Hi,

I've just built the new version of kernel26-fbcondecor (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=15603) based on the split package kernel26 from [core]/abs.

It builds and installs fine and it creates every three packages.

The first problem is that makepkg --source doesn't include the .install file into the package.

The second problem is that I can't upload the archive which I then created with tar cfvz kernel26-fbcondecor.tar.gz kernel26-fbcondecor which includes the file kernel26.install. When I try to upload it I get a page with this error message:

"Submit

Use `makepkg --source` to generate source packages for submission! Invalid name: only lowercase letters are allowed."

The package name is definitely correct.

Is this a bug in AUR? If AUR parses the PKGBUILD's variable pkgname then it should parse the variable pkgbase instead if it's a split package because pkgname is an array in split packages.

That's bad because makepkg does and I'd like to build kernel26-fbcondecor on top of kernel26 because my intention is to have the stock kernel with the additional fbcondecor patch.

Is there a way to add support for split packages to AUR?

Grab the source code and write some patches. http://projects.archlinux.org/aur.git/ Make sure to read the HACKING file. If you have any other questions you can ask them on the aur-dev mailing list. Cheers.

If anyone has the courage to do this, I suggest looking into using a PKGBUILD parsing library I wrote[1]. since this would delegate parsing to an external library, future changes like these would be much easier.

Cool! A real parser is terrific, thanks for doing it. -- Jim Pryor profjim@jimpryor.net

Hi,

I guess the package freetype2-static can be removed from AUR.

http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=18319

It's obsolete because freetype2 has the static library included again since a long time. And freetype2-static is out-of-date and orphaned.

Could someone, please, delete the duplicate and orphaned package x11/libtxc_dxtn? http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=15571

It's a duplicate of this unfortunately also no longer maintained package lib/libtxc_dxtn. http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=21519

Why is the older one the duplicate ? The newer one also got the license wrong : http://homepage.hispeed.ch/rscheidegger/dri_experimental/s3tc_index.html the code itself is all BSD licensed Other than that, the two pkgbuilds are a bit different but should do the job.

Btw., the older one has the correct package name with the _ instead of an -.

Heiko

Yes, this and the license issue was the reason to choose the newer one to remove. Thank you.
