Delete package : oracle 11gR1-1 ( https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=23730&O=&L=&C=&K=&SB=&SO=&PP=&do_Orphans=&SeB= )
Because, it's orphan, it's out-of-date, source link is broken (==cannot be built).
Well, I must have deleted the source file in a recent cleanup. Sources should not be hosted on the AUR. Otherwise let whoever the new maintainer may be fix the PKGBUILD to retrieve sources remotely.
Ok my bad. I don't see it was a local link...
By trying to update this package i discovered that we need an oracle account and accept a license to be able to download the Zip files needed to installation. I don't believe this is simply scriptable in a PKGBUILD. So, we can: 1 - Delete the package 2 - Update the package and asking to user which want to build package to manually download zip files from oracle.com
What would you prefer?
I would prefer the latter.
There is a similar case with packages like steinberg-vst [1]. The package just assumes the source are already downloaded in the build directory as explained in comment. [1] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=16748 -- Cédric Girard
