Package Maintainer Application - Quentin Michaud
by mh4ckt3mh4ckt1c4s 15 Aug '24

15 Aug '24

Hi everyone, My name is Quentin, or mh4ckt3mh4ckt1c4s/mh4ckwascut on the AUR and other Arch projects, and I'm applying to become a Package Maintainer. My application is sponsored by Robin Candau (Antiz) and Rémi Gacogne (rgacogne). I'm a graduated CS/networking engineer who is pursuing his studies as a PhD student in cybersecurity at the Institut Polytechnique de Paris, France (for the curious an abstract of the topic of my PhD is available here: https://theses.fr/s374883) I started programming in high school, and as I was more and more interested in "how computers work", I naturally started to tinker with Linux. After a little distro hopping, I wanted to dive more into the inner workings of a Linux distribution and Arch was the distro of choice. I fell in love with the rolling release, the always up-to-date packages, the wiki, and the AUR, among others. I now run Arch not only on my main laptop, but on my experimentation machines as well. I tried to go further, explored Gentoo and LFS, but I sticked with Arch as the distro allowing me to best tailor my computers to my needs while being fast and simple (who doesn't hate compilation times?). With the time I familiarized myself with the AUR, adopted a package I was using that was orphaned, and started submitting my own packages. I ended using a lot of little-used packages from the AUR, such as pentesting tools (for Capture The Flags) and fancy stuff related to my PhD. Most of these packages were orphaned or had bugs, and I started the habit of regularly looking for abandoned packages that I was using and picking them up on the AUR. A few times, I stumbled on outdated packages in the extra repo (ruby-iostruct and LLVM are the ones I remember), and I thought that if my beloved Arch was sometimes not up-to-date, maybe I could help and make Arch a little better. That's why I'm sending this mail today! Alongside packaging, I helped on other topics around Arch, such as becoming a package tester or improving a few articles in the wiki. Alongside Arch, I'm involved in OSS in general, contributing to various projects I use. All can be found on my GitHub and GitLab profiles, but big projects I have contributed to are LLVM, GitLab and YunoHost. When I'm not coding something or maintaining my homelab, I'm running or reading to clear my head. As a Package Maintainer, I would like to bring from my AUR packages to the extra repo podman-desktop, which I feel makes sense as podman and various related tools are already in extra, and a few WebAssembly packages such as wasi-tools. I also plan to merge my zaproxy-desktop package with zaproxy that is already in extra. As for the packages I can co-maintain, I would be happy to help with LLVM-related packages, or any other package that would need help and where I would be useful, like containerization or security tools. Relevant links: My AUR packages: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages?K=mh4ckwascut&SeB=m My GitHubs (perso and work): https://github.com/mh4ckt3mh4ckt1c4s and https://github.com/mh4ck-Thales GitLab: https://gitlab.com/mh4ckt3mh4ckt1c4s/ My personal website: https://www.mh4ckt3mh4ckt1c4s.xyz/ The YunoHost application I created and maintained for over a year: https://github.com/YunoHost-Apps/searxng_ynh My GitLab contributions: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests?scope=all&state=all&a… My LLVM contributions: https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues?q=involves%3Amh4ck-Thales Hoping that gives you a good introduction of myself and my motivations. Thanks for reading, cheers! Quentin

Maintainer: m3thodic packages need updating - no e-mail to contact (hidden)
by David C. Rankin 11 Aug '24

11 Aug '24

Aur folk, I was trying to install createrepo_c that has sent me down dependency-hell of out-of-date packages. The last that I couldn't fix was libmodulemd maintained by m3thodic. The package was flagged out of date on 4/27/24. I don't know if the maintainer is just gone for a while, or if the packages are abandoned. The createrepo package depends on this and other AUR packages and is dead-in-the-water for now. How to handle this? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Unable to push to or clone from existing aur package repo
by Chris Speck 13 Jul '24

13 Jul '24

Hello, My AUR username is "cspeck-aai" and I am the maintainer of the "slack-desktop-wayland" package: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/slack-desktop-wayland I have ssh set up and created and maintain this package. Today I attempted to push a change to bump the package version and found that I am unable to push: --- ✔ ~/src/slack-desktop-wayland [master ↑·1|✔] 16:22 $ git push aur(a)aur.archlinux.org: Permission denied (publickey). fatal: Could not read from remote repository. Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists. --- Also weirdly, I cannot clone it: --- $ git clone ssh://aur@aur.archlinux.org/slack-desktop-wayland.git Cloning into 'slack-desktop-wayland'... aur(a)aur.archlinux.org: Permission denied (publickey). fatal: Could not read from remote repository. Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists. --- I have not changed anything on my end. I double and triple checked my SSH keys. I also double checked that I'm not on any VPN or tunnel. Further, I can still use the ssh query interface, and I am still able to log in and it still shows me as the owner of this package: --- ✔ 16:23 $ ssh aur(a)aur.archlinux.org help Commands: adopt <name> Adopt a package base. disown <name> Disown a package base. flag <name> <comment> Flag a package base out-of-date. git-receive-pack Internal command used with Git. git-upload-pack Internal command used with Git. help Show this help message and exit. list-repos List all your repositories. restore <name> Restore a deleted package base. set-comaintainers <name> [...] Set package base co-maintainers. set-keywords <name> [...] Change package base keywords. unflag <name> Remove out-of-date flag from a package base. unvote <name> Remove vote from a package base. vote <name> Vote for a package base. ✔ ~/src/slack-desktop-wayland [master ↑·1|✔] 16:49 $ ssh aur(a)aur.archlinux.org list-repos slack-desktop-wayland --- I know that my ssh keys and setup are working because it used to function with the AUR and I continue to use it every hour of the day at work. Any idea what is going wrong? Can you please help me fix this? Also, I am away for a few days at the start of next week - could you please prevent any "orphaned package" requests while my access issues are fixed? Regards, Chris

Offensive comments
by Arne Brücher 12 Jul '24

12 Jul '24

I just received dozens of offensive comments including death threats on my AUR-package standardnotes-bin. I asked for support in the Arch Linux Telegram group and the user Muflone deleted the comments and suspended the account. The account's name was fruitwater6 and was created today. I also have an email address of the account and screenshots of the comment. I would appreciate if there was the ability to report comments and block users as well as an explicit way of reporting such issues.

Fixing extra/python-tensorflow, which is incompatible to python-numpy 2.0
by Claudia Pellegrino 07 Jul '24

07 Jul '24

Dear AUR folks, Last week, the python-numpy package was upgraded to v2.0. Since then, extra/python-tensorflow [1] has been raising a runtime error: ```sh $ sudo pacman -Syu python-tensorflow […] $ pacman -Q python-tensorflow python-numpy python-tensorflow 2.16.1-9 python-numpy 2.0.0-1 $ /usr/bin/python -c 'import tensorflow' […] File "/usr/lib/python3.12/site-packages/tensorflow/python/ops/numpy_ops/np_dtypes.py", line 30, in <module> complex_ = np.complex_ ^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/usr/lib/python3.12/site-packages/numpy/__init__.py", line 397, in __getattr__ raise AttributeError( AttributeError: `np.complex_` was removed in the NumPy 2.0 release. Use `np.complex128` instead.. Did you mean: 'complex64'? ``` For the full output, see: https://0x0.st/Xa9Q.log Given that upstream is still working on NumPy 2 support [2], the error message makes sense. Users can fix this incompatibility for themselves by either a) manually downgrading `python-numpy` to v1.x from their cache; or b) installing `python-numpy1` [3] from the AUR, which I uploaded today. Judging from the progress of the upstream issue [2], NumPy v2 support in tensorflow may not be exactly around the corner. Until then, users are going to have a hard time figuring out one of these workarounds on their own. I think all packages from core and extra are supposed to Just Work. So I wonder what might be a more user-friendly way to fix `extra/python-tensorflow` for everyone? Would it make sense to move `python-numpy1` from the AUR to `extra` to allow `python-tensorflow` to depend on `python-numpy1`?

AUR registration invalid e-mail
by Jens Hülser 26 Jun '24

26 Jun '24

Hi everyone, I am currently trying to register to the AUR website. The welcome email is already here, so I suppose I did not use the wrong address when setting up the account. Unfortunately, the password reset page gives me an 'Invalid e-mail' when I try to set my password. I use a password manager, so I there should be no typos involved. Nevertheless, I tried the manual route, entering the email adress and a very simple password (just very temporarily, of course!) very carefully one character at a time, double checking everything. I also tried using my user name, did not work either. Now that I am reasonably sure that I made at least no obvious mistakes, I am kindly asking for assistance here. The email address I used is jens.huelser(a)gmail.com. Anyone willing to help out a bloody noob? BR Jens
