[aur-general] surf-git doesn't build (for me, anyway)
by Greg Minshall 17 Dec '19

17 Dec '19

hi. surf-git https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/surf-git/ gets an error when building with makepkg (see below). the problem is correctable by cp -p src/surf/config.def.h src/surf/config.h i.e., copying the suckless-supplied "default" config.h (named config.def.h) to the config.h used in the build, then doing a makepkg -e (there are also config.h files in . and in ./src identical to the one supplied in ./src/surf; i didn't need to change those and am not sure what they are for.) cheers, Greg ps: here's the error (the older function scroll() in surf was split into two, i guess): ---- c99 `pkg-config --cflags x11` `pkg-config --cflags gtk+-3.0 gcr-3 webkit2gtk-4.0` -DVERSION=\"2.0\" -DWEBEXTDIR=\"/usr/lib/surf\" -D_DEFAULT_SOURCE -DGCR_API_SUBJECT_TO_CHANGE -fPIC -march=x86-64 -mtune=generic -O2 -pipe -fno-plt -c surf.c In file included from surf.c:302: config.h:149:43: error: ‘scroll’ undeclared here (not in a function); did you mean ‘scrollh’? 149 | { MODKEY, GDK_KEY_j, scroll, { .i = 'd' } }, | ^~~~~~ | scrollh

[aur-general] AUR Merge request for kubebox and kubebox-bin
by David Rodriguez 06 Dec '19

06 Dec '19

Hello, I am the maintainer of both kubebox and kubebox-bin. It has been brought to my attention that kubebox, since it is not built from source, would be more appropriately named "kubebox-bin". I've already uploaded the new package and am requesting a merge for comments and votes. Thank you, David Rodriguez

[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 25 Nov '19

25 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.

[aur-general] Updating AUR versions server side

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>

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.

AUR: > Alad deleted aur-git: > > Why are you submitting this again after agreeing that a name change is > in order? That was the original package which was there before the discussion, and only one day has passed. I haven't had time that fast for thinking a new name and requesting a change, which I was planning to do this very week. I suggest that you make standard in Arch waiting a couple of days for feedback before making unilateral decisions.

[aur-general] aur client
by Alberto Salvia Novella 30 Oct '19

30 Oct '19

Since publishing to the AUR is something that all packagers do quite frequently, I have developed a software that reduces the related operations to the bare minimum, making publishing to the AUR instant. Basically it's a SMED <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aoqra9bXAAg> system. The software is called "aur <https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/aur-git>" itself, and you can check its manual out by in the terminal entering: curl --silent https://gitlab.com/es20490446e/aur/raw/master/assets/aur.1 > aur.1; man ./aur.1; rm aur.1 As long as constructive, suggestions are very welcome. When replying please include my email address in the recipients list. Alberto <https://es20490446e.wordpress.com>

[aur-general] Doubt conflict array & request check PKGBUILDS
by Iyán Méndez Veiga 28 Oct '19

28 Oct '19

Hi, I recently adopted two packages from AUR: adwaita-qt and adwaita-qt4. Today @morealaz (who is maintaining adwaita-qt-git) asked me to edit some of the arrays in the PKGBUILD (please read comments in the AUR website) and after reading the wiki I did a commit with those little changes. I am not sure if they are correct and he argues that I should a conflict array. Can someone have a look at these two (three) PKGBUILDS and tell me if I should change something and why? Thanks, Iyán

Dear aurweb contributors and users, This is a bit of a late announcement but we are pleased to announce that aurweb 4.8.0 has been released last week! Several bugs have been fixed, we made some significant performance improvements by caching results of expensive database queries, and a simple CAPTCHA has been added to combat the growing number of spam accounts. For a comprehensive list of changes, please consult the Git log [2]. As usual, bugs should be reported to the aurweb bug tracker [3].

[aur-general] Rename Request for python-spotipy, python-spotipy-git and python2-spotipy
by Mario Ortiz 23 Oct '19

23 Oct '19

First of all: this is one of my first contributions to a mailing list so if I did something incorrectly, please let me know. I sent this to aur-requests but was told to post here instead. A rename is being discussed for the spotipy package, since the original one hasn't been updated since 2017 and its maintainer is inactive. Here's the new API's GitHub issue where this is being discussed https://github.com/felix-hilden/spotipy/issues/22. The package is going to be renamed on PyPi and Read The Docs, with depreciation warnings and enough time for the current users to update it. But the old version shouldn't be removed in case someone still wants to use it. The same thing applies to the AUR packages. Currently these are python-spotipy, python-spotipy-git and python2-spotipy. The maintainers of these projects should either update it to the new API once it's ready and create the old API packages, or rename them and create a new package with the new API. And by maintainers I also mean myself. I can help by maintaining these packages if necessary. Also, please note that this new API isn't available for Python2 so python2-spotipy would only have to be renamed. I'd appreciate suggestions on this change and how it could be done. Thanks

[aur-general] TU removal: Ray Rashif
by David Runge 20 Oct '19

20 Oct '19

Hi all, I would like to start the discussion period for a Trusted User removal of Ray 'schiv' Rashif on the grounds of 'Special Removal of an Inactive TU' [1]. Note, that this is separate from any motion in regards to Ray's developer status. Currently Ray is the maintainer of 60 packages in [community] and [extra], of which none are actively maintained by him (for years). Ray's last action as a community member (in archweb) has been on '2019-03-12 12:50'. The account 'schivmeister' doesn't maintain any packages in the AUR and the last login in aurweb was on '2019-03-12'. However, the last counted Trusted User vote is number 117 (current vote: 118). The voting procedure will commence after seven days of discussion period, in which Ray can state his case.

[aur-general] TU resignation - Lukas Jirkovsky (stativ)
by Lukas Jirkovsky 14 Oct '19

14 Oct '19

Hello everyone, after much time I've finally came to admit to myself that I can no longer fulfill my duties as a trusted user the way Arch Linux deserves. While I still manage to update the packages I actively use, such as rawtherapee, I can no longer keep up with other packages and updates often come late. I've given up on other duties such as keeping AUR clean already. I'm very sorry for that, but time has come for me to pack. Arch Linux community is one of the best communities out there and it was a great pleasure to be part of the team. I still love Arch Linux very much and it's surely going to be my distro of choice for time to come. Lot of you were very helpful with keeping the more complicated packages up to date already. A stellar example is intellij-idea-community-edition, which is now thanks to Maxime built from sources. The packages left that I'm still listed as a sole maintainer doesn't get updates too often and are fairly trivial to update. Though I guess some of them can be safely dropped without anyone noticing (I'm looking at you, gimp plugin packages). So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish, Lukas
