[aur-general] Apache (Roundcube) and /tmp
by Ismael Bouya 15 Jun '14

15 Jun '14

Hi, I tried to install roundcube (in community/), but it fails when it tries to check if he can write in his temp dir, which is a symlink that points to /tmp/roundcube and is rwx for http (and group http too). I have the same problem if I try to put the symlink to /var/tmp/roundcube, but it works with /var/lib/roundcube Note that I update the open_basedir each time, and absolutely no message show in the logs concerning fails to write in /var/tmp or /tmp (only when I forget to change the open_basedir value for php). Any idea where it can come from? Did I miss something in apache (or php?) configuration? Thanks in advance! -- Ismael

[aur-general] Merges
by Justin Dray 14 Jun '14

14 Jun '14

Hey, I've recently cleaned up the big pile of skype4pidgin packages in the AUR. Of the previous maintainers I could contact, they have orphaned the packages and I have taken them up prior to deletion/merging or have agreed to the merge. The maintainer for skype4pidgin-svn-dbus has not responded to my any attempts to sort out these packages so far (this was only around 10 days ago however. I'm not sure if that means this will still need to wait the full 14 days to be able to merge these or not though) Anyway, as a result, can someone please merge the following: skype4empathy-svn [1] -> skype4pidgin-svn [3] skype4pidgin-svn-dbus [2] -> skype4pidgin-svn [3] skype4empathy [4] -> skype4pidgin [6] skype4finch [5] -> skype4pidgin [6] [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/skype4empathy-svn/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/skype4pidgin-svn-dbus/ [3] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/skype4pidgin-svn/ [4] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/skype4empathy/ [5] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/skype4finch/ [6] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/skype4pidgin/ Regards, Justin Dray E: justin(a)dray.be M: 0433348284

[aur-general] Delete request: gtkpacman
by Doug Newgard 14 Jun '14

14 Jun '14

This one might be a bit controversial. gtkpacman hadn't been updated in over 6 years and hasn't functioned since pacman 4.1 at least, possibly before. I think it's safe at this point to say that it's dead. Dead + non-functional = should be removed IMO. Yes, it was a popular package with over 300 votes, but it's time is passed. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gtkpacman/

[aur-general] Perl Upgrade, make test failures and you: The Hurt That Finds You First
by John D Jones III 13 Jun '14

13 Jun '14

All: In my quest to begin getting my packages updated for the recent Perl 5.20 release. I have run into a number of problems with tests failing on most of the pkgbuilds, even stable pkgbuilds like perl-moose or perl-moo. These test errors primarily smell like this: Test Summary Report ------------------- t/00_modules.t (Wstat: 512 Tests: 0 Failed: 0) Non-zero exit status: 2 Parse errors: No plan found in TAP output with many more of the same. To fix this, I ended up just going through and mass rebuilding all my AUR perl pkgbuilds installed on my machine as such: for p in $(pacman -Qm | grep perl- | awk '{ print $1 }'); do yaourt -S $p --noconfirm; [[ $? > 0 ]] && echo $p >> /tmp/fail.1; done when that finishes, I then run: for p in $(cat /tmp/fail.1); do yaourt -S $p --noconfirm; [[ $? > 0 ]] && echo $p >> /tmp/fail.2; done Note the increment of the integer for the /tmp/fail extension. I ran this once more ( with the correct fail.2 file >> /tmp/fail.3 ) and I watched the builds, and noted the failures that were due to out of date URLs, or errors beyond my control ( IE: missing patch files, etc ). Something between the first run mass reinstalling all m/^perl-.+$/ with pacman -Qm and the second run, iterating the /tmp/fail.1 file all the failures from tests cleared up. the third run, caught the rest where there was a bum dependency or the like. For me with roughly 100 installed pkgbuilds on a local machine from AUR. It took just the three runs. You may or may not experience similar results; some may only need to run twice, some may need to run 4 or 5 times ( Just remember to increment your integer file extension between each run to 4 and/or 5 as applicable). But this should help in fixing the test failures that so many are seeing. Now if you don't use yaourt to manage your packages, I'm sorry. I've used it for 7 years without issue and point and laugh at all the haters. Haters gonna hate. :-P If someone out there cares to provide instructions for a either a yaourt alternative tool, such as packer, or a raw method, please reply to this post. Any flaming about yaourt ( or Perl ) will result in me LOLing at you with every ounce of LOL this mortal coil can muster. Now, all that said. Please don't mark a pkgbuild out of date simply because the tests fail. Leave the author a comment instead. Only mark the Perl pkgbuilds out of date, that are in fact out of date... If you mark one of my pkgbuilds out of date and it's not, I will happily unmark it and give you the URL to this very post. -- Thanks, John D Jones III UNIX Zealot; Perl Lover unixgeek1972(a)gmail.com jnbek1972(a)gmail.com http://zoelife4u.org/
