[aur-general] AUR 4.0 and existing git repositories
by Hugo Osvaldo Barrera 17 Jan '15

17 Jan '15

Hi, I've been reading about the upcoming AUR 4.0 with git repositories for each package (which is very much welcome for a variety of reasons!). I'm curious how existing packages will be handled. I already keep git repos for my packages, so it would be nice to be able to import those directly for two reasons: * To share the existing history with everyone else. * If packages are imported as-are into new repositories, then I can't push the existing repos. I'll need to create clone the AUR-generated ones, and work on those, loosing all my history. Has this sort of scenario been given any thought? Cheers and thanks for the hard work! -- Hugo Osvaldo Barrera A: Because we read from top to bottom, left to right. Q: Why should I start my reply below the quoted text?

[aur-general] warning: foobar: local (1.0.0-2) is newer than community (1.0.0-1)
by Ralf Mardorf 17 Jan '15

17 Jan '15

Regarding to my AUR cache [1], it seems to be common practise, that packages that moved from AUR to community get a lower "pkgrel="-value. IMO that is very annoying and doesn't make sense. I don't want to reinstall software that does work and I dislike to get tons of warnings. Why is this the common approach? Regards, Ralf PS: I'll send it to Arch and AUR general. [1] $ ls /var/cache/aur/foobar*

[aur-general] Trusted User application
by Jerome Leclanche 14 Jan '15

14 Jan '15

[reposted to the correct list, oops] Hi list My name is Jerome Leclanche and this is my application for becoming an Arch Linux TU. Both Balló György and Sven-Hendrik Haase have encouraged me to apply, and Sven-Hendrik has agreed to sponsor me for the occasion. I am a French Python developer living in Stockholm. I work on FOSS both for my full-time job and in my free time, with my focus being on the LXQt project of which I am one of the lead developers (http://lxqt.org/) All my contributions are available on Github: https://github.com/jleclanche My main goal is of course to bring LXQt to [community]. I emailed Antonio Rojas about that a while back as he was also interested in this. I'm on my third year with Arch Linux and absolutely love the distro; been hanging around IRC and the community as jleclanche. This is my package list: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/?SeB=m&K=jleclanche I have started the release process to get LXQt 0.9 out some time in January. I would really like to see it become available on Arch Linux at the same time =) Other than LXQt, I also maintain ruby-sass and its dependencies, which I would also like to move to [community] - although it is something I'd like to bring up with Anatol Pomozov first as he maintains a large array of Ruby packages himself already. I also saw that libfm and libfm-extra are currently orphaned there and since they are LXDE projects, I will happily pick them up. If any of you are going to FOSDEM, I will also be able to meet you there - I'd love to get to know the Arch community in person as well. Thanks for the great distribution and happy 2015 to everyone. I've kept this as terse as possible but I'll be happy to answer any questions. J. Leclanche

[aur-general] Arch Linux Trusted User application Christian Hesse
by Christian Hesse 14 Jan '15

14 Jan '15

Hello Arch Linux community, this year I received an extra Christmas present: Bartłomiej Piotrowski asked me to apply to become an Arch Linux trusted user. Just some days later Ike Devolder had the same in mind - as I already have a sponsor he promised to give his vote. Thanks! My name is Christian Hesse (aka eworm), I was born in 1982 and I live in Germany. I work for an educational institution, with FOM (Fachhochschule für Ökonomie und Management) being the most prominent part. My work includes networking and Linux stuff. Most Linux servers are Debian based, some machines even run Arch. In my free time I fly radio controlled helicopters, take photographs, read books, go geocaching, meet friends, ... My first contact with Linux was about 1998 when SuSE Linux 6.8 (or similar, not perfectly sure) was offered by my school in a special deal. I installed it but did not manage to get the X server running. Some time later I bought a SuSE Linux 7.0 package, installed it and abandoned the well known proprietary operating system. I am a free software enthusiast since these days. Some SuSE versions later I was annoyed by Yast overwriting my configuration files over and over again... I decided do install LFS (Linux from scratch) and learned a lot, changed to Gentoo to get a package manager and finally installed Arch Linux in... Hmm... January 2010? ... for a serious system. I felt in love with this great distribution and its package manager pacman. To date I am perfectly happy. My main system is still running my first Arch Linux installation (though this installation survived at least three notebooks...). I started maintaining packages in AUR [0] soon. Within four and a half year the number increased to over 200, still counting. I would like to move some of these to [community]: MySQL Workbench comes in mind with 274 votes, LibreCAD and various Yubikey related packages being other candidates. Hopefully PackageKit will be prepared for prime time again soon. My main focus is on system administration, but I do have an attitude to programming. A number of open source projects includes changes by me, some just being bug fixes, some introducing new features. I do not want to bore you, so I will not list them here. I even have started some projects on my own [1][2]. Dynamic QR code on website anybody? Or desktop notifications for journal entries, netlink or block device changes? Some projects are specific to Arch Linux. Want to share pacman cache on local network? Full disk encryption with mkinitcpio and Yubikey? On community events I got in contact with the Linux Professional Institute. Nowadays I am member of LPI German e.V. [3] and working as proctor taking certification exams. Additionally my co-author Michael Gisbers and I wrote a German book ("Linux Essentials. Vorbereitung auf die Prüfung des Linux Professional Institute") for Linux Essentials exam preparation, published at Open Source Press [4]. I am going to marry next month, so do not expect me to be too active until the end of January. Nevertheless I would be pleased to join the team now and enhance Arch Linux in the future. Thanks a lot to all of you for considering my application. Best Regards, Chris [0] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/?SeB=m&K=eworm [1] https://github.com/eworm-de [2] http://git.eworm.de/ [3] http://www.lpice.eu/lpi-partner/lpi-ev/die-mitglieder-des-lpi-e-v/christian… [4] http://www.opensourcepress.de/de/autoren/Christian-Hesse -- main(a){char*c=/* Schoene Gruesse */"B?IJj;MEH" "CX:;",b;for(a/* Chris get my mail address: */=0;b=c[a++];) putchar(b-1/(/* gcc -o sig sig.c && ./sig */b/42*2-3)*42);}
