[aur-general] Amend AUR commits
by S Shaikh 27 Apr '21

27 Apr '21

Hi, Due to a misconfiguration I used the wrong author on the most latest commits on both of the AUR packages I maintain. I understand that it's non trivial but can I ask for both commits to be removed? As they are both young packages I can also resubmit them from scratch if easier to delete them totally. Thanks, Shak (sshaikh on arch)

[aur-general] Deleted package
by Sébastien Luttringer 19 Apr '21

19 Apr '21

Hello, A package (ebtables) I recently moved from [extra] has been deleted by a user who didn't understand the difference with itpables-nft. The requests has been accepted automatically because he claims maintainership before deletion. I didn't find a way in the UI to restore the package. Am I missing something obvious or there there a documentation about restoring removed packages ? Regards, Sébastien "Seblu" Luttringer

[aur-general] Perl module install path
by Markus Schaaf 16 Apr '21

16 Apr '21

Hi, I have made a PKGBUILD for a Perl module according to the Wiki. The module's files get installed to /usr/lib/perl5/5.32/vendor_perl like most/all other such packages. But that module (and probably many others) do not depend on the exact version of Perl interpreter. I always find it annoying to download and update all perl module packages, because the interpreter's version has changed. So I would like these to install to /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl How do I do this correctly? BR

[aur-general] PSA: nodejs projects in AUR - npm install --user root
by Damjan Georgievski 14 Apr '21

14 Apr '21

There are a lot of packages in AUR that use something like: npm install -g --user root --cache "${srcdir}/npm-cache" --prefix "$pkgdir/usr" "$srcdir/$_npmname-$pkgver.tgz" to install and package a nodejs project. I guess at some point in time `--user root` worked for NPM but nowadays, npm behaves like this: 1) it silently ignores the `--user` option 2) installs the NPM package root (before installing the wanted .tgz) https://www.npmjs.com/package/root I guess `--user root` worked in some version of NPM but at some point npm decided to remove the option and not error on its use (what can I say). So, the recommendation is to remove all uses of `--user root` in PKGBUILD. ps. can someone run a grep -r -- "--user root" on the whole of AUR? -- damjan

[aur-general] AUR not aware of changes in the regular repos
by Daniel Peukert 11 Apr '21

11 Apr '21

Hi, recently, I've been alerted by a user of one of my packages to the fact that one direct dependency and several dependencies down the tree are no longer available in the regular repos. However, they are not marked in the usual way in the AUR UI (disabled link, bold, red) and when I tried to push the affected package to the AUR, I get denied, 'cause AUR still thinks it's available in the regular repos: remote: error: package already provided by [community]: python2-beautifulsoup4 remote: error: hook declined to update refs/heads/master I suspect the aurblup script stopped working/being called, but I'm not familiar with the codebase, so I'm not able to investigate/fix further. An example: python2-lxml is no longer available, but nothing changed on the AUR package page for mailpile. Thanks, Daniel Peukert

by Fabius 30 Mar '21

30 Mar '21

I'd like to ask, if possible, to delete the last commit (only last one) from the following two packages, which i maintain: 1) ruby-pg-query (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ruby-pg-query/) 2) ruby-sqlint (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ruby-sqlint/) I pushed those commits with my work git user info and I would like to push them again with my personal user info. Thanks in advance.

[aur-general] AUR sign up with no email
by Michal Janočko 29 Mar '21

Hi, on March 18th I tried to register for AUR to submit my own package (with this email). However, I did not receive any confirmation email. I waited for a week to see if anything comes and looked in all folders of my email. Is there anything I can do? (I can't re-register with the same email) Thanks, Michal
