[aur-general] Delete and merge requests
by Doug Newgard 24 Jan '14

24 Jan '14

**DELETE** Patch is upstream, commit 6a8aabd3c132188ee8e0e82ef4aba09f782cbe96 https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/qemu-omap/ Echievements is dead. It doesn't work with E18 (currently in [extra]) and doesn't even build with E19 (-git package in the AUR). There are no plans to update it, so it needs to be removed. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/echievements/ **MERGE** With the release of EFL 1.8, all libs have merged into a single package. The python bindings were also merged, so the following packages need merged as well: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python2-ecore/ && https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python2-edje/ && https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python2-e_dbus/ && https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python2-elementary/ && https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python2-emotion/ && https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python2-evas/ INTO https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python2-efl/ Note that python2-ethumb is not included in the request, it has not yet been merged upstream. With the release of Enlightenment 0.18, the package names in [extra] have changed. Previously, 'enlightenment' was E16 so E17 went into the repo as 'enlightenment17'. E16 is now 'enlightenment16' and E18 has taken over the 'enlightenment' name. Because of this, the -git package has been renamed. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/enlightenment17-git/ INTO https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/enlightenment-git/ xen uses git, but mirrors to mercurial. Since git is the main repo, the packages could be merged: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xen-hg-unstable/ INTO https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xen-git/ Thanks Doug Newgard (Scimmia)

[aur-general] Moving subtle to AUR
by Alexander Rødseth 23 Jan '14

23 Jan '14

Hi, The subtle package (a window manager) was blocking the ruby 2.1 TODO list. The build scripts specifically checks for ruby version 1.9. When disabling that check, it has problems linking/compiling and it also does not respect the CFLAGS variable. Tried to patch it with sed, with no luck. If someone wish to give it a stab, it's now in AUR. If it should successfully build and run with Ruby 2.1 in the future (2.1 is currently in [staging]), I would be happy to consider moving it back to [community]. -- Best regards, Alexander Rødseth xyproto / TU

[aur-general] Request merge of python-fftw3 into python2-fftw3
by Paul Viren 23 Jan '14

23 Jan '14

I renamed it because the python bindings are python2 only. Note that there are two sets of python bindings for fftw. This package uses the older one called PyFFTW3. There is another package called python2-fftw, but that uses a newer set of bindings called PyFFTW. There seem to be a fair number of arch users using the older bindings.

[aur-general] moving libpaper to extra / new (Calligra/LibO) Office related libs
by Andreas Radke 22 Jan '14

22 Jan '14

I'd like to make use of libpaper in Ghostscript, Cups and LibreOffice. So I will move it to extra and will maintain it there. Also I was told that Callibre can make use of certain libraries in future versions that are already part of the internal LibreOffice sources. I will do some investigation and will decide if we make them system libs so we can do shared linking to these libs. Please have a look at the PKGBUILD, what internal sources we will use in LibO 4.2 : https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/tree/trunk/PKGBUILD.42… -Andy

[aur-general] AUR split package submission error
by Michael Schubert 22 Jan '14

22 Jan '14

Hi, I'm trying to update my package blast+-bin, but I get an "the AUR does not support split packages" error. The package is not split (as in, it does not create two packages) but it uses a hack to use platform-dependent sources and md5sums. Is there any recommendation on how to handle such cases?- I didn't find anything on the wiki. PKGBUILD: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/bl/blast+-bin/PKGBUILD cheers Michael

I guess it's better to just leave a comment on AUR page (as you already did) and update the checksums. As it is indeed the upstream url and you cannot get in touch with him, I don't see any better choice :( > Please let me know if you can help, and sorry for the long email. Regards, Felix Yan
