[aur-general] scm naming conventions
by Ian Denhardt 02 Jun '09

02 Jun '09

Hello everyone, This is my first time posting to this list, though I've been lurking for a while. I have a thought, and forgive me if this would be better addressed on a different mailing list; I wasn't quite sure which to use, and I was already subscribed to this one so I chose it. right now for packages for development versions we use *-svn if the project uses svn, *-cvs if they use cvs, *-git if they use git, etc. I feel a better solution would be to use a single suffix for all development versions, say *-scm (source code management). This is already done in Exherbo. This would be advantageous because we wouldn't have to change the package name on the occasion that upstream switches tools, and it would make things more clear from a user perspective; right now if there are two scm packages in aur, you might have to do some digging to figure out which is current (though granted this isn't usually very difficult.) Of course, a policy change like this would require changing the names of a lot of packages in the short term. I'm curious to hear other people's thoughts on this. -Ian

Hi, As part of my attempt to rationalise these packages in the AUR, and as described in the explanation / warning notices on the packages' pages, could these two packages please be deleted? latex-suite http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=6091 unmaintained latex-suite-svn http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=25907 maintained by me They are superseded by vim-latexsuite and vim-latexsuite-svn respectively.

[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
