[aur-general] missing "arch" in core, community, extra
by Yura Siamashka 31 Oct '08

31 Oct '08

Hi The official PKGBUILDs in core, extra, community often don't contain "arch" variable. Of course they can't be build with simple makepkg (missing arch error). I have read Arch Packaging Standards and find no mention about a situation where omiting "arch" variable is legal. Am I missing something or these official PKGBUILDS just broken? Here is list of such packages: gscanbus xmahjongg ltrace fortune-mod-osfortune fortune-mod-subversion lincity transset nant libcroco audiofile aspell-fi libdmx xsmbrowser libsidplay gforth mplayer-skins fortune-mod-matrix festival-don user-mode-linux icmake festival-awb-arctic fortune-mod-jargon help2man scrot aspell-pt fortune-mod-friends barcode aspell-de trm gtksourceview-sharp-2.0 lha fortune-mod-starwars aspell-el fortune-mod-xfiles cd-discid fortune-mod-calvin xpp ccmalloc feh glsof libnet festival-kallpc16k wmix ed2k-gtk-gui fortune-mod-zx-error terminatorx id3v2 aspell-es scsh xbl fortune-mod-humorix beep fortune-mod-bond selectwm setserial gcal libid3tag djbdns mp3splt xbill gtkglarea festival-rablpc16k speedcrunch words abcde antiword gimageview libmusepack xvattr netkit-tftp gfpoken cgoban aspell-en gpart aiksaurus fortune-mod-scc fping camsource acct xpenguins_themes mpage speedtouch rep-gtk ascii fortune-mod-smac fortune-mod-chalkboard libmemcache fortune-mod-futurama aspell-nl ipvsadm xorg-xsm xorg-fonts-alias fortune-mod-oneliners unionfs-utils smtpprox cowsay fortune-mod-fgump fluxter fortune-mod-prog-style libmath++ glhack xbitmaps recode acpi cssed moon-lander fortune-mod-taow i8kmon gif2png netkit-bsd-finger penguin-command libots artwiz-fonts fortune-mod-shlomif-fav achessclock fortune-mod-kernelcookies ksymoops randline pdksh gift-fasttrack checkpassword fortune-mod-codehappy tsocks fortune-mod-bofh-excuses figlet dailystrips cvsps pinball xboard fortune-mod-buffy gimp-print-lprng libxmi gdome2 tpb fortune-mod-hayward libifp tango-icon-theme-extras wipe fortune-mod-tao latex2html stow xalf root-tail i8kutils lesstifextensions fssos-nsvs sonypid aspell-ru yodl tvtime nhc98 libxkbui fortune-mod-shlomif vnc transfig gozer giblib emovix-codecs ucspi-tcp windowmaker-extra aspell-fr time fortune-mod-homer ices fortune-mod-hitchhiker bmp-wma aspell-it dbh ucspi-unix tuxpuck rcs emelfm daemontools netkit-rsh fortune-mod-discworld libxxf86misc ifplugd flite dansguardian ms-sys fortune-mod-dune-quotes mp3wrap libogg fortune-mod-romeojuliet ddcxinfo-arch gmencoder fortune-mod-osho fortune-mod-joel-on-software The script used to detect these packages is attached to this mail. -- Yura Siamashka <yurand2(a)gmail.com>

[aur-general] Reffering to a Package Version in PKGBUILD
by Christian Scharkus 31 Oct '08

31 Oct '08

I've got a problem with xine-lib crying for ffmpeg>=20080715. I have ffmpeg-svn installed and this fullfilled the requirement. But even if I write something like presents=('ffmpeg' 'ffmpeg>=20081031') into my PKGBUILD the error occure again and again. A dynamic Date as mentioned in the comments of ffmpeg-svn (something like date +%Y%m%d would be nice). Thank you Raubkopierer

[aur-general] python2.6 rebuilds
by Allan McRae 31 Oct '08

31 Oct '08

Hi TUs, I intend to move python-2.6 and the associated rebuilds this Saturday. This requires a few, but not all, packages requiring python to be rebuilt. It would be good if everyone could check their python based packages and be ready for this. Cheers, Allan

[aur-general] xautomation package
by Christian Scharkus 31 Oct '08

31 Oct '08

Hello everybody. The current version of the package xautomation at the AUR is outdated the maintainer xcsd seems to be careless about it. The package was submitted about October 2006 and the reffered source is from April 2004. I would like to replace it with this one: # Contributor: raubkopierer <mail[dot]sensenmann[at]gmail[dot]com> pkgname=xautomation pkgver=1.02 pkgrel=1 pkgdesc="Controls X from the command line for scripts, and do \"visual scraping\" to find things on the screen." url="http://hoopajoo.net/projects/xautomation.html" arch=('i686' 'x86_64') license="GPL" depends=() source=(http://hoopajoo.net/static/projects/$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.gz) md5sums=('523198135f7cf7a5324189aef20ac48d') build() { cd $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver ./configure --prefix=/usr make || return 1 make DESTDIR=$startdir/pkg install } Greetings humans ;)

[aur-general] Disown Merkaartor package
by Michael Kanis 30 Oct '08

30 Oct '08

Hello, the merkaartor package in AUR is outdated. The maintainer pfreire doesn't respond to the Out-Of-Date flag, comment and e-mail. Many of his other packages are also out of date. Could you please disown the package? I would like to maintain it in the future. Michael

[aur-general] dropping gcin
by Andreas Radke 30 Oct '08

30 Oct '08

we're having gcin (Chinese input method) orphaned for a very long time and i guess no developer is interested in maintaining it or even able to set it up well. we have one or more outstanding bugs for a long time i cannot confirm or fix. i think we should leave the maintenance up to the community. they will do it far better. if no TU wants to take it i'd like to move it to unsupported. objections? -Andy

[aur-general] TU Inactivity angvp
by Angel Velásquez 30 Oct '08

30 Oct '08

Hi I'm sad/ashamed to say this, but since a heavy workload and some issues coming into my life,... I've to go inactive at least by a month (or I hope a couple of weeks), I am planning to finish all my pending work (in job), then return and re-organize my time. I hope you all can maintain my packages, grab them if you want, or just update them. Thanks. P.S: I will be online, just busy.. so anything you need, do me a ping, so i will answer (not as quickly as always of course) -- Angel Velásquez angvp @ irc.freenode.net Linux Counter: #359909 Arch Linux Trusted User
