[aur-general] AUR package updating enhancements
by Nélson «VuDu» Cunha 27 Aug '09

27 Aug '09

Hello, following the weird titled "AUR webpage" thread ( http://www.archlinux.org/pipermail/aur-general/2009-July/thread.html#5602 ) I think the way maintainers handle their packages could have some things simplified. I agree that simple updates to PKGBUILDs should be easier. I've seen many packages with typos in PKGBUILDs, showing that the extra workload of having to archive the files and upload them doesn't necessary make users test things before uploading. That's all up to the maintainer's will to do things right. I think having a simple syntax highlighted code editor to quick edit the PKGBUILD or at least a way to simply update the PKGBUILD without having to archive and upload everything every time would be a great help. Some alternatives google gave me, dunno if there are any better: http://alexgorbatchev.com/wiki/SyntaxHighlighter http://codepress.sourceforge.net/ http://marijn.haverbeke.nl/codemirror/ http://helene.muze.nl/ What do you think?

[aur-general] help requested
by Nathan McBride 27 Aug '09

27 Aug '09

Hey guys, I went to submit my first package, tigervnc-1.0.0-1 and that went well. Then I realized that I forgot to add my name to the top of the PKGBUILD file... Yea I know... So I tried to update the package and couldn't get that to work. (Later finding out that it was because I had the tar.gz file included in my upload and I guess my connection was timing out on a 2.7MB file. Anywho, so I abandoned it thinking if the uploader abandoned it it would delete it, which is not the case. Now when I tried to upload my updated package, it said I no longer have permission to update this package because it is an orphan. My aur name is nmcbride, could someone give me a hand getting the package back so I can upload my update? :D Thanks, Nate

[aur-general] Please delete AUR package "protobuf2"
by Sven-Hendrik Haase 26 Aug '09

26 Aug '09

Hey there, I'm requesting that AUR package "protobuf2" be deleted because it is an updated version of "protobuf" in [community] with no added benefit. On a related note, the "protobuf" [community] package is without a maintainer, yet it would be very easy to maintain and update, any takers? -- Sven-Hendrik

Hey everyone. I've disabled all community packages in the AUR. There will still be a few artifacts remaining in the interface which will be taken care of in the next release of the AUR. Cheers!

[aur-general] Source code for community packages.
by Xyne 25 Aug '09

25 Aug '09

A small public repo of compiled AUR packages reminded me of something. What's the official policy for providing source code for GPL'd binary packages in [community]? I know there was a long discussion about this with some phraknagging eventually leading to a source "repository" for core and maybe extra. Although it would most likely never happen it is possible for someone to show up after nearly 3 years and request a previous package's source code. I suppose that previously the devs could argue that [community] was "not official" and relegate all obligations to the packagers (although only tentatively). Now that [community] is integrated more tightly with [core] and [extra] it seems that this is something at least worth a discussion. How are sources for [core] and [extra] handled? How is the user actually informed of their availability? Are those source archives mirrored or only hosted on the main server? Is this all irrelevant due to some misunderstanding of the GPL's clauses? How much storage space would it take to hose source files for all current packages that require them (e.g. GPL'd binary apps)? Xyne

Hello. nfoview package ( aur-general(a)archlinux.org ) seems to be abandoned. The package is marked out-of-date for some months now and I tried to contact the maintainer by email with no success. Best regards.

[aur-general] AUR deletion request
by keenerd 23 Aug '09

I made an app yesterday with a very stupid name. http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=29526 It now has a better name (pacmatic). It is not even a day old at this point, so deleting it won't break much. To prevent this from happening again, my future release schedule will require I get a solid eight hours of sleep between pulling an all nighter to write it and uploading it to the AUR. Thanks! -Kyle
