[aur-general] TU application
by Alexandre Filgueira 31 Jan '13

31 Jan '13

Hi everybody, This whole thing of becoming a TU began after talking by email with Allan about one article of his where he talked about one project of mine. He put me in contact with Evangelos Foutras to be my sponsor, and here I am trying to become a TU. My name is Alexandre Filgueira. I'm a galician guy (Spain), 22 to 23 years old and computer lover. I'm a sysadmin and teacher. I like bash, python and vala, but I have knowledge in some other languages. I also like web programming. I'm a tv-show/cinema addict and music lover, from classic to blues, jazz, rock, punk... I installed Arch the first time in 2008, at 18 years old. I was with Ubuntu since 2006 and I always wanted to have more control over some things, so I began trying distros... (Fedora, Gentoo, Debian...). When I saw what Arch was about, my head thought... oh yeah baby! ...and when I had my first Arch Linux system installed... I simply felt in love. My first forum post is dated 2009.02.18 asking about help with the grub when I deleted my ubuntu partition to have just Arch on my system. I'm better now xD I just have 2 packages in AUR simply because everything I wanted was in the official repos or already in AUR [1]. After all these years using Arch Linux, I thought that I wasn't helping the community as I could. I have a couple of forum posts, most of them asking. I did years ago a script to automatically install and configure a gnome system (gnome 2 in that time)[2]. My last contribution to the Arch Linux world is Cinnarch, being a bridge to show how good is our base system, showing them across a beautiful window, keeping the real rolling release soul intact. Thanks to my work on Cinnarch, I could find a bug in libalpm and I tried to fix it, with the help of David Reisner, the patch has already been merged.[3] My plan is to bring cinnamon to Arch Linux, a classic desktop built with modern technologies. I think is a good one to have in our official repos. I don't own the cinnamon package in AUR, when I began with Cinnarch, that package already existed. But I fixed some of the problems with that package, like the switch to systemd (I was awake until 3am fixing that thing in Cinnarch and then I reported the fix to the Arch Linux community), or the screensaver fix when gnome 3.6 came. And I think that's all. Thanks for considering me to become a TU.

[aur-general] Install fails on x86_64
by set 31 Jan '13

31 Jan '13

Hello, Fresh install fails on x86_64 with cracklib integrity verification failure and signer verification failure. Tried with 12.12 and 13.01 install images. Other signature failures occur with vim packages. pacman-key --populate and --update result in 'No need to update/refresh'. Can't report the relevant keys as I can't access the machine at any time. arch-chroot /mnt drops in an irresponsive shell. Even ls fails in this chroot. Used mirror.archlinux.ikoula.com . Any hints how to resolve this ? Thanks.

[aur-general] Request for comments: new tdom package - replace or additional git
by Uwe Koloska 30 Jan '13

30 Jan '13

Hello, since I'm really new to archlinux and the AUR I would like to get some comments on my first package, derived from an existing one: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/tdom/ Since the update to tcl 8.6 it is not possible to build the package. Their is no current tagged version so I have created a git-version of the PKGBUILD: https://gist.github.com/4614862 So besides any comment to make the PKGBUILD better, I have the following questions: What's best: make a new package tdom-git that uses the github master branch or just change the current package? Or make a "stable" package that uses the last tagged version and patch the support for tcl 8.6? (and maybe make a git package too) The current maintainer wants to hand over the package. What are the right steps for this? Best regards Uwe
