[aur-general] Deletion request for rasqal in [AUR]
by hollunder＠gmx.at 05 Sep '09

05 Sep '09

An upstream change required rasqal to be moved to [extra] so redland can provide the same functionality. I don't see a point in keeping the [AUR] version. The maintainer wasn't particularly responsive either. http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=4148 Thanks to AndyRTR for resolving the issue swiftly. Regards, Philipp

[aur-general] Chromium builds and runs on Pentium-m, but not on Desktop (Athlon 2800+)
by Bernard Mentink 30 Aug '09

30 Aug '09

I have successfully compiled/installed and run the chromium-continuous from AUR repository on my pentium-m based laptop. However, when doing a similar install on my desktop which has Athlon 2800+ CPU the build is fine, but I get an error on running it, the error is: Code: $ chromium-browser [7215:7215:9111919603:ERROR:/b/slave/chromium-rel-linux/build/src/chrome/browser/google_update_settings_posix.cc(73)] Not implemented reached in static bool GoogleUpdateSettings::GetLanguage(std::wstring*) /usr/bin/chromium-browser: line 4: 7215 Illegal instruction ./chrome --enable-plugins "$@" I have even tried installing the package built on the laptop (i.e the one that works) and running on the desktop, but still the same error. Anyone have a clue what is going on? I can't tell from the error .. Thanks, Bernie

[aur-general] AUR package updating enhancements
by Nélson «VuDu» Cunha 27 Aug '09

27 Aug '09

Hello, following the weird titled "AUR webpage" thread ( http://www.archlinux.org/pipermail/aur-general/2009-July/thread.html#5602 ) I think the way maintainers handle their packages could have some things simplified. I agree that simple updates to PKGBUILDs should be easier. I've seen many packages with typos in PKGBUILDs, showing that the extra workload of having to archive the files and upload them doesn't necessary make users test things before uploading. That's all up to the maintainer's will to do things right. I think having a simple syntax highlighted code editor to quick edit the PKGBUILD or at least a way to simply update the PKGBUILD without having to archive and upload everything every time would be a great help. Some alternatives google gave me, dunno if there are any better: http://alexgorbatchev.com/wiki/SyntaxHighlighter http://codepress.sourceforge.net/ http://marijn.haverbeke.nl/codemirror/ http://helene.muze.nl/ What do you think?

[aur-general] help requested
by Nathan McBride 27 Aug '09

27 Aug '09

Hey guys, I went to submit my first package, tigervnc-1.0.0-1 and that went well. Then I realized that I forgot to add my name to the top of the PKGBUILD file... Yea I know... So I tried to update the package and couldn't get that to work. (Later finding out that it was because I had the tar.gz file included in my upload and I guess my connection was timing out on a 2.7MB file. Anywho, so I abandoned it thinking if the uploader abandoned it it would delete it, which is not the case. Now when I tried to upload my updated package, it said I no longer have permission to update this package because it is an orphan. My aur name is nmcbride, could someone give me a hand getting the package back so I can upload my update? :D Thanks, Nate

[aur-general] Please delete AUR package "protobuf2"
by Sven-Hendrik Haase 26 Aug '09

26 Aug '09

Hey there, I'm requesting that AUR package "protobuf2" be deleted because it is an updated version of "protobuf" in [community] with no added benefit. On a related note, the "protobuf" [community] package is without a maintainer, yet it would be very easy to maintain and update, any takers? -- Sven-Hendrik

[aur-general] Source code for community packages.
by Xyne 25 Aug '09

25 Aug '09

A small public repo of compiled AUR packages reminded me of something. What's the official policy for providing source code for GPL'd binary packages in [community]? I know there was a long discussion about this with some phraknagging eventually leading to a source "repository" for core and maybe extra. Although it would most likely never happen it is possible for someone to show up after nearly 3 years and request a previous package's source code. I suppose that previously the devs could argue that [community] was "not official" and relegate all obligations to the packagers (although only tentatively). Now that [community] is integrated more tightly with [core] and [extra] it seems that this is something at least worth a discussion. How are sources for [core] and [extra] handled? How is the user actually informed of their availability? Are those source archives mirrored or only hosted on the main server? Is this all irrelevant due to some misunderstanding of the GPL's clauses? How much storage space would it take to hose source files for all current packages that require them (e.g. GPL'd binary apps)? Xyne

[aur-general] AUR deletion request
by keenerd 23 Aug '09

23 Aug '09

I made an app yesterday with a very stupid name. http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=29526 It now has a better name (pacmatic). It is not even a day old at this point, so deleting it won't break much. To prevent this from happening again, my future release schedule will require I get a solid eight hours of sleep between pulling an all nighter to write it and uploading it to the AUR. Thanks! -Kyle

[aur-general] license convention for public domain packages
by Abhishek Dasgupta 22 Aug '09

22 Aug '09

There are widely varying methods for specifying the license of a public domain package in Arch Linux. We should standardise and use one of them. Some packages use - 'Public Domain' (unclutter, python-webpy) - 'PD' (ttf-mph-2b-damase) - I think some packages might also be using 'none'. I saw one package using 'custom:public' (shuffle) Also, there is the question of whether we should have public domain declarations for each package in /usr/share/licenses or put a public domain declaration in /usr/share/licenses/common and refer to that. -- Abhishek

Hi. I wrote a mail to the maintainer of the timer-applet PKGBUILD in AUR back in May and didn't get an answer by now. So it would be nice to orphan the package so I can correct the mistake myself. Thank You Christian Scharkus

The reason it is a private list is that "out > of date" notifications contain private email addresses, and we don't > want them indexed. All the people who have sent me their info now have accounts on the main dev site and can begin adopting packages. Additionally, you should have access to out-of-date notifications for orphans, and a place on the developers page: http://www.archlinux.org/developers/ Usernames are (or should be) the same as on sigurd. For those of you who haven't sent me their info, please do so as per above. For those I added when the new-user form was broken (and injected a wrong password), shoot me an email and I'll fix your password. Side note: I'm planning on moving the aur email off of gerolde onto sigurd, so you guys can manage it like the devs do - my putting an email address in ~/.forward on that machine. Due to this, I set the public email on the developers page to your sigurd username.aur.archlinux.org

Is it possible to have out-of-date notifications to be Cc-ed to the maintainer? Then I can check arch-notifications web interface for the other notifications and still get out-of-date notifications for my packages. Abhishek

[aur-general] Request: Renaming stasks-manager-plasmoid
by Panos ! 19 Aug '09

19 Aug '09

Hello to everyone ;) I'm "Flamelab" from AUR. Can a TU, please, rename my package from "stasks-manager-plasmoid" to "smooth-tasks-plasmoid" ? That happens because it has been renamed upstream and because, after installation, it is referred as "Smooth Tasks" in "Plasmoids" in KDE, instead of "Stasks" I think that if I try to rename it, a new package entry will be generated in AUR (and my package will not be renamed), so I think a TU can do it. Regards, Panos

[aur-general] Orphan and delete requests
by Ranguvar 19 Aug '09

19 Aug '09

Hello, User "Ranguvar" here. I would like to please request that: -- The package 'dolphin-emu-bin<http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=26683>' is deleted. This package is completely broken, and my own package ' dolphin-emu-svn-bin <http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=27400>' provides the same. -- The package 'fluxbox-git <http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=15047>' is orphaned. I have tried contacting the maintainer using several different email addresses, and have failed (waited for several weeks). If he/she shows up again, I'd be glad to hand it back over if he/she wants. I have a completely fixed and revamped PKGBUILD ready. Thanks very much :-) Also, you can expect my TU application in some months, once I have had more experience with the AUR and more experience with C and with CMake, Autotools, etc. ;-) A nice day to you.
