[aur-general] Force Push to AUR Package GIT
by Elias Werberich 26 Sep '17

26 Sep '17

Hello AUR Mailing List, I would like to ask if it is possible to force push to an AUR GIT repository. Sometimes it may be useful if you adobt a package and want to keep your own git history - merging unrelated histories should not be done. Regards, Elias Werberich

[aur-general] wine-rt
by Ralf Mardorf 23 Sep '17

23 Sep '17

Hi, perhaps I'm unable to see the forest for the trees when I try to build https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/wine-rt/ . If IIUC what ToxicAvenger described by the comment from 2017-09-23 13:26 Found a workaround, thanks to the community!! Yay!!! 1 - Install lib32-ocl-icd 2.2.11-1 from AUR (https://www.archlinux.org/packages/multilib/x86_64/lib32-ocl-icd/) 2 - On terminal, type: "yaourt wine-rt" (you must have yaourt installed of course) 3 - When yaourt asks if you want to edit the PKGBUILD, choose YES 4 - Scroll down the pkgbuild until you find lib32-libcl and remove them. Delete the entries, but dont leave empty spaces on the dependencies list 5 - Save the pkgbuild and close it. 6 - Yaourt will resume the compilation. Just type YES all the way. 7 - You may have a PGP key error during install, and may need to add the key and restart the whole installation. 8 - You may have "there's no space available on device" from yaourt. In that case, you will need to change TMPPKGBUILD folder and restart the whole installation. is what I tried to archive by running $ wget https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/snapshot/wine-rt.tar.gz $ tar xf wine-rt.tar.gz $ cd wine-rt/ $ gpg --keyserver hkp://pgp.uni-mainz.de --recv-keys DA23579A74D4AD9AF9D3F945CEFAC8EAAF17519D $ sed -i 's/libcl lib32-libcl/ocl-icd lib32-ocl-icd/g' PKGBUILD $ makepkg -s Unfortunately it failed with Error: Cannot open face ../../wine/fonts/courier.ttf make[1]: *** [Makefile:174: coue1255.fon] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory '/tmp/wine-rt/src/wine-64-build/fonts' make: *** [Makefile:16502: fonts] Error 2 ==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build(). Aborting... Does anybody notice were ToxicAvenger forgot something and/or where I made a mistake? Regards, Ralf

[aur-general] TU Application: Alad Wenter
by Alad Wenter 23 Sep '17

23 Sep '17

Hello everyone, My name is Alad Wenter, and I would like to apply for a position as Trusted User. I’m a student in Germany, majoring in Mathematics with a focus on Algebraic Topology. Many thanks to Johannes Löthberg who is sponsoring my TU application. I’ve been using Linux since late 2013, as the EOL of Windows XP was approaching. My first steps were taken via Linux Mint, gradually moving to Debian in both Stable and Unstable variants. I have started using Arch in middle 2014, after being convinced that “I should just install Arch” on a different forum. Since then I have become an ArchWiki Bureaucrat (since May 2016) and IRC Operator (since February 2017) for the #archlinux channel on freenode. Amongst others, I helped complete the long-standing merge of the Beginners’ Guide [1], vastly extended the comparison of third-party AUR scripts on the “AUR Helper” article, [2] and improved coordination amongst users through a new #archlinux-wiki freenode channel. [3] Other activities include the Arch forums [4], Bug tracker [5], and submitting requests on the AUR. [1] https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-dev-public/2016-July/028140.html [2] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR_helpers#Comparison_table [3] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ArchWiki:IRC [4] https://bbs.archlinux.org/profile.php?id=81752 [5] https://bugs.archlinux.org/user/18684 For software development, I am familiar with the Bash and C++ languages, and have published a few projects related to Arch, such as aurutils. [6] Where possible, I try to coordinate with upstream authors if I encounter any issues with their projects (for example, [7]) [6] https://github.com/AladW/ [7] https://github.com/i3/i3/issues/2597 If I were to become a Trusted User, I would like to move the following AUR packages to community: - datamash - dmenu-extended - eid-mw - innoextract - mit-scheme - physlock - polkit-explorer - python-i3 - qpdfview - wimlib I have opened a repository with modifications from the original AUR packages to better suit them as candidates for [community]. [8] [8] https://github.com/AladW/community I would further adopt the following orphans in community: - cabextract - gpick - sigil - sshfs - udevil - usbview Cheers, Alad

[aur-general] fatal: unable to access 'https://aur.archlinux.org/...': The requested URL returned error: 403
by crt 22 Sep '17

22 Sep '17

Dear List, As of yesterday night I can no longer `git push` anything to AUR. I have strong suspicions something changed with my account permissions. Even if the source URL is "git://" I get the same 403 message. Below demonstrates the process I'm taking. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but to me it would seem I suddenly somehow lost permissions to push anything to the AUR. -- $ git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/openssh-ldap-publickey.git; cd openssh-ldap-publickey Cloning into 'openssh-ldap-publickey'... warning: You appear to have cloned an empty repository. makepkg --printsrcinfo > .SRCINFO $ cat .SRCINFO pkgbase = openssh-ldap-publickey pkgdesc = Wrapper for OpenSSH to store public keys inside the OpenLDAP entry. pkgver = 20170922 pkgrel = 1 url = https://github.com/AndriiGrytsenko/openssh-ldap-publickey install = openssh-ldap-publickey.install arch = any license = custom makedepends = pear-net-ldap2 makedepends = pear-net-ldap3 makedepends = perl-net-ldap-server provides = openssh-ldap-publickey conflicts = openssh-ldap-publickey source = git+git://github.com/AndriiGrytsenko/openssh-ldap-publickey source = openssh-ldap-publickey.install sha256sums = SKIP sha256sums = 6d278c4f8c5db66bb958cee64e54b40f96cd7ae410f4e89f41df54017164c4bf pkgname = openssh-ldap-publickey # List files $ la . .. .git openssh-ldap-publickey.install PKGBUILD .SRCINFO # Git Status $ git status On branch master No commits yet Untracked files: (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed) .SRCINFO PKGBUILD openssh-ldap-publickey.install nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add" to track) [vagrant(a)archlinux.vagrant.vm [~/projects/git/aur/openssh-ldap-publickey] $ git add * $ git commit [master (root-commit) 9da8eb7] initial commit 3 files changed, 75 insertions(+) create mode 100644 .SRCINFO create mode 100644 PKGBUILD create mode 100644 openssh-ldap-publickey.install $ git status On branch master Your branch is based on 'origin/master', but the upstream is gone.

[aur-general] Removal request for romextract
by beest 21 Sep '17

21 Sep '17

I'd like to request removal for romextract. I sorta became upstream since it was easier at the time than patching and the source hadn't been touched in years, but I zapped most of my GH projects long ago so the source in the (orphaned) PKGBUILD is dead, and it's questionable whether this belonged in the AUR in the first place (being more of a collated collection of utilities with mixed/unknown licenses).

[aur-general] Today is AUR Cleanup Day!
by Daniel Capella 20 Sep '17

20 Sep '17

Have you ever wanted to participate in a purge? Great! Let all your frustrations out on the AUR. The wiki article[1] has instructions for how to proceed and space to compile our list of candidates. Here's[2] an example from a previous rendition of Purge Day. [1] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DeveloperWiki:AUR_Cleanup_Day [2] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php?title=AUR_Cleanup_ Day/2010&oldid=353326 -- Good hunting, polyzen

[aur-general] add base-devel / multilib-devel group as makedepend to AUR packages ?
by LoneVVolf 18 Sep '17

18 Sep '17

Hi, I do have the impression that the number of aur comments about pacakges not building unless foo is installed has gone up. Very often foo turns out to be part of base-devel or multilib-devel. Answering that is easy, by linking to main AUR wiki page that clearly states base-devel is assumed to be installed when building aur packages. That part appears to be overlooked often though and results in unnecessary clutter in aur comments. Perhaps we could put base-devel group in makedepends of aur pacakages ? Lib32-* / multilib packages could list both multilib-devel and base-devel. Lone_Wolf

[aur-general] [Review Request] PKGBUILD for bumblebee-status
by Tobias Witek 18 Sep '17

18 Sep '17

Hello, I'm the maintainer of a tiny small python project for i3 users (https://github.com/tobi-wan-kenobi/bumblebee-status) Turns out most of the people using it seem to be Arch users, so I'd like to provide an AUR package. Since I am not familiar with Arch myself, I'd kindly ask you to please have a look at the attached PKGBUILD just to make sure I'm not breaking anything for a majority of users (I will freely admit I have no clue what I am doing when it comes to building AUR packages). In particular, I am unsure about: * There is a git-based AUR already (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/bumblebee-status-git/) the attached PKGBUILD is intended to be based on release-versions instead of the latest 'master'. Is it OK to use the same provides/conflicts in this case? * Since the sources are a git repo, I don't know how to provide any checksums for the package. Any insights on that would be much appreciated. Thank you very much for any input you can provide! Kr, Tobias

[aur-general] deletion of packages
by Ricardo Band 18 Sep '17

18 Sep '17

Ahoi, I submitted a request to delete 2 of my packages a few days ago but nothing happened so far. The package yabat isn't develope dby me anymore. I deleted the upstream repo so the package can also go away. The package python-virtualfish will be combined with python2-virtualfish once the deletion is done. Would be nice if someone could do this. Happy weekend folks! -- Greetings Ricardo Band https:// www.ricardo.band mailto:// email(a)ricardo.band
