[aur-general] New repositories (community-staging, multilib-testing)
by Thomas Bächler 11 Sep '10

11 Sep '10

The TU server now has a staging repository, this has been requested due to the big python rebuild. All rebuilds that are made for the staging repository should be put into community-staging now. multilib now has a testing repository, in case we need it (especially useful when testing has a new toolchain). Last but not least, the adjust-permissions cronjob has been disabled on both servers - should you mess with the db file directly (which you really shouldn't), never forget to restore the right permissions.

[aur-general] Haskell hlint
by Nathan O 11 Sep '10

11 Sep '10

I found hlint at http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=23099 going through the orphaned packages, so I went to check the homepage of the software at http://hackage.haskell.org/package/hlint and the author lists package haskell-hlint at http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=34172 Both of them were created by the Arch Haskell team it says at top. "haskell-hlint" is up-to-date, while hlint isn't the differences are mainly that haskell-lint has more dependencies listed and builds/installs and does additional manual install of scripts than "hlint" . So probably hlint should be deleted. Thanks

[aur-general] Why is aur.archlinux.org so slow? :(
by Sven-Hendrik Haase 10 Sep '10

10 Sep '10

Whenever I try uploading a reasonably large package to aur.archlinux.org, my average speed is around 500KB/s. This appears to be an artificial limitation since a server would have at least 10/10MBits uplink. I therefore request the speed limit to be disabled in order to be able to upload large packages with all available bandwidth to increase productivity. Or is there a reason for the limit? -- Sven-Hendrik

[aur-general] Please delete some chicken-egg packages
by Jim Pryor 10 Sep '10

10 Sep '10

Hi I maintain all the chicken-* packages in AUR; these are "eggs" or extensions for the Chicken Scheme compiler and interpreter. I'll soon push a bunch of updates. However, these eggs are now unsupported and should be removed from AUR: chicken-crypto-tools http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=32677 chicken-mailbox-threads http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=32763 chicken-multimethod http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=32770 chicken-termite http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=32835 chicken-wiki-parse http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=32851 Thanks. -- Jim Pryor profjim(a)jimpryor.net

[aur-general] ruby-gtk2 and friends
by Brad Fanella 10 Sep '10

10 Sep '10

I adopted ruby-gtk2, ruby-atk, ruby-gdkpixbuf2, ruby-glib2, and ruby-pango in the AUR recently to update the package and fix some issues with it. If I remember correctly, these packages used to be in community and were recently removed. Was there a good reason for this, or was it just a matter of not caring to maintain it anymore? As these are very popular packages, I would like to move them to community (if nobody objects of course). Thanks, Brad

[aur-general] Partially Inactive again

Hi guys, Since I am moving and I was doing my builds on my office through pkgbuild.com server (which is down from far 2 weeks) I've tried to do the rebuilds at my new home and my 3g phone connection. Of course, hdspa have their limitants and I can't upload or download quick or without issues in most of cases. I am getting a new connection from home, but they will install it until end of this September :/. So if pkgbuild.com server came back, I will update of course from home, but from now, I am needing some help, please feel free to update packages that I maintain and rebuilt them, I have some of them rebuilt, but I cannot upload them because of this network issue. -- Angel Velásquez angvp @ irc.freenode.net Arch Linux Developer / Trusted User Linux Counter: #359909 http://www.angvp.com

[aur-general] mail-notification
by Nathan O 09 Sep '10

gnome-mail-notification http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=32363 seems to be the same as mail-notification http://repos.archlinux.org/wsvn/packages/mail-notification/trunk/ the only difference I noticed is that it doesn't have patches included in the official repo, doesn't seem to enable/disable any options. Thanks

[aur-general] what is the best way to resolve conflicting files in aur packages?
by Alex Combas 09 Sep '10

09 Sep '10

What is the best way to resolve conflicting files in aur packages? I've run into this issue a couple times recently, first of all with "panda3d-cvs" and "cuda-toolkit" both contained the file /usr/bin/bin2c The result was the panda3d-cvs maintainer just removed the file since he said it wasn't doing anything anyway. Now I've run into a similar problem but this time the maintainer fixed it a different way and it broke my package. opencl-headers http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=35367 has 3 files which are also provided by nvidia-utils So now to fix it the maintainer of opencl-headers has added conflicts=(nvidia-utils) to his package. But my problem is that I recently made a package (luxrays-hg) which depends=('nvidia-utils') and also makedepends=('opencl-headers') So my package (luxrays-hg) will no longer install because 2 of its decencies (opencl-headers & nvidia-utils) are in conflict. So what is the best practice in this situation? -- Best regards, Alex Combas goplexian.com
