The maintainer of the checkgmail-svn package has turned over ownership to me, so my previously created checkgmail-svn-new package should be removed. Thanks! Chris

[aur-general] Xmonad PKGBUILD improvement
by jelle van der waa 22 Oct '09

22 Oct '09

Hi, I would like the to help the state of the xmonad package in community, currently xmonad depends on ghc , libhaskel-x11 that's correct but if haskell-x11 or ghc get's updated before it's rebuild against this new dependencies, it might break. To fix that issue the pkgbuild could be changed so xmonad would depend on haskel-x11='version' and ghc='version' . Secondly it would also cover an out of date mirror wich could lead to 'breakage'. Here is an example of a related bugreport because haskel-x11 was updated before a rebuild of xmonad: -FS#16606 - xmonad/xmonad-contrib depend on nonexistent haskell-x11 Jelle van der Waa

[aur-general] should be esound an optdepends?
by Andrea Scarpino 20 Oct '09

20 Oct '09

>From FS#16502: With GNOME 2.28 arriving, it's time to make esound an optional package, which is currently not the case. Here is the list of the packages which requires esound. I think for all of them that esound should be an optional dependency (except maybe enlightenment?). * bmp * cinelerra-cv * enlightenment * epplet-base * freeciv * gmerlin * gstreamer0.10-good-plugins * kvirc * kvm * libgnome * qemu * vice * xine-lib * xmms What's our decision about this? -- Andrea `bash` Scarpino Arch Linux Developer

[aur-general] Obsoleted, lacking developer wiki parts
by Laszlo Papp 17 Oct '09

17 Oct '09

Hello some obsoleted, laking part of the Developer Wiki! --- http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DeveloperWiki:Adopting_Packages 1. Browse the *community* Trusted User Repository located at http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?L=3 (the link is not available anymore) 3. Retreive the PKGBUILDs for the new packages: CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous@cvs.archlinux.org:/home/cvs-community and perform the testing/verificatoin on the PKGBUILD. Note that there is no need to change the version number unless changes are made to the package, this will minimize needless re-downloading. (CVS to SVN?) --- http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DeveloperWiki:Sigurd_%28TU%29 <- empty presently (gerolde, gudrun is okay.) --- http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DeveloperWiki:NewsletterSteps 1. Get most recent version of the newsletter: git clone ssh:// archlinux.org/srv/projects/git/newsletter.git/ <- I can't clone it. (Can the developers maybe do this action only?) --- Best Regards, Laszlo Papp

[aur-general] [delete request] kde4-servicemenu-pdf
by Christoph 16 Oct '09

There is a package kde4-servicemenu-pdf http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=21764 and a package servicemenu-pdf-kde4 http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=24898 I think that one of them should be deleted, in my opinion the first one because the first one is orphaned anyway and the second one is newer and has the better name (I think).

[aur-general] [bugtracker] Question about tickets for orphaned community pkgs.
by Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi 16 Oct '09

Hello guys! To what people and/or group of peoples I can assing tasks for orphaned packages (examples: [#1] [#2] [#3]) ? I think that many packages are always maintained by Dan Griffiths (Ghost1227) and Ionut Biru (wonder). There are no problems if I assing task to both? Sometimes I assing based on "#Maintainer" field in PKGBUILD and or SVN commiter that is ok, but there are other cases that this information is not valid anymore. Thanks in advance.

[aur-general] Can't build packages for a week or so...
by Aaron Schaefer 16 Oct '09

16 Oct '09

Hey all...I'm in the process of migrating to a new machine (and I'll finally be able to build x86_64!), so I won't be able to get anything updated until I'm set up. I've had some oddity with packaging since community's switch to SVN, but hopefully I'll get that all ironed out on the new machine. I don't think there's anything of mine that's too critical to get updated right away (nothing that can't wait a week or so). I'll post back if I continue to have problems or have questions once I'm back up and running...I'm assuming I'll have to send in a copy of my new SSH key for gerold access, and I've never done the building in a chroot before. Anyway, if you need it, feel free to update anything of mine in the mean time...thanks! -- Aaron "ElasticDog" Schaefer

[aur-general] [TU signoff] pulseaudio-0.9.19
by bardo 16 Oct '09

16 Oct '09

Hi fellow TUs, I've just moved the latest pulseaudio (x86_64 only, ATM) in [community-testing] because I'd like to get some feedback before committing. I had some problems because it failed to deliver any output with the default configuration (which is _bad_), and I had to manually activate the alsa-sink and alsa-source modules in /etc/pulse/default.pa. So in short, I'd like a couple of signoffs from TUs, but every feedback on this new version is welcome.

[aur-general] Conventions on packages for cross-compiling
by Vojtech Horky 16 Oct '09

16 Oct '09

Hi all, I am seeking advice how to write correct PKGBUILDs for cross-compilers. The thing I am not sure about is where to install them. Trouble is that even the binary packages use different locations and I haven't found any other source where to get information from (for example, cross-arm-wince-cegcc-binutils uses prefix /opt/cegcc/ while mingw32-gcc uses /usr). So, which location would you recommend/is better? Another thing - is the correct naming convention 'cross-<arch>-<pkgname>'? I already created/uploaded cross-compiling tools for MIPS (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?O=0&K=cross-mips) before I realized that they might be wrong. I would be thankful for any hints on these as well. Thanks for any suggestions! Regards - Vojta
