[aur-general] [AUR4] Single binary package for different architectures
by Rudy Matela 08 Jul '15

08 Jul '15

Hello, I am importing a PKGBUILD for something that has only a binary release. More specifically, a binary release for i686 and another for x86_64. In the old AUR, I was packaging it using an if clause to choose which release to download depending on the architecture -- this way, I can have a single package for both architectures. More or less like this: if [ ${CARCH} = 'x86_64' ]; then source=("http://example.com/release-${pkgver}-x86_64.tar.gz") md5sums=('00112233445566778899aabbccddeeff') else source=("http://example.com/release-${pkgver}-i386.tar.gz") md5sums=('ffeeddccbbaa99887766554433221100') fi Running mksrcinfo fails with the error: /path/PKGBUILD: line XX: [: =: unary operator expected "line XX" points to the line containing the if. Are there some guildelines for packaging something like this? How could I make mksrcinfo work? Is there any way to generate the .SRCINFO file manually to conform to the dual-binary release described above? (or... should I not be doing this at all?) -- Rudy

[aur-general] PKGBUILD that downloads ilegal content
by Hugo Osvaldo Barrera 07 Jul '15

07 Jul '15

There's a PKGBUILD[1] on the AUR that downloads a binary that is illegal to distribute (due to licensing, it may only be distributed in source form). IMHO, it's a bit of a grey area if the PKGBUILD is legal or not (I believe it is not in some jurisdictions), but anyone running it is receiving illegal content, so I don't think we should keep it around. I put up a deletion request[2] for this, and the response was "The AUR does not distribute binaries.". While this is true, it does distribute the PKGBUILD for downloading the ilegal binary. This is not a case of "the package can be used to do something possibly illegal", this is a case of "this script was tailored exclusively and with the sole objective of distributing something illegal, and can only be used for that".

[aur-general] password cracker program in AUR
by LoneVVolf 06 Jul '15

06 Jul '15

Hi, While browsing AUR4 orphaned pacakges, i noticed cudahashcat with description "Worlds fastest password cracker with dictionary mutation engine" . There are atleast 2 more packages from the same upstream, http://hashcat.net/oclhashcat/ . I realise it and can be useful for people that forgot their own password, there are many illegal/immoral uses for it. Should we allow such programs in AUR ? LVV

[aur-general] AUR 4 package search doesn't work
by Ralf Mardorf 05 Jul '15

05 Jul '15

Hi, when using the AUR 4 search machine for "Name, Description" or "Name" and "Out of Date All", the keyword "lightscribe" does find "4l", but it doesn't find "lightscribe" and "lightscribe-labeler". https://aur4.archlinux.org/packages/?O=0&K=lightscribe https://aur4.archlinux.org/packages/?O=0&SeB=nd&K=lightscribe&outdated=&SB=… Regards, Ralf Off-topic PS: Assumed for AUR 3 PKGBUILDs were available for 32-bit and 64-bit architecture, there were requests to make those split PKGBUILDs one for both architectures, does it make sense to provide the PKGBUILDs for AUR 4 with dropped 64-bit architecture and to provide 32-bit architecture only? We could argue that it's better somebody maintains 32-bit PKGBUILDs only, instead of completely dropping software, OTOH Arch claims to support 32-bit and 64-bit architecture and it looks like a step backwards to provide 32-bit architecture and to drop the newer 64-bit architecture. https://aur4.archlinux.org/packages/lightscribe/ https://aur4.archlinux.org/packages/lightscribe-labeler/ https://aur4.archlinux.org/packages/4l/

[aur-general] pkgver update not reflected

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 On one of my packages [0], I've updated the PKGBUILD with pkgver 1.4.20. Previous release was 1.4.18. However, AUR(4) still seems to think the package version is 1.4.18, and even seems to apply it to when I use the ${pkgver} variable inline (e.g. for the sources). What gives?
