[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in the comments for ttf-google-webfonts[1], this has caused all sorts of confusion and messages about the package being out-of-date or having invalid checksums.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.

If I don't hear back within one week, I will assume that you no longer wish to maintain these packages and will take them under my maintainership. (Additionally, if anyone would, after this one week period, like to be the maintainer for these that was NOT the AUR3 maintainer, please let me know at that point in time).

[aur-general] Account suspended, no reason given.
by Keith Henderson Jr 01 Sep '15

01 Sep '15

I tried signing into my AUR account when I was greeted with this: http://i.imgur.com/qMjEz2Z.jpg What bothers me is that there isn't *any* information given as to why, and there doesn't seem to be a way to dispute this suspension. I wasn't given a reason, a warning, or anything; just a straight up suspension. I'm assuming I was suspended because I accidentally marked a package as out-of-date. I couldn't find a way to undo it, maybe I should have commented, but I find the punishment a little harsh.

[aur-general] Total mess after aur4 migration...
by John D Jones III 31 Aug '15

31 Aug '15

Ugh: Well over a hundred of my pkgbuilds are broken because of missing dependencies for pkgbuilds that never made the migration. So far, it looks like a list of ~30 but, my 'build' server is still iterating through my current list installing ( or attempting to install ) everything I maintain. I should note that, of the ~30 thus far, is only top level dependencies, I fear the list is going to be somewhat larger when all is said and done. I will attempt to rectify each of these as I come across them during the week, with a larger focus this holiday weekend. That said, if you come across any of my ( well anyone's ) pkgbuilds that are calling for a dependency that doesn't exist on AUR or the official repos, just mark it out of date and put the pkgbuild(s) name missing in the comments. If... you so desire to create the dependent pkgbuild yourself, I'd appreciate it if you could send me an email to my AUR account's email found on my user page informing me about it, so I can pull it from my 'missing' list. Most of the packages are perl modules, but I've found problems with some of the nodejs packages, and one or two of the theme pkgbuilds were in the 'failure to install' list. -- Thanks, John D Jones III UNIX Zealot; Perl Lover unixgeek1972(a)gmail.com jnbek1972(a)gmail.com http://zoelife4u.org/ Where Earth and Spirit Unite

I'm trying to submit avr-binutils-atmel from AUR3. It has a +600kB patch file that exceeds the size limit. Please increase the limit or tell me how to work around this. -- Thanks, Jonathan Kotta Hofstadter's Law: It always takes longer than you expect, even when you take into account Hofstadter's Law.
