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 https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/intel-opencl-sdk/ I intend to get to intel-opencl-runtime, helpfully flagged as out-of-date last week, today or tomorrow.

[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.

[aur-general] Package needed: xcalib
by Kristian N. 28 Apr '20

28 Apr '20

Hello. I'm going to be a new Arch user soon and there is an important package I need called xcalib. I need it to adjust my screen due to some vision problems. It is currently in the AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xcalib/ Would any developer be willing to adopt it to the official repositories? I can use the AUR, but this one thing is missing that I need from the repository and it would be very convenient to have it there too. It's a very small and simple program that will not need much upkeep work for the maintainer.

[aur-general] adoptable packages
by Joseph Carta 28 Apr '20

28 Apr '20

Hi All, I added these packages for an application in the aur that no longer requires them, so there is no need for them to exist anymore. If anyone want's to adopt them, let me know, as I'm going to orphan or request delete them soon. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python37-wxpython/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python37-six/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python37-pillow/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python37-gobject/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pygobject37-devel/

[aur-general] Append latest commit link to package update notification
by Amin Vakil 20 Apr '20

20 Apr '20

Arch Linux Wiki has said explicitly that they don't have any responsibilities about what a package in AUR does and they also say that it's mandatory to read and understand PKGBUILD (or any other file or patch that a installation requires) before installing any package. But when a package gets updated and those who have enabled notifications want to update the package, they should (I would say everyone must) click on package page, view changes, and click on latest commit to see what has changed. So appending latest commit link "helps" and "encourages" people to check latest update and I don't think in any possible way has a downside except for a little more text to email which I assume it's OK.
