[aur-general] pdfsam in aur broken. I can't reupload the package.
by Tom 25 Aug '08

25 Aug '08

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, ...so i didn't know makepkg --source was broken and i've uploaded a source .tar.gz made with it. At first AUR only decompressed the PKGBUILD and not the other file which was a symbolick link actually, so because i didn't know what happened and I was suggested to, I've reupload it, so now the aur server has a pdfsam directory inside a pdfsam directory. Now i cannot do anything with that package, so it must be fixed inside the aur server internally. Could someone help and fix it so i can reupload a .tar.gz made with aurball this time? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAkix5S8ACgkQRScp7ATOSDyLPQCg51XuzOkIKO0ftmGyW1hjLMHM ZxoAn3Gwf/Ac4/Dzi2UWMh6EHTJTQI0Z =ORVn -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

[aur-general] Something wrong about libgl, mesa
by zhengyi 25 Aug '08

25 Aug '08

Hi, In the pkg-config files( /usr/lib/pkgconfig/gl.pc etc.), the prefix is set as "/home/jan/svn/........." It is a local path of the computer of <jgc(a)archlinux.org> . I dare say that is wrong! When I run "pkg-config gl --cflags", it told me that wrong path. Would you re-make the packages(mesa libgl) ? Cheers!

[aur-general] Hello (and kbib and yazpp packages)
by Peter Lewis 24 Aug '08

24 Aug '08

Hello! I'm pretty new to Arch, so thought I'd say hi. Also, I appear to have got involved in making pkgbuilds pretty soon too :-) I've taken over maintainership of KBib (a KDE bibliography manager) in the AUR, after an email exchange with the previous maintainer, who's no longer using Arch. I also had to create a pkgbuild for a depdenency, yaz++, the C++ bindings (so far as I can tell) for yaz, which is in community. They're both there under my name (petelewis) if anyone's interested. I'm not sure if the yaz maintainer might be interested in this... Anyway, so just thought I'd say hi, and if anyone has any feedback on these first two packages, that'd be much appreciated. :-) Pete.

After that, it should work perfectly. I am not sure that it is worth supporting the old DLAGENTS array for this new filename feature, but at least makepkg should exit more gracefully and warn about the problem.

[aur-general] Applying for TU-ship
by stefan-husmann＠t-online.de 23 Aug '08

23 Aug '08

Hello, my name is Stefan Husmann, I am 40 years old and live near Hanover in Germany. I am working for a big ITC company as system administrator and in projects. I was encouraged by Ángel Velásquez to apply for TU-status. With this mail I want to do that. At the time I maintain 108 packages in AUR. Not all of them were written my me, but some of them I made after package requests on archlinux.org. Also I am active in the forums at archlinux.org and archlinux.de. I consider myself still being in a learning phase. Two months or so I was not able to do a proper patching of packages, now I am. So packaging is a hobby to me now. I only own a i686 computer, have no experience with the x86_64 architecture. Building packages for both arches seems a lot of work to me, especially if you are bound to a remote machine. So as a TU I would have to concentrate a bit more on really important packages. But on the other hand it is hard for me to see orphaned packages lying around, an often I pick them. :) In the forums i act under my real name, in AUR I have a nick, haawda. I can change that if you mind. I speak german, english and with the help of dictionaries and a lot of time I might decrypt a french text also. Please consider voting for me. Sincerely Stefan

[aur-general] TU Application
by Marcos Piccinini 23 Aug '08

23 Aug '08

Morning gentleman, I would like to post here my TU application. My name is Marcos A G. Piccinini, I`m brazilian, 23 years old and I love Archlinux since somewhere in 2007 (yea.. at first sight). My contribution so far: * 16 pkts - http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?SeB=m&K=nofxx * Started (to be finished) http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ArchTrack * PT-BR Translation - http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Guia_do_Iniciante%28Português_do_Brasil… * Often on freenode`s ##arch-br channel helping my fellow mates. * Made ppl use archlinux. Made my mom use archlinux! (and she loves it, with 128x128px icons on the desktop: internet, write, freecell. Sometimes she wonders about that black command line when the "internets are broken" and she still calls the OS 'computer' but..... =). There was this time too, I`ve hold a gun to a guys head until the installation was complete. Jokes apart, I`m not an expert or guru and that`s not much, but I wish to help, to contribute and learn with this community .... Thank you for your time,

[aur-general] Orphans in community

Hi, after the resigns of Shinlun and Bjorn, we decided to orphanize all of their packages, any TU can adopt them, else packages that won't be adopted will move it to unsupported. (I think if someone *not-tu* thinks that can maintain many of these packages, should send a TU application then.)

I just untagged assaultcube half an hour or so ago but it seems it haven't helped a bit (so we have to retag it again when it is fxed). I found it a bit strange that the repo version is 0.93-2 when the message is about 0.93-1. Anyone any ideas?

[aur-general] Makepkg does not include one file
by Dan Vratil 22 Aug '08

22 Aug '08

Hi, that's me again... I have a problem with makepkg...when making tarball for the nvidia-utils-beta package, I just enter the folder and run 'makepkg --source', which packs all files from 'source' +PKGBUILD into the tarball.... In nvidia-utils-beta, there is 'supported-cards.txt' file. When I use 'makepkg --source', it says -> Adding supported-cards.txt... But when I unpack the created tarball, there is just a symlink, which probably links itself. When I make the tarball manually using tar and gzip, everything works...this is extremely strange - it was always working, I don't understand what has happend. Please, any ideas?

[aur-general] e17 packages
by Ronald van Haren 21 Aug '08

21 Aug '08

Hi! This mail is intended for all e17 users, as well as people maintaining packages which depend on the e17 community packages. The people over at enlightenment thought it was a good idea to swith from CVS to SVN, rendering all PKGBUILDs more or less useless (the switch was completed at the 18th of August). What does this mean: - all community packages have been renamed to the new naming convention (all except e-modules-extra-svn have only changed from -cvs to -svn - in the progress of converting the PKGBUILDs two more packages have been included in [community], namely ewl-svn and elitaire-svn - if everything goes as planned the upgrade should be relatively painless except for the ones having additional AUR packages installed with an explicit dependency on a -cvs package instead of a dependency on the provides line which have always been there. In this case I suggest to remove these packages before the upgrade, and compile them with new depends after the upgrade. There is no need to force as you should need to rebuld those anyways ;) - for people maintaining packages from the official enlightenment mirrors, please change your packages to incorporate the switch to SVN. For the ones maintaining packages depending on any of the e17 community packages, be aware that the naming has changed. - the installation instructions are updated in the wiki (same as before only -svn instead of -cvs). Regards, Ronald

[aur-general] 500 Haskell packages now in AUR

10 weeks after the Arch Haskell group started, there are now 500 Haskell packages bundled up for Arch. I've written about how we automated the construction of Arch packages from Haskell Cabal format, via the cabal2arch tool, and a small survey of 10 nice packages from the set, here, http://cgi.cse.unsw.edu.au/~dons/blog/2008/08/21#the_500 Cheers, Don
