[aur-general] Bump pkgrel just to force recompilation
by Justus-dev＠Piater.name 10 Aug '17

10 Aug '17

Hi - I keep running into problems caused by stale installations from the AUR, such as upgraded, ABI-incompatible dependencies or Python packages still installed under /usr/lib/python3.5/ where they are no longer found since the move to python3.6. My understanding is that in such situations, the affected packages should bump pkgrel to force rebuild and reinstall, even if the source and the rest of the PKGBUILD remain unchanged. Is this understanding correct? If so, can this be clarified in places such as [1][2] where people cannot miss it? Confronted with this issue, some maintainers advise their users to just rebuild by hand, but that defeats part of the purpose of package management systems. I don't want to have to debug weird run-time errors one by one, trace the problem to this trivial issue, and then solve each of them by manual rebuild.

[aur-general] Package proprietary softwares with hard-coded paths within /usr/local?
by Chi-Hsuan Yen 08 Aug '17

08 Aug '17

Hello Arch enthusiasts, I'd like to create a package for Pulse Connect Secure, a popular VPN software. Current PKGBUILD can be found at [1]. That package works fine, but it conflicts with Arch's packaging guideline. [2] "Packages should never be installed to /usr/local" The reason I put files in /usr/local is that file paths are apparently hard-coded. Specifically, the VPN frontend (pulseUi) loads assets from /usr/local/pulse/html, and then it invokes /usr/local/pulse/pulsesvc to actually connects to VPN. Is there a workaround for this? Best, Yen Chi Hsuan [1] https://github.com/yan12125/aur/blob/master/pulse-connect-secure/PKGBUILD [2] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_packaging_standards#Package_etiqu…

[aur-general] TU Application: Dan Printzell
by Dan Printzell 08 Aug '17

08 Aug '17

Hi Arch people. My name is Dan Printzell, but I often go by Wild/Vild or when I use an old account, WildN00b. I'm writing this TU application because I want to maintain the dlang packages that are currently orphaned or being dropped from [community]. I'm being sponsored by Johannes Löthberg. A little about me. I'm 21 years old programmer from Sweden. I'm currently studying game programming at BTH. On my freetime I'm usually code on my operating system that I'm writing in D from scratch [1]. I usually stream this development on my twitch channel [2]. The first time I touched Linux I believe was back in '08, when I was about 12. I order those free CD with Ubuntu and played around with it a lot. After that I have been switching between Windows and Linux distroes as my main driver depending on if I wanted to be productive and code, or if wanted to play games. I started to use Arch maybe 5-6 years ago, where the latest 4 years I have been using it as my main driver for all my computers. I think I choose Arch because pacman made sense to me compared to apt-{get,cache,whatever}. I created my first package about 3 years ago for my custom bar, but it is long gone after the AUR3 update. Around the same time I started to use dlang as my main language and I started to maintain a few -git packages for the different helper tools, and when the none -git packages got orphaned or dropped from [community] I took over them. If I were to become a TU I would want to maintain all the dlang packages that are orphaned in [community] [3]. I would also like to move these packages to [community]: - dcd [4] - dfmt [5] - dscanner [6] - dub [7] - workspace-d [8] TL;DR I use the D programming language, so I want to maintain it.

Greetings, Let's bring back AUR Cleanup Day. Several people have signed a blood oath^w^w^w^wshowed an interest in participating, and as everyone knows, the AUR needs all the love we can spare. If any TUs could attend, it would be appreciated. See this[] wiki article for cleanup criteria and other details. The event will be all day September 20th -- mark your calendars. Join #archlinux-aur and BYOB. [] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DeveloperWiki:AUR_Cleanup_Day Best, polyzen PS: A duplicate of this email may show up on the ML in a day or so -- just disregard it. I initially sent this through archlinux.info a day or so ago, and got tired of waiting for it.

[aur-general] Hello from Jethro, and could someone take a look at my first pkgbuild?
by J3thro 31 Jul '17

31 Jul '17

Hi folks, I am very happy that I finally get the chance to join AUR community and contribute something. I just adopted an orphan AUR package and submitted my first pkgbuild (see https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pycharm-community/) Is there anyone willing to double check that I didn't make stupid mistakes? Regards,

[aur-general] TU question
by Dan Printzell 24 Jul '17

24 Jul '17

Hi, my name is Dan and I'm currently reading up on what is needed to become a TU. I'm doing this because I'm interested in maintaining the dlang packages, now that Dicebot left. But before I decide anything I want to know what is needed from me and how the whole process works. So far I've read these links: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Trusted_Users https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR_Trusted_User_Guidelines https://aur.archlinux.org/trusted-user/TUbylaws.html So I was wondering if anyone had any links that I could read or any tips to think about before I decide if I want to take the next step. Thanks Dan Printzell
