[aur-general] what about R?
by johnea 25 Sep '09

25 Sep '09

Hello Fellow Arch Users, Ya know, we don't always have control over what an upstream project is called. Take for example: The R Project for Statistical Computing http://www.r-project.org/ As can be clearly seen, the project's name is R. Yes, that is a CAPITAL R ! So I've got a PKGBUILD I'd like to upload, but it produces a package called: R-2.9.2-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz Which includes the projects UPPER CASE NAME. As a supporting note, the source filename is: R-2.9.2.tar.gz This package built and installed nicely here with that name, and seems to be running just fine. So WHY DOES THE UPLOADED PACKAGE NEED TO BE LOWER CASE? I'm not YELLING, really, I JUST HAVE A VERY LOUD VOICE 8-) So, what does the OFFICIAL AUR COMMUNITY think about the name of this package? How do we accommodate case aversion and still spread the power and fun of R to the arch linux world? One last point to note. When searching for, or listing packages, with say: pacman -Q | grep R The upper case REALLY helps overcome listing a bunch of other packages due to the extreme popularity of the lower case 'r'. Any suggestions as to a package name acceptable by the community at LARGE (sorry, I just couldn't hold that one back 8-) would be greatly appreciated. Your's in FUN and Graphics Scripting... android p.s. possible solutions: r-project gnur (gnur, really?) R (hey, why not) ... your suggestion here ...

Hi there, There is an AUR package that doesn't compile. I have updated the build on my own. How do I submit it or take over the existing package? The owner isn't responding to my queries. Thanks. Farhan Yousaf, MSIA, ISP Sent from my iPhone

[aur-general] Move [community-testing] packages to [community]
by Evangelos Foutras 22 Sep '09

22 Sep '09

I noticed that the new libldap and postgresql packages were moved to [core] and [extra] respectively. We should probably move rebuilds out of [community-testing] and into [community] as soon as possible. How do we go about this? Using /arch/db-move or something else? :) (I'm not on my desktop computer at the moment, so if someone knows how to proceed with the move, please go ahead.)

My name is Patrick, I'm from the Poland I am working with computers for long time (12 years). Now I'm maintraining 14 packages on AUR in unsupported repo. List of them dwm-git 20090813-1 unsupported devel glib2-newest 2.21.6-1 unsupported system grub2-git 29072009-1 unsupported x11 inputproto-git 1.9.99.902-1 unsupported kernels kernel26-bfs 2.6.31-1 unsupported lib libsoup-git 20090920-1 1 unsupported lib libx11-git 1.2.99.901-1 unsupported modules nvidia-bfs-beta 190.32-1 unsupported x11 renderproto-git 0.11-1 unsupported x11 xextproto-git 7.0.99.3-1 unsupported x11 xf86-input-keyboard-git 20080809-1 unsupported x11 xf86-input-mouse-git 20080808-1 unsupported x11 xorg-server-git 20090529-1 unsupported x11 xorg-xinit-git 20080807-1 Some of them are based on PKGBUILD provieded by ABS and some are based on packages in AUR , and some are builded myself.

Several packages that are unlikely needed... wildmagic - http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=7574 There is a "wildmagic4" package in AUR, so I think this old version may be deleted. soqt - http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=7538 soqt3 - http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=7602 It is identical packages: "soqt" is orphan, but updated in Jun 2009 and it needs for freecad; last update of "soqt3" - Nov 2006 and it doesn't needed for anything. lapack-gcc3 - http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=7378 This package is orphan and last updated at Jul 2007. And there is a new lapack package in Extra repository.
