[aur-general] Community x86_64 issues wih some packages (att dwm, python-sqlalchemy, python-pigment maintainers)
by Angel Velásquez 02 Jan '09

02 Jan '09

Hi, first of all <ot>Happy new year everyone</ot> Since days ago I was upgrading packages which in x86_64 version are outdated respect the i686 version (python packages primarly) the list can be found here [0], then I found some packages which I can't upgrade it, these are: * dwm * python-sqlalchemy * python-pigment And maybe there are others (I just tested what I did) For be more clear I did the cvs commands, then I build the package, and I did communitypkg (see the message below) Uploading: python-sqlalchemy-0.4.8-1.pkg.tar.gz 838 kb --> (you will see that I tried to upload 0.4.8-1 version not 0.4.6) ===> Commited with "upgpkg: python-sqlalchemy 0.4.8-1" message cvs tag: Tagging . ===> Tagged as CURRENT-64 --> (everything should be ok right?) hours and days after I realized that the package isn't updated yet, why? I don't know, but I think that this can solve, bumping the pkgrel, then build and upload it again in both architectures (the easier solution) any ideas? particulary I don't like this one.

[aur-general] Problems with PKGBUILD (Also, request for package deletion)
by Smartboy 02 Jan '09

02 Jan '09

Hi, I created a new PKGBUILD called easy-e17, which basically is a wrapper for installing and using the easy-e17 script. Problem is, I forgot to change the maintainer stuff at the top of the script, and when I try to edit it, even changing the pkgrel value doesn't work. I can't get the PKGBUILD on the site to change (I used another package's PKGBUILD to make mine). Can anyone help? Also, I am requesting the make-e17 script be removed. It does basically the same thing as my script, but hasn't worked in a year and has been flagged out of date for a while. Thanks, Smartboy

[aur-general] lib32-glibc
by Jonathan Wiersma 02 Jan '09

02 Jan '09

I'm confused... I noticed my lib32-glibc was out of date, so I went to check where I should flag it as being out of date: I did a search on http://www.archlinux.org/packages/?q=lib32-glibc and http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?O=0&L=0&C=0&K=lib32-glibc&SeB=nd&SB=n… and did not find any lib32-glibc packages (although a ton of AUR packages depend on it). So I created a new on in AUR. Now I just checked pacman -Ss lib32-glibc and it comes-up with: community/lib32-glibc 2.8-3 (lib32) GNU C Library (32 Bit) I'm guessing this is a bug, but I'm not sure if I should be requesting the lib32-glibc package I created be deleted because it's already in community or if I should leave it.

[aur-general] namcap reports
by Abhishek Dasgupta 01 Jan '09

01 Jan '09

Hi all, I've created a web based report [1] from running namcap on the [community] tree. The design is inspired by lintian reports [2] (I am not much of a designer anyway :) ) There's a script which makes the namcap.log by traversing the community tree, then another python script cooks it up into HTML. Since namcap is quite verbose, I created some tags corresponding to the namcap warnings/errors (like: bad-backups => Backup entries should not have preceeding slashes). The packages have been listed by the namcap tag. Right now there's no view of what tags a particular package has, but I plan to add it sometime in the future. There's also an RSS feed for each tag.

[aur-general] the future of empathy, libtelepathy..
by stefan-husmann＠t-online.de 31 Dec '08

31 Dec '08

Hello, there has been a thread on aur-general in October 2008 about this issue, but the situation is not satisfying IMHO: We have a package of empathe in AUR _and_ in [testing].Both are or were orphaned, and the package in AUR was taken by a user and upgraded to version 2.25. I was chatting with him, and we reverted the change and uploaded a release 2.25 as empathy-devel. I think this should not happen again. What is the decision? Will empathe go to [extra] soon? If it is desired to keep the version in AUR, I suggest a developer should take it and keep it until it reaches [extra]. Or it should be removed. Thoughts? Regards Stefan

[aur-general] disowning a few packages
by M. Rawash 30 Dec '08

30 Dec '08

I'm going to disown a few packages that I'm no longer interested in maintaining. most of them are up-to-date and work properly, so you don't have to do any work right away, here's the list: - empathy - libtelepathy - telepathy-mission-control - desktop-data-model - hippo-canvas - online-desktop - bigboard - gadmin-httpd - gnac - perl-data-dumper - perl-weather-com - perl-html-calendarmonthsimple - mm ok, i lied about the "few" bit :P I'll reclaim some of these packages if none adopted them within a week, but expect their quality to drop significantly since i won't be testing any of them beyond successful builds..

[aur-general] Renaming a package?
by joyfulgirl＠archlinux.us 30 Dec '08

30 Dec '08

Hello! I just adopted the dillo2-cvs package; however, dillo development has recently changed to mercurial. I have a working PKGBUILD for this new -hg package, but was wondering whether there was any way to just change the name of the original package rather than create a new one. If so, if there's a TU who could rename it to dillo-hg I'd appreciate it. If not, would a TU mind deleting the dillo2-cvs package? Thanks a lot! Ivy -- If I Ever Become An Evil Villainess... 104.

[aur-general] Looking for a KDE maintainer
by Pierre Schmitz 28 Dec '08

28 Dec '08

Hi TUs, a long time ago I announced that I was looking for some help maintaining KDE: [1]. Finally I worte to aur-general to get some feedback form you, the Trusted Users. To reduce my workload and make the KDE packages even better I am looking for someone to support me. Just to make things clear: I don't need someone to just build or upload packages. All this including simple pkgver bumping and md5sums update is already automated: [4]. With a major update every 6 and a minor update every month this shouldn't be handeld by only one single person (that's me) anymore. So, what would be your tasks? * Prepare and test KDE 4.2 (see [2]) * add and maintain new (and old) dependencies * check and fix existent dependencies * fix bugs which are reported by users * prepare, test and finally implement splitted packages A simple Todo list with some notes about the unstable repo and schedule can be found at [3] I am looking for someone, who * is a TU and therefore has packaging experience * likes and uses KDE (of course) * is able to work on his own (means, don't ask me what to do next for every little step ;-)) * should have enough time to work mainly on KDE * likes to work in a small team * is reliable Don't take this list too serious. Even if you don't match all of this items, just write me if you are interested. If you have further questions you should answer this mail and send it to aur-general. Greetings, Pierre PS: And don't worry. Even if I don't find someone to help me with KDE, it wouldn't mean the end of the world. I'll still try to provide you the best KDE packages for Arch. :-) [1] http://archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-dev-public/2008-November/009126.html [2] http://archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-dev-public/2008-December/009538.html [3] http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DeveloperWiki:KDE [4] http://git.archlinux.de/build-scripts/tree/kde -- Pierre Schmitz Clemens-August-Straße 76 53115 Bonn Telefon 0228 9716608 Mobil 0160 95269831 Jabber pierre(a)jabber.archlinux.de WWW http://www.archlinux.de
