[aur-general] Problem with community repo (x86_64)
by Eric Belanger 31 Jul '08

31 Jul '08

The community repo (x86_64) is no longer updating. From the logs: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/aur/aur/tupkg/update/tupkgupdate64", line 450, in <module> pkgname, ver = infoFromPackageFile(c_file) File "/home/aur/aur/tupkg/update/tupkgupdate64", line 218, in infoFromPackageFile raise Exception("Non-standard filename") Exception: Non-standard filename I don't know what might've caused that. There also now another error message: nice: /home/aur/run-tupkgupdate64: No such file or directory which is also in the logs for i686: nice: /home/aur/run-tupkgupdate: No such file or directory Eric -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

[aur-general] Problem with compizconfig-backend-kconfig and KDE3
by DaNiMoTh 30 Jul '08

30 Jul '08

Hello to all, I am trying to compile this backend for ccsm with kde3 enabled, because with kde4 it seems don't work. So, I add to depends kdelibs3, qt3, added --without-arts, added source /etc/profile.d/{kde3,qt3}.sh, but in configure I read: checking for Qt... libraries /opt/qt/lib, headers /opt/qt/include using -mt checking for moc... /opt/qt/bin/moc checking for uic... /opt/qt/bin/uic checking whether uic supports -L ... yes checking whether uic supports -nounload ... yes checking if Qt needs -ljpeg... no checking for rpath... yes checking for KDE... libraries /opt/kde/lib, headers /usr/include What?!?! headers in /usr/include? Oh, no... and I can't compile it successful, because I have error like In file included from /usr/include/QtCore/qbasicatomic.h:209, from /usr/include/QtCore/qatomic.h:48, from /usr/include/QtCore/qvariant.h:47, from /usr/include/QtCore/QVariant:1, from /usr/include/kconfig.h:32, from kconfig_backend.cpp:24: /usr/include/QtCore/qatomic_arch.h:84:4: error: #error "Qt has not been ported to this architecture" kconfig_backend.cpp:29:23: error: kinstance.h: No such file or directory kconfig_backend.cpp:31:18: error: kipc.h: No such file or directory kconfig_backend.cpp:33:24: error: dcopclient.h: No such file or directory Also, the error that qt has not been ported to $CARCH (that is i686 in my case) is ridiculous ^^. I think the problem is that it use headers from /usr/include (kde4) that aren't like headers in kde3. Am I wrong in something? Thanks

Re: [aur-general] [arch-dev-public] Please stop the install message insanity

It happens far too often that a message needs to be shown to the user only the first time a package gets upgraded because something important has changed. Without the need to modify anything we could use the parameters passed to post_upgrade: if the old version is affected by the change (can we use anything like vercmp in install files?) then the message will be shown, otherwise it won't. It's an extra effort on our side, but it helps a lot in cleaning up package installation output. Of course we'll also need to pay attention to when it's time to remove the message. I have other possible solutions in mind, but they all require changes to pacman or arch, and by far they aren't KISS. Any additional proposal or comment? Corrado

[aur-general] Requesting orphaned package
by Cabbage 30 Jul '08

30 Jul '08

The package plone is way out of date. http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=7448 Package in the AUR is 2.5.1, the official package is 3.1.3. I'm requesting that this package be orphaned so that someone else may assume responsibility.

[aur-general] TU Application
by Jeff Horelick 30 Jul '08

30 Jul '08

Hi! My name is JD Horelick and i'd like to become a TU. I'm 23 and working as a sysadmin for a decent-sized company (linux and windows stuff). I first started with ArchLinux in early 2007 (if i had to guess) and ever since then, i've loved it. I think pacman is quite possibly the greatest package manager i've used and i think the PKGBUILD package format is quite nice. I haven't done a crazy amount of development on Arch, but i've been using linux since 1999 and i was a Debian Developer for ~3 years (where i maintained 10-15 packages). As a TU I will offer my knowledge, skills and time to improve my favourite distribution and it's packages. Some of my specific goals as a TU are: * Work on expanding the community repo (for example, clutter is in community, but clutter-gtk, clutter-cairo and clutter-gtk are still in AUR :( ). * Make sure packages in AUR/community are working. For example, i tried to build dpkg (i think...It's late) from aur a bit ago and the URL changed, if i was a TU (and i will probably do this tomorrow anyway), i would email the guy and say like: "Hey, please fix the 404 on your package or i'm going to take it over". * My goal is to upload, fix or update a minimum of 1 package a day. In my free time I like...wait...I have free time? ahh...but seriously, in my free time...Well...I'm a atypical computer geek...I like watching me some movies/TV, playing video games...goin out and doing some parkour...having fun. Oh, and tacos...Tacos FTW! The final thing, Allan was so kind as to sponsor my application and here is the list of packages i have uploaded to the AUR: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?SeB=m&K=jdhore Let's start up the inquisition :P Any questions and suggestions will be answered as quickly as possible (I'm usually around from 1PM EST to 5AM EST daily). Thank you all very much. I very much hope to become part of the Arch team. Sincerely, JD In case my AUR link gets buried/is hard to see: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?SeB=m&K=jdhore

Hey JD and the gang; No I am not intending to be "heaping it on" here, but alas I cannot let this go without comment. If you expected the TU community to not go and check your credentials then, as you can clearly see, it did not work. And since you brought this matter up without any prompting from any of us, it is NOT your position to expect the scrutiny OR the discussion in this matter to end now, (simply because you wish it to). Best regards; Bob Finch P.S. What I read below is beneath comment. It saddens me that you wrote this. More especially since it was in reply to your sponsor. A short observation -> IMHO adding someone who appears so willing to be confrontational is *NOT* doing the "right thing FOR THE COMMUNITY". > > Here's my honest, no BS opinion: There are currently only 27 TU's and > 36 developers in this project.
