[aur-general] Package not updating on AUR
by Kyle McNally 15 Jan '18

15 Jan '18

Hello, I recently became the co-maintainer of the plex-sub-zero package [1]. I pushed to it's repo, but the version isn't being updated on the AUR. Should the AUR update when I push, or does the maintainer need to do anything? If you check out the PKGBUILD, it shows the updated file.

[aur-general] Does anyone want to maintain the GNUstep packages?
by Sven-Hendrik Haase 13 Jan '18

13 Jan '18

The gnustep-* packages are currently orphaned. Only oolite depends on it but I don't really care much about either. Does anyone want to maintain the gnustep packages? If I don't hear anything until the end of the month, I'll drop them as well as oolite to the AUR.

[aur-general] aurjson - Adding groups to the infos of a search
by Ricardo Band 02 Jan '18

02 Jan '18

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 Ahoi, I'm building a AUR wrapper and I would like to display the package groups next to the search results when someone searches for a package like pacman does it for official repos. In the wiki [1] it says that the output of the aur rpc is just a list of info request outputs. But when I'm doing a search [2] I don't get the extra info I get with a info request [3]. What I would need is the "Groups" info. Could this be added to the list of elements that a normal search returns? It would speed up my wrapper alot. Atm I'm doing info requests for every single package that I get in the search request and I really don't like that. :/ [1]: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AurJson#search_2 [2]: https://aur.archlinux.org/rpc/?v=5&type=search&by=name-desc&arg=unrealtourn… [3]: https://aur.archlinux.org/rpc/?v=5&type=info&arg[]=unrealtournament - -- Greetings Ricardo Band https:// www.ricardo.band mailto:// email(a)ricardo.band -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAEBCgAdFiEEhyzgFNiV8yZuI1T5Gp1lfQa1gg4FAlo/AMsACgkQGp1lfQa1 gg4XJw//RaLlxBGfG9cYTMguWJhx6CPOQkSJrT6FJ4is1GnW1WZSgCtMu559N39w PqM/SxFODD58gZYlR9k31wwjoUFb/PujBVF8BDx0ulT5s2d+b45HM2kQkpAUnp66 7T8ww1v/PNcce6rA9wu3jZK64zdDxC8OF3+KJ+HOejCDwGmzBAf70o0rYHQZ5JHW +k//QebFpZmk7uegGTeCHZqX9RmrGfZBUHdtbUrVpijwOmU+qRSmT9e2DXtxvZjE 6hRcVX9MsOuxgjjXvMD37MVKO5ANSuzVOF0vwrbnoi7bh0qcV6iFyn5Ck9aiIn/t EhzCdr7FNlK5/cBMvEBfBvguOFebkckvXj1tO4v3oXOIdvF84U0BU07nZlMOefnp pT8cJICookjlToLj1xNyagKs+h7YYTBJdWLIA3AWzHR+r9k/Eyb3eqRMavGTABVz eq3a/S2umhuzYKEFu51mYnm1ws64Rc2/lDGj/O/Nv8BVZPG8xPHZNh7LzbhrLqcq jmGqoxyAvlDAOo2PHaZvU8gCp0PGlmsmpyTOJhqIQ1g73u0tRreM+qiFekOAy8V9 jNQmTQcZPA+Tp2+nBByo8ba0A5wLkf6ONKYzX8i7tOnSMBILdkmonbb3/zzDpKoY Ni+uVSrmFQnmGMcvNZHfp9JZ7+xZ8FPGmLqOsGIjNa5ibvbT6ac= =kpHV -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

[aur-general] Rage-git package exists but pkg web page 404 + seems unmaintained
by Carsten Haitzler 30 Dec '17

30 Dec '17

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/rage-git Is gone but repo is alive: git clone ssh://aur@aur.archlinux.org/rage-git.git Works. As does: git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/rage-git.git And I see no removal request on aur-requests: https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/aur-requests/ (downloaded full mbox archive): $ grep rage-git aur-requests.mbox sickrage-git [3]: [3] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/sickrage-git/ No rage-git. What happened? It's unmaintained because it doesn't build (since July 20 when I removed the autotools based build upstream and moved to meson as the build system). I put in a comment on the pkg page that the AUR pkg build was broken ages ago and offered to take over maintenance in the package comments but got no reply and now the package page at least has disappeared. How about restoring it? I can also take over maintenance as I have kept a git clone of rage-git and moved it to meson locally (have not pushed). I also now maintain efl-git and enlightenment-git too (rage-git depends on efl). -- ------------- Codito, ergo sum - "I code, therefore I am" -------------- Carsten Haitzler - raster(a)rasterman.com

[aur-general] TU application for Eli Schwartz
by Eli Schwartz 26 Dec '17

26 Dec '17

Hello, all. :) My name is Eli Schwartz, better known as eschwartz on the forums[1], AUR[2], bugtracker[3], wiki[4] general mailing lists, IRC, and generally everywhere I can stick my nose in. With the aid of Bartłomiej Piotrowski, I am applying today to become a TU. I'm 24 years old, and currently studying Computer Science in the United States. I've been interested in Linux ever since I was first introduced to it in high school, when I asked "what would be the best Linux distro to install if I really want to learn how things work", and I was recommended to try out Arch Linux. It's a choice I haven't regretted since! Outside of Linux my main hobby is books/ebooks (primarily SF&F of all sorts). I have leveraged this nicely to feed back into software which deals with ebooks. :) ... I've now been an active member of the Arch Linux community for approximately 3.5 years, and in that time I've become a member of the Arch Bug Wranglers team, given an Arch Classroom tutorial[5], contributed a few small patches to various Arch projects, mainly pacman[6], and generally hung out on the forums and in IRC, trying to be helpful. Recently I've been doing a bit of general helping out in #archlinux-reproducible[7] as well. I've always been especially interested in packaging for Arch Linux, and have reviewed many PKGBUILDs on this mailing list as well as in the AUR Issues, Discussion & PKGBUILD Requests subforum and in #archlinux-aur, written a popular script for maintaining AUR packages[8], and featured the topic of packaging for Arch Linux in the above-mentioned Arch Classroom tutorial. I anticipate doing all^W^W^Wmost of this in a somewhat more formal role. :) I would like to become a TU in order to contribute more to Arch Linux in general (because it would be a shame to miss out on one particular angle I guess). It would also give me more scope to help fix simple packaging bugs that come up on the bugtracker, help resolve some policy TODOs[9], fix packages which no longer build due to e.g. missing sources (many such packages have been discovered in part due to the valiant efforts of Reproducible Arch Linux and Arch Linux 32), and of course to bring some packages to [community] that I feel would do well there. If given the opportunity, I would consider bringing the following packages to community: - firefox-extension-https-everywhere (I conmaintain this) - fanficfare (I maintain this) - git-crypt - advancecomp - llpp - wikicurses - ghi - dtrx - checkbashisms I would adopt the cinnamon desktop packages, as faidoc is not very active currently and arojas, who currently builds them, says he'd prefer someone who actually uses it to do so. I've also received permission to comaintain sigil and qbittorrent, as well as calibre and its dependencies (I maintain the -git packages for all three in the AUR, and have contributed most of the calibre PKGBUILD as well).
