Re: [aur-general] Being an asshole to package maintainers is a bannable offense, and that's okay

Hello everyone, this is my first time posting too, I hope nothing went wrong. To demonstrate that it is the presentation of the comment in question but not the content that some experience as inappropriate, I tried to re-write it for myself in a less 'emotive' way. It is usually really hard to properly express emotive content in a written text without creating ambiguity about the intention of the original poster, which I feel underlies most controversies about 'unwelcomingness' on the Internet: > Hi people, there have been a large number of complaints about the testing this package does, such as validpgpkeys checks. This package is doing the correct thing, and several previous pinned comments [have attempted to] explain why these complaints are not valid. Please refer to those before posting any additional comments. The text in []s would make the message a bit more polite, as not including it might make what other might consider a subjective claim. I put it in brackets as I it might change the content of the message a bit. The final sentence prevents users from bringing up the stale arguments that the original message tried to prevent, but does not assume anything about the intentions of the reader, which is more polite IMO. If the poster wants to be a bit more explicit, it could be replaced with the following. > Please refrain from posting any additional comments [that are already addressed by this discussion]. I feel that this is probably rude to say without the parts in brackets (as it forbids a reader who might bring up a valid point from participating), but that part might change the content a bit, hence the brackets. So far the message politely asks the reader not to do something, which might make any willing violation of this request against the implicit expectation of civilised behaviour one can/should assume in a public 'medium' such as the AUR. If somebody does this anyway I am pretty sure everyone can agree that banning could be logical next step. However, to not change the content: to make the threat of a ban explicit one could add the following line: > Please note that Moderators/TUs might [need to] resort to banning users to minimise additional noise in the comment section. However, I really think such a consequence should already be clear from the previous text. Including it might therefore make the message more hostile than it needs to be in order to achieve the desired goal (no more spammy complaints), and also slightly implies that the writer is just pretending to sound polite. (Is it called a 'comment section'?) I'd like to mention that I am not too sure about the mentioned technicalities. I also tried my best not to 'censor' the message in any kind, just change the presentation. Switching to a more formal (less-emotive) register is my go-to approach when a discussion might get heated, and I wanted to add my two cents. I hope they are of some use in any future considerations! Kind regards, Niels E. J. Meijer

[aur-general] Sha256sum unexpected behaviour
by Leonidas Spyropoulos 10 Jan '20

10 Jan '20

Hello, I got a weird issue with sha256sum behaviour. When creating the package with makepkg --geninteg I get a hash and when trying to build it with makepkg the hash fails. The interesting bit is --ptintsrcinfo comes up with a different hash. Anyone got some idea why this might happen? See below some debugging info ~/linux-gc$ makepkg --geninteg ==> Retrieving sources... -> Found linux-v5.4.10-arch1.tar.gz -> Found config -> Found 0001_bmq_v5.4-r1.patch -> Found 0002_enable_additional_cpu_optimizations-20190822.tar.gz ==> Generating checksums for source files... sha256sums=('bd51016d038277d2edd4e6d6def53b0ba24e0b238662d404a07a7d706ad2b5d3' 'aa77f7e3b611787f734c7e7d7503d3debf9af86ac999e8bccf533c5a854ec15b' '0b770209a72171dfd46401d67d13204a767eb1749ef522df7ea7292b83046537' '8c11086809864b5cef7d079f930bd40da8d0869c091965fa62e95de9a0fe13b5') ~/linux-gc$ makepkg --printsrcinfo pkgbase = linux-gc pkgdesc = Linux pkgver = 5.4.10 pkgrel = 1 url = https://cchalpha.blogspot.co.uk/ arch = x86_64 license = GPL2 makedepends = bc makedepends = kmod makedepends = libelf makedepends = xmlto makedepends = python-sphinx makedepends = python-sphinx_rtd_theme makedepends = graphviz makedepends = imagemagick makedepends = git options = !strip source = linux-v5.4.10-arch1.tar.gz::https://git.archlinux.org/linux.git/snapshot/li… source = config source = 0001_bmq_v5.4-r1.patch::https://gitlab.com/alfredchen/bmq/raw/master/5.4/bm… source = 0002_enable_additional_cpu_optimizations-20190822.tar.gz::https://github.co… validpgpkeys = ABAF11C65A2970B130ABE3C479BE3E4300411886 validpgpkeys = 647F28654894E3BD457199BE38DBBDC86092693E validpgpkeys = 8218F88849AAC522E94CF470A5E9288C4FA415FA sha256sums = 1fda6369ec7038c9ca1fe7aa6206977c5b8983c77e9d74e4ba458a4d042d1d31 sha256sums = aa77f7e3b611787f734c7e7d7503d3debf9af86ac999e8bccf533c5a854ec15b sha256sums = 0b770209a72171dfd46401d67d13204a767eb1749ef522df7ea7292b83046537 sha256sums = 8c11086809864b5cef7d079f930bd40da8d0869c091965fa62e95de9a0fe13b5 pkgname = linux-gc pkgdesc = The Linux kernel and modules with the BMQ CPU scheduler depends = coreutils depends = kmod depends = initramfs optdepends = crda: to set the correct wireless channels of your country optdepends = linux-firmware: firmware images needed for some devices provides = linux-gc=5.4.10 pkgname = linux-gc-headers pkgdesc = Headers and scripts for building modules for the Linux kernel depends = linux-gc provides = linux-gc-headers=5.4.10 provides = linux-headers=5.4.10 Thanks, -- Leonidas Spyropoulos A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.

[aur-general] SweetHome3D related PKGBUILDs
by Alexis BRENON 08 Jan '20

08 Jan '20

Hi all, By default, SweetHome3D comes with only a few 3D models to add to your scene. Some are advertised on its site but it requires that you download them manually and then add them to SweetHome3D. I think it could be nice to have some assets package in AUR which download and add assets automatically. 8 different libraries are provided, some which are specific (for trees or for persons), and they aren't so lightweight so I choose to make 1 package for each library. Hence I wrote some scripts which generate PKGBUILDs and .install script for each package: https://github.com/AlexisBRENON/3dmodels-pkgbuild Here is the PKGBUILD for one of them to show you an example: --- # Maintainer: Alexis BRENON <brenon.alexis+arch at gmail dot com> pkgname=sweethome3d-3dmodels-contributions pkgver=1.7.1 pkgrel=1 pkgdesc="Free 3D models advertised on SweetHome3D website" arch=('any') url="http://www.sweethome3d.com/freeModels.jsp" license=("custom:FreeArtLicence") optdepends=("sweethome3d: Models rendering" "sweethome3d-3dmodels-blendswap-cc0: More 3D models" "sweethome3d-3dmodels-blendswap-ccby: More 3D models" "sweethome3d-3dmodels-katorlegaz: More 3D models" "sweethome3d-3dmodels-lucapresidente: More 3D models" "sweethome3d-3dmodels-reallusion: More 3D models" "sweethome3d-3dmodels-scopia: More 3D models" "sweethome3d-3dmodels-trees: More 3D models") install="$pkgname.install" source=(" http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/sweethome3d/3DModels-Contributions-1.7.1… ") sha1sums=("5db3609b754747b018fc5362cc5421271656ceca") package() { mkdir -p $pkgdir/usr/share/eteks/sweethome3d/furniture/contributions I=0 for lib in "${srcdir}"/*.sh3f; do install -Dm644 "$lib" "$pkgdir/usr/share/eteks/sweethome3d/furniture/contributions/contributions-$(printf "%02d" "$I").sh3f" I=$(( I + 1 )) done install -Dm644 "${srcdir}"/LICENSE* "$pkgdir/usr/share/licenses/$pkgname/LICENSE" } --- Do you think that this kind of packages would be useful and fit in the rules of submissions? Kind, Alexis.

[aur-general] Change package name?
by Brian Allred 08 Jan '20

08 Jan '20

Hi all, yochananmarqos made a good point on my gpmdp <https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gpmdp/> package. It's a -bin package, but I didn't originally submit it as such. Is there a way to change its name without losing the comment history and changelog? I can resubmit as gpmdp-bin if necessary, just wanted to check first. Thanks, Brian

[aur-general] Dropping official gitlab packages
by Sven-Hendrik Haase 27 Dec '19

27 Dec '19

Hi guys, I maintain the official gitlab packages gitlab, gitlab-gitaly, gitlab-runner, gitlab-shell, gitlab-workhorse and python-gitlab. Out of these, I'll be dropping gitlab, gitlab-gitaly, gitlab-shell and gitlab-workhorse because they are way too much work to maintain and I can't keep up and the result isn't great. Currently known bugs: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/62837 https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/63679 https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/63688 https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/63935 https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/63950 https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/64337 https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/64887 Unless any other masochistic TU really wants to feel the pain, I'll be dropping them in about two weeks.

[aur-general] surf-git doesn't build (for me, anyway)
by Greg Minshall 17 Dec '19

17 Dec '19

hi. surf-git https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/surf-git/ gets an error when building with makepkg (see below). the problem is correctable by cp -p src/surf/config.def.h src/surf/config.h i.e., copying the suckless-supplied "default" config.h (named config.def.h) to the config.h used in the build, then doing a makepkg -e (there are also config.h files in . and in ./src identical to the one supplied in ./src/surf; i didn't need to change those and am not sure what they are for.) cheers, Greg ps: here's the error (the older function scroll() in surf was split into two, i guess): ---- c99 `pkg-config --cflags x11` `pkg-config --cflags gtk+-3.0 gcr-3 webkit2gtk-4.0` -DVERSION=\"2.0\" -DWEBEXTDIR=\"/usr/lib/surf\" -D_DEFAULT_SOURCE -DGCR_API_SUBJECT_TO_CHANGE -fPIC -march=x86-64 -mtune=generic -O2 -pipe -fno-plt -c surf.c In file included from surf.c:302: config.h:149:43: error: ‘scroll’ undeclared here (not in a function); did you mean ‘scrollh’? 149 | { MODKEY, GDK_KEY_j, scroll, { .i = 'd' } }, | ^~~~~~ | scrollh
