[aur-general] Requesting orphanage of clusterssh
by Dominik Schips 29 Jul '09

29 Jul '09

I am interested in taking up maintaining clusterssh. http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=3228 The current maintainer Macfly didn't put a email address in the PKGBUILD or in his AUR account. So I couldn't contact him to update the package. :( He also didn't respond on comments in aur so I assume he is no longer interested in maintaining the package. Please can a TU orphan the package that I can adopt it. I have a working PKGBUILD for the new clusterssh 3.26 ready to be uploaded. -- Best regards Dominik Schips

[aur-general] Requesting orphanage of drbd
by edac val 29 Jul '09

29 Jul '09

I am interested in taking up maintaining drbd (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=10081) in the AUR, and the current maintainer has been inactive for almost a year. I tried contacting him via email but he has not responded, so I can only assume that he is no longer interested in maintaining either. If a TU could set me as the maintainer or orphan package that would be great, as I have PKGBUILDS that are completely updated and function ready to be uploaded.

[aur-general] can't build ntfs-config
by mathieu p 25 Jul '09

25 Jul '09

Hi, I wonder why, but a friend of mine can't build ntfs-config. I don't hnow why, since he has all the libraries required. He gets this error message : checking for pygtk >= 2.6.0 installed... not found configure: error: required pygtk version not found make: *** Pas de cibles spécifiées et aucun makefile n'a été trouvé. Arrêt. ==> ERREUR: La compilation a échoué. Abandon... (it's french, yes) There is some trouble here, because the latest version of pygtk is 2.14.1, but it works just fine on my Arch. Maybe the fact that he is on i686 and that I am on x86_64 may play a role, I don't know, or maybe there is a missing library that is not specified (which I have and he has not)… Since it is in python, I made a package for «any» arch, but if anyone can find where the problem is, that would be nice ! (the problem is known for a long time now, but still not solved) Thanks.

Please delete the package pyjama-latest ( http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=27059) I created it because the package pyjama was not as up-to-date as I wanted it, but it was not very clever, since the version I put in was unstable… So I created pyjama-bzr, and pyjama remains stable, so you can delete this one.

[aur-general] java package has build time deps
by svoufff 21 Jul '09

21 Jul '09

Hi, i'm working on a PKGBUILD for jsampler-cvs.This is a java frontend to Linuxsampler. This app requires 4 more java libraries to be present at build time in a subdir of the source.These are jlscp.jar, juife.jar, swingx.jar and substance.jar.All of these are only needed for build, I ran the program without them installed just to check. What would be the best way to do ? put them in the makedepends array : that means packaging 4 more libs to AUR, forces the user to install these libraries on system, absolutely unneeded for running jsampler, since they are somewhat integrated to jsampler.jar during build.And it would still require to copy them from their install path to the source/subdir of jsampler to be able to build... or put them in the sources array and copy them the source/subdir before building, so they are just used for build and not installed.That works but is it the "good" way ? or something else ?

[aur-general] Protection of guidelines.
by Eric Bélanger 21 Jul '09

21 Jul '09

Hi, To fix the issue posted here in FS#15611, I've protected the 3 guidelines linkedn on the AUR home page: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR_User_Guidelines http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR_Trusted_User_Guidelines http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_Packaging_Standards Therefore, regular users can no longer edit them. Only wiki sysop/admin can do that now. Most of the devs have these privileges so just post the wanted change here and someone will do them. These pages don't change a lot except maybe Arch_Packaging_Standards (I could unprotect it if it's wanted) so it shouldn't be any problem. Another possibility could be to give to some TU wiki sysop privileges. Eric

Re: [aur-general] Initial manual cleanup

Renaming packages is no longer necessary. In fact, the scripts require the arch in the package now. You're using the same scripts which run the official repos, so they should do things correctly.
