[aur-general] Orphans [extra] repository cleanup
by Andrea Scarpino 13 May '11

13 May '11

Hi DEVs/TUs, I'm again on the cleanup of orphans packages in the [extra] repository; this time with a small list[1]. The list is based on orphans packages needed by none. I don't see very important packages there, but chromium, krusader, mc and proftpd which maybe should be kept in [extra]; though they will probably find their maintainers in [community]. As the last time (more than 7 months ago), please cross out the packages you want to keep in [extra]. Adoption is not required, but it would be nice. If you are a TU you can ask to maintain a package writing its name to the "Candidate to [community]" list[2]. I invite all you maintainers to check the orphans packages on the Arch website, many are maintained packages where the maintainer simply forgot to adopt it. Thanks [1] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DeveloperWiki:Repo_Cleanup [2] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DeveloperWiki:Repo_Cleanup#Candidate_t… -- Andrea

[aur-general] Request for removal (blok-git)
by Harley Laue 12 May '11

12 May '11

blok-git has been broken for some time upstream and seems unlikely to change. At the time it was sort of a proof-of-concept and now it's just source rotting. Because of this, blok-git can/should be removed. Thanks.

Orphaning that should have been a mistake since archboot installer uses gdisk extensively. I maintain gptfdisk-git http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=39338 . - Keshav

[aur-general] Request for assistance with a PKGBUILD
by Joel Heaton 11 May '11

11 May '11

Hello fellow AUR maintainers, I've come to ask for some of your wisdom on a particular subject because, quite frankly, I'm completely unsure of how to move forward. I'm attempting to put together a PKGBUILD for a library (tsdl) but running in to trouble with the installation part. I can run make no problem, everything proceeds as expected, however I receive a permission error when running make install. The output is shown below at the point which it fails. http://pastebin.com/0xVvf1kN Obviously this is going to fail unless makepkg -s is run as root, which is highlighted as not being a good idea, so I'm basically looking at how I could get around this, if at all. I'll admit that I'm still getting to grips with this, having only put together two PKGBUILDs from scratch before now, so I would appreciate any pointers that could guide me in the right direction. Below are links to the PKGBUILD I'm working on, as well as the Makefile for the library I want to build respectively. I can see that there are a bunch of operations going on in there which will result in more permission denied errors, but if I'm thinking along the right lines, then these could be installed using install -D -mXXX but again, I'm quite inexperienced so I don't know if that is entirely true. http://pastebin.com/xzVRt79d http://pastebin.com/sTN1j80f Please also feel free to criticise the PKGBUILD in general; I've been following what I've seen by other maintainers so far and trying to stick to the guidelines laid out in the Wiki pages, so hopefully it's all fine but if I have missed anything or done something stupid, I'd like to know. Thanks in advance for any help. Kind regards, Joel.

[aur-general] Package deletion tomcat-fhs
by Guillaume ALAUX 10 May '11

10 May '11

Hello, Package "tomcat-fhs" [0] from AUR is an out-of-date duplicate of [1] with no particular improvement (along with strange naming). I would thus vote for deletion of "tomcat-fhs" [0] even though it seems it was submitted first. [0] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=14324 [1] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=19452 -- Guillaume
