[aur-general] please delete pygit2-git
by Hervé Cauwelier 07 Jan '11

07 Jan '11

Hi, I long hesitated between naming my package "pygit2-git" (to follow the upstream name) and python-libgit2-git (to follow the Python naming scheme). I chose the latter and added "pygit2" in the description so people still find it. Please delete https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=43692 Thanks

[aur-general] [aur general] Seeking the TU wisdom
by Thomas S Hatch 07 Jan '11

07 Jan '11

Ok, I have a bit of a problem with a pair of packages, puppet and facter. As it stands the puppet package in the aur is broken, it builds but it does not run properly. The puppet package in the AUR is configured to run on ruby 1.9, puppet does not run properly on ruby 1.9 yet, and the pacman plugin for puppet that is supplied with the package no longer works properly. The package has also been out of date for a few weeks. I have contacted the maintainer and I was promised that my fixes would be applied, but they were not, so I made a duplicate, puppet-ruby1.8 and facter-ruby1.8, I am using these packages in production and they work very well. I even open up a github account, forked Miah's puppet package, applied the changes and requested a pull as requested. But the package remains out of date and broken, so my question is this, does this constitute grounds for having a TU orphan the packages so I can update them, make them work, and get rid of my duplicates? Or should I continue more diplomatically? -Tom Hatch

Hey everyone, I'm off to the beach for a few days, and should be back on Friday if not earlier. Just thought I'd let everyone know, although I doubt anything will need my attention while I'm away. Jonathan

Re: [aur-general] TU Application -Thomas Hatch
by Christopher Rogers 06 Jan '11

I was working on something that is like quarters. I called it absbb (or ABS Build Bot). I was trying to make a build like slitaz<http://www.slitaz.org/>has for there distro but for arch. I used makerepo to help with making the packages once in chroot. I have not looked at it in a few months since i was busy trying to make slitaz better and updated. https://github.com/godane/devtools-pkgbuild/tree/archbb Also there is archbb script that was just my attempt to combined all of devtools into one big script. That didn't get any auto build bot feature into it. I hope this helps. Also +1 for TU. PS I started releasing my livecd again at http://godane.wordpress.com.

[aur-general] Ocaml Packages
by Thomas S Hatch 05 Jan '11

05 Jan '11

I am looking at the state of the ArchLinux Ocaml packages. I am trying to update a number of them and I am trying to build a number of ocaml applications, but there are many incosistencies. The main problem is that there are ocaml packages that build with findlib and without findlib, and they place the development libs in different places. Also I have found a few packages that install libs in the findlib dir AND in the ocaml dir. The two directories are : findlib: /usr/lib/ocaml/site-lib non-findlib: /usr/lib/ocaml Other distributions with more developed ocaml support, such as fedora and Debian/Ubuntu have chosen to use findlib for all packages and they all install to the /usr/lib/ocaml dir. So I am proposing for discussion, that we look into repairing the ocaml packages to all use findlib and to install everything into /usr/lib/ocaml. Then we can have some peace on the ocaml front and we can do away with the complications in the AUR with ocaml packages. I have adopted the ocaml-findlib package and a number of them have been orphaned, (which I am picking up) but I wanted to run this by the TUs and other AUR devs before I really considered revamping the ocaml landscape in the AUR. -Thanks -Thomas S Hatch

[aur-general] Audio plug-ins name convention
by Bernardo Barros 04 Jan '11

04 Jan '11

Hi all! I'm packaging some audio plug-ins and I wanted to know if there is any naming convention to this, as with fonts. Since there are different formats (LADSPA, LV2, DSSI and VST), if we follow the convention used with fonts (like ttf-xxxxx), we will get: lv2-xxxxx dssi-xxxxx ladspa-xxxxx vst-xxxxx It makes sense?

[aur-general] xbmc-svn and skins removal request
by Vlad George 04 Jan '11

04 Jan '11

Hello TUs, please remove "xbmc-svn" (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=20156) as it is now succeeded by xbmc-git (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=45036) Also please remove the unmaintained xbmc skins: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?O=0&K=xbmc&do_Orphans=Orphans&detail=… All the skins in the AUR aren't needed anyway, because skins use now the add-on interface and are now installed locally through xmbc. Thanks in advance, Vlad --
