[aur-general] Resignation from Trusted User position
by Thomas Dziedzic 13 Jan '15

13 Jan '15

Hey yall, I would like to send in my resignation as Archlinux Trusted User. I haven't been active as a TU for a while so I think it's time to throw in the towel. I am still going to stay as a archlinux developer, actively maintaining the ghc/cabal-install/haskell rebuilds. Thanks for the great times :) - Thomas Dziedzic (aka td123)

[aur-general] KDE Frameworks 5 packages naming
by Evgeniy Alekseev 12 Jan '15

12 Jan '15

Hi, Is there a recommended way to naming KF5 additional components (like applets or themes) in AUR? We have a paper [1] which describes compnent naming for KDE4, but haven't one for KF5. For example atm we have applet "plasma-nm" [2] so should applet be named as "plasma-appletname"? I suppose they should be named as "kf5plasma-applet- appletname" on the analogy of KDE4 components. 1. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/KDE_package_guidelines 2. https://www.archlinux.org/packages/?q=plasma-nm -- Sincerely yours, Evgeniy Alekseev e-mail: darkarcanis(a)mail.ru ICQ: 407-398-235 Jabber: arcanis(a)jabber.ru

[aur-general] lib32-bluez & lib32-bluez4
by Que Quotion 11 Jan '15

11 Jan '15

I've submitted a new lib32-bluez package (bluez5 stack) to the AUR. bluez5 is a non-trival upgrade, so in case anyone depends on it, I resubmitted the original as lib32-bluez4.

[aur-general] Compiz package naming
by Rob McCathie 09 Jan '15

09 Jan '15

Hello AUR general & Compiz package maintainers. There was some discussion about Compiz packages a little while ago, i don't think that much came of it. I'd like to re-open the discussion. My opinions/suggestions: Calling the 0.8 series "compiz" and the 0.9 series "compiz-devel" is no longer correct, it hasn't been for quite some time. All information on this page: http://www.compiz.org/ is completely wrong and out of date, like 5 years out of date, and should not be used as a reference for anything. Tracking of the state of Compiz should be done from here: https://launchpad.net/compiz Development of the 0.8 series is as close to being dead as it could be. Unless you count 2 tiny commits 5 months ago, nothing has been done in 16 months, and even that 16 month old commit was a minor change just to get it working with KDE 4.10, with the commit prior to that being an additional 5 months back. http://cgit.compiz.org/compiz/core/log/?h=compiz-0.8 My suggestion is pretty simple, "compiz" becomes the 0.9 series, the 0.8 series becomes "compiz-legacy". Any 0.9 series packages that have "core" in their name should have it removed, since the concept of Compiz being split up has been dropped since the 0.9 series. The 0.9 series doesn't have a "core" component, it's just "compiz". Some examples: martadinata666's "compiz-core" package would become "compiz-legacy-core" dev_rs0's "compiz-core-devel" package would become simply "compiz" Chazza's "compiz-core-bzr" package would become "compiz-bzr" flexiondotorg's "compiz-core-mate" package would become "compiz-legacy-core-mate" My "compiz-gtk-standalone" package would become "compiz-legacy-gtk-standalone" All the "compiz-fusion-plugins-*" packages would become "compiz-legacy-fusion-plugins-*" ...and so on. What are everyone's thoughts? -- Regards, Rob McCathie

[aur-general] cmake does not (necessarily) honor makepkg.conf
by Que Quotion 08 Jan '15

08 Jan '15

I first came across this problem while working on mmug-qq (a project to create updated and upstream packages for various build dependencies of pcsx2) when I found that some cmake packages would not compile in 32bit with any configuration. It took some digging, but I finally determined that I had indeed exhausted every appropriate option. Something was blocking, ignoring, or removing my settings; preventing packages from being built with the parameters I specified in makepkg.conf and in the PKGBUILDs. The problem is cmake, or more specifically it's various layers of macros. Many cmake packages fail to pass CFLAGS, CXXFLAGS, and LDFLAGS through the various macros to make; some packages ignore these variables entirely. This does not appear to be intentional; I did not find code explicitly stripping away or replacing flags. I found that many of the macros just lost them somewhere; failed to transfer them to cmake variables that would be used later; or inexplicably make with no flags at all for no reason. The only way I could convince cmake packages to always use all of the flags specified in makepkg.conf and/or in the PKGBUILD was to deceive it; to force it to use compilers and a linker with the flags built in. So I created three files: gcc-flagged: /usr/bin/gcc $CFLAGS "$@" g++-flagged: /usr/bin/g++ $CXXFLAGS "$@" ld-flagged: /usr/bin/ld $LDFLAGS "$@" and added this to sources(): {gcc,g++,ld}-flagged and this to the cmake call: -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER="$srcdir"/gcc-flagged \ -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER="$srcdir"/g++-flagged \ -DCMAKE_LINKER="$srcdir"/ld-flagged For an example, check out my sdl2-hg-multilib packaging: https://github.com/quequotion/mmug-qq/tree/master/sdl2-hg-multilib

[aur-general] Orphan packages, Policy on bots
by David Phillips 07 Jan '15

07 Jan '15

Hi all, I've been looking at writing a small bot which will crawl over orphaned packages' PKGBUILDs, performing analysis and gathering stats. For example, I'm really keen on making an attempt to clean a bunch of them up. 25% of the 53587 packages in the AUR today are orphans and, like many others, I'd like to see this number decreased. In the past, I have manually gone down the list of orphans, but that's just horrible and slow (also, can't get my browser to do HTTP head requests). So naturally, I started writing a bot. I did start thinking about having the bot comment on packages with dead end sources, but soon realised this would complicate things too much if it were to stop repeating itself each time it is run etc. Being able to pull various lists (for humans, not bots, to act up) out of a magic hat. As a random example, it'd be useful to pull out a list of packages which: * Are orhpans * Have less than five votes * Have dead end sources * Haven't been updated in the last year So we could send a couple of people to, eg, adopt or file appropriate requests. So anyway, I've seen wiki bots doing their thing on our wiki, but what's the policy on AUR bots? -- Four word witty remark

[aur-general] Rules about providing "compiled" documentation
by JoKoT3 06 Jan '15

06 Jan '15

Hello, I maintain the package gnuplot-nox [1], which is a low dependency version of extra package gnuplot [2]. Until recently, I was building and installing the gnuplot.info file (texinfo format) using file gnuplot.texi which was provided in the archive. (generation goes this way : gnuplot.doc -> gnuplot.texi -> gnuplot.info). The latest release of gnuplot (5.0) does not provide the intermediate texi file anymore. Without it, I cannot generate the info file directly, I have to use emacs to generate the texi file. This bring a new build dependency to the package. I'm looking for advises on how to deal with the situation : 1/ Can I provide a locally built gnuplot.info in the package ? Does this respect the standard ? 2/ Should I give up on providing the info file ? 3/ Should I keep the emacs build-deps and keep building the info file ? Not really low-dependency... Also note that generating the info file is not a default target of the Makefile since version 4.6.4. The only other "usable" source of documentation I can provide with the package is the gnuplot.pdf file which is still present in the archive. Regards, [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gnuplot-nox/ [2] https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/gnuplot/

[aur-general] pacworld(3) in AUR
by Troy Engel 03 Jan '15

03 Jan '15

Wondering what the right thing to do here is -- there is/was a package "pacworld" that has a dead homepage and source is no longer available (Dropbox link). Someone else came along (violating the guidelines) and made a 'pacworld3' package pointing at another download location of a newer Dropbox tarball, it's also dead now as well. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/?O=0&C=0&SeB=nd&K=pacworld&outdated=&SB=… I Google around and found the author on Github, but his copy of the code is pre either of these packages. Another google hit found a pastebin.com "version" of the later code but it's veracity is questionable. My end opinion is this code is dead and neither package can be rebuilt (kinda sad, as I thought it sounded interesting) and looks to have just died upstream. Should we file a delete request for these in AUR? What's the standard process in this situation to clean things up when upstream/sources disappear? -te

[aur-general] Renaming nimrod-git to nim-git
by Erik Johansson Andersson 03 Jan '15

Hello. The Nimrod programming language has been renamed to Nim, so I'd like to rename the nimrod-git package. I accidentally created nim-git though, but the history should be kept.

[aur-general] More trolling

Hi AUR general, Previous related posts: https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/aur-general/2014-July/029069.html https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/aur-general/2014-November/029845.html Once again the pathetic individual who spends their life trolling Manjaro devs is using AUR as a platform for abuse. This is their most recent account: https://aur.archlinux.org/account/AllenMcrea/ As others have mentioned previously, AUR admins/TUs may want to consider disallowing "minute-mail" type email services from signing up. Here's the recent activity from the troll (also note it could be argued that they're trying to impersonate Allan McRae), i would appreciate if the comments that are simply insulting or that claim my packages broke something, when they clearly do not, could be deleted: ---------- Your package aqualung has been flagged out of date by AllenMcrea [1].

This probably belongs better on aur-general, so I've reposted it here.

Installing to /srv is definitely not encouraged. However, I don't know if that is enough to justify deletion. Generally, packages are only deleted if they are absolutely unuseable, completely malicious, etc. because even if the package is broken, someone else can update or fix the PKGBUILD in the future.
