[aur-general] electron9 - Misusage of comments
by Ralf Mardorf 23 Mar '21

23 Mar '21

Hi, could an AUR moderator please add a pinned comment to https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/electron9 . The comments get spammed by AUR helper users and Manjaro users with unreasonable comments. Dear Manjaro users aquatic7, if you are puzzled about something, consider to read the comments first and if this shouldn't clarify it for you, consider to use a support channel of the distro you are using. See https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/electron9/#comment-796026 , you are building blowatware, nothings is broken, so there's nothing to fix. Building bloatware can take very long. I'm subscribed (FWIW I'm just another user, not the maintainer) to receive comments to get informed about real issues and it's quite annoying to receive only comments from people using unsupported tools and/or alien disros again and again. Also consider to read the pinned comment, see https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/electron9/#pinned-795189 . Btw. consider to verify, if this package is needed at all by your install, see: Begin forwarded message: Date: Mon, 22 Mar 2021 23:26:44 +0100 From: Ralf Mardorf To: Kunda, erfanmola, jonathon Subject: [AUR] electron9 Hi, [snip] To list packages that depend on electron9 Arch Linux provides at least two common commands, one provided by the package community/pacman-contrib and the other provided by core/pacman which belongs to base-devel. I can't comment on Manjaro. $ pactree -r electron9 electron9 └─balena-etcher $ pacman -Qi electron9 | grep -eRequired.By -eOptional.For -eInstall.Reason Required By : balena-etcher Optional For : None Install Reason : Installed as a dependency for another package The maintainer wasn't harsh, the maintainer kindly asked to stop misusing comments. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Commenting_on_pac… Regards, Ralf

[aur-general] AUR package end-of-life
by Alexis BRENON ＠Arch 20 Mar '21

20 Mar '21

Hi, During the first COVID lockdown, I published an AUR package for a libinput pull-request: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/libinput-accel-profile-git/ Since then, the PR has been merged and released as part of libinput 1.16.0. Moreover, the PKGBUILD seems to be invalid too (yay fails to install the package). Should I still maintain this package or ask for a deletion? If I have to maintain it, is there a way to mark it as deprecated, redirecting users to the libinput community package? Kind, Alexis

[aur-general] My -git package not updating
by Barnabás Béres 18 Mar '21

18 Mar '21

Dear Arch users, I have a big collection of wallpapers on gitlab. My friends suggested that I submit it to the AUR. I have created a PKGBUILD according to PKGBUILD-VCS.proto but my package doesn't update when I add a new wallpaper to it on my gitlab. Here is my pkgbuild: pkgname=nature-wallpapers-git pkgver=1.0 pkgrel=1 pkgdesc="Collection of nature wallpapers" arch=(any) url=" https://gitlab.com/winux1/nature-wallpapers.git/" license=('unknown') makedepends=('git') source=("git+$url") noextract=() md5sums=('SKIP') pkgver() { cd "$srcdir/${pkgname%-git}" printf "r%s.%s" "$(git rev-list --count HEAD) " "$(git rev-parse --short HEAD)" } package() { cd "$srcdir/${pkgname%-git}" install -d "${pkgdir}/usr/share/backgrounds/nature-wallpapers" install -m644 *.jpg "${pkgdir}/usr/share/backgrounds/nature-wallpapers/" } What is wrong with it? Thanks for your help in advance

[aur-general] Version downgraded and not being updated anymore
by Zekke Barton 03 Mar '21

03 Mar '21

I noticed that this aur package: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/masterpdfeditor-libs-included/ Seems to have it's version rolled back and is now stuck on a version that still works with some keygen that's used to activate the program. That doesn't seem like it should be happening. (the latest version is 5.7.20 like the original package: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/masterpdfeditor/ ) Cheers

Dear Arch users, I would like to know how I can submit a package (namely hugo) to the AUR that is already in the community repo. I would like to do this because I need the latest version of hugo for my work and the package in the community repo is out-of-date. Thanks for your help in advance! Best regards Barnabas Beres

Hello, I have used a wrong email address for pushing my package updates to aur. Is it possible to rewrite this commits? I'm not allowed to force push a rewritten history, so I think some admin intervention is needed. best regards Uwe

Hello, A package I maintain has changed his name (pyidm became firedm) and I am wondering how I should change the package name. Only changing the pkgname is enough or should I create a new one and merge the first one into it? -- Franck STAUFFER ~^~ // "\\ /\\ \\ // //\\\ --------------------------- @ // ///=\\SCII Ribbon Campaign X /=---=\\gainst HTML E- Mail, vCards X /// \\nd MS attachments // \\ ------------------------------------ \ // \\ \// \\ \\
