[aur-general] namcap tag: hicolor-icon-cache-not-updated
by Abhishek Dasgupta 11 Apr '09

11 Apr '09

According to http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Gnome_package_guidelines#GTK_Icon_cache packages which install icons in /usr/share/icons/hicolor should depend on hicolor-icon-theme and invoke gtk-update-icon-cache. I've made a namcap module [1] which checks for the existence of the /usr/share/icons/hicolor directory and then sees if gtk-update-icon-cache is called in the install file and if hicolor-icon-theme is in the depends array. Otherwise it is reported as an error. http://github.com/abhidg/namcap/blob/d0f27f98d4e91b3fe37fc41395d0ba713f4210… -- Abhishek

[aur-general] uploading binary packages / makepkg.conf files
by Xyne 11 Apr '09

11 Apr '09

Hi, I'll be taking over Nexuiz from Swiergot and I'm working on tidying up and updating the PKGBUILD right now. (related issue: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=69617) Is there any way to build the package on the community upload server? There is a single PKGBUILD for both architectures and I have access to both x86_64 and i686 Arch systems but the binary package is about 600 MB and my ADSL upload speed is pathetic. Uploading 2 * 600 MB will take ages (at least 3.5 hours with full bandwidth saturation, which cripples other networking). I only ask because the TU checklist states "Ask Aaron for access to the x86_64 build machine if you need it (when it comes back online) " which leads me to believe that there might be build machines for both architectures. I haven't found any information about this in the wiki (AURTools Tutorial, TU Guidelines, etc). Sorry if I've missed something obvious. A related question: what's the easiest way to switch between different makepkg.conf files? I currently have CFLAGS specific to my processor in makepkg.conf and I would like to avoid changing the file every time I compile a pkg for uploading. The best solution that I can think of so far is to create a script to swap makepkg.conf files but that feels kludgy. Actually, I'll probably just submit a feature request for a "--config" option. *hopes his questions aren't embarassingly stupid* Regards, Xyne

[aur-general] Out of date orphaned packages in community
by Laurie Clark-Michalek 11 Apr '09

11 Apr '09

Hi, What is the current policy for out date packages in the community repo. Iirc there were ten or so such packages that fall into this zone. Now while this isnt many, there packages have no hope of being updated, unless a kindly TU takes pity on them. Could they please be moved back to the aur where they can be updated and them moved back into community once that has happened and the PKGBUILD is at it's former high quality. Thanks, Laurie
