A few additional notes: - Your patch is small. You can use `sed` instead. sed -i 's|env python|env python2|' feather sed -i 's|binpath: /usr/local/bin/|binpath: /usr/bin/|' feather.yaml.dist - Here is a fixed and cleaned version of your `config.install` file: # You should probably run this on install, not on upgrade. # If you want to run this on both install and upgrade, you can do this: # post_install() { # post_upgrade # } post_install() { # Install file output should be dense. echo 'Feather is designed to be run from cron like this:' # The quotation marks are necessary here. Without them, the shell will expand the asterisks. echo ' */5 * * * * /usr/bin/feather /etc/feather.yaml' # 'shall' gives the impression that the file will be updated automatically. echo 'Configuration file /etc/feather.yaml must be updated before running.' } - It is common to name install files after the packages they belong to. You should consider naming your install file `feather.install` or `feather-git.install`.

[aur-general] Inactive until 18. September
by Thorsten Töpper 27 Aug '13

27 Aug '13

Hello, I will be inactive until the 18th September 2013. I voted in any of the currently open votes, so count me into the quorum. The reason for my inactivity is, that I need to focus on my thesis until I hand it in. I won't be completely gone, I just won't invest much time into reading and writing mails or spent much time online at all. Please take care of my packages and be aware that john is based on the community enhanced version and not the official free version that lacks lots of features. (1.7.9 with jumbo patches is ahead of a plain 1.8.0 but includes its features.) Cheers, Thorsten

Re: [aur-general] Request name change/orphaing of drawterm
by Marshall Conover 26 Aug '13

26 Aug '13

Hello aur-general, I messaged the list about two weeks about the drawterm[1] package, saying that I had flagged the package out of date, uploaded a working package build to the page as a comment, and attempted to contact the owner of the package two weeks prior; I then asked that the package be orphaned/updated with my working package build. I was asked by speps to send an email to the package maintainer at his gmail address, as the domain for his other email address seems out of sorts; that address was actually the one I had originally sent it to, but I figured I"d give it more time and check IRC and speps suggested. I have still been unable to contact the prior maintainer. I have uploaded a new package, drawterm-hg[2], which (as far as I can tell) meets the criteria for a package on the AUR, and fixes the issues with the old drawterm package (which also used mercurial, but didn't have it in the name). As the new package seems to hit all the points needed, I believe the old drawterm should be deleted. Let me know if anything else is required! Thanks, Marshall Conover [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/drawterm/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/drawterm-hg/ <https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/drawterm/>-- Have a good day, Marshall Conover

[aur-general] Unused account on BBS and AUR web interface
by William Gathoye 25 Aug '13

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi guys, I would like to contribute to the AUR, but it appears the account 'wget' has already been registrered, but no one seems to currently use it. It looks like someone has asked for a password reset but hasn't clicked on the confirmation link from the email yet. Would it be possible for you to unlock this account and release this username for me? I'm experiencing the same issue with the BBS forum. I got 'Invalid username' as a response from the registration form. It would be nice if I could keep the same e-dentity for the ArchLinux community, as I'm using the same nickname for the communities where I'm getting involved in.

You could also keep both, and just specify the fragment in the one without -git in the name. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/VCS_PKGBUILD_Guidelines#VCS_sources Gtmanfred

So, since you are using the source straight from the git repository, we should be merging into the -git version? Also, there is no need to use echo in your pkgver, just run the command in the sub shell Gtmanfred -------- Original message -------- From: SpinFlo <sl1pkn07(a)gmail.com> Date: 08/25/2013 1:36 PM (GMT-06:00) To: "Discussion about the Arch User Repository (AUR)" <aur-general(a)archlinux.org> Subject: [aur-general] request merge vapoursynth-git into vapoursynth hi please merge https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/vapoursynth-git<https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/vapoursynth/> into https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/vapoursynth/ vapursynth package use SVN (tag branch), this method not longer available. i change to GIT because this project don't use "zip" sources greetings
