Lost my AUR password and e-mail
by LDA 18 May '24

18 May '24

Hi, I used to have an AUR account(lda), whose password was stored on a single laptop, which broke. This wouldn't be a problem if it weren't for the fact that the primary e-mail I used at the time(freetards.xyz) now no longer works(due to a lack of rDNS). I still however own the domain attached to it, and as such, *can* prove I own said account. So I want to ask if I could recover my password that way(since the reset page pointed there.) Thanks, LDA idiot

Kernel / utils-linux update breaks nvidia 390.xx driver dkms build - Any ideas what changed?
by David C. Rankin 09 May '24

09 May '24

AUR folks, This is a general question that may catch others off guard. Having patch for the 6.8 changes when the kernel was release and having no issues through 6.8.9-Arch1, I was very surprised to see build failures in the nvidia-utils 390.xx package after the today's update. For both Linux and Linux-LTS: ( 8/13) Install DKMS modules ==> dkms install --no-depmod nvidia/390.157 -k 6.6.30-2-lts Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 6.6.30-2-lts (x86_64) Consult /var/lib/… [View More]dkms/nvidia/390.157/build/make.log for more information. ==> WARNING: `dkms install --no-depmod nvidia/390.157 -k 6.6.30-2-lts' exited 10 ==> dkms install --no-depmod vboxhost/6.1.50_non_OSE -k 6.6.30-2-lts ==> dkms install --no-depmod nvidia/390.157 -k 6.8.9-arch1-2 Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 6.8.9-arch1-2 (x86_64) Consult /var/lib/dkms/nvidia/390.157/build/make.log for more information. ==> WARNING: `dkms install --no-depmod nvidia/390.157 -k 6.8.9-arch1-2' exited 10 ==> dkms install --no-depmod vboxhost/6.1.50_non_OSE -k 6.8.9-arch1-2 ==> depmod 6.6.30-2-lts ==> depmod 6.8.9-arch1-2 The actual errors seem like regressions somewhere as similar bugs were fixed in the past 3-4 years for both Nvidia and Vbox. The errors are: In file included from /var/lib/dkms/nvidia/390.157/build/common/inc/conftest.h:5, from /var/lib/dkms/nvidia/390.157/build/common/inc/nv_stdarg.h:29, from /var/lib/dkms/nvidia/390.157/build/common/inc/os-interface.h:27, from /var/lib/dkms/nvidia/390.157/build/nvidia/nv-frontend.c:12: /var/lib/dkms/nvidia/390.157/build/conftest/functions.h:76:2: error: #error wait_on_bit_lock() conftest failed! 76 | #error wait_on_bit_lock() conftest failed! ... /var/lib/dkms/nvidia/390.157/build/common/inc/nv-linux.h: In function ‘nv_ioremap_nocache’: /var/lib/dkms/nvidia/390.157/build/common/inc/nv-linux.h:568:17: error: implicit declaration of function ‘ioremap_nocache’; did you mean ‘ioremap_cache’?

Removal of NicoHood as Package Maintainer due to inactivity
by gromit 05 May '24

05 May '24

Hi all, I'd like to start a "Special Removal of an Inactive Package Maintainer"[0] for NicoHood based on prolonged inactivity. NicoHood has not executed any packaging or AUR maintenance duties since 6 Months now, but the mentioned activity is IMO rather an outlier. When I contacted all people who were inactive in votings for a longer period of time[1] (August '23) we heard back[2] from Nico stating that he would still like to help out with Arch but does not have time/capacity due to personal … [View More]

Re: About the intentionally duplicated package wechat-beta-bwrap and wechat-universal and unmaintained orginal package wechat-uos
by Kimiblock Moe 01 May '24

01 May '24

Hi Aᴀʀᴏɴ, The duplicated package has 55 votes, while the original version wechat-uos-qt has 19. I’m not losing patience though, just a little curious about why this thread appeared inactive. I guess PMs have been flooded with requests recently… -- Sincerely, Kimiblock

Aarch64 package moderation policy
by Sam Day 15 Apr '24

15 Apr '24

Hello! I recently learned that the AUR seems to have an actively enforced moderation policy preventing packages that either only work on aarch64, or are otherwise heavily focused/only useful on that platform. RFC0032 hasn't finalized yet, and of course it could still end up being rejected or otherwise put on indefinite hiatus... My outsider perspective is that it likely will happen though, so I'm working under that assumption. In this case, it's only a matter of time before non-x86 … [View More]

Package Maintainer Application - Carl Smedstad
by Carl Smedstad 25 Mar '24

25 Mar '24

Hi everyone, My name is Carl, or carsme on AUR/IRC, and this is my application to become a Package Maintainer. I started my Linux journey in 2016, while studying engineering mathematics at Chalmers University here in Gothenburg, Sweden. At the time, I was struggling with motivation and direction in my studies, but things took a positive turn when my friend group introduced me to Linux. I started out on Ubuntu but quickly transitioned to Arch Linux as there was a strong "btw, I use arch" … [View More]atmosphere in our group :) With this new discovery, technology suddenly started making sense and became understandable. I had tinkered with computers since I was a child, but this was the first time I felt that anything was doable, given some time and dedication. As such, tinkering with my system became my new favorite pastime. Shortly after this formative moment, I got a part-time job as a developer, which eventually became full-time and made me drop out of university. This put me on a path which I'm very happy to be on, and which led me to today, where I'm leading a team developing route optimization solutions for commercial aviation. I still tinker a lot, but now with a broader scope that includes the processes, technologies and tools me and my team use in our daily work. Arch Linux has been my daily driver for around eight years now, and I have since 2021 tried to get more involved in the project, mainly by maintaining packages in the AUR. This has been a learning experience and I've tried to continuously improve my process and my packages. Examples include: fixing namcap warnings, migrating to standards based Python packaging (PEP 517), migrating to SPDX license identifiers, and most recently, using nvchecker to check for new versions. Outside of tech, I really enjoy traveling and try to do so as often as possible. Specifically, hiking through new landscapes and sampling local cuisine. Most recent trips were to the Bavarian Alps and to Sardinia in Italy, both of which were fantastic experiences (with great food!). For reference, PKGBUILDs for all packages I maintain in the AUR are available here: https://github.com/carlsmedstad/aurpkgs I've also published some helper scripts I use: https://github.com/carlsmedstad/aurutils-extra For my other OSS-contributions, primarily bug reports and minor patches, my GitHub profile is most likely the best place to get an overview. As package maintainer, I intend to initially bring the following packages (+deps) into [extra], provided no one has any objections: * espanso * opentofu * powershell * protonmail-bridge * rdiff-backup * watchman Regarding (co-)maintenance of what's already in [extra], I'd like to adopt some of the currently orphaned Python and Ruby packages, for example: * python-joblib * python-oscrypto * ruby-treetop Additionally, I did a quick search for packages with only one maintainer among those I regularly use, and ended up with the following candidates for potential co-maintainership: * aerc * handlr * istio * python-black * sqlfluff Hopefully that gives a good picture of who I am and where I'd like to start my journey as a package maintainer, if accepted. My sponsors are Levente Polyak (anthraxx) and Christian Heusel (gromit) and I'm very thankful for their feedback and encouragement so far. Thank you for taking the time to read this, cheers! -- Sincerely, Carl Smedstad PGP: 888285CF6ED6758F [View Less]
