[aur-general] font package category in AUR?
by johnea 08 Apr '13

08 Apr '13

I did a quick search to see if this has been discussed before, but found nothing. It seems it would help organization if there was a "font" category for AUR packages. Font are in all kinds of categories, and with inconsistent names. This makes it difficult to separate fonts from utilities and system files, and makes it hard to find all available fonts. Could a font category be added for AUR packages? Thank You...

Please delete these packages, the sources are fetched from an out-of-date repo (last update was a year ago), previous mainainer disowned them today after I sent him an email. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/chromium-browser-ppa/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/chromium-browser-inspector-ppa/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/chromium-browser-l10n-ppa/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra-ppa/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-nonfree-bin/

Hello, please remove https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/conkeror-refactor-completions-git/ It pulls from a branch, but AFAIK pacman 4.1 cannot handle that. Best Regards Stefan

[aur-general] Fwd: please add -depth 1 to makepkg git clone
by Tai-Lin Chu 07 Apr '13

07 Apr '13

A rage post with too many typos and not enough punctuation is hard to read. >This is dumb because using cp is not enough, you should be using git clone because it is git and straight from git, if you goal is to just use the newest you are doing it wrong go write you own pkgbuild. What is not enough? cp has option to reserve everything. >The only reason to use git packages is if you are deving upstream and want to actively test development of upstream packages... Or if up stream is dumb enough to never tag stable releases. Fortunately there are very few of the latter, so to support the majority of of users we clone the whole thing. Please read document for depth=1 and shallow clone. When we create a package, we only need the snapshot at that time; we rarely revert any commit. After we do shallow clone, we can still pull, and remake package. I really dont understand your reason for " to support the majority of of users we clone the whole thing" because shallow clone is sufficient. >I truly do not understand why this conversation exists. We discussed this months ago. The conclusion was that you really shouldn't be using these packages unless you are following upstream... yes, i agree with you. But as a person who commits patches and needs to test, I think using --depth 1 makes initial cloning faster and decreases the load of remote git server. Think about this 100 people clones vlc.git with shadow (around 600mb) vs without shadow (around 10000mb)... its not just about whether you care it or not; please preserve resources of other projects.

[aur-general] VCS PKGBUILD and Pacman 4.1: increase epoch?
by Cédric Girard 06 Apr '13

06 Apr '13

Hello, I was wondering, as I am updating my PKGBUILDs to use the new VCS features of pacman, if this specific case need an epoch increase for those packages. Packages version were generated from the date (eg 20130401) and thus will probably be bigger than new versions from the tags (eg 0.3.1.32.gfb4117d). Thus an epoch increase should be needed to have a correct behavior. But it seems most packagers are not increasing the epoch as they are switching to this new versionning scheme. Is there a recommendation on this? -- Cédric Girard
