[aur-general] Keeping community64 up to date
by Allan McRae 28 Mar '08

28 Mar '08

Hi, I have come to realize that the current way of keeping community64 in sync could use some improving. I realized this when looking at the pkg_diff web page [1] thinking I would build some packages. After being distracted by the internet for a few minutes... I reloaded the page and noticed that some of the packages had been uploaded. Now had I actually built those packages, it would have been a waste of time. Also, I'm never sure how much time to wait and see whether the TU who uploaded the i686 package is going to upload the x86_64 package. How can this be improved? The best I can come up with is making a wiki page with a list of x86_64 build requests. TU's who upload a i686 package and are not going to build the x86_64 package themselves would need to add the package to the page. Think of it as punishment for not building it yourself. :) When someone else goes to build the package they either remove it from the list or tag that it is being built. That probably isn't the best idea, but I feel that the current system is a bit flawed. Any other suggestions/comments? Allan [1] http://dev.archlinux.org/~andyrtr/pkg_diff.html

[aur-general] List of packages with no license information in core, extra and community
by Ronald van Haren 26 Mar '08

26 Mar '08

Hi all, I just came across some package in extra and noticed it had no license information at all in the PKGBUILD (though the package is not even gpl). So I got the idea of checking if more packages had this problem and came up with a list of the core, extra and community repositories (it should be easy to run the script for unstable and testing too if required). Please all take a look at the list and fix the packages. It really are too much packages without license information! Respective bug reports can be found for core & extra: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/9971 community: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/9970 I also attached the lists to this mail. Regards, Ronald

More likely your problems are coming from the update daemon still refusing to put through the update because of errors. -S Pkgbuild '/home/aur/cvs/lib/perl-xml-libxml-common/PKGBUILD' is a duplicate!

[aur-general] perl 5.10 is there
by Firmicus 25 Mar '08

25 Mar '08

*Perl 5.10 is now in core.* I have started my perl commit/upload orgy... Sergej, please upload perl-libxml, perl-libxml-common, perl-net-dbus and perl-xml-rss as priority, because until it is done, all pkgs that depend on them (I have some) will be non-functional! Since I have built them for both architectures anyway, I could take care of them, if you want. Best, F

[aur-general] Problems uploading i686 packages to community?
by Allan McRae 23 Mar '08

23 Mar '08

I am having trouble getting a package into i686 community. I have used communitypkg to upload teeworlds twice and it does not appear in AUR. The x86_64 version uploaded without a problem. Looking at the pkg_diff page (http://dev.archlinux.org/~andyrtr/pkg_diff.html) the last four packages are uploaded to x86_64 only, although from web cvs the latest versions all appear tagged for CURRENT. It could be a coincidence though... Am I missing something? Thanks, Allan
