[aur-general] Trying to push to AUR, having trouble with GitHub actions
by Yash Karandikar 14 Mar '20

14 Mar '20

Hey all So I was trying to push a new version of my package to the AUR. This repository has two remotes. One is for GitHub, and one is for the AUR. Yesterday, I set up GitHub actions to test my package, but did not push to AUR. The GitHub actions folder has some subdirectories which contain my actions config. However, I cannot push to AUR because of these subdirectories. Any ideas? Thanks, Yash

[aur-general] Spring cleaning (moving orphaned packages from [community] to AUR)
by Alexander F Rødseth 05 Mar '20

05 Mar '20

Hello, It's time for the semi-yearly package cleanup of [community] packages, as is tradition. I have gathered a list of "unneeded orphans" in [community] (packages that currently has no maintainer, and no other package depends on them) from the excellent list on our web page. TUs and Devs, please adopt, if you're interested: adapta-kde - Adapta theme for KDE Plasma 5 agg - High Quality Rendering Engine for C++ aide - A file integrity checker and intrusion detection program. arch - A modern and remarkable revision control system. arc-kde - Arc theme for KDE Plasma 5 aspell-it - Italian dictionary for aspell aspell-ru - Russian dictionary for aspell autofs - A kernel-based automounter for Linux bar - A script for showing progress bars. bomberclone - Clone of the game Atomic Bomberman cellwriter - A grid-entry natural handwriting input panel. curseofwar - Fast-paced RTS/Action game with ncurses interface dcfldd - DCFL (DoD Computer Forensics Lab) dd replacement with hashing deadbeef - A GTK+ audio player for GNU/Linux. dumb-a4 - IT, XM, S3M and MOD player library (for Allegro 4) easystroke - Use mouse gestures to initiate commands and hotkeys. eclipse-cpp - Highly extensible IDE for C++ eclipse-java - Highly extensible IDE for Java eclipse-javascript - Highly extensible IDE for JavaScript eclipse-jee - Highly extensible IDE for JEE eclipse-php - Highly extensible IDE for PHP eclipse-rust - Highly extensible IDE for Rust esmtp - An easy SMTP forwarder. flac123 - Command-line program for playing FLAC audio files gimp-dbp - David's batch processor for the GIMP gimp-plugin-fblur - Makes out of focus with luminosity and depth gimp-plugin-lqr - Plugin for The GIMP providing Liquid Rescale gimp-plugin-wavelet-denoise - Tool to reduce noise in each channel of an image separately gimp-refocus - A sharpen plugin for gimp using FIR Wiener filtering glide - Dependency management and vendoring for Go projects glitz - OpenGL image compositing library gnunet-gtk - A frontend for GNUnet gtk-theme-switch2 - Gtk2 theme switcher gvmd - greenbone-vulnerability-manager gvm-tools - greenbone-vulnerability-manager tools icecast - Streaming audio over the Internet ifuse - A fuse filesystem to access the contents of an iPhone or iPod Touch iverilog - Icarus Verilog compiler and simulation tool javasqlite - Java wrapper including a basic JDBC driver for the SQLite 2/3 database engine matrix-appservice-irc - Node.js IRC bridge for Matrix minbif - An IRC gateway to IM networks that uses libpurple. mod_wsgi - Python WSGI adapter module for Apache monica - Monitor calibration tool mythes-pl - Polish thesaurus ntop - A network traffic probe that shows the network usage. ode - High performance library for simulating rigid body dynamics openvas - Vulnerability scanning Daemon pdfmod - Simple application for modifying PDF written in C Sharp pidgin-otr - Off-the-Record Messaging plugin for Pidgin. pinta - Drawing/editing program modeled after Paint.NET. It's goal is to provide a simplified alternative to GIMP for casual users privoxy - A web proxy with advanced filtering capabilities. processing - Programming environment for creating images, animations and interactions projectm-pulseaudio - Music visualizer which uses 3D accelerated iterative image based rendering (pulseaudio) projectm-sdl - Music visualizer which uses 3D accelerated iterative image based rendering (sdl) python2-pyxmpp - Python XMPP and Jabber implementation based on libxml2 python-pyinsane - Python library to access and use image scanners qtspim - New user interface for spim, a MIPS simulator. rdiff-backup - A utility for local/remote mirroring and incremental backups. remacs - Emacs with parts of it written in Rust steghide - Embeds a message in a file by replacing some of the least significant bits surf - A simple web browser based on WebKit/GTK+. tabbed - Simple generic tabbed fronted to xembed aware applications. transset-df - A patched version of X.Org's transset with added functionality. tuxpaint-config - Tux Paint configuration tool uncrustify - A source code beautifier vim-jellybeans - Colorful, dark color scheme, inspired by ir_black and twilight vim-ultisnips - TextMate-style snippets for Vim. wren - Small, fast, class-based concurrent scripting language xautomation - Controls X from the command line and does "visual scraping". xbindkeys - Launch shell commands with your keyboard or your mouse under X zapcc - C++ compiler based on Clang, but significantly faster zeal - An offline API documentation browser I'll wait two weeks before adding them to AUR, running both `db-remove` and `svn rm` on the unmaintained packages. PS. If unmaintained orphans in [core] could be moved to [extra], and unmaintained orphans in [extra] could be moved to [community], that could be a nice "trickle down" effect and would be an appreciated cleanup as well, but that is just my opinion. To quote our newly elected leader, in connection with the previous spring cleaning: > Cleanup is always good > > - Levente Polyak -- Best regards, Alexander F. Rødseth / xyproto

[aur-general] What is pkgrel and why/how should I use it?
by karx 04 Mar '20

04 Mar '20

Hello all, sorry if this is not in the appropriate mailing list. I am developing an AUR package, and it says that pkgrel is a required field. Right now, I simply leave it at 1, but I want to know how I should really use it and what its purpose is. Thanks, Yash

[aur-general] Question about AUR submission guidelines rule #1
by Lone_Wolf 27 Feb '20

27 Feb '20

Hi, Scimmia pointed me to [1] in answer of a request by me on forum. I re-read the page and realised the exception to the first rule leaves some things open. text quoted from wiki for reference : * The submitted PKGBUILDs must not build applications *already in any* of the *official* binary *repositories* under any circumstances. Check the official package database <https://www.archlinux.org/packages/> for the package. If any version of it exists, *do not* submit the package. If the official package is out-of-date, flag it as such. If the official package is broken or is lacking a feature, then please file a bug report <https://bugs.archlinux.org/>. *Exception* to this strict rule may only be packages having *extra features* enabled and/or *patches* in comparison to the official ones. In such an occasion the |pkgname| should be different to express that difference. For example, a package for GNU screen containing the sidebar patch could be named |screen-sidebar|. Additionally the |provides=('screen')| array should be used in order to avoid conflicts with the official package. The package types listed below are in AUR and appear to be allowed but are not mentioned in the exception . - packages that *remove *features. example : mesa-noglvnd[2] disables glvnd support but is otherwise the same as extra/mesa of the same upstream version . Maybe change the wording to clarify this ? - VCS packages building trunk master or specific branches example : gcc-git [3] The PKGBUILD is very similar to repo version, but it does build trunk master. Are they considered to have 'patches' or should they be mentioned specifically ? - VCS packages building a specific commit or revision (Sorry, can't find an example atm.) Usually these are considered 'stable' versions. Are they seen as packages having patches or should they have their own rule ? Suppose we have 2 packages of this type : A builds a commit that matches exactly with latest released version, B builds some commit without a tag or label.. In my opinion A violates rule#1, but I'm unsure about B. How do we make the difference clear ? - Older versions of repo packages There are plenty of older versions of repo packages in AUR . Just search for gcc or llvm. I don't see anything in the exception that applies to these packages.

Hi folks, I've built my first PKGBUILD based on Brunio Renié's vaudtax, https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/vaudtax/ https://gitlab.com/greut/getax Do you think I could propose it as is to aur-request? Do you see anything that could be improved? Cheers, -- Yoan
