[aur-general] Is dev.archlinux.org browser dependent?
by Stefan Husmann 21 Sep '09

21 Sep '09

Hello TUs, I finally managed to enter dev.archlinux.org to adopt some packages in [community]. I had to install opera to do so. I tried firefox, conkeror and midori, but all of them did not give me a login form but a message about an untrusted site. So my question is: Are there any settings I have to apply (using about:config or the like)? I would like to get rid of opera if I can. Hints? Regards Stefan

[aur-general] [Deletion Request] kbluetooth4-svn
by Panos Filip 19 Sep '09

19 Sep '09

Hello to everyone ! I am Flamelab on AUR, and I orphaned kbluetooth4-svn, since the new one's (kdebluetooth-svn) and (kdebluetooth-devel) seem to work better than my own (they provide the same upstream program), and their maintainer seems to be more interested on them. Please, can someone delete my own ;)

That's a great thing - I now know I have a lot to fix :) > And yes, those duplicates are real dupes in community Dupes come mostly from the any-arch transition. In fact I had looked around a bit, but couldn't find some king of guide - what exactly should we untag on the repo to remove a specific architecture?

[aur-general] Adding a .deb packaged application to the AUR
by Jeff Horelick 18 Sep '09

18 Sep '09

Hello Listmates, I have a package here i'd really like to add to the AUR. The problem is that its packaged in a .deb. How would i go about packaging this for Arch? Feel free to just point at: "Look at this other package" or "Read this wiki page". In case some of you guys don't know the formmat that a .deb is in: An ar archive, inside there are 2 tarballs, one called control.tar.gz which for our purposes can be mostly ignored and one called data.tar.gz which has the actual application files laid out in the directory structure of the system similar to a Arch final binary package. (usr/bin/stuff, usr/share/stuff and so on). Or would it be easier for me to just setup a GitHub or BitBucket account, drop all the source files on there and simply make a hg or git package? (For the record and all, it's not my project, but it is GPLv2 so....)

[aur-general] kernel26-firmware and third-party kernels
by Ray Rashif 17 Sep '09

17 Sep '09

Hey all Would it be OK (as in KISS) to shove in a custom kernel's equivalent firmware into /lib/firmware/$(uname -r)? By looking at the /lib/udev/firmware.sh script it's one of the default look-up paths. But if I (and subsequent third-party packagers) start doing this, it will break the consistency as kernel26's firmware are in that dir. The only resolution here is that kernel26 uses /lib/firmware/$(uname -r) as well. I'm pretty sure that the blobs are hardware-dependent and not software, but from looking at the kernel26 buildscripts so far it appears they are being bumped for every minor revision update. Why is this being done? If there is indeed no problem whatsoever and any kernel can use firmware of any version, then this case can be dismissed :) Regards

[aur-general] Orphan request and illegal package
by F B 17 Sep '09

17 Sep '09

Hi, could you orphan this package? http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=16940 The maintainer doesn't update it and doesn't responds to the comments, however he is still active in aur. This package http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=24209 doesn't follow the aur rules, for more infos see FrozenFox last comment. Thank you in advance.

My ruby19-Package in the aur is now unnecessary because ruby 1.9 moved to extra. ruby19 in aur should be deleted: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=23973 There's another ruby v1.9 package: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=14402 I think this is unnecessary, too. Thanks, Jan-Erik Rediger (badboy)

[aur-general] AurJson - orphan packages
by Pierre Chapuis 14 Sep '09

14 Sep '09

Hi, I was wondering if there's a way to know if a package is orphan using the AurJson interface. If that's not the case, I think I will find a feature request for something like: "Uploader":"pseudonym" in "info/results", with "pseudonym" set as "orphan" if the package is orphan (I hope nobody has taken the pseudonym "orphan" on AUR...). Does that look fine to you? -- catwell

Hi All, I am trying to install the dvbstreamer package. When I compile it I get an error regarding "strict referencing of pointers". On googling around I find that you can't use the -Werror compile option with gcc 4.4 Can anyone tell me how to remove this option during the build, please tell me the steps to follow to do this as I am just a user that installs by "makepkg" etc ... Thanks, Bernie
