[aur-general] Inactivity
by Lukáš Jirkovský 04 Mar '11

04 Mar '11

Hello everyone! I just want to let you know that I'll be partially inactive for some time now. Seems like my motherboard in my Arch box is breaking down (I can't turn off my computer and worse – it seems to generate lots of SATA errors and it even broke my FS once) so I'll not be able to (re)build my packages until I get a replacement. I'll still be available via email though. Have a nice day, Lukas

Hi all, the following two packages seem to be duplicates: * file-browser-applet [1] * gnome-menu-file-browser-applet [2] The maintainer of the second package considered to remove that package in the comment section. Regards, Simon [1] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=16452 [2] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=34296

[aur-general] PKGBUILD URL has changed
by Justin Davis 27 Feb '11

27 Feb '11

I just wanted to let AUR helper authors (or other AUR enthusiasts) know that the PKGBUILD URL has changed on the AUR. All AUR helpers should update your code. I knew the AUR was updated recently but I did not realize that the URLs were changed for PKGBUILDs until I looked carefully at the AUR and the new patches. I found out earlier today and wanted to help others who might wonder why their AUR software slowly starts to break. The old scheme was: /packages/<name>/<name>/PKGBUILD The new scheme is: /packages/<name>/PKGBUILD Fun facts: Packages that were uploaded before the change still have an extracted package directory (/packages/<name>/<name>). The old packages also have a copy of their PKGBUILD in the new location.This means they have a PKGBUILD in both locations. Once a package is uploaded the old package directory is deleted so only one PKGBUILD remains (/packages/<name>/PKBUILD). So all packages uploaded after the change use the new PKGBUILD URLs. -juster

I will start a TODO list to keep track of packages that require moved with ncurses. If you do any rebuilds, please add the package to the list. Allan

I tried building a few things in its dependency chain too but that did not help. Added to the TODO list for the maintainer to look into. Allan
