[aur-general] Promoting use of .AURINFO
by Lukas Fleischer 18 Jan '14

18 Jan '14

Hi, I think we should promote the use of .AURINFO files. Currently, only a very small fraction of packages use it. A basic description of its format can be found in the commit message of AUR commit 5a11373 [1]. Regardless of whether we keep that format or use something entirely different for metadata later, it is good to have this information stored somewhere and the format is simple enough to migrate to another format later. I think we should at least come up with a tiny tool to generate this kind of metadata post-makepkg and put it into the source tarball, then add some information to the submission section in the official AUR wiki article [2]. Does anyone have plans to write such a tool? Did anyone already integrate this functionality into an existing AUR uploader? If no one steps up, I might attempt to write one on my own in a couple of days. I might also add a deprecation warning for source tarballs without .AURINFO files in one of the upcoming AUR releases. Regards, Lukas [1] https://projects.archlinux.org/aur.git/commit/?id=5a1137363cb358593a64e0e6d… [2] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR_User_Guidelines#Submitting_packages

[aur-general] Orphan or delete request: python2-postfix-policyd-spf
by Rich Li 17 Jan '14

17 Jan '14

Hi, The 'python2-postfix-policyd-spf' package [1] has been flagged out of date since 2012-02-28 and hasn't been updated since 2011-01-20. I've updated the PKGBUILD for a newer version (albeit not the current version) and posted the diff in the comments, but the maintainer has not responded. I would request for this package to be orphaned so I can bring it up-to-date and maintain it, but the 'python-postfix-policyd-spf' package [2] looks to be a well-maintained version that uses Python 3 instead of Python 2. If there's value in keeping a Python 2 version around, then I request the package be orphaned, but if there's not, then I suggest the package be deleted in favor of [2]. Personally, I vote for deletion. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python2-postfix-policyd-spf/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python-postfix-policyd-spf/ Thanks, -- Rich

[aur-general] Orphan request: python-h5py
by Rich Li 17 Jan '14

Hi, I'm requesting for the 'python-h5py' package [1] to be orphaned so I can take over as maintainer. It's been flagged out of date since 2013-06-14. I've created an updated PKGBUILD and posted it in the package comments a few weeks ago, but there has been no response from the current maintainer.

[aur-general] Please Review: mock-git: Mock takes an SRPM and builds RPM packages from it in a chroot
by Peter Littmann 16 Jan '14

16 Jan '14

I just uploaded this tool and please you to send me your comments about the included PKGBUILD. Will this be okay in this form or should it better be improved and what? The check runs for a while but then ended with failures but I think these are somewhere in Enterprise Linux cause the fedora seems not to be a problem. Thanks a lot for all your works in AUR.

Hi, Could mingw-w64-libftdi1 be renamed to mingw-w64-libftdi https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/mingw-w64-libftdi1/ That way it'll be consistent with the renaming in extra repo: https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/libftdi/ Regards, xan.
