[aur-general] OCaml-PCRE
Hello, I created a package for OCaml-PCRE, and have not seen that it already exists on AUR (but in a slightly older version). There is this one: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=52452 And my new one: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=55215 Now there are two packages for the same stuff... Any idea how to handle it? Ciao, Oliver

Send message to maintainer with updated PKGBUILD (and/or orphan request), post it also in comments. If after 2 weeks you won't get any answer, send to aur-general orphan request. For now, I'm deleting your package. -- Bartłomiej Piotrowski Arch Linux Trusted User http://archlinux.org/

"ocaml-pcre" [1] has been updated to the latest version (bobry, you're an awesome maintainer ;) ) Bartłomiej, I think you can indeed delete "pcre-ocaml" [2]. Don't be afraid of the packages that depend on it, they are mostly old and unmaintained (the pcre package had been renamed from "pcre-ocaml" to "ocaml-pcre" a while ago in order to match Arch's OCaml guidelines) [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=52452 [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=55215 Regards, Baptiste

I did marked it as out-dated after I sent the mail here to the list. The maintainer then has updated his package. So he reacted fast.

[...] Yes, the depending packages were also something which I had in mind, why the new package might make sense. A naming scheme for that is a good idea. Ciao, Oliver

Why does in https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=52452 the dependency is ocaml-pcre>=4.5 if the package provides ocaml-pcre? Can that package not be installed, if it not already is installed? Ciao, Oliver

Could you try to be a little more intelligible please ? I just can't understand what you're trying to say.

Why does this package has itself as dependency?

It does not. It requires the packages `ocaml` AND `pcre>=4.5`. These are two separate packages. -- Kwpolska http://kwpolska.tk stop html mail | always bottom-post www.asciiribbon.org | www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html GPG KEY: 5EAAEA16 | Arch Linux x86_64, zsh, mutt, vim. # vim:set textwidth=70:

It doesn't. It depends on ocaml package and pcre>=4.5 package, not on itself.

Ah, ok, I see. So the layout of AUR was misleading. It looked like "ocamlpcre>=4.5" instead of "ocaml" and "pcre>=4.5". Ciao, Oliver

Bartłomiej, I think you can indeed delete "pcre-ocaml" [2]. Don't be afraid of the packages that depend on it, they are mostly old and unmaintained (the pcre package had been renamed from "pcre-ocaml" to "ocaml-pcre" a while ago in order to match Arch's OCaml guidelines)
[1] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=52452 [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=55215 [...]
So, what is your conclusion? After the thread? Should [2] be removed or not? Ciao, Oliver

Thank you. I've removed pcre-ocaml. -- Bartłomiej Piotrowski Arch Linux Trusted User http://archlinux.org/
