[aur-general] Are split packages ok for aur.
by Gary van der Merwe 09 Jul '13

09 Jul '13

Hi Is it OK to submit split packages to aur, using the workaround used by linux-zen (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/li/linux-zen/PKGBUILD)? This is the PKGBUILD I would like to submit: http://fpaste.org/23879/ Are there any implications that I need to take into account? How do aur helpers handle split packages? (I started reading this bug report to try find the answers: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/16394 , but there is much noise and little signal, hence I'm asking here.) Thanks, Gary

Hi, I, as submitter and maintainer, hereby request the removal of: quodlibet-pygobject-hg https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/quodlibet-pygobject-hg/ quodlibet-pygobject-plugins-hg https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/quodlibet-pygobject-plugins-hg/ The reason for both removals is that they are based on branches which are now merged into the main packages, which already are in [extra]. Thank you very much for your support.

[aur-general] Remove AUR packages
by Svetkin Mikhail 09 Jul '13

09 Jul '13

Hi, Since I'm a new PKGBUILD creator and learning. I create pkbuild for pymodbus-git (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pymodbus-git/) but i don't know about ( https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Python_Package_Guidelines#Package_nami…) and then i create second package with other name (python2-modbus-git https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python2-modbus-git/) and now i can't delete pymodbus-git. I'm sorry to bother you but could you remove the pymodbus-git( https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pymodbus-git/) ?

I just don't think it's feasible to maintain all packages that were created once upon a time, since *anyone* can create a package on AUR?
