[aur-general] Transition from split package to unsplit package
by Georg 27 Nov '19

27 Nov '19

Hi list, with the deprecation of Python2 ahead lots of packages currently built as split packages for py2/py3 will have to transition to non-split packages building only the py3 version, but this is not the only scenario when this could be needed. What is the correct workflow for this? It might depend on whether the pkgbase is the py2 vs py3 package vs another name (all cases exist). best regards Georg

Now you suspended my account, and destroyed all my work on Arch. But that was a less risky decision than keeping you around. Your purpose was never to enforce good practices but to boycott. What you call quality standards won't allow me to reach my goals. You don't care about the contents of the book, you only care about how well it's written.

[aur-general] xmrig-amd package deleted?
by Matt Harrison 26 Nov '19

26 Nov '19

Hi, It looks like the xmrig-amd [1] was recently deleted from the AUR. I don't currently see any mention anywhere of why or how it was deleted, so I am wondering why it was deleted? I can re-created it from the archive and maintain it myself, but I wanted to check first to not step on anyone's feet if it was deleted for a specific reason. Thanks, Matt Harrison [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xmrig-amd/

[aur-general] Dispute on thedarkmod-bin
by Alberto Salvia Novella 25 Nov '19

25 Nov '19

A Trusted User decided to orphan one of my packages, and override it with their own version. The reason given was I was using a custom installer for it, but without that installer the software cannot run properly as it was never designed to be used in a Linux filesystem system wide. Still they insisted it could be done. Now that they orphaned the packaged and implemented their own solution, the software is no longer working and it can never do so. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/thedarkmod-bin

[aur-general] hook failed on git-push, package not displayed
by Rafael Fontenelle 23 Nov '19

23 Nov '19

Hello, I just created a new package 'obs-xdg-portal' and with containing a PKGBUILD, a .SRCINFO and a .gitignore, pushed it to AUR, but it didn't went well. Firstly, the package is not available https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/obs-xdg-portal/ When I ran 'git push', it complained about hooks/update not being executable: $ git push Enumerating objects: 4, done. Counting objects: 100% (4/4), done. Delta compression using up to 4 threads Compressing objects: 100% (4/4), done. Writing objects: 100% (4/4), 830 bytes | 830.00 KiB/s, done. Total 4 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0) hint: The 'hooks/update' hook was ignored because it's not set as executable. hint: You can disable this warning with `git config advice.ignoredHook false`. To ssh://aur.archlinux.org/obs-xdg-portal * [new branch] master -> master Whenever I try to clone the directory again, it reports "nonexistent ref" $ git clone ssh://aur@aur.archlinux.org/obs-xdg-portal Cloning into 'obs-xdg-portal'... remote: Enumerating objects: 7, done. remote: Counting objects: 100% (7/7), done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (7/7), done. remote: Total 7 (delta 0), reused 1 (delta 0) Receiving objects: 100% (7/7), done. warning: remote HEAD refers to nonexistent ref, unable to checkout. Ideas? Best regards, Rafael Fontenelle

[aur-general] Updating AUR versions server side
by Alberto Salvia Novella 06 Nov '19

06 Nov '19

What if regular, non development, AUR packages were tested server side for new versions? Won't that make more sense than the maintainer having to run pkgver() manually from time to time? (Reply including me on the recipients) Alberto <https://es20490446e.wordpress.com>

Re: [aur-general] aur client
by Alberto Salvia Novella 03 Nov '19

Loui Chang: > I would hope some TU does add 'aur' to the blacklist > of package names. That would make sense if the package was misleading, but "aur" is an aur client for publishing to the AUR. It couldn't have clearer naming. Have a look at "sex", described as "spouts silly mad-lib style porn-like text". I'm still wondering what that means. Bottom line is that packages can be named after anything you want. As long as they are named the same as upstream, and the software is legal and useful.
