Re: [aur-general] [request]: LXR -- Linux Cross Reference

Hi, I must tell you that there is a "small" bug in the lxr, if you choose mysql as the DB. mysql taken "release" as it's keyword( I guess ), so in the file initdb-mysql, you will encounter syntax error. Because that file use 'release' as a table column. I've tried to rename it to something else, but the perl scripts of LXR complain for sql syntax error. If you familiar with perl+mysql, I guess that will not take you much time. Good luck! By the way: I suggest you to take a small scale source code package as the testing object. If you follow some docs from google, it will parse the Linux kernel code. It is a time-consuming works!

Hi, LXR seems a good tool to review software code. I tried to setup it, but failed. It needs apache mysql perl swish and so on. I'm not an expert of Mysql, and encounter something wrong while config it. There seems no aur package of it. Who can creat an AUR ? Thanks!

[aur-general] Duplicate packages in AUR
by Ghost1227 30 Oct '08

30 Oct '08

It was recently pointed out in #archlinux that there is a package in AUR which is duplicated and neither copy works, both trying to pull the source from mediafire. plasmoid-weather 0.4-1 <http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=19532> posted by Petr_Bambusek and weather-plasmoid 0.4-1 <http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=18819> posted by Diestelhenne Both maintainers have been notified of this issue, but perhaps something should be done about this duplicity?

[aur-general] abs and CURRENT
by Abhishek Dasgupta 29 Oct '08

29 Oct '08

Currently, abs downloads only stuff which is tagged CURRENT, this has a result of not giving the latest PKGBUILD in some cases; especially when a change has been made that does not change the corresponding binary, but only metadata like the URL and source links. Would it cause a problem if changes like these are tagged CURRENT? I could use SVN to retrieve the packages, but that would be a greater load on the servers. -- Abhishek Dasgupta

Re: [aur-general] lib32 packages in [community]

!!!! And I'd just given a pacman -Syu ! Good thing it didn't complete; pacman would've refused to install them anyway, right? I've a i686 chroot, and inadvertently copied the mirrorlist from the chroot to here...

[aur-general] lib32 packages in [community]
by Abhishek Dasgupta 28 Oct '08

28 Oct '08

Hi, I noticed a strange thing: lib32 PKGBUILDs are in the tree but pacman -Ss lib32 turns up nothing. This is on a 64bit system, so I would expect the lib32 packages to be there. I checked with a few other [community] packages and they turn up on a pacman -Ss. I've attached my mirrorlist. -- Abhishek Dasgupta <http://abhidg.mine.nu> GPG 67972DOF pgp.mit.edu

[aur-general] funny-manpages and asr-manpages
by Arkham 26 Oct '08

26 Oct '08

Hello, these two packages ( http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=3759 and http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=3760 ) need to be updated but the original author doesn't reply to my emails. Moreover, the PKGBUILDs have a really horrible indentation. Could someone please orphan them so that I can adopt?

[aur-general] autoscan package
by Cabbage 26 Oct '08

26 Oct '08

Package autoscan ( http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=7009 ) is out-of-date as of January 2008. The author has not updated and the PKGBUILD does not work due to the outdated source referenced in the PKGBUILD. Could someone orphan it so that it may be worked on by someone else?

[aur-general] info files
by Jiyunatori 24 Oct '08

24 Oct '08

Hi there. jxy is asking me on AUR if I can include the info file of the emacs-org-mode package. however, an old version of org-mode is now shipped with emacs, thus installing some info files within /usr/share/info. Is there a policy to address this problem ? Should I overwrite the info files from emacs (bad idea I guess) Should I rename the info file ? Should I just avoid installing the file, as I'm doing now ?
