by Pierre-Gildas MILLON 18 Oct '17

18 Oct '17

Hi people, I'm trying to update python2-faulthandler to 3.0. I've created the AUR package 2 years ago and I cannot find it anylonger at https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python2-faulthandler and when I try to push the update I have an error message: python2-faulthandler $ git push remote: error: package already provided by []: python2-faulthandler remote: error: hook declined to update refs/heads/master To ssh://aur.archlinux.org/python2-faulthandler.git ! [remote rejected] master -> master (hook declined) If anyone could help me. Many thanks. Regards, Pierre-Gildas

[aur-general] Package review
by Konstantin Gizdov 16 Oct '17

16 Oct '17

Hi all, Looking for a bit of help with two new python packages I uploaded to AUR. Packages in question are python-root_numpy & python-hep_ml. So I think I've done the PKGBUILDs correctly, but when I run namcap on the packages I get warnings about unneeded dependencies included and specifically for hep_ml I get warning about not including any ELF files but not labelling it as 'any' platform. My issue is that I have included only dependencies that are listed by the package developers, but I still have namcap complaining. Also, I thought we weren't not supposed to label packages as 'any'. Or am I wrong? Thanks for the help. Regards, Konstantin

[aur-general] When to make a separate package.
by Mikael Blomstrand 07 Oct '17

07 Oct '17

Hi! I just started playing around with making my own PKGBUILDs and just made one for the "*remarkable*" markdown editor. The problem with *remarkable* is that it uses webkitgtk. I was able to find a PR to the official project fixing this and I used this patch in my PKGBUILD. I uploaded the packet as *remarkable-webkit2gtk*. I'm now rethinking if this was the correct approach or if I should have just adopted the existing packet. (Which is orphaned.) My thought was that since the patch have not been incorporated into the official project, I shouldn't taint the pure *remarkable* package. Am I being overconsiderate? In general is this something people care about? Regards, Mikael

It is useful to multiple people: not only did the package already have feedback (a comment from a user), it was extremely popular when I posted about it on Reddit the day before you deleted it: https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/72id6q/firefoxclean_a_firefox_b… Furthermore, you have been deleting dozens of AUR packages in the last week since you became a TU. Respectfully, perhaps you should check to see if your expectations for AUR inclusion are quite as stringent as those of the other TUs? > If you had such concern about these "features" > and wanted to disable them at compile time, there's existing packages > which take this further e.g. firefox-esr-privacy.

[3] > > [3] https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/restart-my-fox This will not be usable when Firefox 57 hits, because it (along with all other restart addons), isn't compatible with webextensions. I've been purging all XUL extensions from my browser, and that's why I wrote the patch as a replacement. If there's a consensus among TUs that packages like mine are not welcome on the AUR, I'm happy to back down and host the PKGBUILD on Github. Cheers, Adam

[aur-general] Can my AUR package be reinstated?
by Adam Fontenot 29 Sep '17

Hi all, The TU "alad" deleted my package, firefox-clean, from the AUR. I'm assuming this is a mistake, but I can't contact alad directly because their email is hidden on their profile. At first glance, it may appear that my version of the Firefox PKGBUILD in Extra does not do anything notable, but this is not the case. My package is intended to do three things: 1. Set sensible default options that most users will want in the first place. 2. Eliminate *at compile time* code that is not web-browser related (e.g. Pocket). 3. Fix pain points for power users with small, maintainable patches. (e.g. inclusion of a restart button in the file menu) At least items 2 and 3 cannot be done with adjustments to user.js, as the deletion request claims. I don't claim that many people will want to use it, but for those who might, having a package in the AUR to use could save a considerable amount of work. Inclusion in the AUR has never been dependent on the number of users the package benefits, and so far as I can see, firefox-clean doesn't break any rules. Can I recreate the package, or can it be reinstated? Thanks! -Adam Fontenot

[aur-general] Force Push to AUR Package GIT
by Elias Werberich 26 Sep '17

26 Sep '17

Hello AUR Mailing List, I would like to ask if it is possible to force push to an AUR GIT repository. Sometimes it may be useful if you adobt a package and want to keep your own git history - merging unrelated histories should not be done. Regards, Elias Werberich

[aur-general] wine-rt
by Ralf Mardorf 23 Sep '17

23 Sep '17

Hi, perhaps I'm unable to see the forest for the trees when I try to build https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/wine-rt/ . If IIUC what ToxicAvenger described by the comment from 2017-09-23 13:26 Found a workaround, thanks to the community!! Yay!!! 1 - Install lib32-ocl-icd 2.2.11-1 from AUR (https://www.archlinux.org/packages/multilib/x86_64/lib32-ocl-icd/) 2 - On terminal, type: "yaourt wine-rt" (you must have yaourt installed of course) 3 - When yaourt asks if you want to edit the PKGBUILD, choose YES 4 - Scroll down the pkgbuild until you find lib32-libcl and remove them. Delete the entries, but dont leave empty spaces on the dependencies list 5 - Save the pkgbuild and close it. 6 - Yaourt will resume the compilation. Just type YES all the way. 7 - You may have a PGP key error during install, and may need to add the key and restart the whole installation. 8 - You may have "there's no space available on device" from yaourt. In that case, you will need to change TMPPKGBUILD folder and restart the whole installation. is what I tried to archive by running $ wget https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/snapshot/wine-rt.tar.gz $ tar xf wine-rt.tar.gz $ cd wine-rt/ $ gpg --keyserver hkp://pgp.uni-mainz.de --recv-keys DA23579A74D4AD9AF9D3F945CEFAC8EAAF17519D $ sed -i 's/libcl lib32-libcl/ocl-icd lib32-ocl-icd/g' PKGBUILD $ makepkg -s Unfortunately it failed with Error: Cannot open face ../../wine/fonts/courier.ttf make[1]: *** [Makefile:174: coue1255.fon] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory '/tmp/wine-rt/src/wine-64-build/fonts' make: *** [Makefile:16502: fonts] Error 2 ==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build(). Aborting... Does anybody notice were ToxicAvenger forgot something and/or where I made a mistake? Regards, Ralf

[aur-general] TU Application: Alad Wenter
by Alad Wenter 23 Sep '17

23 Sep '17

Hello everyone, My name is Alad Wenter, and I would like to apply for a position as Trusted User. I’m a student in Germany, majoring in Mathematics with a focus on Algebraic Topology. Many thanks to Johannes Löthberg who is sponsoring my TU application. I’ve been using Linux since late 2013, as the EOL of Windows XP was approaching. My first steps were taken via Linux Mint, gradually moving to Debian in both Stable and Unstable variants. I have started using Arch in middle 2014, after being convinced that “I should just install Arch” on a different forum. Since then I have become an ArchWiki Bureaucrat (since May 2016) and IRC Operator (since February 2017) for the #archlinux channel on freenode. Amongst others, I helped complete the long-standing merge of the Beginners’ Guide [1], vastly extended the comparison of third-party AUR scripts on the “AUR Helper” article, [2] and improved coordination amongst users through a new #archlinux-wiki freenode channel. [3] Other activities include the Arch forums [4], Bug tracker [5], and submitting requests on the AUR. [1] https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-dev-public/2016-July/028140.html [2] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR_helpers#Comparison_table [3] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ArchWiki:IRC [4] https://bbs.archlinux.org/profile.php?id=81752 [5] https://bugs.archlinux.org/user/18684 For software development, I am familiar with the Bash and C++ languages, and have published a few projects related to Arch, such as aurutils. [6] Where possible, I try to coordinate with upstream authors if I encounter any issues with their projects (for example, [7]) [6] https://github.com/AladW/ [7] https://github.com/i3/i3/issues/2597 If I were to become a Trusted User, I would like to move the following AUR packages to community: - datamash - dmenu-extended - eid-mw - innoextract - mit-scheme - physlock - polkit-explorer - python-i3 - qpdfview - wimlib I have opened a repository with modifications from the original AUR packages to better suit them as candidates for [community]. [8] [8] https://github.com/AladW/community I would further adopt the following orphans in community: - cabextract - gpick - sigil - sshfs - udevil - usbview Cheers, Alad

Dear List, As of yesterday night I can no longer `git push` anything to AUR. I have strong suspicions something changed with my account permissions. Even if the source URL is "git://" I get the same 403 message. Below demonstrates the process I'm taking. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but to me it would seem I suddenly somehow lost permissions to push anything to the AUR. -- $ git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/openssh-ldap-publickey.git; cd openssh-ldap-publickey Cloning into 'openssh-ldap-publickey'... warning: You appear to have cloned an empty repository. makepkg --printsrcinfo > .SRCINFO $ cat .SRCINFO pkgbase = openssh-ldap-publickey pkgdesc = Wrapper for OpenSSH to store public keys inside the OpenLDAP entry. pkgver = 20170922 pkgrel = 1 url = https://github.com/AndriiGrytsenko/openssh-ldap-publickey install = openssh-ldap-publickey.install arch = any license = custom makedepends = pear-net-ldap2 makedepends = pear-net-ldap3 makedepends = perl-net-ldap-server provides = openssh-ldap-publickey conflicts = openssh-ldap-publickey source = git+git://github.com/AndriiGrytsenko/openssh-ldap-publickey source = openssh-ldap-publickey.install sha256sums = SKIP sha256sums = 6d278c4f8c5db66bb958cee64e54b40f96cd7ae410f4e89f41df54017164c4bf pkgname = openssh-ldap-publickey # List files $ la . .. .git openssh-ldap-publickey.install PKGBUILD .SRCINFO # Git Status $ git status On branch master No commits yet Untracked files: (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed) .SRCINFO PKGBUILD openssh-ldap-publickey.install nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add" to track) [vagrant(a)archlinux.vagrant.vm [~/projects/git/aur/openssh-ldap-publickey] $ git add * $ git commit [master (root-commit) 9da8eb7] initial commit 3 files changed, 75 insertions(+) create mode 100644 .SRCINFO create mode 100644 PKGBUILD create mode 100644 openssh-ldap-publickey.install $ git status On branch master Your branch is based on 'origin/master', but the upstream is gone.
