[aur-general] Filenames with "_" in it
by Thomas Bohn 01 Jun '09

01 Jun '09

I have one package[1] in AUR which has a "_" in the original file name. When I put source=(http://downloads.sourceforge.net/bibcursed/$pkgname_$pkgver.tgz) in the PKGBUILD, it won't work. When I put an \ before the _ it works but on the AUR page this \ will also show up and break the link to the original file. Thomas

[aur-general] Define variable for psimedia
by Vladimir V Kutyavin 01 Jun '09

01 Jun '09

I want to add PKGBUILD psimedia in AUR, but to work is required to define a variable PSI_MEDIA_PLUGIN. How best to do this? I can just write about the need to define a variable in ~ /.bashrc or to include in the PKGBUILD the line: echo 'PSI_MEDIA_PLUGIN=/usr/lib/psi/libgstprovider.so' >> /etc/environment

I adopted linkage to update the version since it was outdated. i believe that it is requesting libtorrent-rasterbar but it is saying libtorrent>=0.13 is needed but there is no such version i searched for libtorrent that is atleast 0.13 and it points to rasterbar's version and i have it installed for sure but it saying i still need libtorrent>=0.13 what do i do. when i search for the file needed it points to http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=79942&package_id=8148… and still get the error

[aur-general] A letter of resignation as a TU
by Mikko Seppälä 31 May '09

31 May '09

Oh, the time has come for young one to enter the world and feel the first had experience of cruelty, blood and peasoup. To take on arms and abandon all hope on having personal feelings or time to infiltrate the community cvs. Nonexisting datalinks preventing duties to be performed. No keyboard to write on but the paper and wood. Last of the original comm64 porters dying. Time to leave the duties to be performed by wonder who? TIME TO RESIGN! Or in short: I'm off to army in about a month, so I'm resigning unless you want to mark me as inactive for over a year :p wonder has agreed to take over lib32 so no pkgs to be adopted (unless someone wants bin32-wine from unsupported, trying to get maintainer for it). Objections? yes? no? Ok, thats it. Have a smooth ride. - Neverth PS. This is a resend, first one is stuck because I sent it from my email alias. I seriously thought about removing the first part but blah.

[aur-general] changing the status of the maintainer field
by Abhishek Dasgupta 30 May '09

30 May '09

Many packages in Arch don't have Maintainer tags in their PKGBUILDs (around 345 last time I checked). Also quite a few the PKGBUILDs are not updated by the current maintainer. It is better to do away with maintainer tags altogether, since their functionality can be obtained from the web interface itself. Another alternative which I prefer (and which was discussed a while back) is to elevate the maintainer tag to a proper *required* tag which would be parsed by the Django frontend to update the maintainer list. -- Abhishek
