[aur-general] Adding a git package to AUR4
by Harley W 09 Jun '15

09 Jun '15

Hello,I'm having a lot of trouble transferring my package to AUR4. It is a git package, so after trying for about an hour to get it to work the way that is described on the wiki page, I thought I could try to push it to a separate remote repository (the aur4 repository). Is there a way to do this? I tried $ git add remote aur4 aur4.archlinux.org/savant-git.git$ git add *$ git commit -m "Initial upload to aur4"$ git push aur4 master Which said, as I expected, that aur4.archlinux.org/savant-git.git does not appear to be a git repository. Is there a way to accomplish it this way? If not, the issue I was having in the method described in the wiki was that it would keep telling me:remote: error: missing .SRCINFOEven though I committed it and I copied it into pretty much every directory, I don't understand this at all. Sorry about this question, I am still quite new to git and I've never dealt with SSH before.Thanks for any help.

[aur-general] [AUR4] Recommended procedure for merging several split packages into one pkgbase with split packages inside?
by ShadowKyogre 09 Jun '15

09 Jun '15

In the AUR, these packages are currently split off as their own separate packages without a common package base: mse-extrafoils-clights mse-extrafoils-fire mse-extrafoils-fracture mse-extrafoils-ghost mse-extrafoils-gold mse-extrafoils-jss mse-extrafoils-mosaic mse-extrafoils-old mse-extrafoils-parallel mse-extrafoils-ribbons mse-extrafoils-snow For the new AUR, I've prepared a split PKGBUILD and .SRCINFO for the AUR4 submission, but I get this error when I try to submit my finished work: Counting objects: 4, done. Delta compression using up to 4 threads. Compressing objects: 100% (4/4), done. Writing objects: 100% (4/4), 1.52 KiB | 0 bytes/s, done. Total 4 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0) remote: error: cannot overwrite package: mse-extrafoils-fracture remote: error: hook declined to update refs/heads/master To ssh://aur@aur4.archlinux.org/mse-extrafoils.git ! [remote rejected] master -> master (hook declined) error: failed to push some refs to 'ssh://aur@aur4.archlinux.org/mse-extrafoils.git' I was contemplating either filing a bunch of merge requests or a bunch of deletion requests before trying to resubmit, but there's probably a better way to handle this that I'm not sure of.

[aur-general] AUR4 migration of orphan packages
by Simon Brulhart 09 Jun '15

09 Jun '15

Hi, There are a lot of orphan packages that haven't been updated for months or years, but still work fine and could be considered useful. I understand that these packages will still be available even if nobody port them. However I don't know if the current AUR helpers will be able to see them or if they will be updated for this purpose. If not, I would be happy to adopt some of these packages to do the transition, even if I may disown most of them shortly after. I suppose that adapting the tooling (if needed) would be a better approach, but if they don't consider to do it I would find it sad to let all these packages sink into oblivion. Simon

[aur-general] Should I request deletion for packages in this transition period?
by Oon-Ee Ng 09 Jun '15

09 Jun '15

I'm only now looking at the AUR4 migration guidelines, and I only have a few packages so I've been uploading to AUR4 manually. However, in the process I've found old packages which I no longer use or wish to maintain. Some of which should may be deletion candidates. Of course, those all belong to me and hence aren't (yet) in AUR4. The announcement email I got stated that after August 8th all packages in the AUR will remain archived for reference. Should I request a deletion before that (for those packages which it really does not make sense to keep around) to reduce clutter, or will it really not make a difference?

[aur-general] [AUR4] View list of orphans

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hi, in AUR3 it was easy to see a list of all orphans. by going to the search page and just clicking "Orphans" without configuring any search, one was provided with a list of all current orphans ready to adopt. in AUR4 i tried this as well, but just got a "Error retrieving package list.". Searching for maintainer "orphan" does not work as well. is this a bug, a feature or am i missing something here? thanks to the AUR-developers for make the AUR a even more awesome place - so far i like i very much. regards georg -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQEcBAEBCAAGBQJVdazeAAoJELKHx5nAxn3sCAMIAJJuSNzDusZ4kT7uZMC7CKEy uPs/f1K/iLnlb0JlPmY1teaYaQDM6yy9cpCPrdvU7XCdpNpvnQeNpyXI0VjgP6TG f7lZr9OA1PFl3/YvH32J3bJ/PSuZV/r6gxwedoF55SdhPQBcMR8AGI5L4/7VdXdH o5vpQO89GkRB7cPQhC59FSgX8Ah2JvSB+CPLWrqJWDzVgZwFs0WaRZlKIl3Yzbsw ht1Ush3zj9PaSuq0nk1e4TKQ6gR+bq1YSwIQPVnpW4mR93ytXmcZ9uvC+7UvYoa0 L34m9z6HWqWYMnH0QSJjjt+zcFMsxQftxuhgbpd0khplczg7Eq4jL1VY7wtz+5I= =V855 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
