Why was GNU Freedink removed from the AUR? I remember it being there.

[aur-general] AUR package q -- newbie
by Raj Kombiyil 14 May '20

14 May '20

Dear all, Greetings! Just finished my maiden install of arch-linux on my laptop, with my share of headache. But things are running alright now, I guess. It's kind of difficult to find packages in one place -- e.g.; I could install gedit easily (via pacman), but couldn't find the LaTeX plugin. Searching, I see it is in AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gedit-latex I see that in the comments section, there's some issue. The package is updated in 2017 last. I know all these will be voluntary work and maybe people don't need this plugin much. For me, I could compile LaTeX source on the fly, using gedit with this plugin. What should I do to install this package? I was hoping just to install and move on with my work. I am into science computing and don't have the knowledge base to make this work/make packages etc. I read good things about Arch, so I picked it. Apologies, I am thankful for the great work all the developers/volunteers do, but at this moment I just would like something that works. Thank you for your time and any help would be greatly appreciated. Raj

[aur-general] AUR requests not handled anymore?
by Christoph Gysin 06 May '20

06 May '20

I have made two deletion requests on my packages 2 weeks ago, that were never handled: https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/aur-requests/2020-April/039815.html https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/aur-requests/2020-April/039825.html Has the process changed? What can I do to get these handled? Thanks, Chris -- echo mailto: NOSPAM !#$.'<*>'|sed 's. ..'|tr "<*> !#:2" org@fr33z3

[aur-general] intel-opencl-sdk updated to 2020, probably poorly
by Nick Black 05 May '20

05 May '20

Late last night, I put together an update to intel-opencl-sdk, updating it from the 2017 edition to 2020. This was by far the most difficult PKGBUILD I've ever done, and I suspect it is less than optimal in one or more ways. If anyone feels competent to take a look at the packaging or (more importantly IMHO) the installed result, please do so. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/intel-opencl-sdk/ I intend to get to intel-opencl-runtime, helpfully flagged as out-of-date last week, today or tomorrow. Hack on! -- nick black -=- https://www.nick-black.com to make an apple pie from scratch, you need first invent a universe.

[aur-general] PKGBUILD submission: osrs-launcher
by Nick Shvelidze 03 May '20

03 May '20

Hi, I couldn't find the official Old School RuneScape launcher in the AUR, so I decided to package it, using the official mac client as source. I have written a simple sh script to launch the included jar file (with options extracted from Info.plist file). I'm also extracting the icons from mac icns The pkgver I also got from the Info.plist file, I don't know if it's possible to extract programmatically. I couldn't find the official license for this anywhere, except a generic terms and conditions page of Jagex, which is in HTML format, I don't know if I should scrape it as text and include in package. # Maintainer: Nikoloz Shvelidze <captain(a)pirrate.me> pkgname=osrs-launcher pkgver=1.2 pkgrel=1 epoch= pkgdesc="Official OldSchool RuneScape launcher" arch=(any) url="https://oldschool.runescape.com/" license=('unknown') groups=() depends=(java-runtime bash) makedepends=(p7zip libicns) checkdepends=() optdepends=() provides=() conflicts=() replaces=() backup=() options=() install= changelog= source=("https://www.runescape.com/l=1/downloads/OldSchool.dmg" "osrs-launcher" "osrs-launcher.desktop") noextract=() md5sums=(af345cb11c7e392c15e4d2681d9de17f SKIP SKIP) validpgpkeys=() prepare() { cd "$srcdir" 7z e "OldSchool.dmg" -o"$pkgname-$pkgver" -aoa "Old School RuneScape/Old School RuneScape.app/Contents/Java/jagexappletviewer.jar" 7z e "OldSchool.dmg" -o"$pkgname-$pkgver" -aoa "Old School RuneScape/Old School RuneScape.app/Contents/Resources/OSRS.icns" cd "$pkgname-$pkgver" icns2png -x "OSRS.icns" } package() { mkdir -p "$pkgdir/usr/share/osrs-launcher" mkdir -p "$pkgdir/usr/share/pixmaps" mkdir -p "$pkgdir/usr/share/applications" mkdir -p "$pkgdir/usr/bin" install -Dm644 "$pkgname-$pkgver/OSRS_512x512x32.png" "$pkgdir/usr/share/pixmaps/osrs-launcher.png" install -Dm644 "$pkgname-$pkgver/jagexappletviewer.jar" "$pkgdir/usr/share/osrs-launcher/jagexappletviewer.jar" install -Dm755 "osrs-launcher" "$pkgdir/usr/bin/osrs-launcher" install -Dm644 "osrs-launcher.desktop" "$pkgdir/usr/share/applications/osrs-launcher.desktop" }
