[aur-general] GAIM-related packages in AUR
by Ivy Foster 09 Apr '08

09 Apr '08

So thanks to a typo while looking for a package using yaourt, yesterday I discovered that although GAIM itself is no longer available from Arch proper or from AUR, there are still several packages in the AUR related to GAIM, many of which are orphaned and few if any of which have been updated in over a year. I'd like to suggest that unless any folks still maintaining these packages object, that they be removed, what with GAIM being superseded by pidgin/finch/libpurple. Hopefully this won't cause too much controversy :-). Thanks!

[aur-general] eet alpha version
by Igor "FeR" Scabini 08 Apr '08

08 Apr '08

There is a alpha version of eet as you can read here: http://xenos.altervista.org/blogs/index.php?blog=3&title=enlightenment_dr17… I wrote a PKGBUILD for this version and named it simply eet, the PKGBUILD could be found here: http://xenos.altervista.org/blogs/index.php?blog=3&title=eet_pkgbuild_della… but AUR didn't permit me to upload that package due to: You are not allowed to overwrite the eet package. I also opened a thread in Archlinux forum you can find here: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=350841#p350841 what I have to do now? Is it possible to upload that package? -- Igor "FeR" Scabini ================================================= url: http://xenos.altervista.org ..primavera non bussa, lei entra sicura.. - F.

[aur-general] Should I bring rpm/dkpg to community
by Allan McRae 07 Apr '08

07 Apr '08

Hi TU's, I was wondering what peoples opinions are about putting rpm/dpkg in [community]. They both have a descent number of votes (27 & 33) so people obviously find them useful. Does anyone have objections about their "unArchness" (it is a real word, honest!)? It is what has stopped me moving dpkg so far... Allan

[aur-general] stepping down
by Vinay S Shastry 06 Apr '08

06 Apr '08

Hello dear TUs, Life's calling, I've gotta go! :) Busy days are here, lots of work, lots to study. Bylaws suggest that TU should step down if planning on going inactive for more than 2 months (which I am). It's been a pleasure being involved with the tu community for almost 2 years. Thanks! After qt4 got into extra, there has not been much to maintain. Also, I recently updated my few packages (i686 only) without licenses to include it. So, not much trouble from my side I hope! Here's a list of packages I maintain for your ready reference.

[aur-general] New packages, quick question Re: proposals
by Ivy Foster 06 Apr '08

06 Apr '08

Hi, folks... I started using Arch about a month ago, and recently decided it might be good to (a) pick up orphaned packages I find useful (1 so far) and (b) upload new packages that might be useful. Therefore, I've adopted the ps annotator flpsed and submitted a few packages for clisp that are either built in to sbcl (asdf, asdf-install) or were packaged specifically for sbcl on AUR (cl-ppcre, stumpwm). That brings me to my question. If I wanted to, say, submit a clisp module/library packaging standards proposal, would I just write it up and send it here? Basically, I'd like to see a few things happen, particularly in regards to packaging programs for specific lisp implementations when they don't need to be (I'd be fine seeing the packages I uploaded merged with someone else's PKGBUILD, for example) and in regards to where things get put, just so things don't end up being all haphazard. Thanks a lot! Ivy

[aur-general] help needed with x86_64
by Firmicus 28 Mar '08

28 Mar '08

I am willing to kill this http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/9765 I have built texlive-bin on i686 a long time ago, and some other TU took care of providing it for Arch64. But recently, to my great surprise, the above bug report was issued. (Quite amazing!) A few days ago I decided to liberate a partition and install Arch64 on it. I must say, it went without a glitch, and from now on I will be able to help keeping x86_64 in sync with i686 (I used Aaron's machine for a while, but for some packages it is not convenient, or even impossible to rely on a chroot). So last night I issued a makepkg for texlive-bin on my arch64 system and went to bed. But this morning I saw that the build had failed. I have a strong intuition that this is related to gcc 4.3, because I have had a similar issue with another package which compiled fine with gcc 4.2.3 on i686 but failed with gcc 4.3. Since I really have no time to investigate the problem and eventually make a patch for gcc 4.3, I would prefer to downgrade to gcc 4.2.3 and try to see if it works. Also, since TeXLive 2008 will be available in about two months, I don't want to spend too much time on the 2007 version. Does anybody have a copy of gcc-4.2.3-*-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz lying in its cache? I guess I'd need the corresponding gcc-libs too. That'd be a great help (well, I hope!) Thanks, Firmicus

[aur-general] Keeping community64 up to date
by Allan McRae 28 Mar '08

28 Mar '08

Hi, I have come to realize that the current way of keeping community64 in sync could use some improving. I realized this when looking at the pkg_diff web page [1] thinking I would build some packages. After being distracted by the internet for a few minutes... I reloaded the page and noticed that some of the packages had been uploaded. Now had I actually built those packages, it would have been a waste of time. Also, I'm never sure how much time to wait and see whether the TU who uploaded the i686 package is going to upload the x86_64 package. How can this be improved? The best I can come up with is making a wiki page with a list of x86_64 build requests. TU's who upload a i686 package and are not going to build the x86_64 package themselves would need to add the package to the page. Think of it as punishment for not building it yourself. :) When someone else goes to build the package they either remove it from the list or tag that it is being built. That probably isn't the best idea, but I feel that the current system is a bit flawed. Any other suggestions/comments? Allan [1] http://dev.archlinux.org/~andyrtr/pkg_diff.html

[aur-general] List of packages with no license information in core, extra and community
by Ronald van Haren 26 Mar '08

26 Mar '08

Hi all, I just came across some package in extra and noticed it had no license information at all in the PKGBUILD (though the package is not even gpl). So I got the idea of checking if more packages had this problem and came up with a list of the core, extra and community repositories (it should be easy to run the script for unstable and testing too if required). Please all take a look at the list and fix the packages. It really are too much packages without license information! Respective bug reports can be found for core & extra: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/9971 community: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/9970 I also attached the lists to this mail. Regards, Ronald

[aur-general] Problems uploading i686 packages to community?

I am having trouble getting a package into i686 community. I have used communitypkg to upload teeworlds twice and it does not appear in AUR. The x86_64 version uploaded without a problem. Looking at the pkg_diff page (http://dev.archlinux.org/~andyrtr/pkg_diff.html) the last four packages are uploaded to x86_64 only, although from web cvs the latest versions all appear tagged for CURRENT. It could be a coincidence though... Am I missing something? Thanks, Allan
