[aur-general] ttf-google-webfonts{,-distilled,-git,-hg} mess
by Jason St. John 19 Jun '19

19 Jun '19

I am the current maintainer of the AUR package ttf-google-webfonts-hg[4], and I'm bothered by the mess of various packages there are for Google's Web Fonts project. It's not at all KISS in its current state. There are currently four different AUR packages[1][2][3][4] that essentially supply the same files, and all four packages conflict with each other. Around August of 2012, the package named ttf-google-webfonts[1] was orphaned, and user w0ng created a GitHub repository[5] that mirrors the Mercurial repository[6] on Google Code (why?). Then, the new maintainer changed the original ttf-google-webfonts package from a VCS-type package that simply lacked "-hg" in the name to a package that pulls tarballs from w0ng's GitHub repo[5]. As you can see in the comments for ttf-google-webfonts[1], this has caused all sorts of confusion and messages about the package being out-of-date or having invalid checksums. To get around these issues, user epinephrine created the package ttf-google-webfonts-git[3] that clones w0ng's GitHub repo[5] instead of pulling tarballs from it, which significantly reduces the maintenance required on the package. Then, user Gently created a package named ttf-google-webfonts-distilled[2] that pulls a tarball from w0ng's GitHub repo[5] and only installs a small subset of the fonts therein. Shortly after ttf-google-webfonts[1] was changed from being a Mercurial-based package and not liking the direction that the package was taking, I reuploaded the original ttf-google-webfonts package as ttf-google-webfonts-hg[4] for people that simply wanted the old package back that uses the actual Google Web Fonts repository to download the files. To clean up this mess, I propose that ttf-google-webfonts-distilled[2] and ttf-google-webfonts-git[3] be deleted outright, for what should be obvious reasons. I also propose that ttf-google-webfonts[1] be deleted because of how frequently the Web Fonts project is updated and because the project lacks version numbers. If people really feel strongly about keeping that maintenance nightmare, then let them have it, but I really don't see what advantage it provides over the original ttf-google-webfonts-hg[4] other than one less makedepends. I apologize for the huge email, but this situation really is a mess.

[aur-general] downgrade, resp. http://repo-arm.archlinuxcn.org
by Ralf Mardorf 21 Jul '15

21 Jul '15

Hi, "downgrade - Bash script for downgrading one or more packages to a version in your cache or the A.R.M." - https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/downgrade/ I suspect that http://repo-arm.archlinuxcn.org stopped to provide new downgrades a while ago. Is there any information about what's going on? Regards, Ralf

[aur-general] [AUR4] Single binary package for different architectures
by Rudy Matela 08 Jul '15

08 Jul '15

Hello, I am importing a PKGBUILD for something that has only a binary release. More specifically, a binary release for i686 and another for x86_64. In the old AUR, I was packaging it using an if clause to choose which release to download depending on the architecture -- this way, I can have a single package for both architectures. More or less like this: if [ ${CARCH} = 'x86_64' ]; then source=("http://example.com/release-${pkgver}-x86_64.tar.gz") md5sums=('00112233445566778899aabbccddeeff') else source=("http://example.com/release-${pkgver}-i386.tar.gz") md5sums=('ffeeddccbbaa99887766554433221100') fi Running mksrcinfo fails with the error: /path/PKGBUILD: line XX: [: =: unary operator expected "line XX" points to the line containing the if. Are there some guildelines for packaging something like this? How could I make mksrcinfo work? Is there any way to generate the .SRCINFO file manually to conform to the dual-binary release described above? (or... should I not be doing this at all?) -- Rudy

[aur-general] password cracker program in AUR
by LoneVVolf 06 Jul '15

06 Jul '15

Hi, While browsing AUR4 orphaned pacakges, i noticed cudahashcat with description "Worlds fastest password cracker with dictionary mutation engine" . There are atleast 2 more packages from the same upstream, http://hashcat.net/oclhashcat/ . I realise it and can be useful for people that forgot their own password, there are many illegal/immoral uses for it. Should we allow such programs in AUR ? LVV

[aur-general] Thinking about repackaging... Should I?
by Giovanni Santini 30 Jun '15

30 Jun '15

Hello everybody, I'm actually the maintainer of the gcc44-multilib package, that can be found here: https://aur4.archlinux.org/packages/gcc44-multilib/ After taking a look at the gcc49-multilib package, I had thoughts about rewriting the PKGBUILD or not. How could I choose about this? I just want to know what do you think about this specific package, but also in general (if in the future I'll have the same problem, what should I do?). -- Giovanni Santini My blog: http://giovannisantini.tk My code: https://github.com/ItachiSan My GPG: 2FADEBF5

[aur-general] Error on trying to migrate 2 python packages
by Eduardo Machado 29 Jun '15

29 Jun '15

I am having some trouble when trying to update 2 of my packages to AUR4. They are python-sievelib and python-rrdtool. I proceeded like all the others, but when i try to push i receive this message bellow: Connection closed by 5.9.250.164 fatal: Could not read from remote repository. Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists. The only thing that they differ from others is that they are python2 only, but i used a model with packagebase and just commented out the python3 part, lasting only the python2 part. Could it be messing the AUR4? Can anyone enlighten me? Best regards, Eduardo.
