Data::Dumper is also part of perl 5.10 and it's there as a separate CPAN package as well. ion-modules should not be removed but should be moved to unsupported as ion3 is no longer in [extra]. gshare's website is down for quite a long time. I think it should be moved to unsupported. Also moved some packages into the keep/remove list. -- Abhishek Dasgupta <http://abhidg.mine.nu> GPG 67972DOF pgp.mit.edu

[aur-general] abs tree checker
by Xavier 26 May '08

26 May '08

Hello, stonecrest wrote a very useful script in my opinion a while ago : http://www.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch/2007-November/016238.html However, it hasn't been updated since the svn move and the new abs. It had a feature to fetch the abs tree itself, using csup directly. But anyway it is not required, abs can be used manually instead, so I just removed that part. The second problem is the directory structure, which is now different for core/extra/etc, where the package dir are on the first level, compared to community which still has the old layout with an additional level of category. This breaks the following function : def repo_from_path(path): return path.split("/")[-4] It should be -4 for community and -3 for the rest. Instead I just used 3, but it will only work on /var/abs/ tree (or any other structure with just 2 directory levels). Anyway, this was just two quick hacks to get the script working again and see what were its results now. And it is still far from perfect :) I think this script is something that packagers (of the official repos) should check regularly to ensure the quality of arch pkgbuilds and packages. So here is the result I get currently : $ ./check_archlinux.py --abs-tree=/var/abs ======================== = i686 Integrity Check = ======================== Performing integrity checks... ==> parsing pkgbuilds ==> checking dependencies ==> checking makedepends ==> checking archs ==> checking for circular dependencies ==> checking repo packages Missing PKGBUILDs ------------------- /community/devel/codeblocks/PKGBUILD /community/devel/php-apc/PKGBUILD /community/kde/kima/PKGBUILD /community/system/pommed/PKGBUILD /community/x11/gpomme/PKGBUILD /community/x11/e/PKGBUILD /community/lib/python-ctypes/PKGBUILD /community/lib/python-elementtree/PKGBUILD /community/multimedia/miro/PKGBUILD /community/gnome/cheese/PKGBUILD Mismatched Pkgnames --------------------- 'dbhub' vs. /community/daemons/dbhub/PKGBUILD 'dina-font' vs. /community/x11/dina-font/PKGBUILD 'offlineimap' vs. /community/network/offlineimap/PKGBUILD Missing Dependencies ---------------------- fldigi-docs --> 'acroread' gnome-media --> 'gstreamer0.10-gconf' listen --> 'gstreamer0.10-gconf' listen --> 'gstreamer0.10-alsa' listen --> 'gstreamer0.10-mad' listen --> 'gstreamer0.10-vorbis' perl-mail-dkim --> 'perl-digest-sha' perl-app-cli --> 'perl-locale-maketext-simple' striim --> 'gstreamer0.10-mad' striim --> 'gstreamer0.10-gnomevfs' medit --> 'gcc-objc' soundconverter --> 'gstreamer0.10-gnomevfs' soundconverter --> 'gstreamer0.10-vorbis' soundconverter --> 'gstreamer0.10-lame' soundconverter --> 'gstreamer0.10-flac' soundconverter --> 'gstreamer0.10-mad' flumotion --> 'gstreamer0.10-libpng' flumotion --> 'gstreamer0.10-vorbis' flumotion --> 'gstreamer0.10-theora' flumotion --> 'gstreamer0.10-ogg' fdlog --> 'acroread' jokosher --> 'gstreamer0.10-gnomevfs' gnustep-gui --> 'gcc-objc' kungfu --> 'gstreamer0.10-dvdread' kungfu --> 'gstreamer0.10-mpeg2dec' kungfu --> 'gstreamer0.10-libpng' kungfu --> 'gstreamer0.10-theora' perl-critic --> 'perl-readonly' thoggen --> 'gstreamer0.10-theora' thoggen --> 'gstreamer0.10-dvdread' thoggen --> 'gstreamer0.10-a52dec' thoggen --> 'gstreamer0.10-mpeg2dec' thoggen --> 'gstreamer0.10-vorbis' thoggen --> 'gstreamer0.10-ogg' perl-graphics-colornames --> 'perl-module-load' exaile --> 'gstreamer0.10-gnomevfs' exaile --> 'gstreamer0.10-gconf' bmpx --> 'gstreamer0.10-alsa' bmpx --> 'gstreamer0.10-cdparanoia' archboot --> 'rt2x00-cvs' archboot --> 'iwlwifi' ion-modules --> 'ion' ion-modules --> 'ion-scripts' gnustep-back --> 'gcc-objc' quodlibet --> 'gstreamer0.10-mad' quodlibet --> 'gstreamer0.10-vorbis' gnustep-base --> 'gcc-objc' muine --> 'gstreamer0.10-faad' Missing Makedepends --------------------- perl-app-cli --> 'perl-locale-maketext-simple' perl-time-duration --> 'perl-test-pod-coverage' pandoc --> 'haskell-mtl' pygoocanvas --> 'pygobject-doc' perl-graphics-colornames --> 'perl-module-load' totem-plugin --> 'gstreamer0.10-gconf' gensplash --> 'klibc-beyond' Unmet Dependency Provisions ----------------------------- fldigi-docs --> 'fldigi=2.10' d4x --> 'openssl<=0.9.8' bincimap --> 'openssl<=0.9.8' arora-git --> 'qt>=4.4.0' drscheme --> 'openssl<=0.9.8' eclipse-ve --> 'eclipse<3.3' socat --> 'openssl<=0.9.8' qc-usb --> 'kernel26<2.6.25' libfwbuilder --> 'openssl<=0.9.8' acerhk --> 'kernel26<2.6.25' martian --> 'kernel26<=2.6.25-0' Unmet Makedepends Provisions ------------------------------ wpa_supplicant --> 'kernel26<2.6.25' v86d --> 'kernel26<2.6.25' Repo Hierarchy for Makedepends -------------------------------- extra/xosd depends on community/xmms extra/flac depends on community/xmms core/iputils depends on extra/jade core/madwifi-utils depends on extra/sharutils core/e2fsprogs depends on extra/bc core/madwifi depends on extra/sharutils Invalid Archs --------------- libofa --> x64_86 kexec-tools --> 686 zsnes --> ppc mod_perl --> x64_86 minicom --> !x86_64 Circular Dependencies ----------------------- coreutils>pam>db>coreutils eclipse-ecj>gcc-gcj>eclipse-ecj archboot>archboot Missing Repo Packages ----------------------- postgis-1.2.1-1 in community/os/i686 lmms-0.3.2-1 in community/os/i686 sakura-2.1.0-2 in community/os/i686 'dina-font'-2.89-2 in community/os/i686 qc-usb-0.6.6-6 in community/os/i686 musicmanager-0.9.8-1 in community/os/i686 open-vm-tools-modules-2008.04.14-1 in community/os/i686 proj-4.5.0-2 in community/os/i686 'offlineimap'-5.99.14-1 in community/os/i686 'dbhub'-'0.450'-3 in community/os/i686 open-vm-tools-2008.04.14-1 in community/os/i686 gnash-common-0.8.2-1 in extra/os/i686 evolution-data-server-2.22.1.1-1 in extra/os/i686 enscript-1.6.4-3 in extra/os/i686 Summary --------- Dirs with missing PKGBUILDs: 10 Duplicate PKGBUILDs: 0 Missing (make)dependencies: 55 Unmet provisioned (make)dependencies: 13 Circular dependencies: 3 Invalid archs: 5 Missing packages in repos: 14 Mismatching PKGBUILD names: 3 Repo hierarchy problems: 6

[aur-general] TU resignation
by Shinlun Hsieh 26 May '08

26 May '08

Hello friends, I've been thinking about this for a while, and finally decide to step down. These days I don't have much time to maintain the packages publicly released on AUR due to my personal issue and as a result, I should resign from this position because I don't serve the AUR users who are using my packages as before. It's a great experience to work with you all, keep working guys! Thanks for bringing this great distro to the community. Though resigning from my packaging job, I'll stay involved with Arch as a user. Good luck to you. Best regards, Shinlun

Hello to all, I have a problem with CVS: I can't do anything. Every actions result in a timeout. I tried many repos, but nothing: I'm blocked. I think it is a connection issue, because for two or tree days it worked. I don't know how proceed now, feel free to adjust / update my packages, I will remain available ( other internet functionality are OK ). -- JJDaNiMoTh - ArchLinux Trusted User

[aur-general] [website] accessing maintainer information
by cyril Romain 24 May '08

24 May '08

Hi, Although the information of a package maintainer can be retrieved from a package page, that information cannot be retrieved from the searching package page. For instance, the maintainer info is accessible from here (by clicking his/her name): http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=7111 whereas clicking on his/her name from here doesn't work: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?K=uwolfer&SeB=m Clicking on the name in the searching package page actually filters the search result with that maintainer. But I'm wondering if it would not be more consistent to display the maintainer information instead. Regards, Cyril

[aur-general] force flag usage
by Xavier 24 May '08

24 May '08

I believe this thread concerns the community repo as well, so please have a look: http://archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-dev-public/2008-May/006243.html However there is something to figure out about how the community repo is built : packages need to be built with makepkg >= 3.1.2, and added to the database with repo-add >= 3.1.2 In the meantime, the following two steps can still be done: * reevaluate if the flag is still needed. I would guess if it hasn't needed a 'force' since before the last ISO, then we should be fine. * convert the old force=y syntax to new options=('force') syntax Note that the community database itself doesn't contain a single FORCE flag, which means all the force flag below are not used at all. If nobody even noticed / complained, they probably can be removed. community/devel/pygtk-docs/PKGBUILD:options=('docs' 'force') community/devel/fox-legacy/PKGBUILD:options=('!libtool' 'force') community/daemons/gnump3d/PKGBUILD:force=y community/daemons/nas/PKGBUILD:force=y community/x11/compiz-core/PKGBUILD:options=(!libtool !emptydir force) community/x11/compiz-decorator-gtk/PKGBUILD:options=(!libtool force) community/games/etracer/PKGBUILD:options=('force') community/lib/libjingle/PKGBUILD:force=y community/lib/colorer/PKGBUILD:options=(force) community/multimedia/alsa-plugins/PKGBUILD:force=y community/multimedia/xmms2/PKGBUILD:force=y community/modules/nokia_dku2/PKGBUILD:force=y community/science/qgis/PKGBUILD:options=('force') community/office/fbreader/PKGBUILD:force=y community/network/pyaim/PKGBUILD:force=y community/network/dokuwiki/PKGBUILD:force=y community/network/pyicq/PKGBUILD:force=y community/network/checkgmail/PKGBUILD:options=(force) community/network/gnunet-gtk/PKGBUILD:force=y community/network/gnunet/PKGBUILD:options=('!libtool' '!makeflags' 'force')

[aur-general] AUR RPC search results custom fields
by Francesc Ortiz 24 May '08

24 May '08

Hi, I just subscribed to the AUR mailing list. I developed tupac, a script that does fast aur searches. I got really glad when i found that there is an RPC for AUR, but all my happiness vanished when i saw that the search results show no information, and that i have to add another query for each result if i want to show aditional information to the search results. From my house, this adds a 550 ms query to each result. I gave a try to arson to proove it. Adding the possibility of specifying the fields you want to show in the search results would reduce rpc query time and would also reduce server load. Getting custom fields would be 1 connection vs N+1 (N=number results, 1 the search) connections that you have to do now for a pacman-like search. And in what time regards, as an example, for 30 results now I need (30+1)*550ms = around 17 seconds. I also see that this would be more intense work for the database, so it would be reasonable to add a result limit to the search, if you use custom fields, in order to reduce subqueries. And, about usability, imagine that http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php took 13 seconds to load. What do you think, did I sound convincing enough? :P

[aur-general] problems with x86_64 build machine?
by Ronald van Haren 23 May '08

23 May '08

Are there more people having problems building packages on the build machine? I'm getting an "error: failed to init transaction (unable to lock database)" error, or is this related only to my account? So for the time being I'm not able to update the x86_64 versions of my packages :( If somebody has a bit time left feel free to update them, otherwise I'll do it when it is working again (the packages currently in need are: sakura, ristretto, wxmaxima, and youtube-dl). Ronald ps. I'm active again
