This is a short description of a BugDay, maybe you misspelled it :) ( It isn't a day where we search a bug, but where we search a solutions for they :D ) http://www.archlinux.org/news/373/ What do Roman and who manage bugtracker think? PS: I use 'we search' because I was accepted as a ArchLinuxPPC dev.. I'm still running :D

[aur-general] squirrelmail duplicate
by Xavier 15 Oct '08

15 Oct '08

squirrelmail exists in both extra (1.5.2cvs-7) and community (1.4.16-2). Is this normal? If both versions are needed, maybe the first package should be renamed to squirrelmail-cvs or similar.

[aur-general] old tarball recovery?
by Mads Michelsen 15 Oct '08

15 Oct '08

Feeling incredibly daft about this... I adjusted the PKGBUILD for a module i maintain and uploaded it straight away after buildng succesfully. It thus overwrote the old tarball which contained the PKGBUILD plus a patch and an install script. In a stroke of brilliance I then proceeded to delete my local build files and try the new PKGBUILD via yaourt.... Needless to say it doesn't work. This is about as stupid as it gets. I'm having photorec trying to recover the local files but I'm not particularly hopeful. Any chance of recovery on the server? The package is fsaa1655g. - Chochem

Re: [aur-general] "Can't create directory" bug and inaccessible files
by rabyte 15 Oct '08

15 Oct '08

It's several: eduke32-clean, adonthell-wastesedge, alephone, chocolate-doom-svn, probably others... I just updated the darkplaces package, and guess what? It worked! Probably because I created the tgz file using my own "maketar" script (uses standard tar instead of bsdtar btw). So I guess the error really is related to a bug in makepkg. -- Follow The White Rabyte . . .

Your PKGBUILD shows me that you did read the packaging guidelines and recent advices. There have always be discussions about adding a package hat already has a counterpart in some official repo. Normally such packages should not go to AUR and will be deleted. On the other hand we have mplayer-nogui or such things. Maybe this package is another example from that rule. IMHO in packages with many different configure options to choose some of them and to leave ot others can be a contribution of its own. So I would say, go for it. But there my be other opinions.
