Replaces should never be in aur packages. It is only used by Pacman when searching the repository. There is nothing that searches replaces in the aur.

At least an automated one from the AUR? Also, since the PKGBUILD states "replaces=(python2-pyside...", shouldn't searching the AUR for python2-pyside yield python-pyside as one of the results? Finally, why does this merge make sense? It merges two *different* libraries into one; I maintained python2-pyside, but have no interest in installing the python3 version, so why is the original package deleted? -- Hugo Osvaldo Barrera A. Because it breaks the logical sequence of discussion Q. Why is top posting bad?

[aur-general] linux-next naming convention
by Dennis Borisevich 15 Sep '13

15 Sep '13

Hello, I have just become the maintainer of my first package in AUR,'linux-next'. It's name lacks -git prefix, though it is using git to fetch source code. I figure out that I have these courses of action: 1)Ask for the deletion of 'linux-next' package in favor of 'linux-next-git'; 2)Create a separate package 'linux-next-git' which uses git by fetching sources like described in Wiki page "VCS PKGBUILD Guidelines", but keep 'linux-next' and use prepare() mechanism, which will utilize 'git clone --depth=1' (less to download, useful for one-time building); 3) Don't create any new packages and just update 'linux-next' PKGBUILD like in 1). Thanks, denspirit.

Re: [aur-general] Source packages in the AUR

This package is useful when one wants to write C/C++ extensions to gawk. There's a bunch of header files available only in the source (while there is one gawkapi.h in the official gawk package, it is not sufficient for developers who want to build their own extensions). http://www.gnu.org/software/gawk/manual/html_node/Internal-File-Ops.html It works exactly the same way as linux-headers and https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ruby-source/ (Correct me if I'm wrong). They exist mainly not for general users, but for developers who want to build their own modules from scratch. Even though it is relatively unpopular to build extensions in gawk, you can't assume the source package is "useless" in any case. Just let you know what this is intended for.

Is it OK to upload PKGBUILDs like https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ga/gawk-source/PKGBUILD ?
