Hello Arch fellas, I just got into submitting packages to the AUR and made a mistake, two to be exact. I want to have the following two packages removed: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/tictactoe-gtk/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/connect-four-gtk/ How can i accomplish that? Kind regards, Jannik Hauptvogel.

[aur-general] gopro package check
by mickael foucaux 02 Jul '17

02 Jul '17

Hi ! I just realized my first PKGBUILD for gopro tool which is available here for now: https://github.com/mickro/gopro-tools-arch-package Gopro tools are made by https://github.com/KonradIT. That gives some useful tools for GoPro post production. And I think that can be usefull for many. I'm asking here for a PKGBUILD review, as suggested on https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Submitting_packag… . cheers, Mickael

[aur-general] Help with PKGBUILD for python-txtorcon
by Storm Dragon 30 Jun '17

30 Jun '17

Howdy, My package requires a new dependancy called python-txtorcon. I wanted to provide both python2 and python3 versions of this package, so I made the PKGBUILD using the package python-twisted as a guide. I think I have done pretty much everything right, and it works for me, but there are some who are having trouble with it: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/magic-wormhole/?comments=all I have attached the PKGBUILD for python-txtorcon. Can someone please take a look at it and see if there is anything wrong? Thanks for the help :) Storm -- Powered by Arch Linux!

[aur-general] Gcc-6.3: ldd shows wrong symbols
by Stefan Husmann 28 Jun '17

28 Jun '17

Hello, I have put gcc63 to AUR, merely to have a working gcj implemetation, but something is wrong with it. If I compile anything with it, ldd shows that the resulting binaries have wrong symbols. For instance, ldd ~/paketierung/meine_Pakete/fotoxx/pkg/fotoxx/usr/bin/fotoxx |grep -v usr linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffcbe5cf000) libstdc++.so.6 => /lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/6.3.1/libstdc++.so.6 (0x00007fd4fb0e7000) libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/6.3.1/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x00007fd4fabbe000) /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007fd4fe8d6000) IMHO it should be libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/6.3.1/libstdc++.so.6 What am I doing wrong? I do not know how to fix this. fotoxx is written in c++, but this happens also for programs compiled with gcc or gcj. The pdftk PKGBUILD especially suffers from this, as you can see in the AUR comments. Help is much appreciated. Best Regards Stefan

[aur-general] Typo in email address
by Laurent van den Bos 14 Jun '17

14 Jun '17

Dear all, Approximately an hour ago I tried to create an account for AUR but during the registration I made a typo in my email address. After a query on the forum (see [1]) I was referred to this list for help. I think it would be a bit odd if I just create a new account and ignore the other one (keeping the database a bit clean). What is the best thing I could do? The username I registered at AUR is Laurent and the correct email address should be the address of this email. Thanks, Laurent [1] https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=227238

TUs have > taken my packages before, and that's just how it is. :) So, I just noticed that you took over my two packages: amavisd-new and perl-convert-uulib. Which is fine. But I also noticed that instead of preserving their git repo histories, you just started a new repo with the first commit called "import from AUR": https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/community.git/log/trunk?h=packages/amavi… https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/community.git/log/trunk?h=packages/perl-… I'm curious, other than my local backup, is this history now gone for good?

[aur-general] MariaDB vs MySQL
by Konstantin Gizdov 01 Jun '17

01 Jun '17

Hi all, I saw today libmariadbclient was updated to 10.1.24 and dropped the line where it provides libmysqlclient. However, it still ships with the shared libs and conflicts libmysqlclient. I maintain a few packages that require libmysqlclient and I have some installed that require libmariadbclient. So with this conflict and no provision statement, my system is broken. As a temporary fix, the packages I maintain now require libmariadbclient with the hopes that it implicitly provides mysql support too. However, can I realistically depend on this as a fact or not? If not, isn't that a way bigger problem for others as well? Help and advice is much appreciated. Regards, Konstantin

[aur-general] TU Application: Thore Bödecker
by Thore Boedecker 24 May '17

24 May '17

Hey folks, My name is Thore Bödecker (a.k.a. foxxx0, or just foxxx depending on nick availability) and finally I have taken the time increase my involvement with Arch Linux. I'm 26 years old now and living in small town called Falkensee, near Berlin in Germany. First of all thanks to Florian Pritz (Bluewind) who is sponsoring my TU application. I heard you like stories so I'm happy to tell you about my way through the Linux world. I have been using Linux in various flavours for a long time, if memory serves correctly it all started with Ubuntu 6.10 somewhere in 2006 while I was still in school. At first it was merely some experimentation and exploring a whole new world but quickly I got really interested. Being a totally addicted gamer at that time it was not a real option for daily usage but I went ahead to build a small fileserver with it and continued to learn new stuff while doing so. After switching back and forth between Ubuntu and Debian for a couple of years and a bit of Gentoo in the middle I ended up renting a server to host some stuff with Debian. In October 2010 my bachelor studies in some sort of technical computer science started at HTW Berlin (for the German speaking people, the course of studies was called "Informationstechnik/Vernetzte Systeme"). This surely had quite some influence and not much later Arch Linux was the OS on my laptop. And oh it was good and enjoyable (even without systemd back then! :P). During my studies I had less and less time for gaming which eventually made me install Arch on my desktop at home. At that point it was already quite clear that there was no alternative for me. Having used Arch for some years on a daily basis made me more and more annoyed with my rented server, that was still running Debian. I got really upset with APT and the "Debian-way" of doing things, having seen how simply and enjoyable they were on Arch Linux. You can pretty much guess what happened, I ended up with Arch on my rented server as well. And a second one. And on my router at home. I even build a custom archiso for home PXE setup, doing which is really pleasing too. Please bear with me, I'll try to wrap things up :) Since October 2013 I am studying computer science at the TU Berlin which has been quite an adventure thus far and if everything works out I'm on track to start my master thesis near the end of this year. As I am also providing hosting services on that server to a small group of customers, the PHP 7 release was quite cumbersome. I had to find a way to provide support for two different PHP versions on my server. Gladly I found a fellow sufferer in Mickaël Thomas (mickael9 in the AUR) and we started working on the php56 AUR package [1]. It was a bit messy at first but in the end it worked out and I've been running php56 together with the upstream Arch Linux php packages for over a year now. I have been a co-maintainer of that package ever since and tried to push the security releases out as quickly as possible. In order to retain as much features of php56 as possible, I created some additional packages for that, which could co-exist with upstream Arch repo packages as well: [2] php56-apcu [3] php56-geoip [4] php56-memcache [5] php56-memcached [6] php56-xdebug So why am I doing this all? I love using Arch Linux, it has been a joyful journey most of the time and I'm looking forward to what might come. But why do I want to be a TU some of you might ask. As I am providing hosting services for customers I am also acting as an email service provider for my customers (and for myself too). Over the last few month there were some nasty spam mails glitching through my spamassassin setup. Naturally I investigated and found that I couldn't really do *anything* while using Arch Linux repo packages only (which I highly prefer for critical infrastructure). I have been in touch with Florian very, very much over the last few years and we shared the same desire: amavisd-new. So last week I did an experiment with a combination of opendkim + opendmarc + amavisd-new. When I discovered that there was no AUR package for amavisd-milter I went ahead and created one. But somehow when I tried to push my package to AUR it said "Permission denied". As it turned out, another fellow Arch Linux user has done the exact same thing and pushed to the AUR a couple of hours before me. So I got in contact with said Person, Karol Babioch (kbabioch) and he was happy to let me take ownership of amavisd-milter [7]. I countinued to experiment and it seemed the opendmarc internal SPF check wasn't really working in the Arch Linux repo version. This made me build opendmarc using libspf2 which did the trick and I've put that together in opendmarc-libspf2 [8]. To make all these parts easily and comfortably available to all Arch Linux users I would like to move these few packages to [community] (if Yardena Cohen a.k.a. yar agrees for amavisd-new). As you guys want to make sure that I am capable of writing high quality PKGBUILDs, Florian pointed out some AUR packages that were orphaned and could use some makeover. So I went ahead and tried my best to get them back into shape, feel free to give feedback: [9] awl [10] davical [11] webalizer You can find all packages that I currently maintain here: [12]. Last but not least I would like to throw in my own open source project, that I created to easy management of my hosting: [13] vhost-api It is currently undergoing a rewrite in order to improve the modularity, expandability and maintenance. Sadly my time for that is a bit scarce right now and it is not urgent as has been working quite well thus far. The packages that I would like to move to [community], if the current maintainers agree, are: - amavisd-new - amavisd-milter - perl-convert-tnef (required for amavisd-new) - perl-convert-uulib (required for amavisd-new) - libspf2 Additionally I would like to take maintainership of opendmarc if that is okay with Sergej, in order to build it against libspf2. Apart from maintaining the mentioned packages I am also quite capable regarding server and service hosting and happy to assist in maintaining and improving the Arch Linux infrastructure. :) The best ways to reach me are either through email: me [at] foxxx0 [dot] de Or over on split^Wfreenode: freenode/foxxx0 Thanks for taking the time to read all this and for considering my application.
