[aur-general] Fixing a package with broken config symlinks
by Florian Bruhin 03 Jun '15

03 Jun '15

Hi, I inherited a package (agendav) for a webapplication which had the config symlinking backwards. This means: - The real config files were installed into /usr/share/webapps/foo - /etc/webapps/foo is a symlink to /usr/share/webapps/foo - backup=() in the PKGBUILD only lists etc/webapps/foo I'd like to correct this situation in an update, but that update will of course overwrite /usr/share/webapps/foo with the new version (i.e. the new symlink) and nuke the user's current config. I tried adding both the etc/ and the old usr/share path to backup=() in the hope that pacman would create a .pacsav on update, but that didn't help: https://github.com/The-Compiler/pkgbuild/blob/master/agendav/PKGBUILD diff to the broken version: https://github.com/The-Compiler/pkgbuild/commit/f5af712f76a7ed5d0869130f1f7… Currently when I update, this happens: - /etc/webapps/foo is a broken symlink because it links to /usr/share/webapps/foo (which now links to /etc/webapps/foo). - The template config from the package is installed to /etc/webapps/foo.pacnew - /usr/share/webapps/foo is now the (correct) symlink to /etc/webapps/foo - The user config in /usr/share/webapps/foo got overwritten by that symlink without a .pacnew or .pacsav (why? Is there something I did wrong?). Is there any way I could fix this mess without deleting the user's config? If you want to experiment, you can get the current broken version (-2) from the AUR, and the "fixed" one (-3) from the git repo above.

[aur-general] Anyone know when aur4.archlinux.org will be back up?
by Alan Jenkins 01 Jun '15

Hey guys, I am trying to get my packages sorted for AUR4 while I have access to my Arch computer which is only for a few more hours today but the aur4.archlinux.org site is currently down for maintenance. Anyone know when the site is due to be back online so I can set my SSH public key for my account? Thanks, Alan Jenkins

[aur-general] AUR4 migration scripts
by Florian Bruhin 01 Jun '15

01 Jun '15

Hi, I already quickly brought this up in the AUR4 notice RFC thread, but as the thread got cluttered I decided to start a new topic as well. I added links to the AUR migration scripts which were mentioned to the wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Migration_scripts If there are more scripts, feel free to add them (or let me know via mail and I will). And of course if someone wants to flesh this out more, that'd be appreciated. Other than that, feedback welcome - I *think* this is my first edit in the wiki :) Florian -- http://www.the-compiler.org | me(a)the-compiler.org (Mail/XMPP) GPG: 916E B0C8 FD55 A072 | http://the-compiler.org/pubkey.asc I love long mails! | http://email.is-not-s.ms/

[aur-general] AUR 4.0.0 migration notification
by lfleischer＠archlinux.org 01 Jun '15

01 Jun '15

Hello, This is an automated email to all AUR package maintainers. Starting from June 8th, 2015, the Arch User Repository is being migrated to a Git-based platform. If you want to continue maintaining your AUR packages, please submit them to aur4.archlinux.org before July 8th, 2015. We reserved all packages you are currently maintaining on aur.archlinux.org, such that nobody else can overwrite them. However, if you choose not to resubmit your package, we will cancel that reservation on July 8th. As of July 8th, you can submit packages that were not taken care of by their maintainers. On August 8th, the archive at aur.archlinux.org will be replaced by aur4.archlinux.org and the former aur.archlinux.org source tarballs will be made available for reference. Keep in mind to submit any package updates made between June 8th and August 8th to aur4.archlinux.org. Anything submitted to aur.archlinux.org during that period of time will be lost. For instructions on the new package submission process, please consult the Arch wiki [1]. If you encounter any bugs, please report them to the aurweb bug tracker [2]. Happy packaging! [1] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#AUR_4 [2] https://bugs.archlinux.org/index.php?project=2
