/grass7-svn The first has the better name, but the latter is maintained and up to date ____________ Packages that should be merged/removed, but not possible: ------ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/coin-utils/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/coin-or-utils/ Both packages are the same. Though the later was more up-to-date in the past. I suppose the first wasn't updated and someone uploaded the second. In case of naming, there should only exist one of those and more packages are uploaded as coin-*. I wrote a comment and suggested a change. ------ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/coin-clp/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/coin-or-clp/ Same story like the above Best regards Lex

[aur-general] Merge request
by Hugo Osvaldo Barrera 30 Aug '13

30 Aug '13

Please merge python-shiboken into shiboken. The shiboken package is older and shiboken is an application, not a library, so it as the proper naming scheme. Both packages provide the same software, and there are no particular differences in build flags. -- Hugo Osvaldo Barrera
