[aur-general] General PKGBUILD and Instalation help.
by hagar 26 Dec '18

26 Dec '18

Merry Christmas all, I have been looking for a general PKGBUILD forum to get some help with some build problems. I have been trying to build the mingw packages using makechrootpkg -c I have built 436 out of 497 packages. There are a few corrections I have to submit. BUT There are a few issues that are quite simply driving me nuts. These PKGBUILD'S are supposed to have built at some point :} I have come across an interesting error with mingw-w64-python-setuptools Quite simply the package() function needs access to /tmp/ It uses wine to install the package. But the fakeroot wont allow wine access to /tmp/ ie - wine: chdir to /tmp/.wine-0/server-841-4e2c3c : Permission denied I have tried a few tricks - even invoking wineserver as a daemon at prepare() this either freezes the build process - or cant access /build/.wine Any clues or hints would be appreciated. Thanks Macca

[aur-general] TU application: Daurnimator

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 Hi all, I'm applying to be a Trusted User; Foxboron has kindly sponsored me and has been mentoring me on the specifics over the last couple of months. I've been using Arch since 2010, having been present in #archlinux almost the whole time! Before that I was a Xubuntu user from approximately 2005. Before that I had flirted with Linux a few times, I think my first exploration of Linux was of Lindows back in 2001. With my programming hat on, I mainly use C and Lua, I'm quite heavily involved in the Lua community. I would like to become a trusted user with the primary goal of improving Arch's Lua packages. With my sysadmin hat on, I'm an admin at hashbang.sh, an online hackerspace/incubator. Amoung other services, we run public shell servers with a fully open configuration. At $DAYJOB roles I've been responsible for packaging and deployment on various Linuxes. With my networking hat on, I maintain a few nodes in Melbourne Wireless, a city-wide wireless network. This has taught me quite a lot about networking hardware and given me the chance to play with routing protocols. I also joined dn42 which is for lack of a better explanation "an internet of VPN tunnels". If accepted as a TU, I'd like to (co)maintain: - lua-expat - lua-filesystem - luajit - luarocks Other packages I'd be happy to co-maintain are: - awesome - jq - keepassxc - love - lua51-bitop - pcsclite - prosody - rlwrap - tig Regards, Daurnimator -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAEBCgAdFiEEHiYzy/cw8s5ux6twRbQpqPnZ0ioFAlv+qPYACgkQRbQpqPnZ 0ireMBAAg61vyyRBh0vbib22kCvfucbqFjzYV/E1gkgDpFo27tgZmBLvysA4AfhU wJQoyCDYJsGMzDC9sLmydmv9GG/QDtySYNia5HHglA8SE/EaNotS8lp1YEjRK0Pu GYpwksjQXRxexDvESsAdNatEh97/6SLbjy3zwGD+EJ7lMQ4LAWgFqW+w1a+u8o1l wnIt4CnSRk2gOuPVI3M3Ueub7/0afZvGp78GERtQ2DwRkUGxxmP7YQ1DtG/NPHzv KJMiCCHr2s+2ZTH4ajEzXOMg3zo6gZkG1/S7Y8MHo+l5lc3WOryBzfFOhQCbLCZb tl1d0bsue9+XIgR9taCog1pW+gYnpahBubl0XZQHg3v9YhepD78rAyhhx6VdfaxH ab6LY1tG16Jeh6QsxVX41+NHVFkEWIGnTVLnHvw4WV1l+I69jr6SB27PjTrwaPM9 d84ZDOUsTurSdTSL1VdCJCJopUQzD1YeHeNURyDfUtcf9FWR0EtPMvIj8+5X8hD+ homfISWdeZeBZ5pbwOgela4hKTdHuMTaJwkEP3DuqdqLKEWqM42WetBArfwEZsUV 4PfdyFjekAKcVJbPxmMSgw3NsPpUtYAEDLYo7U/WVOGtM6lxzL1yo2XTlPoEVqw7 3jDS/BcRpoBP8rvO2umEIz6b9/+EEVc0mtYEql3jxtfahEoA3pM= =bIKy -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

[aur-general] AUR rate limiting
by Drew DeVault 22 Dec '18

22 Dec '18

Following up from IRC. Hello! I run a public build service which has Arch Linux support and uses yay to install AUR packages when requested. I recently had some users running up against the AUR rate limit. The current rate limit window (1 day) seems a bit strict. Would it be possible to apply the rate limit hourly? Today it's 4000 requests per day, but ~166 requests per hour would be a similar load on the server but a bit more forgiving, users would only have to wait an hour before attempting their builds again. The long term solution is probably to mirror the AUR or adjust the approach to try and minimize API requests (perhaps by cloning the repos and sorting out dependencies by sourcing the PKGBUILDs.... would be a bit involved). Any thoughts or advice? -- Drew DeVault

When I look at LUA modules, I see that most are available on "luarocks", which is apparently a package manager for LUA. Can you leverage this to make more LUA modules available on Arch? 2. You have some AUR packages for LUA modules of your own making, yet they hardcode gcc lines instead of using a Makefile. [1] (At least they respect $CFLAGS and $LDFLAGS, I guess.) Why? 3. I have no idea on what some of your more complicated packages do, or why they would require said complexity, e.g. iup. [2] Perhaps you could explain a bit on that regard. 4. Related to the above, there are no current packaging guidelines for LUA packages. [3] Do you plan on starting an effort (possibly with other LUA package maintainers) to remedy this?

[aur-general] Building mingw packages
by hagar 15 Dec '18

15 Dec '18

Good morning All, I have been cleaning up my build system and building all my packages. In doing so I have come across a problem that affects all mingw packages that nuse gcc. mingw-w64-gcc is built with --disable-dw2-exceptions however it would seem that windows is a dwarf system, so mingw-w64-gcc should have been built with --disable-sjlj-exceptions. This most affects the building of mingw-w64-rust which wont build on a sjlj mingw system. And there are a large number of packages that depend on mingw-w64-rust. My question's are - 1. Should mingw-w64-gcc, mingw-w64-gcc-bootstrap and mingw-w64-fs be changed to reflect this so that all mingw64 packages are built the same way? 2. mingw-w64-rust is being installed to /opt/rust, should it be instead installed to /usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32 and /usr/i686-w64-mingw32, as are all the other mingw packages? Thanks Macca ||

by Stefano Capitani 12 Dec '18

12 Dec '18

Hi there, sorry if isn't the right mailing list for this request or discussion feel free to point me in the right mailing list or move this. I ask if is possible to change this package https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons/ because not reflect the real state of this package: i think is better adding the -git suffix since is build from git. I have already asked to change the name of the package ( you can see the request in the comments ). I have ready a pkgbuild for build fixed package ( based on gitlab tag ) because i have build for Manjaro but i can't pushing here since i have this issue. Thank you in advance -- Greetings Stefano Capitani

[aur-general] Help with python-magic-wormhole PKGBUILD
by Storm Dragon 12 Dec '18

12 Dec '18

Howdy, I have had a few people post that they are having trouble with this since it became a split package. Currently, I am unable to reproduce the problems. I have installed it both with yay and with makepkg. I do see one who tried to install it as a group, and since both provide the same package, that would conflict, but they should be able to install either python2-magic-wormhole or python-magic-wormhole. I Can't find anything wrong with the PKGBUILD. Can someone please take a look and let me know if there's anything I can do to make it work better for these people who are having problems? https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/magic-wormhole/ Thanks, Storm -- Powered by Arch Linux!
