[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in the comments for ttf-google-webfonts[1], this has caused all sorts of confusion and messages about the package being out-of-date or having invalid checksums.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] TU Application: Dan Printzell
by Dan Printzell 08 Aug '17

08 Aug '17

Hi Arch people. My name is Dan Printzell, but I often go by Wild/Vild or when I use an old account, WildN00b. I'm writing this TU application because I want to maintain the dlang packages that are currently orphaned or being dropped from [community]. I'm being sponsored by Johannes Löthberg. A little about me. I'm 21 years old programmer from Sweden. I'm currently studying game programming at BTH. On my freetime I'm usually code on my operating system that I'm writing in D from scratch [1]. I usually stream this development on my twitch channel [2]. The first time I touched Linux I believe was back in '08, when I was about 12. I order those free CD with Ubuntu and played around with it a lot. After that I have been switching between Windows and Linux distroes as my main driver depending on if I wanted to be productive and code, or if wanted to play games. I started to use Arch maybe 5-6 years ago, where the latest 4 years I have been using it as my main driver for all my computers. I think I choose Arch because pacman made sense to me compared to apt-{get,cache,whatever}. I created my first package about 3 years ago for my custom bar, but it is long gone after the AUR3 update. Around the same time I started to use dlang as my main language and I started to maintain a few -git packages for the different helper tools, and when the none -git packages got orphaned or dropped from [community] I took over them. If I were to become a TU I would want to maintain all the dlang packages that are orphaned in [community] [3]. I would also like to move these packages to [community]: - dcd [4] - dfmt [5] - dscanner [6] - dub [7] - workspace-d [8] TL;DR I use the D programming language, so I want to maintain it.

[aur-general] Hello from Jethro, and could someone take a look at my first pkgbuild?
by J3thro 31 Jul '17

31 Jul '17

Hi folks, I am very happy that I finally get the chance to join AUR community and contribute something. I just adopted an orphan AUR package and submitted my first pkgbuild (see https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pycharm-community/). Is there anyone willing to double check that I didn't make stupid mistakes? Regards,

[aur-general] TU question
by Dan Printzell 24 Jul '17

24 Jul '17

Hi, my name is Dan and I'm currently reading up on what is needed to become a TU. I'm doing this because I'm interested in maintaining the dlang packages, now that Dicebot left. But before I decide anything I want to know what is needed from me and how the whole process works. So far I've read these links: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Trusted_Users https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR_Trusted_User_Guidelines https://aur.archlinux.org/trusted-user/TUbylaws.html So I was wondering if anyone had any links that I could read or any tips to think about before I decide if I want to take the next step. Thanks Dan Printzell

[aur-general] reconfigure netwerk settings
by mick howe 13 Jul '17

13 Jul '17

I've just changed ISP and the modem is setup to live at 192.168.20.1/24 which I have found is out of scope for my current address range of 192.168.1.100/24, using static IPs. I have followed the instructions in the wiki for configuring static IPs and changed all the settings I needed to get the network working through the new ISP but once I reboot some of the settings have reverted to those for the old ISP and I can't work out how to make ALL the changes stick. mick in glen innes
