[aur-general] Help with binary package
by Stephen Weinberg 11 Jun '10

11 Jun '10

Can someone help me with godesk? http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=37635&detail=1 It used to work, then there was some update and it does not work anymore. It is not a dynamic binary, however according to what I have been reading this may have to do with a glib update. When I run the binary, I get: $ godesk (process:8174): Gdk-WARNING **: locale not supported by C library (godesk:8174): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library. Using the fallback 'C' locale. godesk: ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/getpagesize.c:32: __getpagesize: Assertion `_rtld_global_ro._dl_pagesize != 0' failed. Aborted The GDK warnings were always there, but it is the getpagesize that is failing. Since it is a binary package, I do not expect you to be able to fix it. However, I need someone to help me figure out what caused it so I can give a better report upstream. They are responsive and have fixed bugs I have given them in the past. -- Stephen

[aur-general] TU application for Thomas Dziedzic
by Thomas Dziedzic 11 Jun '10

11 Jun '10

Hello, My name is Thomas Dziedzic. I recently applied to the Junior Developer program, but I was not accepted because of the quantity of people that applied. Allan McRae suggested that I should apply to be a TU so here I am. I have contacted Ionuț Bîru (wonder) and he has agreed to sponsor me. This will mainly be a reiteration of my JD program application. Now, onto some background about me. I got started with open source software several years ago mainly out of curiosity by installing a linux distro (mandrake). Some OSs that I have used before archlinux include: mandrake (now mandriva), debian, opensuse, fedora core (now fedora), slackware, freebsd, ubuntu, and many others. Now my distro hopping days are mostly over thanks to archlinux and virtualbox. I have been using archlinux on my desktop for at least 2 years now. I go by the following nicks, td123 on irc/aur, and tomd123 on bbs/bugs/wiki. I currently maintain 78 packages in the aur. [1] I keep them mostly up to date and bug free. I know some of the packages aren't perfect but most (if not all) work. Most importantly, I don't ignore user requests/problem reports. I also go through some bug reports and help out where ever I can. I am fairly comfortable with writing packages for archlinux. I am also comfortable fixing bugs in the packages. I currently don't actively track upstream development of any packages, mainly because I don't have a need to. Occasionally, if I'm curious about certain features or just want to check out the changes/progress, I will check the repo logs or the changelog. I am mainly interested in maintaining scientific/mathematical apps along with apps that follow the unix philosophy. Initially, I would be interested in knowing if I could move sage-mathematics from the AUR to community. Also, I would be interested in adopting grass from community. I am hoping that I will get accepted so I can help improve archlinux even more! -Thomas Dziedzic [1] - http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?SeB=m&K=td123

[aur-general] Deletion request: python-dunwich
by Adam Lloyd 08 Jun '10

08 Jun '10

Hello, Please delete python-dunwich[1]. It is a misspelled and outdated version of python-dulwich[2]. (Looks like it was just a typo on the uploader's part.) Also possibly of interest: there are two PKGBUILDs for the development version of dulwich. One is python-dulwich-git[3], and the other is dulwich-bzr[4]. The project seems to be maintained at both repositories, and each package has distinct makedepends; nonetheless, they might be undesirably redundant.

[aur-general] nginx-unstable orphaning request
by Янченко Игорь 07 Jun '10

07 Jun '10

- nginx-unstable (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=18036 ): should be orphaned. This package hasn't been updated since April 2010. PKGBUILD need only change version and MD5 (in comment user "utravel" write about that, but maintainer didn't answer). Thank you.
