[aur-general] perl: symbol lookup error: Util.so: undefined symbol: Perl_xs_apiversion_bootcheck
by Ralf Mardorf 10 Jul '15

10 Jul '15

Hi, has somebody an idea what to do? I added a comment to https://aur4.archlinux.org/packages/shutter-bzr/ : "I had 1272-3 from AUR 3 installed and it worked, but seemingly related to pearl upgrades it doesn't work anymore. After rebuilding from AUR 3 first and then from AUR 4 shutter still doesn't run. $ shutter /usr/bin/perl: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/auto/List/Util/Util.so: undefined symbol: Perl_xs_apiversion_bootcheck Rebuilding perl-scalar-list-utils from AUR 3 git fails. The PKGBUILD isn't provided by AUR 3, AUR 4 or the official repositories. $ makepkg -s --skipchecksums ==> Making package: perl-scalar-list-utils 1.38-3 (Thu Jul 9 18:02:07 CEST 2015) ==> Extracting sources... -> Extracting Scalar-List-Utils-1.38.tar.gz with bsdtar ==> Starting build()... Checking if your kit is complete... /usr/bin/perl: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/auto/List/Util/Util.so: undefined symbol: Perl_xs_apiversion_bootcheck ==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().

[aur-general] Blacklist removal request for python2-hglib
by Erik Johnson 09 Jul '15

09 Jul '15

I am the owner of python2-hglib, and I would like to submit a PKGBUILD that builds both python2 and python3 packages, but cannot due to the fact that python2-hglib is being rejected by the git hook on aur4.archlinux.org. I already submitted this PKGBUILD, but had messed up the naming of the package, and only noticed this blacklist issue when I tried to correct the issue. Can I get the blacklist removed so that I can submit my corrected PKGBUILD providing both python-hglib and python2-hglib? -- -Erik "For me, it is far better to grasp the universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring." -- Carl Sagan

[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] PKGBUILD that downloads ilegal content
by Hugo Osvaldo Barrera 07 Jul '15

07 Jul '15

There's a PKGBUILD[1] on the AUR that downloads a binary that is illegal to distribute (due to licensing, it may only be distributed in source form). IMHO, it's a bit of a grey area if the PKGBUILD is legal or not (I believe it is not in some jurisdictions), but anyone running it is receiving illegal content, so I don't think we should keep it around. I put up a deletion request[2] for this, and the response was "The AUR does not distribute binaries.". While this is true, it does distribute the PKGBUILD for downloading the ilegal binary. This is not a case of "the package can be used to do something possibly illegal", this is a case of "this script was tailored exclusively and with the sole objective of distributing something illegal, and can only be used for that".
