[aur-general] Package review request
by Stefan Auditor 16 Mar '17

16 Mar '17

Hi list, creating a PKGBUILD[1] for Traefik[2], a reverse proxy, I would like to have it reviewed, as this is the first package I do that is containing a service. I tried following the Arch packaging standards[3] but am fairly sure I missed things. Other than that it's a Golang project, so I just have a binary and some configuration files to package. Thank you for your time. Stefan [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/traefik-bin/ [2] https://github.com/containous/traefik [3] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_packaging_standards

[aur-general] VCS package guidelines
by Ralf Mardorf 09 Mar '17

09 Mar '17

Hi, my understanding is, that if possible, it should look like this 1.2.r3.gabcdef7 and not alternatively 1.2_r3_gabcdef7 or 1.2_3_gabcdef7 A maintainer disagrees: "The pkgver extracts on the wiki are not there as strict rules that you need to comply with, but simply as examples that produce good, incrementing pkgvers." It's not important what AUR package I'm talking about, I just want to ensure that I'm not mistaken. Regards, Ralf

[aur-general] TU Application: Christian Rebischke
by Christian Rebischke 01 Mar '17

01 Mar '17

Hello everyone, I am Christian Rebischke (in the internet mostly known as 'shibumi') and I would like to increase my work in the Arch Linux Community and become Arch Linux TU. Thanks to Florian Pritz (bluewind) for being my sponsor. Maybe you know me already from the Arch Linux Security Team [1], but let me introduce me first. I was born in Goslar (Germany) in 1992 and I had first contact with Arch Linux with around 18. This is now more than 6 years ago. Before I had a long journey through the debian world with Ubuntu and Debian. Currently I study computer science at TU-Clausthal and I am halftime employed as Software Engineer at our Institute for Software Systems Engineering and as System Administrator at our Datacenter and the Institute for Mathematics [2]. January 2015 I started with my work in the Arch Linux Security Team and around half a year later I became official member of Arch Linux Security Team. If I recall correctly I pushed my first package into the AUR in 2014. At the moment I maintain 45 packages in the AUR [3]. Most of them are vim-plugins, python libraries or tools for malware analysis. I am interested in malware analysis, reverse engineering, large scale system administration, devops. I know python, bash, C, C++, Java, x86 assembler and some Rust, but I wouldn't call my self a professional developer. (Something that I want to change with my job in the Institute for Software Systems Engineering). Moreover I am quite active in the opensource community. I contributed small patches to systemd and others. The current project that I support with pull requests is powerlevel9k [4], a nice powerline for zsh. Non-technical interests are asian languages like Chinese (你们好，我会说一点点中文） and japanese (今日はみなさん), asian culture and cooking. If I become a TU I would want to adopt the following orphan packages in [community]: - ascii - audit - bup - connman Furthermore I would like to push the following packages from [AUR] to [community] (if the maintainers agree with it): - arch-audit - systemtap I also provide an Arch Linux Vagrant box and I would love to get 1-2 other people together and doing some official out of this [5]. I currently only provide virtualbox as hypervisor. My plan are monthly snapshots like CentOS does. Best ways to contact me are IRC (I am on freenode, oftc and hackint as shibumi and hangout in different #archlinux channels like #archlinux.de) the german archlinux.de forum and mail. My PGP Key fingerprint is: 6DAF 7B80 8F9D F251 3962 0000 D214 61E3 DFE2 060D best regards, Chris [1] https://www.archlinux.org/people/support-staff/ [2] https://en.nullday.de/about/ [3] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/?SeB=m&K=Shibumi [4] https://github.com/bhilburn/powerlevel9k [5] https://atlas.hashicorp.com/archlinux/boxes/archlinux/

[aur-general] aurweb 4.5.0 released
by Pablo Roberto Lezaeta Reyes 01 Mar '17

01 Mar '17

>Dear aurweb contributors and users, > >aurweb 4.5.0 has just been released. Ack, translations! I don't remember an anouncement about the string freeze, so now many languages have missing string, but better just wait until 4.5.1 to let the teams catch the 4.5 new strings. But My question is "what is the order used for short the packages?" -- *Pablo Lezaeta*

Hi all, I'm trying to create an account in the AUR, I fill in the data and hit Create, but I just get this undescriptive error at the top: Error trying to create account, *'chibby0ne'*. I've tried it in Chrome, Chromium and Firefox so far. The aurweb version is 4.5. Any ideas? Thanks in advance

[aur-general] aurweb 4.5.0 released
by Lukas Fleischer 26 Feb '17

26 Feb '17

Dear aurweb contributors and users, aurweb 4.5.0 has just been released. You will notice that after logging in, the home page is now replaced by a dashboard which shows your flagged packages and your recent package requests, followed by a list of your packages. There also is a list of packages you co-maintain which hopefully makes co-maintainers' lives easier. Moreover, co-maintainers of packages now receive out-of-date notifications. In your account settings, you can now specify a timezone which will be used to format dates and times throughout the whole aurweb interface. The most notable internal improvements were made in password security. The minimum password length was bumped to 8 characters. Passwords are now hashed using bcrypt instead of MD5. The conversion from MD5 to bcrypt is done automatically when logging in. We thus recommend to log out of the aurweb interface and log in again. There were also improvements to the SSH interface, including new commands to vote for packages and flag packages out-of-date. For a comprehensive list of changes, please consult the Git log [2]. As usual, bugs should be reported to the aurweb bug tracker [3]. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/ [2] https://projects.archlinux.org/aurweb.git/log/?id=v4.5.0 [3] https://bugs.archlinux.org/index.php?project=2

[aur-general] Pruning Old / Abandoned Packages
by Dan B 23 Feb '17

23 Feb '17

Hi, I've been wading through orphaned AUR packages and submitting removal requests for projects that are abandoned upstream. Are there generally any rules of thumb I should be following? Currently I've been considering the following before submitting a removal request: 1. Is the upstream project abandoned? 2. When was the package flagged out of date? (If applicable) 3. When the package was last updated? 4. When the last comment was made on a package? Suggestions are welcome!
