[aur-general] TU rename Bylaws amendment vote
by Konstantin Gizdov 21 Sep '23

21 Sep '23

Hi, As per the TU Bylaws following the discussion to rename the Truster Users [1], the Trusted Users themselves must vote to approve the renaming. Hence, please, cast your vote on whether you agree the Bylaws be amended and the "Trusted User" role is renamed into "Package Maintainer". Vote is located at - https://aur.archlinux.org/tu/140 -- Regards, Konstantin [1] - https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/rfcs/-/merge_requests/7

Account Suspended

Hello. My AUR account (Hanabishi) was suspended. There is a mistake happened. You maybe thought that I am abusing requests, but my actions are actually agreed with TU. I am just helping to find duplicate packages (already present in official repos), which are violating AUR submission guidelines.

update gvim and vim-runtime
by marnout 13 Feb '23

13 Feb '23

Hello devoted TU, Yesterday I upgraded my archlinux. Among the updated packages were gvim and vim-runtime. I then noticed that there is a mess in the syntax highlighting of the bash scripts. I reinstalled the previous versions (9.0.1182-1) of gvim and vim-runtime, and everything was back to normal. Suspecting the sh.vim or bash.vim coloring files, I copied them to ~/.vim/syntax and updated gvim and vim-runtime again (from 9.0.1182-1 to 9.0.1302-1) and everything works fine. I do not ask for help, since I have solved my problem. I'm sorry, maybe this is not the right place to report what I think is a bug. Sincerely yours P.S. I have been using archlinux for a few years and I am very happy with it. I would like to make a donation with my credit card from time to time. Is 'click & pledge' the right place to help archlinux modestly? -- Mourad Arnout 25 rue de la Vieille Pierre 79800 Exoudun http://arad.free.fr

JSW (Java Service Wrapper) advice
by Polarian 11 Feb '23

11 Feb '23

Hello, So I have discussed the JSW issues in other threads, but now I have decided to make a dedicated thread for it as I feel it is a major issue with projects which depend on it. JSW makes things difficult when packaging software, you need the new version of the software to "patch" (of sorts) the old version, and then you remove the new version... which is already difficult enough to do, and is something I am working on within the onedev package: https://onedev.polarian.dev/polarrepo/onedev/~issues/1 However I have been looking for other user-based improvements, JSW provides a variety of scripts, such as database backup, restoring etc. These shouldn't be added to the PATH directly as it would "blotify" it of sorts, so I was thinking of making a wrapper script/program to call these scripts depending on the command line arguments passed. This would be a very simple script. If not written in bash, it could be added as a hard dependency of the package, or as a optional dependency (wrapper script to make JSW scripts more usable). JSW programs are very non-generic to the point that the only choice you got is to dump them into /opt/ and try your best to get them to work with the package manager, did I mention JSW is proprietary and is distributed under multiple EULAs? (which makes this situation even more of a kick in the balls). I have discussed isolation and removal of JSW from the codebase, it is possible to make it optional but the developer of onedev is currently not willing to do this, unless there is good reason (aka the AUR package does well, and there is a draft package proving the support is there for it) -> this is what I think he wanted to the best of my knowledge. Once I have the main package properly working, I have got on my todo list to attempt to strip the JSW wrapper out (the docker builds to a jar without the JSW, however it is a "incomplete" build which will need patching to fully function as far as I am aware). I plan to push this in the future to onedev-oss, or rename onedev to onedev-bin and then move the non-JSW one to be onedev, and then eventually merge them into a single package if the non-JSW manages to be as stable as the JSW, but this unfortunately will be unlikely due to the strong dependency on JSW. Does anyone have any advice they can give on packaging applications using JSW, and the idea of wrapping the JSW scripts into a single executable/script which can be put within the path (preferably to /usr/bin) to make it easier for users to manage their applications?

AUR Package Naming: greetd-regreet-git or regreet-git?
by rharish 09 Feb '23

09 Feb '23

Hello, I created a greeter for the greetd login daemon called ReGreet (https://github.com/rharish101/ReGreet). I wanted to publish a PKGBUILD for this to the AUR, and hence I requested a review on the Arch Forums here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=2083695. Lone_Wolf on the forums pointed out that the package should be called "regreet-git". However, all other greeters for greetd (greetd-gtkgreet, greetd-qtgreet, greetd-ddlm-git) all start with the "greetd-" prefix. What should I name my package? "regreet-git" or "greetd-regreet-git"? Should I stick with what the guidelines say, or the informal naming convention of greetd greeters? For your reference, I'm attaching the PKGBUILD and the .install file here.
