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 https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/intel-opencl-sdk/ I intend to get to intel-opencl-runtime, helpfully flagged as out-of-date last week, today or tomorrow.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" }

[aur-general] Proposal: Mark packages that require significant computational power to build
by Nick Shvelidze 28 Apr '20

28 Apr '20

Hello everyone, as you know, some packages on AUR take many minutes to build on all but very powerful machines. I think it would be helpful to have an optional bit of metadata that will mark these packages, or possibly even a general thing that will describe approximately how intensive the package is to build. Writing this as freecad-git melts my laptop.
