[aur-general] chirp-daily
by Zion Zero 03 Feb '20

03 Feb '20

Greetings I'd like to contribute to the Arch community by updating the chirp-daily AUR pkgbuild. I've updated the pkgbuild, added my ssh key to my AUR account and tested this on my local system with success. After reviewing the wiki I'm unsure of how to become the maintainer. I've emailed the current maintainer and received his blessing to take over the package. Otherwise I'm unable to push the changes as I do not have the proper ssh origin. Thanks! Kayin

[aur-general] EQ And Community Kindness
by michael Bostwick 17 Jan '20

17 Jan '20

Hi, This is my first time writing the mailing list, to be honest I would have preferred anther way of bringing this up, but *I didn't see an easy way to bring my concern to someone who's empowered to fix this strong comment or make it better.* I was looking into a package to solve a complex programming task when I encountered a rather jarring pinned comment . ( https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/libc%2B%2B/#pinned-678768 ) " Hi people, this is your regular reminder to SHUT UP about validpgpkeys checks and complaints about the fact that test suites exist. This package is doing the correct thing, and there has been a great deal of pointless moaning and whining about it, but there is also multiple pinned comments explaining why every one of those complaints is not only null and void, but retroactively ridiculous. The banhammer is ready and waiting in case you *still* want to ignore all this on top of the Trusted User warning." I really hope no one was banned by the writer of this comment, and I really hope as trusted users in the future you guys would *be a little more kind* to members of the aur community. Many linux users may be familiar with Linus Torvalds writings on his mistakes with EQ, I hope no one in aur has to experience that. For those trusted AUR members that have been kind I say *thank you for your hard work*, and for those that mean well but are harsh please keep in mind when you see a package the first thing you see in the pinned comment (and alot of context that is missed), and that speaks loudly to your impressions of aur. Thanks For your time in reading my comment, Michael B

Re: [aur-general] Being an asshole to package maintainers is a bannable offense, and that's okay
by Niels Egidius Johan Meijer 16 Jan '20

Hello everyone, this is my first time posting too, I hope nothing went wrong. To demonstrate that it is the presentation of the comment in question but not the content that some experience as inappropriate, I tried to re-write it for myself in a less 'emotive' way. It is usually really hard to properly express emotive content in a written text without creating ambiguity about the intention of the original poster, which I feel underlies most controversies about 'unwelcomingness' on the Internet: > Hi people, there have been a large number of complaints about the testing this package does, such as validpgpkeys checks. This package is doing the correct thing, and several previous pinned comments [have attempted to] explain why these complaints are not valid. Please refer to those before posting any additional comments. The text in []s would make the message a bit more polite, as not including it might make what other might consider a subjective claim. I put it in brackets as I it might change the content of the message a bit. The final sentence prevents users from bringing up the stale arguments that the original message tried to prevent, but does not assume anything about the intentions of the reader, which is more polite IMO. If the poster wants to be a bit more explicit, it could be replaced with the following. > Please refrain from posting any additional comments [that are already addressed by this discussion]. I feel that this is probably rude to say without the parts in brackets (as it forbids a reader who might bring up a valid point from participating), but that part might change the content a bit, hence the brackets. So far the message politely asks the reader not to do something, which might make any willing violation of this request against the implicit expectation of civilised behaviour one can/should assume in a public 'medium' such as the AUR. If somebody does this anyway I am pretty sure everyone can agree that banning could be logical next step. However, to not change the content: to make the threat of a ban explicit one could add the following line: > Please note that Moderators/TUs might [need to] resort to banning users to minimise additional noise in the comment section. However, I really think such a consequence should already be clear from the previous text. Including it might therefore make the message more hostile than it needs to be in order to achieve the desired goal (no more spammy complaints), and also slightly implies that the writer is just pretending to sound polite. (Is it called a 'comment section'?) I'd like to mention that I am not too sure about the mentioned technicalities. I also tried my best not to 'censor' the message in any kind, just change the presentation. Switching to a more formal (less-emotive) register is my go-to approach when a discussion might get heated, and I wanted to add my two cents. I hope they are of some use in any future considerations! Kind regards, Niels E. J. Meijer

[aur-general] Sha256sum unexpected behaviour
by Leonidas Spyropoulos 10 Jan '20

10 Jan '20

Hello, I got a weird issue with sha256sum behaviour. When creating the package with makepkg --geninteg I get a hash and when trying to build it with makepkg the hash fails. The interesting bit is --ptintsrcinfo comes up with a different hash. Anyone got some idea why this might happen? See below some debugging info ~/linux-gc$ makepkg --geninteg ==> Retrieving sources... -> Found linux-v5.4.10-arch1.tar.gz -> Found config -> Found 0001_bmq_v5.4-r1.patch -> Found 0002_enable_additional_cpu_optimizations-20190822.tar.gz ==> Generating checksums for source files... sha256sums=('bd51016d038277d2edd4e6d6def53b0ba24e0b238662d404a07a7d706ad2b5d3' 'aa77f7e3b611787f734c7e7d7503d3debf9af86ac999e8bccf533c5a854ec15b' '0b770209a72171dfd46401d67d13204a767eb1749ef522df7ea7292b83046537' '8c11086809864b5cef7d079f930bd40da8d0869c091965fa62e95de9a0fe13b5') ~/linux-gc$ makepkg --printsrcinfo pkgbase = linux-gc pkgdesc = Linux pkgver = 5.4.10 pkgrel = 1 url = https://cchalpha.blogspot.co.uk/ arch = x86_64 license = GPL2 makedepends = bc makedepends = kmod makedepends = libelf makedepends = xmlto makedepends = python-sphinx makedepends = python-sphinx_rtd_theme makedepends = graphviz makedepends = imagemagick makedepends = git options = !strip source = linux-v5.4.10-arch1.tar.gz::https://git.archlinux.org/linux.git/snapshot/li… source = config source = 0001_bmq_v5.4-r1.patch::https://gitlab.com/alfredchen/bmq/raw/master/5.4/bm… source = 0002_enable_additional_cpu_optimizations-20190822.tar.gz::https://github.co… validpgpkeys = ABAF11C65A2970B130ABE3C479BE3E4300411886 validpgpkeys = 647F28654894E3BD457199BE38DBBDC86092693E validpgpkeys = 8218F88849AAC522E94CF470A5E9288C4FA415FA sha256sums = 1fda6369ec7038c9ca1fe7aa6206977c5b8983c77e9d74e4ba458a4d042d1d31 sha256sums = aa77f7e3b611787f734c7e7d7503d3debf9af86ac999e8bccf533c5a854ec15b sha256sums = 0b770209a72171dfd46401d67d13204a767eb1749ef522df7ea7292b83046537 sha256sums = 8c11086809864b5cef7d079f930bd40da8d0869c091965fa62e95de9a0fe13b5 pkgname = linux-gc pkgdesc = The Linux kernel and modules with the BMQ CPU scheduler depends = coreutils depends = kmod depends = initramfs optdepends = crda: to set the correct wireless channels of your country optdepends = linux-firmware: firmware images needed for some devices provides = linux-gc=5.4.10 pkgname = linux-gc-headers pkgdesc = Headers and scripts for building modules for the Linux kernel depends = linux-gc provides = linux-gc-headers=5.4.10 provides = linux-headers=5.4.10 Thanks, -- Leonidas Spyropoulos A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.

[aur-general] SweetHome3D related PKGBUILDs
by Alexis BRENON 08 Jan '20

08 Jan '20

Hi all, By default, SweetHome3D comes with only a few 3D models to add to your scene. Some are advertised on its site but it requires that you download them manually and then add them to SweetHome3D. I think it could be nice to have some assets package in AUR which download and add assets automatically. 8 different libraries are provided, some which are specific (for trees or for persons), and they aren't so lightweight so I choose to make 1 package for each library. Hence I wrote some scripts which generate PKGBUILDs and .install script for each package: https://github.com/AlexisBRENON/3dmodels-pkgbuild Here is the PKGBUILD for one of them to show you an example: --- # Maintainer: Alexis BRENON <brenon.alexis+arch at gmail dot com> pkgname=sweethome3d-3dmodels-contributions pkgver=1.7.1 pkgrel=1 pkgdesc="Free 3D models advertised on SweetHome3D website" arch=('any') url="http://www.sweethome3d.com/freeModels.jsp" license=("custom:FreeArtLicence") optdepends=("sweethome3d: Models rendering" "sweethome3d-3dmodels-blendswap-cc0: More 3D models" "sweethome3d-3dmodels-blendswap-ccby: More 3D models" "sweethome3d-3dmodels-katorlegaz: More 3D models" "sweethome3d-3dmodels-lucapresidente: More 3D models" "sweethome3d-3dmodels-reallusion: More 3D models" "sweethome3d-3dmodels-scopia: More 3D models" "sweethome3d-3dmodels-trees: More 3D models") install="$pkgname.install" source=(" http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/sweethome3d/3DModels-Contributions-1.7.1… ") sha1sums=("5db3609b754747b018fc5362cc5421271656ceca") package() { mkdir -p $pkgdir/usr/share/eteks/sweethome3d/furniture/contributions I=0 for lib in "${srcdir}"/*.sh3f; do install -Dm644 "$lib" "$pkgdir/usr/share/eteks/sweethome3d/furniture/contributions/contributions-$(printf "%02d" "$I").sh3f" I=$(( I + 1 )) done install -Dm644 "${srcdir}"/LICENSE* "$pkgdir/usr/share/licenses/$pkgname/LICENSE" } --- Do you think that this kind of packages would be useful and fit in the rules of submissions? Kind, Alexis.

[aur-general] Change package name?
by Brian Allred 08 Jan '20

08 Jan '20

Hi all, yochananmarqos made a good point on my gpmdp <https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gpmdp/> package. It's a -bin package, but I didn't originally submit it as such. Is there a way to change its name without losing the comment history and changelog? I can resubmit as gpmdp-bin if necessary, just wanted to check first. Thanks, Brian
