[aur-general] Makepkg does not include one file
by Dan Vratil 22 Aug '08

22 Aug '08

Hi, that's me again... I have a problem with makepkg...when making tarball for the nvidia-utils-beta package, I just enter the folder and run 'makepkg --source', which packs all files from 'source' +PKGBUILD into the tarball.... In nvidia-utils-beta, there is 'supported-cards.txt' file. When I use 'makepkg --source', it says -> Adding supported-cards.txt... But when I unpack the created tarball, there is just a symlink, which probably links itself. When I make the tarball manually using tar and gzip, everything works...this is extremely strange - it was always working, I don't understand what has happend. Please, any ideas? Thanks, Dan -- --------------------------------- Dan Vrátil progdan(a)progdansoft.com ICQ 249163429 Jabber progdan(a)jabber.cz Tel. +420 732 326 870

[aur-general] e17 packages
by Ronald van Haren 21 Aug '08

21 Aug '08

Hi! This mail is intended for all e17 users, as well as people maintaining packages which depend on the e17 community packages. The people over at enlightenment thought it was a good idea to swith from CVS to SVN, rendering all PKGBUILDs more or less useless (the switch was completed at the 18th of August). What does this mean: - all community packages have been renamed to the new naming convention (all except e-modules-extra-svn have only changed from -cvs to -svn - in the progress of converting the PKGBUILDs two more packages have been included in [community], namely ewl-svn and elitaire-svn - if everything goes as planned the upgrade should be relatively painless except for the ones having additional AUR packages installed with an explicit dependency on a -cvs package instead of a dependency on the provides line which have always been there. In this case I suggest to remove these packages before the upgrade, and compile them with new depends after the upgrade. There is no need to force as you should need to rebuld those anyways ;) - for people maintaining packages from the official enlightenment mirrors, please change your packages to incorporate the switch to SVN. For the ones maintaining packages depending on any of the e17 community packages, be aware that the naming has changed. - the installation instructions are updated in the wiki (same as before only -svn instead of -cvs). Regards, Ronald

It seems the maintainer of foldingathome has been awol for over a year and the package needs lots of updates. Is there any chance this could get orphaned? Apologies if I'm using the wrong list, I haven't used this in a while...
