[aur-general] Problems with scilab packages
by Stefan Husmann 25 Apr '09

25 Apr '09

Hello, I have a strange problem with the scilab packages I maintain in [community]. The i686 version lacks a directory /usr/share/scilab/modules/helptools/jar/ , which is needed for the help browser. The package for x86_64 has this directory. I have no idea why this ist the case, since they both use the same PKGBUILD. Any hints are appreciated. Regards Stefan

[aur-general] This is intentional [community/x86_64/lib32-*] ?
by Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi 25 Apr '09

25 Apr '09

Hi, In FTP there are lib32-* packages (also listed in community.abs.tar.gz community.db.tar.gz community.files.tar.gz) In website, under AUR if search these packages are listed as "unsupported", and other don't appears. Examples: lib32-curl is in FTP in binary form but not listed here http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?K=lib32-curl lib32-glibc is in FTP in binary form and is listed as "unsupported" with the corresponding PKGBUILD http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?K=lib32-glibc (with as normal user) There is no lib32- under community, but are on ftp? http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?K=lib32-&L=3 Confused! Thanks, -- Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi ( djgera ) http://www.djgera.com.ar KeyID: 0x1B8C330D Key fingerprint = 0CAA D5D4 CD85 4434 A219 76ED 39AB 221B 1B8C 330D

[aur-general] python-2.6.2 and files in /usr/lib/python2.5
by Allan McRae 25 Apr '09

25 Apr '09

Hi all, I have just put python-2.6.2-1 into [testing]. This remove the python-2.5 compatibility sitepath so anything not rebuilt since python-2.6 was release will be broken. The list of broken packages as of yesterday is in FS#13831 (http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/13831?getfile=3375) Note that these don't need built against the python in [testing] to be fix, just rebuilt against an python-2.6 package.

[aur-general] namcap modules: gnomemenu gnomemime
by Abhishek Dasgupta 22 Apr '09

22 Apr '09

The code in the these two files is quite old since they refer to the /opt/gnome path for GNOME files which was changed to /usr quite a while back. They should either be deleted or changed to reflect the current changes. Are the tags relevant for the current GNOME? -- Abhishek

I request the AUR package called 'libgsasl' be deleted in favor of package 'gsasl' because of bad naming, duplicate and inferior PKGBUILD. Sven

[aur-general] rkhunter package and kernel26fbcondecor
by Heiko Baums 21 Apr '09

21 Apr '09

Hi! First I wanted to ask, if there's a reason, why the package rkhunter was removed from AUR. Second I had to rename the package kernel26fbcondecor to kernel26-fbcondecor due to some nice changes in the PKGBUILD of kernel26, which makes compiling and maintaining other kernel packages a lot easier. See my comments for both packages. So I guess the package kernel26fbcondecor can be removed from AUR. It can be found here: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=14982 Regards, Heiko

[aur-general] Packaging perl modules - best practices for dependancies?
by Oliver Charles 20 Apr '09

20 Apr '09

Hi all, I used to use Arch a while ago, and packaged quite a few Perl modules [1]. After switching operating systems, I've come back to Arch - and I need to be a good maintainer of my packages :) I remember when I wrote these how frustrating it was manually writing just about every package for the dependancy tree. Personally, I'm of the stance that you should choose one package manager and stick with it - either all CPAN or fully Pacman/AUR. However, I've seen quite a few packages that do not do this. Instead, they rely on the fact that Build.PL and Makefile.PL are both capable of installing dependancies from CPAN. Like I said, I personally don't like this approach of mixing 2 package managers, it just seems like a recipe for confusing both package managers. Could anyone shed some light on what the *correct* procedure is - and also if there any tools out there that will scrape CPAN to build packages, before I write my own (in Perl, of course ;) Thank you! -- Oliver Charles / aCiD2 [1]: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?SeB=m&K=aCiD2 are my packages if you wish to check them
