[aur-general] Deletion recommendation bashets-rc
by Profjim 30 Dec '09

30 Dec '09

Looking at the PKGBUILDS, the (orphaned) AUR package bashets-rc seems to be an older version of the package bashets, maintained by zhuravlik. I suspect he originally posted it, but I can't see how to email him. Looks to me like it would be appropriate to delete bashets-rc. -- Profjim profjim(a)jimpryor.net

[aur-general] Package voting alternatives
by Sebastian Nowicki 29 Dec '09

29 Dec '09

Hi, I believe this was discussed on aur-dev some years ago, but it seems that discussion was lost (no longer in archives). I'd like to bring up the subject again. What do you think the best way to indicate package popularity is? The two main ideas were votes (the current implementation) and a download counter. I can't really recall which one was preferred. The issue has been raised because we're deciding which to use in "AUR2", as a patch has been submitted to implement votes. I'd like to know if voting works, how effective it is, and how much significance it has on a TU's decision to put a package into community. Basically whether it's "broken" and needs to be "fixed" or if it's fine the way it is. P.S. I didn't send this to aur-dev as it doesn't really concern the developers. It's an end-user feature, and mostly a feature for TUs, so I posted here.

[aur-general] How to handle package without project URL?
by Alexander Lam 24 Dec '09

24 Dec '09

Hello all, I am packaging devmem2, whose source is available at http://free-electrons.com/pub/mirror/devmem2.c The mentioned URLs in the comments do not load, and thus I have left the URL field in the PKGBUILD blank. However, AUR will not let me upload the package without a URL exact error: Package URL is missing a protocol (ie. http:// ,ftp://) Should I just use of the 'broken' URLs for the URL variable? -- Alexander Lam

[aur-general] promoting packages that may benefit official repos
by Ray Rashif 21 Dec '09

21 Dec '09

Hello TUs I would like to bring slv2 [1] and google-gadgets [2] to [community] but as it is now, the latter can be used by extra/kde and the former (which also would bring in lv2 as a dep) by extra/ardour. Either (A) a core packager adopts them (along with deps) or (B) I go ahead and maintain them in [community]. [1] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=14545 [2] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=17378 * slv2 is a library for host apps to make use of the lv2 plug-in standard and specs - http://drobilla.net/software/slv2/ * lv2 is a successor to ladspa and is considered pretty stable as of today - http://lv2plug.in/ * google-gadgets is a standalone widget host from Google - http://code.google.com/p/google-gadgets-for-linux/ * google-gadgets can also integrate into Plasma - http://maketecheasier.com/integrate-google-gadgets-with-plasma-in-kubuntu/2… -- GPG/PGP ID: B42DDCAD

[aur-general] Going to submit my first AUR package dvtm-git
by garfiield 19 Dec '09

19 Dec '09

Hello! Like the subject says, I am going to submit my first AUR package dvtm-git [1]. But before I do that I would like to get some questions answered. Questions: Although dvtm [2] in AUR has the description "Dynamic virtual terminal manager", I have chosen "Tiling window management for the console" as the description of my package. My reason for choosing this description is that _I think_ it is more descriptive than just giving the meaning of the abbreviation "dvtm" (like the dvtm package does). * Should I go with my own description of the package or use the same description as the dvtm package? (Maybe add some information to inform that the source is a Git repository?) * What other improvements should or can I do to the package? Best regards, garfiield PS. Does it build on a x86_64 machine? (I have not tested, but since dvtm [2] does I assume this one also does.) -- [1] http://git.garfiield.net/?p=pkgbuilds.git;a=tree;f=dvtm-git;h=a72a63e314698… http://git.garfiield.net/?p=pkgbuilds.git;a=snapshot;h=a72a63e31469809242c0… git://git.garfiield.net/pkgbuilds.git [2] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=14182

[aur-general] perl-rename and prename
by Ranguvar 19 Dec '09

19 Dec '09

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 Hello, Still a little new to TU work :) There are two packages, 'perl-rename' and 'prename'. Both provide the same software. 'prename' is out-of-date and orphaned, but IMO has a nicer name, and is much more well-known (votes). 'perl-rename' is lesser known, but maintained and up-to-date. I'm thinking I should advise the 'perl-rename' maintainer to take over 'prename' with their PKGBUILD, and then delete 'perl-rename', does anyone not agree?
