[aur-general] squirrelmail duplicate
by Xavier 15 Oct '08

15 Oct '08

squirrelmail exists in both extra (1.5.2cvs-7) and community (1.4.16-2). Is this normal? If both versions are needed, maybe the first package should be renamed to squirrelmail-cvs or similar.

[aur-general] old tarball recovery?
by Mads Michelsen 15 Oct '08

15 Oct '08

Feeling incredibly daft about this... I adjusted the PKGBUILD for a module i maintain and uploaded it straight away after buildng succesfully. It thus overwrote the old tarball which contained the PKGBUILD plus a patch and an install script. In a stroke of brilliance I then proceeded to delete my local build files and try the new PKGBUILD via yaourt.... Needless to say it doesn't work. This is about as stupid as it gets. I'm having photorec trying to recover the local files but I'm not particularly hopeful. Any chance of recovery on the server? The package is fsaa1655g. - Chochem

Re: [aur-general] "Can't create directory" bug and inaccessible files
by rabyte 15 Oct '08

15 Oct '08

It's several: eduke32-clean, adonthell-wastesedge, alephone, chocolate-doom-svn, probably others... I just updated the darkplaces package, and guess what? It worked! Probably because I created the tgz file using my own "maketar" script (uses standard tar instead of bsdtar btw). So I guess the error really is related to a bug in makepkg. -- Follow The White Rabyte . . .

Your PKGBUILD shows me that you did read the packaging guidelines and recent advices. There have always be discussions about adding a package hat already has a counterpart in some official repo. Normally such packages should not go to AUR and will be deleted. On the other hand we have mplayer-nogui or such things. Maybe this package is another example from that rule. IMHO in packages with many different configure options to choose some of them and to leave ot others can be a contribution of its own. So I would say, go for it. But there my be other opinions.

Hi, Would somebody mind removing asdf-clisp and asdf-install-clisp from AUR? I'm their former maintainer, and a couple of months ago uploaded packages more in line with other distros' Common Lisp package naming conventions. Currently (and for the past couple of months, as a transitional period), the old packages have just been PKGBUILDS that depend on the new ones and do nothing else. Thanks a lot, and sorry for making things difficult! -- If I Am Ever A Heroine... 49.

However, I don't think there is any policy about this. I have seen some "custom" tags, which I can't remember exactly and of course much misuse of the maintainer tag - I am guilty of that one myself. What one could do to prevent further misuse of the Maintainer tag would be introducing a new tag like AUR-Maintainer and put it in the wiki. Notice that this is just an example, I wouldn't be against calling this different. It wouldn't stop the "Maintainer Tag problem" all at once, but it might help reducing it.

[aur-general] TU Application
by Evangelos Foutras 09 Oct '08

09 Oct '08

Hello, My name is Evangelos Foutras. I'm 20 years old and currently a student of Informatics at the University of Piraeus in Athens, Greece. I had my first taste of GNU/Linux a few years back with Mandrake 9.0 (if I remember correctly) that came with a magazine I bought. I didn't know much about computers back then and gave up quickly. Since then, I used Windows (2000 and then XP) pretty much until 2007. At that time I discovered Ubuntu and started messing around with it, setting my system to dual-boot XP and Ubuntu. I gradually increased the time spent on Ubuntu especially during the summer of the same year, and finally dumped Windows all together on Oct 20 2007. I've never looked back since. During this one and a half year, I've tried several distributions, including Fedora and Debian; they were alright. I really liked that Fedora shipped with very up-to-date software and I still use Debian for server environments. My first Arch installation was done this spring but for some reason I can't recall, I went back to Ubuntu the following day. My next Arch encounter I owe to Alex Cartwright, founder of TangoCMS[1]. He had recently switched to Arch himself and urged me to give it another try. This time I got to understand and love the Arch Way, so I didn't bounce. "Love at second sight", I guess. Currently, I maintain 8 packages in AUR. Two of them feature (crappy) software I've authored, two others are new contributions and the rest are orphans I've adopted. I'm somewhat experienced at C, Python, PHP and Bash, skills which have aided in handling issues that arise when packaging a piece of software. Let me say that I'm amazed at the quality of the distribution as a whole, and the tools that have been developed for it. The community is wonderful as well, composed of smart and skillful people who enjoy being of assistance to others. I'd like to get more involved in Arch and help wherever I can; therefore I'm applying for TUship. Daenyth has offered to be my sponsor and I sincerely thank him for that. :) Feel free to ask me any questions you might have. Kind regards, ------------ [1] http://www.tangocms.org/
