Hey, Not sure if this is the right ML to send this to, but when trying to update my profile I get a message saying "The registration form is currently disabled due to a sustained spam attack. Sorry for the inconvenience -- we hope to be back up soon!" which seems a bit odd ;) -- Kindest Regards, | (\_/) Copy this bunny to your signature Johannes Löthberg | (0.o) to help him achieve world domination.

[aur-general] Problem with my PKGBUILD or yaourt?
by Simon Perry 26 Mar '13

26 Mar '13

Hi all, I've been maintaining sidplay-residfp and sidplay-residfp-libs for a little while now, and have hit this on a couple of versions of my packages. I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong with my depends variable, or if I'm hitting a bug in the yaourt AUR helper. As you can see in the output below: - Both packages are detected as upgrades (1.0.0 is installed) - It tries sidplay-residfp first - Detects that it needs the libs package, version 1.0.1 - Says it's gonna build from the AUR - Then tries to use pacman to install an AUR package Is it me, or is it yaourt? I've seen yaourt work with lots of other packages and correctly go through multiple levels of AUR deps to get something installed. Links to my PKGBUILDs: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/si/sidplay-residfp/PKGBUILD https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/si/sidplay-residfp-libs/PKGBUILD Any advice appreciated. Cheers. - Simon Perry (aka Pezz) --- Output --- % yaourt -Syu :: Synchronizing package databases... core is up to date extra is up to date community is up to date Foreign packages: | 24 / 24 ==> Software upgrade (new version) : aur/sidplay-residfp 1.0.0-2 -> 1.0.1-3 aur/sidplay-residfp-libs 1.0.0-1 -> 1.0.1-1 ==> Continue upgrade ?

His AUR page lists his email as tu(a)dragonlord.cz which results in delivery failure. Somewhere I found an address of dragonlord(a)seznam.cz however I have yet to receive any response.

[aur-general] Request for comment on gnuplot-nox PKGBUILD
by JoKoT3 25 Mar '13

25 Mar '13

Hi, I recently adopted the gnuplot-nox ( https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/?O=0&K=gnuplot-nox) package and I would like to have your advices before publishing a new version of the PKGBUILD (this is my first package in AUR). I have read the wiki pages about arch packaging standard and AUR (eh! that is even why I am posting to the list) I mostly adapted the pkgbuild of the former maintainer so you should not fire me on the spot (I hope). PKGBUILD : http://pastebin.com/RGh7jPYA patch : http://pastebin.com/MwAQTqm2 Two main questions : - should the package "Provides" gnuplot or "Conflict" with gnuplot (from [extra]) ? - is it the right way to patch sources ? Regards, -- Jonathan Gibert Consultant www.iconsultants.fr

[aur-general] oracle-instantclient-* and instantclient-* merged?
by Mateusz Loskot 25 Mar '13

25 Mar '13

Hi, There are two sets of very similar packages for Oracle InstantClient 1) dedicated for version 11.2.0.3.0 https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/oracle-instantclient-basic/ - relies on .zip w/ binaries downloaded by user and copied into location of the unpacked package - installs into /usr - canonical 2) dedicated for version 11.2.0.2.0 https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/instantclient-basic/ - uses manual_download to grab .zip w/ binaries from Oracle, but I doubt it works as Oracle requires to accept license on the website - installs into /opt - is this a good idea? Also, - oracle-instantclient name prefix seems clearer than instantclient There is also page Oracle client page on Wiki which is based on the oracle-instantclient-basic package https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Oracle_client I wonder if and how these two packages could be either 1) merged or 2) unified, so they can be explained in the same article. Ideally, if they could be merged, but then it would be necessary to detect in PKGBUILD if copied .zip binaries are for 11.2.0.2.0 or 11.2.0.3.0 and future 11 versions, and accept all current InstantClient versions. IMHO, it's enough to check if this is 11.2 or even 11. FYI, I haven't talked to the maintainers of those packages to avoid generating noise. First, I'd like to learn what are recommended options to handle such split packages of virtually the same software. Best regards, -- Mateusz Loskot, http://mateusz.loskot.net
