[aur-general] I can't update or upload packages in AUR
by José Valecillos 26 Feb '09

26 Feb '09

Hello, I have a problem, when i try to upload any package in AUR here: http://aur.archlinux.org/pkgsubmit.php uploading ends (after ~1 min) by just a blank page. It's AUR bug? I can't update my package about 3 days. I can't upload a new package either. I adopt pcsx-df package, and the sources links in the PKBUILD its broken. This is my PKBUILD: # Maintainer: Jose Valecillos <valecillosjg (at) gmail (dot) com> pkgname=pcsx-df pkgver=1.818 pkgrel=1 pkgdesc="Debian fork of the abandoned original PCSX" arch=(i686 x86_64) url="http://pcsx-df.game-host.org/pcsx-df/" license=('GPL') depends=('libglade' 'libgl' 'libxv' 'alsa-lib' 'bzip2') makedepends=('pkgconfig' 'mesa' 'diffutils') options=('!libtool') provides=('pcsx') source=(http://pcsx-df.game-host.org/pcsx-df/files/pcsx-df-${pkgver}.tar.gz http://pcsx-df.game-host.org/pcsx-df/files/dfOpenGL-1.1.0.tar.gz) [ "${CARCH}" == "i686" ] && makedepends="${makedepends[@]} nasm" build() { cd ${startdir}/src/pcsx-df-${pkgver} flags="--enable-alsa" if [ !

[aur-general] catalyst-beta removed/take care of illegal stuff!
by Andreas Radke 25 Feb '09

25 Feb '09

Today I asked Allan to remove 2 packages from AUR: catalyst-beta and catalyst-utils-beta. I know the situation of the catalyst driver packages isn't in the best state. But breaking laws and license agreements can't solve this in a proper way and we cannot allow to host this on our servers. All members of the AMD/Ati beta project have to sign briefly an agreement to not publish any online location where to get the source, not publish any issues and errors that come up and they even aren't allowed to publish anything about performance changes. Of cause you aren't allowed to give any 3rd person the beta installer directly. The packages in AUR had links to leaked sources directly included. All I know this is also breaking their licenses. That's why we removed these packages. TUs: Please have a look at what comes up in AUR and ask if you find something you are not sure if it allowed to be there. @all: don't blame me for taking you that possibility from you. Go and send a nice thanks to AMD for not doing public beta tests. We - the dev team will soon have to decide about future handling of the stable but almost always broken situation of AMD drivers. -AndyRTR

I meant the automatic removal procedure. But yeah if someone is uncomfortable with swiergot's scarceness he or she is encouraged to motion for removal.

I am preparing another list, but much more extensive. But first I have a question: in unsupported the packages.tar.gz may contain "tarballs" of the sources?, because I see that there are several that have this?

[aur-general] Discussion regarding TU Swiergot
by Ghost1227 21 Feb '09

21 Feb '09

Over the last few months, I have noticed that TU Swiergot has neglected his packages in community. I first noticed this with the cinelerra-cv package which was several months out of date and using the now-defunct cvs repo (cinelerra-cv switched to git two months ago). I posted a cinelerra-cv-git package to the AUR and attempted several times to contact him. Two months went by and I got no reply from any of the several addresses he has, so I discussed the situation with another TU, then updated his cinelerra-cv package and sent him another email notifying him of the update. I have since taken a look through his packages and the bugtracker. He has several packages marked out of date (and some have comments explaining fixes), as well as a handful of open bugs on the bugtracker. Since I have been unable to contact him through any means, I propose orphaning his packages so that more available TUs can take over the responsibility for them. There are several that I would be happy to take over (assaultcube, cinelerra-cv, cube, dosemu, fcrackzip, nexuiz, qemu-launcher, stegdetect, steghide, supertux and maybe a few others), and some of his packages (including some of the ones i'll take) should be dropped to the AUR.

I deleted micq (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=7928) because last update was 2006 and the maintainer did not respond to the comments of several users (program was renamed to climm). For the other packages I left a comment. The AUR comment page looks strange. Where I expect the comment button, there is the word "poop". http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=20933 is okay, there are only small files uploaded. http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=14252 is okay, too.

[aur-general] Taking over abandoned but not orphaned package
by Andrei Thorp 20 Feb '09

20 Feb '09

Hello, I'm trying to slowly work my way into the Arch Community, and I'm starting by taking over some packages on AUR. One that I use myself and would like to take over is the package for DevTodo. This package has been unmaintained for at least a few months now, and the maintainer's e-mail bounces. The package is flagged out of date and doesn't build without modification. I've got an updated PKGBUILD and have filed a bug to the author at some point. I also run this software on both my 32 and 64 bit machines. Any chance a TU could pass on maintainership to me, or at least orphan the package? I've read that usually there is a warning to the maintainer, but he seems to be unreachable. Thanks, -Andrei Thorp

[aur-general] DomainU don't seem to boot with xen 3.3.1-1

Hi everyone, I upgraded my Arch install with the latest release and then installed Xen 3.3.1-1 on it. I booted successfully the Domain0 I wanted to install/test a new ArchLinux system as DomainU so I created a new DomainU (named arch-test) with the these settings : " # -*- mode: python; -*- #============================================================================ kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18.8-1-xenU" memory = 256 name = "Arch-Test" disk = [ 'file:/home/xen/arch-test/arch-test.img,hda1,w', 'file:/home/xen/arch-test/arch-test-swap,hda2,w' ] root = "/dev/hda1 ro" " When I enter : "xm create -c arch-test" on a xterm I get : 1- some messages from Python indicating there is some depreciated module (sha) 2- a new Qemu window (black background) 3- nothing else 4- after about 1 min the Qemu window disappear and I get a message error about vif I googled 2 days about this problem without any result. My question is : - Is my DomainU boots ? how I can see it ? - I tried to boot from an iso (xen option : boot='d') but this doesn't work at all... may be the same problem ?

[aur-general] missing licenses
by Abhishek Dasgupta 19 Feb '09

19 Feb '09

The [community] packages which do not have a license: (list does not contain lib32* packages) * deb2targz: Appears to be a simple script file, without any kind of license information. * flightgear-atlas * gps * hula * kbd-ru-keymaps * p3scan: GPL with some OpenSSL exception. [1] * t1utils: custom license [2] * whitebox * xchatosd If some of these do not genuinely have a license, I think it's best to contact the upstream author and ask if we can distribute the binary; otherwise the package should be moved to unsupported.

[aur-general] TU Resignation angvp
by Angel Velásquez 16 Feb '09

16 Feb '09

Hi all, I've thinking this for a while, and it is, I quit (I had many doubts about if I am doing the right thing, so this wasn't an easy choice). I want to thank those all people who helped me (hdoria, Allan, BaSh, voidnull, dsa, bardo, and someother ppl), and I beg to the people that I've sponsored (Anders,haawda,even,ornitorrincos) don't feel disappointed, I trusted you to be here, and I hope to have you here for long time :-). Unfortunatelly, I got disappointed with many things, then I lost my enthusiasm... So I decided to left apart the crew and make more effort on other goals in my life. I will continue using Arch (until now I still thinking "Arch is the best distro that I found"), but I won't continue collaborating like I usually did, but surelly I will be pleased to be helpful if anyone needs me. This was a good chapter in my life, because I really enjoyed being a TU and being a part of an important Open Source project (for me Arch was very important in my life). Feel free to grab and drop any of my packages, I won't continue maintaining them, for now no-one is out-of-date, just mysql-gui-tools, because r14 isn't easy at all to build, and I tried several times but I failed to package a version with this release.. Best wishes for you, and I hope the project gets more enthusiastic people (like the great community that we have) everyday, and maybe (who knows?) I will got involved again. -- Angel 'angvp' Velásquez angvp @ irc.freenode.net Linux Counter: #359909 Arch Linux Trusted User (I really will miss this part of my signature)

[aur-general] TU Resignation
by Anders Bergh 16 Feb '09

16 Feb '09

Hi, With the news of angvp just resigning... well, I've also thought about resigning for some time now. I don't really have a lot of time for TU work because of real life stuff, so I've neglected it too much recently. That is why I feel I shouldn't really be a TU anymore. My packages in community are: 6tunnel dmd (out-dated) dsss (maybe out-dated) libphobos (out-dated) libtango (probably out-dated) luafilesystem luajit luasql-mysql premake (out-dated) I've orphaned them and the following AUR packages since I don't really have time to maintain them: libtango-svn lualdap lualogging luasql-sqlite3 nano-svn neverball-svn php-xcache wol I wish the best of luck to all the current and future TUs out there. -- Anders Bergh
