[aur-general] Change of Password
by Brett M. Gilio 06 Dec '17

06 Dec '17

Hello, My aur account, bmgxc9, had a change of password probably three weeks ago that I seemed to have misplaced. The email box that it was registered under, contact(a)brettgilio.com is defunct and inaccessible at the moment. BMG -- Brett M. Gilio B.S. Biological Sciences B.M.

[aur-general] x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu vs x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
by Ralf Mardorf 05 Dec '17

05 Dec '17

Hi, usually I build claws-mail-git from AUR by adding --build=$(uname -m)-arch-linux-gnu to ./configure. Today I forget to add it, so I expected a default of x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, since /etc/makepkg.conf is configured to default to it. Sometimes I build without an AUR helper, but today I used yaourt. To my surprise "x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" is used. [rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ grep CHOST /etc/makepkg.conf* /etc/makepkg.conf:CHOST="x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu" /etc/makepkg.conf-20130715_000209.bak:CHOST="x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu" /etc/makepkg.conf.pacnew:CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" [rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ grep linux /etc/yaourtrc #AURURL="https://aur.archlinux.org" Why isn't "x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu" used? Seemingly I'm missing another config. Regards, Ralf

[aur-general] aurweb 4.6.0 released
by Lukas Fleischer 03 Dec '17

03 Dec '17

Dear aurweb contributors and users, We are pleased to announce the release of aurweb 4.6.0! This release brings a lot of improvements to the comment functionality. You can now use basic Markdown syntax to format your comments. Commit hashes to the Git repository of the package and references to Flyspray tickets are converted to links automatically. Long comments are collapsed and can be expanded on demand. We also made some changes not immediately visible to the end user, including several security fixes, a safety mechanism to prevent Trusted Users from accidentally performing non-fast-forward pushes and a public API to retrieve a list of registered account names. For a comprehensive list of changes, please consult the Git log [2]. As usual, bugs should be reported to the aurweb bug tracker [3]. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/ [2] https://projects.archlinux.org/aurweb.git/log/?id=v4.6.0 [3] https://bugs.archlinux.org/index.php?project=2

[aur-general] TU Application: Andrew Crerar
by Andrew Crerar 30 Nov '17

30 Nov '17

Hi Everyone! My name is Andrew Crerar (aka andrewSC) and I'm applying to become a Trusted User. Big thanks to Johannes Löthberg for being my sponsor! :) At the moment I'm a Research Software Engineer at The Laboratory for Analytic Sciences [1] where I primarily write Python 3.x (in combination with various other tech like nginx, gunicorn, elasticsearch, etc.) for the prototypes we're building here. Prior to working at the lab I was a Software Engineer and Computer Scientist at Adobe Inc. [2] where I lead and managed the development of Custom Creative Networks [3] (primarily PHP with some JS heavy elements) on the Behance [4] team. My Bachelor's degree is in Computer Science which I received from The Rochester Institute of Technology [5]. I've been using Arch Linux since 2008-2009ish and have seen it grow into something incredible. Over the past several years I've picked up a handful of packages [6] in the AUR which I enjoy maintaining. I also participate in package signoffs for [core], [extra], and [community]. I wish to grow my ability to contribute by becoming more involved in maintaining and managing the AUR while also making contributions to [community] where appropriate. More recently I've created and open sourced Checkthat [7] with the intention to help other AUR package maintainers increase the quality of their packages by combining makepkg and namcap to produce a status + lint report in an automated fashion. I'm not entirely sure if this could be considered an AUR helper so I've refrained from adding it to the wiki for the time being. I also contribute patches to upstream projects on occasion, the most recent being for Gtk+ [8]. If I were to become a Trusted User, I would like to move firefox-developer [9] to [community] as well as adopt Evangelos Foutras's [community] packages [10] if he doesn't want to move them to [extra]. I should mention that the firefox-developer package in the AUR, as it exists, would not be moved to [community]. I've been working with Jan Steffens to produce an acceptable PKGBUILD [11] that would. I would ask the TU's to review that PKGBUILD in place of the current AUR package. Furthermore, the primary reason I'm refraining from landing these changes immediately in the AUR is because it would dramatically increase build times for all current users of the package. Regards, Andrew [1] https://ncsu-las.org [2] https://www.adobe.com [3] https://www.behance.net/poweredby [4] https://www.behance.net [5] https://www.rit.edu [6] https://ptpb.pw/lvIR [7] https://github.com/andrewSC/checkthat [8] https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=789777 [9] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/firefox-developer [10] https://www.archlinux.org/packages/?sort=&repo=Community&q=&maintainer=fout… [11] https://github.com/andrewSC/firefox-developer-edition

[aur-general] Duplicati 2.0 Beta
by Alessio 27 Nov '17

27 Nov '17

Hi all, would anyone be interested in having the "stable" version of Duplicati in the AUR? I really like using Duplicati for my backups, but the Devs don't recommend using anything besides the "stable beta release" for important backups. The AUR only has the latest git build for Duplicati (which I used up until now), so I thought maybe other people are interested and I could submit a request (would be my first one). Cheers, Alessio

[aur-general] Neural Networks
by Brett M. Gilio 19 Nov '17

19 Nov '17

Is anybody here interested in Neural Networks or Biological-model based topology? I have taken over some orphaned packages, and am planning on creating a few new AUR packages to fill out this gap in the AUR. Thanks! BMG -- Brett M. Gilio B.S. Biological Sciences B.M.
