[aur-general] AUR package end-of-life
by Alexis BRENON ＠Arch 20 Mar '21

20 Mar '21

Hi, During the first COVID lockdown, I published an AUR package for a libinput pull-request: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/libinput-accel-profile-git/ Since then, the PR has been merged and released as part of libinput 1.16.0. Moreover, the PKGBUILD seems to be invalid too (yay fails to install the package). Should I still maintain this package or ask for a deletion? If I have to maintain it, is there a way to mark it as deprecated, redirecting users to the libinput community package? Kind, Alexis

[aur-general] My -git package not updating
by Barnabás Béres 18 Mar '21

18 Mar '21

Dear Arch users, I have a big collection of wallpapers on gitlab. My friends suggested that I submit it to the AUR. I have created a PKGBUILD according to PKGBUILD-VCS.proto but my package doesn't update when I add a new wallpaper to it on my gitlab. Here is my pkgbuild: pkgname=nature-wallpapers-git pkgver=1.0 pkgrel=1 pkgdesc="Collection of nature wallpapers" arch=(any) url=" https://gitlab.com/winux1/nature-wallpapers.git/" license=('unknown') makedepends=('git') source=("git+$url") noextract=() md5sums=('SKIP') pkgver() { cd "$srcdir/${pkgname%-git}" printf "r%s.%s" "$(git rev-list --count HEAD) " "$(git rev-parse --short HEAD)" } package() { cd "$srcdir/${pkgname%-git}" install -d "${pkgdir}/usr/share/backgrounds/nature-wallpapers" install -m644 *.jpg "${pkgdir}/usr/share/backgrounds/nature-wallpapers/" } What is wrong with it? Thanks for your help in advance

[aur-general] Version downgraded and not being updated anymore
by Zekke Barton 03 Mar '21

03 Mar '21

I noticed that this aur package: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/masterpdfeditor-libs-included/ Seems to have it's version rolled back and is now stuck on a version that still works with some keygen that's used to activate the program. That doesn't seem like it should be happening. (the latest version is 5.7.20 like the original package: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/masterpdfeditor/ ) Cheers

by Uwe Koloska 18 Feb '21

18 Feb '21

Hello, I have used a wrong email address for pushing my package updates to aur. Is it possible to rewrite this commits? I'm not allowed to force push a rewritten history, so I think some admin intervention is needed. best regards Uwe

Hello, A package I maintain has changed his name (pyidm became firedm) and I am wondering how I should change the package name.

Could someone comment on https://github.com/kewlfft/ansible-aur/pull/50 The issue was that ansible-aur produced an error on an empty package list. Now the question is whether ansible-aur should allow empty package lists.

[aur-general] llvm-git & lib32-llvm-git need a new maintainer
by Lone_Wolf 03 Jan '21

03 Jan '21

Hi, It's been months since I've used those packages and I feel they should be maintained by someone who actively uses them. Build times for those varies between 15 and 60+ minutes hour on my 12 core /24 threads threadripper 1920x system. The new maintainer should have access to a powerful system or be willing to accept very long build times. Is anyone interested in taking over maintenance ? Lone_Wolf

[aur-general] Mesa-git & lib32-mesa-git need new maintainer
by Lone_Wolf 03 Jan '21

03 Jan '21

Hi, I have switched to other packages and no longer use aur mesa-git & lib32-mesa-git . These 2 packages have a lot in common and should be maintained by the same person. If somebody steps up I intend to give them co-maintainership and help them in adjusting the packages to their views before stepping down as maintainer. Lone_Wolf

[aur-general] Why are orphan requests accepted immediately although wiki says there's a 2 weeks wating period ?
by Lone_Wolf 03 Jan '21

03 Jan '21

Hi, Recently I received a notification message that a package I was co-maintainer from had changed ownership. I looked at aur-requests archive and saw the orphan request was filed on Sat Jan 2 09:42:38 UTC 2021. The request was accepted on Sat Jan 2 09:42:38 UTC 2021 or within a second ! I checked https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR_submission_guidelines#Requests which states > Orphan requests will be granted after two weeks if the current > maintainer did not react. The immediate acceptance has made it impossible for the maintainer / co-maintainers to respond. Is the wiki incorrect wrt policy for orphan requests ? If so, where is the correct policy described ?

[aur-general] TU application - orhun
by orhun 03 Jan '21

03 Jan '21

Dear Arch Linux Trusted Users & Developers, The intent of this mail is to apply for the role of Trusted User with the confirmation/sponsorship of Sven-Hendrik Haase and Levente Polyak. -----BEGIN APPLICATION BLOCK----- INTRODUCTION My name is Orhun Parmaksız and I use the name orhun/orhunp on most of the platforms. I'm currently studying software engineering and working as a backend developer at a social media startup. I like to work my way through the software world by getting involved in open source projects [0] and trying to create unique and interesting tools. It's my hobby/job to work on Linux specific software so I can say that I'm getting more familiar with Linux concepts in general as time goes. In the meantime, I'm trying to get a grip on Arch Linux specific topics like its build system since it's the main distribution that I use/learn for years. Thus, I package & maintain the software that I like/use in AUR [1] for experiencing different scenarios and learning new techniques. It's also important for me to engage with the community and get involved in events when I'm able to. One example would be this year's Arch Conf which I recapped the things I learned about packaging Rust applications [2]. So I'd like to keep learning new things and be useful at the same time by becoming a Trusted User for taking a role in AUR and maintaining community packages as every Trusted User does. In the long term, I believe that I can contribute to the Arch projects as I gain experience and knowledge by working in the field. EXPERIENCE Although I mostly use Rust and Go recently, I have worked with languages like C, Python, and Java in the past. I believe that the words about "knowing" a programming language is cheap so it's strongly encouraged to check the projects that I write with them. Since the general mantra in software development is "learn by practice", it's likely for me to learn a new technology by using it. Apart from those, I often write shell scripts to manage various things in my system [3] such as the semi-automation of releasing a new version of a package in AUR or performing system-related trivial tasks. Briefly, I can say that I'm fluent in Rust, Go, C, and still sharpening my shell scripting skills. PROJECTS/CONTRIBUTIONS I'd like to plug some of the open source projects that I wrote over the years as a reference to the previous section: - kmon: Linux kernel manager and activity monitor [4] - menyoki: Screen{shot,cast} and perform ImageOps on the command line [5] - pkgtop: Interactive package manager and resource monitor [6] - zps: A small utility for listing and reaping zombie processes [7] Contributing to the tools/libraries that I use is something that I do from time to time for adding particular features or fixing specific bugs [8]. But recently I have been contributing to the open source projects based on my activities on AUR. Mostly I'm trying to share my ideas and propose some fixes that I discovered while working on the upstream [9]. HOW CAN I HELP? I'm aiming to turn my motivation and enthusiasm in regards to the Arch Linux project into professional and valuable contributions since I learn fast and adapt to the changes quickly. My first step towards that goal was to start maintaining packages in AUR and I still do due to the fact that I feel like I should somehow give back to the community. I think the packaging is an interesting topic and I'm experiencing/learning new things by doing it. As for now, my purpose is to adopt/maintain Rust, Go, C, and Python packages in the community repository, move some of my favorite packages about networking like gping [10] and ali [11] to there and help with the tooling of reproducible builds. My interactions with the packages and the Trusted Users also taught me they are responsible for crucial tasks. And I believe that I'm at a point in my life that I can take such responsibilities regardless of how challenging the tasks are. I can also manage my priorities and time well for taking a role as a Trusted User. Although I want to help with the essential duties like keeping an eye on AUR (reviewing requests, looking into security issues, etc.) and maintaining packages in the community repository, I should also say that one of my goals for the future is to develop Arch Linux specific projects and contribute to the existing ones. I'm sure that I'll get to the point where I have enough context and experience quickly with the help of the rest of the team if the application succeeds. So that's why I believe becoming a Trusted User and helping out on the packaging issues is definitely a good place for me to start contributing more concretely to the Arch Linux project. SPONSORS - Sven-Hendrik Haase (svenstaro) - Levente Polyak (anthraxx) [0] https://github.com/orhun [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/orhun [2] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_g6xZ0DbJg [3] https://github.com/orhun/dotfiles [4] https://github.com/orhun/kmon [5] https://github.com/orhun/menyoki [6] https://github.com/orhun/pkgtop [7] https://github.com/orhun/zps [8] https://github.com/TheNeikos/textwidth-rs/pull/1 [9] https://github.com/Skallwar/suckit/pull/98 [10] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gping [11] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ali -----END APPLICATION BLOCK----- Thank you all for taking the time to consider my application.

[aur-general] Transition users from package x to package y (package x deprecated)
by Michael Kogan 30 Dec '20

30 Dec '20

Hi guys, I maintain the multiload-ng AUR packages, in particular xfce4-plugin-multiload-ng-gtk2 and xfce4-plugin-multiload-ng-gtk3. After the recent Xfce 4.16 update the gtk2 version stopped building, so I would like to delete xfce4-plugin-multiload-ng-gtk2 and somehow migrate the users to xfce4-plugin-multiload-ng-gtk3 (which should be renamed to just xfce4-plugin-multiload-ng if possible). What are my options making the transition as smooth as possible? Thanks for any input and merry Christmas! Michael

[aur-general] TU resignation
by Baptiste Jonglez 21 Dec '20

21 Dec '20

Hi, I have been less active in Arch for some time. I'm involved in many other projects that end up taking lots of time, and as a result I don't have the required time / energy / interest for Arch anymore. When my last Arch machine died recently after 10 years of loyal Arch service, it was a good sign that I should make this official. With that being said, I am resigning as a TU. I've had some, let's say, "disagreements" with a few members of the team over the years, but overall it was a positive experience. Keep up the good work, and take care of this delicate balance between technical excellence and community-minded approach. Now for practical matters, here are my packages in [community]: auto-multiple-choice babeld camlp5 confuse coq coq-doc coqide dia dune fastd fig2dev gephi gobby hevea horst icmake ipv6calc kea kea-devel-docs lablgtk3 lesspipe libinfinity libuecc msgpack-c ocaml-cairo ocaml-num perl-locale-codes python-antlr4 python-latexcodec python-oset python-pybtex python-pybtex-docutils python-sphinxcontrib-bibtex python-sphinx-testing quilt radcli remake tcptrace xplot yodl Feel free to adopt them in [community], and I can also move some to the AUR if somebody is interested to maintain them. I also have a few packages in the AUR that I am going to orphan: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/?O=0&SeB=M&K=zorun Regards, Baptiste

[aur-general] TU applications, discussion periods and "no" votes.
by Xyne 15 Dec '20

15 Dec '20

Hi all, In at least one recent TU application, there was not a single criticism or negative remark during the discussion period and yet there was still a "no" vote in the result. A "no" vote is an objection and it is important to bring it up during the discussion period so that other TUs may take it into consideration when voting. It also gives the candidate the opportunity to address it, which itself can be very informative during the discussion period. I am not trying to call anyone out. It may well be the case that someone missed the discussion period or misclicked while voting, or has a personal objection or a blood vendetta against the candidate's family spanning back 5 generations that they are not allowed to talk about. I absolutely do not want to know who voted "no" or why. I just want to encourage everyone to participate in the discussion period when they have something to add. Regards, Xyne

Hi, I'm new to this mailing list and don't know if I'm submitting the question to the right one. Please forgive me if I'm doing something wrong. I tried to submit new AUR package for the HTTP load testing tool called hey written in golang and it got failed to "git push" because of the origin repository is not empty. It seems like there is already a repository with past work and I can't submit new package because of that reason. When I try to navigate to the package page I can't find the package. Repository: https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/?h=hey Package: https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/hey/ ( 404 - not found ) Thanks ! -- Shyamin Ayesh mobile: 0775251479 email: me(a)shyamin.com <http://www.facebook.com/shyaminayesh> <https://twitter.com/shyaminayesh> <https://lk.linkedin.com/in/shyaminayesh> <https://www.instagram.com/shyaminayesh/>

Hello everyone, My name is Remi Gacogne, and I hereby apply to join the Trusted Users team, kindly sponsored by Levente Polyak and Morten Linderud. I'm 37 years old and live in Paris, France. My journey with Linux started around 1999 with Mandrake, quickly replaced by Slackware which has been my favourite distribution until I fell in love with Arch, around 2009. Since then I have been involved in several aspects of the life of the Arch community like the wiki and the bug tracker [1], but my main contributions have been to the security team, often bugging you folks with security issues in your packages :) You can find me on Freenode and OFTC under the nick of rgacogne. I have contributed to many FOSS projects over the years, mainly by writing and fixing C, C++ and Python code, hopefully not introducing too many bugs in the process. Some of them can be found on my GitHub profile [2]. I have held positions as a sysadmin, security engineer and software engineer in the past, and am currently working for the PowerDNS [3] open-source company as a software engineer. In my spare time I enjoy climbing, hiking, paragliding and trail running, as well as drinking beers. I'm also involved in a few non-profit organisations, far away from computers. I am currently maintaining a few packages in the AUR [4], although most of the popular ones I used to maintain having been moved to community by existing TUs along the way, with my blessing and gratitude. As a TU I would like to move two of the remaining ones to community: - bgpq3 - dnsdist My main motivation for becoming a TU is however not to move those, but to relieve the workload of other TUs by helping maintain and/or adopting existing community packages. For obvious reasons I have already discussed adopting the powerdns and powerdns-recursor packages from anthraxx, but I would also be interested in adopting some orphans here and there, like for example hiredis, libopenraw and nsd. I should also mention that being a TU would be very useful to my work on the security team, since I would then be able to help fix critically vulnerable packages. My preferred, old-fashioned, way of keeping track of packages updates is to subscribe to mailing-lists, but I have come to appreciate the use of tools like nvchecker in doing so as well :) Cheers, Remi [1]: https://bugs.archlinux.org/user/9172 [2]: https://github.com/rgacogne [3]: https://www.powerdns.com [4]: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/?SeB=m&K=rgacogne

Please delete the package arm-none-eabi-gcc74-linaro from AUR. I disowned it. Thanks.
