[aur-general] PKGBUILD-git that actually works with branches
by Philipp 29 May '10

29 May '10

Hi there. According to http://www.archlinux.org/pacman/PKGBUILD.5.html PKGBUILD-git.proto should work with git branches, but it doesn't. I did have quite some trouble to get it to work as expected, but eventually it was scj7t4 on IRC who wrote a working script for me. I'd really love to spare other packagers that trouble and would like to get the improved script into PKGBUILD-git.proto. I merged it with the original PKGBUILD-git.proto and hope it's fine this way, but please feel free to make any changes necessary. http://pastebin.com/deqgqjJe -- Regards, Philipp ----- "Wir stehen selbst enttäuscht und sehn betroffen / Den Vorhang zu und alle Fragen offen."

[aur-general] PKGBUILD that helps with VCS upstream contribution?
by Philipp 26 May '10

26 May '10

One of the reasons why I like Arch Linux so much is that it makes it easy to work together with upstream. Through makepkg I can install the latest, even VCS, version in a sane and very comfortable way. So far I've mainly been testing, reporting bugs, stuff like that, but rarely needed to contribute any code. Now if I wanted to contribute code back to a project that uses git, how would I do that without losing the comfort and safety of makepkg? I figured it should be possible to write a PKGBUILD that gets the latest upstream changes but also integrates local changes. Sadly both my bash and git skills are minimal, so I was wondering if someone already has such a PKGBUILD, for git at least and maybe for svn as well. TIA -- Regards, Philipp

Hi, the AUR package haskell-hsdns <http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=17745> has been out-of-date for quite a while. I tried to contact the maintainers, but unfortunately they are non-responsive. Please orphan the package on AUR so that I can take over maintenance. Take care, Peter

[aur-general] Package deletion: upc (or rename to gccupc)
by Eduardo Martins Lopes 22 May '10

22 May '10

Hello all, I uploaded a package with the wrong name, the package upc should be named gccupc for UPC is a programming language for which there are several compilers (gccupc is only one of it). I already corrected in my pkgbuild and therefore would like to ask for the deletion of the previous one or to have it renamed to gccupc. Thanks in advance,-- Eduardo Martins Lopes
