by Cedric Staniewski 21 Jun '10

Hello everyone, I noticed that there are several duplicates of extra packages in the AUR or at least they share the same name. Perhaps a TU want to clean them up. allegro apr-util aspell-nl asymptote autopano-sift-c bochs darcs davfs2 fixesproto haskell-extensible-exceptions haskell-hashed-storage haskell-haskeline haskell-mmap haskell-terminfo jackbeat kdeutils-kcalc koffice lensfun lha libedit libical liblqr libmp3splt liboil libpst libticonv libytnef libzrtpcpp link-grammar lxsplit mp3wrap neon opencv oxine pal partitionmanager perl-bit-vector perl-carp-clan perl-dbd-sqlite perl-digest-sha1 perl-test-pod perl-timedate qtscriptgenerator rdesktop taglib-extras truecrypt tsocks watchdog words xf86-video-geode Regards, Cedric

[aur-general] Out-of-date community packages
by Eric Bélanger 17 Nov '09

17 Nov '09

Hi TU, Since the community repo has been moved to the main web site, you are no longer receiving out-of-date notifications as they are being listed as orphans. We are currently working on finishing the setup, accounts, etc. Meanwhile, here's a list of recently flagged packages (there might be core/extra packages as I didn't bothered filtering the list): [acetoneiso2] [fceux] [listen] [qemu] [aircrack-ng] [gnote] [netbeans] [rubyripper] [pinentry] [virtualbox-additions] [virtualbox-modules] [virtualbox-ose] [virtualbox-ose-additions] [virtualbox-ose-additions-modules] [awesome] [imagemagick] [xtrans] [rtorrent] [libtorrent] [kvpnc] [nilfs] [nilfs-utils] [openttd] [vnstat] [efreet-svn] [eina-svn] [ecore-svn] [embryo-svn] [edje-svn] [e_dbus-svn] [e-svn] [python-sphinx] [libotf] [monit] Eric

looking through the community repos seems that aurtools would be completely obsolete, did I miss something or is it time to remove it form community?

[aur-general] Chromium builds and runs on Pentium-m, but not on Desktop (Athlon 2800+)
by Bernard Mentink 30 Aug '09

30 Aug '09

I have successfully compiled/installed and run the chromium-continuous from AUR repository on my pentium-m based laptop. However, when doing a similar install on my desktop which has Athlon 2800+ CPU the build is fine, but I get an error on running it, the error is: Code: $ chromium-browser [7215:7215:9111919603:ERROR:/b/slave/chromium-rel-linux/build/src/chrome/browser/google_update_settings_posix.cc(73)] Not implemented reached in static bool GoogleUpdateSettings::GetLanguage(std::wstring*) /usr/bin/chromium-browser: line 4: 7215 Illegal instruction ./chrome --enable-plugins "$@" I have even tried installing the package built on the laptop (i.e the one that works) and running on the desktop, but still the same error. Anyone have a clue what is going on? I can't tell from the error .. Thanks, Bernie

[aur-general] AUR package updating enhancements
by Nélson «VuDu» Cunha 27 Aug '09

27 Aug '09

Hello, following the weird titled "AUR webpage" thread ( http://www.archlinux.org/pipermail/aur-general/2009-July/thread.html#5602 ) I think the way maintainers handle their packages could have some things simplified. I agree that simple updates to PKGBUILDs should be easier. I've seen many packages with typos in PKGBUILDs, showing that the extra workload of having to archive the files and upload them doesn't necessary make users test things before uploading. That's all up to the maintainer's will to do things right. I think having a simple syntax highlighted code editor to quick edit the PKGBUILD or at least a way to simply update the PKGBUILD without having to archive and upload everything every time would be a great help. Some alternatives google gave me, dunno if there are any better: http://alexgorbatchev.com/wiki/SyntaxHighlighter http://codepress.sourceforge.net/ http://marijn.haverbeke.nl/codemirror/ http://helene.muze.nl/ What do you think?

[aur-general] help requested
by Nathan McBride 27 Aug '09

27 Aug '09

Hey guys, I went to submit my first package, tigervnc-1.0.0-1 and that went well. Then I realized that I forgot to add my name to the top of the PKGBUILD file... Yea I know... So I tried to update the package and couldn't get that to work. (Later finding out that it was because I had the tar.gz file included in my upload and I guess my connection was timing out on a 2.7MB file. Anywho, so I abandoned it thinking if the uploader abandoned it it would delete it, which is not the case. Now when I tried to upload my updated package, it said I no longer have permission to update this package because it is an orphan. My aur name is nmcbride, could someone give me a hand getting the package back so I can upload my update? :D Thanks, Nate

[aur-general] Please delete AUR package "protobuf2"
by Sven-Hendrik Haase 26 Aug '09

26 Aug '09

Hey there, I'm requesting that AUR package "protobuf2" be deleted because it is an updated version of "protobuf" in [community] with no added benefit. On a related note, the "protobuf" [community] package is without a maintainer, yet it would be very easy to maintain and update, any takers? -- Sven-Hendrik
