[aur-general] About BURG packages
by H.Gökhan SARI 24 Nov '10

24 Nov '10

Hello, There is a variety of burg-* packages on AUR: burg-bzr burg-bzr-fixed burg-emu-fixed burg-themes burg-themes-extras burg-themes-fixed the packages with *-fixed postfix are the working ones (There is a thread going on https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=100130) And the other packages (the packages other than burg-themes-extras, I didn't test it) are orphaned or not working -BTW, most of them aren't updated for a while-. I suggest removing burg-bzr, burg-themes and renaming fixed packages as deleted ones. And also, I'll test burg-themes-extras and let you know if it works. Thanks, -- H.Gökhan SARI hsa2(a)difuzyon.net

[aur-general] TUs: low disk space on sigurd
by Pierre Schmitz 23 Nov '10

23 Nov '10

Hi TUs, just to let you know, that sigurd's hard drive is filled up to 82%. You should look for things to be cleaned up and please be more responsible with resources. Some packages are really large. Don't forget that a single package will need up to 4 times its size: two architectures, one source package and downloadable sources in the source cache dir. Greetings, Pierre -- Pierre Schmitz, https://users.archlinux.de/~pierre

[aur-general] Fixing packages with broken sources
by Pierre Schmitz 23 Nov '10

23 Nov '10

Hello Devs and TUs, as you might know some licenses require providing the sources somehow. While fixing the sourceballs script which implements this I discovered quit a lot of broken PKGBUILDs. We really need to fix those asap as this also breaks ABS and makes rebuilds a real pain (and impossible to automate in future). I have setup a todo list which can be found at http://www.archlinux.org/todo/48/ (there are also links to the raw logs if you like to see why makepkg failed) Here is how to fix it: * If you just missed uploading a source file to svn there is no need to repackage; just add that file and run archrelease $repo-$arch And: use devtools in futuer which prevent such errors * If the checksum is wrong: Have a look why this happened! This might be a serious problem. You need to rebuild and rerelase the package with a new pkgrel of course. * Upstream source has moved. If the checksum is still the same, just update the source url and use archrelease. No need to repackage. * Upstream source is gone. If there is a new version, update to that. If that happens regulary or there is no releiable upstream source you should upload the source to ftp.archlinux.org/other/$pkgname. If the source file is quite big, let me know; so I can blacklist it as there is no need to mirror it twice. Also, let me know if there are any false positives. Greetings, Pierre -- Pierre Schmitz, https://users.archlinux.de/~pierre
