[aur-general] Merge request
by Zack Gold 10 Feb '14

10 Feb '14

I've moved 'boto-git' to 'python2-boto-git' because it's intended for Python 2. I'd like to now merge boto-git with python2-boto-git.

[aur-general] Package deletion request
by Joseph Carta 09 Feb '14

09 Feb '14

Hi. I've just claimed ownership to and updated the previously orphaned package extract-xiso [1]. Since the author of this program incorporated the somski mod into it, the package extract-xiso-somski [2] has been made redundant and should be deleted.

[aur-general] AUR Requests
by Michael Schubert 09 Feb '14

09 Feb '14

Hi, (Maintainers, if any, are in CC.) Could you please merge: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python2-imaging/ -> https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python2-imaging-alt/ ** Reason: PIL is being phased out by pillow; 1st is orphan and 2nd one not to be replaced like in [community] Maintainer: please add a replaces=() flag, it should replace python2-imaging and not python-imaging https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python2-socksipy-branch/ -> https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python2-socks/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python-socksipy-branch/ ** -> https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python-socks/ Reason: socksipy and -branch are dead, socks is maintained and has same API Maintainer: please let me know if you'd like to maintain the new package/why we should keep a dead branch And remove: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/sundials25/ ** Reason: sundials=2.5 current and available, package installs into /usr directly and should not be used Unsure about: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/socksipy/ ** The original socksipy is last updated 2006 and known to have multiple issues that are fixed in the new fork, should we keep this? I tested the dependencies damnvid and polly, and both work with python2-socks ** I am not the maintainer of this package. Please consider giving them some time to respond. I'd be also very happy to orphan the new packages if they like to maintain them. cheers Michael

[aur-general] Prefered way to create users/groups and handle files ownership
by Nowaker 08 Feb '14

08 Feb '14

Hey, What is the prefered way of creating users/groups and handling files ownership for AUR packages? My take is to change the file ownership (`chown`) in .install script. That's what I do in the PKGBUILDs I write myself. However, inspircd, which I adopted a few months ago takes a different approach. The previous maintainer hardcoded a UID and GID directly in the package: PKGBUILD: install -o141 -g141 -dm750 "${pkgdir}/var/log/inspircd" .install: getent group inspircd &>/dev/null || groupadd -r -g 141 inspircd getent passwd inspircd &>/dev/null || useradd -r -u 141 -g inspircd -d /var/lib/inspircd -s /bin/false inspircdl I don't like this approach - what if the user has already assigned UID 141 to other user? Then effectively inspircd and, say, Apache, are running under the same user. But maybe there is some reason behind this approach that I'm not aware of. Thanks for your help. -- Kind regards, Damian Nowak StratusHost www.AtlasHost.eu
