[aur-general] Thoughts on creating texlive-bin-dev
by Marcel Korpel 17 Feb '15

17 Feb '15

Hi all, In order to provide even more bleeding-edge binaries of texlive-bin I am thinking about creating a texlive-bin-dev package, especially to provide bugfixes like [1] and [2]. However, how to download the source code? One way would be to checkout the full SVN repository (using default pacman svn checkout), but that takes up a lot of space and bandwidth (initially). Of course, if I choose this way, I'd call the package texlive-bin-svn. Another way would be to use rsync to copy only the most recent version c.q. keep the most recent version up-to-date. This is also recommended by [3]. If I choose this way, I'll do an rsync in prepare(). This has the drawback that the revision number cannot be determined in pkgver(), so $pkgver is never updated. This seems to be a major drawback to me. What are your thoughts on this? Or should I simply abandon this project, build binaries myself and manually replaces those in /usr/bin, like I just did to test said fixes? Regards, Marcel [1] https://www.tug.org/svn/texlive?view=revision&revision=36287 [2] https://www.tug.org/svn/texlive?view=revision&revision=36291 [3] https://www.tug.org/texlive/build.html

[aur-general] How do you deal with pkgver() & version controlled PKGBUILDs?
by Jashandeep Sohi 13 Feb '15

13 Feb '15

Hi, I'm using git to version control my PKGBUILDs. Most of them build stable versions of packages using a static pkgver; however, some of them build unstable versions (from git, hg, etc.), and make use of the pkgver() function to compute a pkgver on build time. The problem that I'm having is that whenever I build one of the unstable packages, the value of pkgver in the PKGBUILD get updated by pkgver(), which causes Git to think that the file has changed. If I ever want to commit changes to the PKGBUILD, I first have to change pkgver back to what it was to prevent spurious changes to pkgver to committed as well. I know I'm being pedantic, but if someone has already thought of a solution/fix, that would appreciated. Thanks, Jashandeep Sohi

[aur-general] PKGBUILD Critique
by stef204 11 Feb '15

11 Feb '15

Hi fellow archers, Would you be so kind as to provide a critique of my PKGBUILD? This is only my third package so bear with me, please. <http://codepad.org/Az4Hk78W> Notes: 1)I have emailed current owner/maintainer but no response yet; hopefully he will reply soon. If not will try again and if still no joy, will follow procedure to become new owner/maintainer, if possible. Or just post it under "comments" with a link to my PKGBUILD, perhaps? 2) You can see I have some questions/doubts re. line 26/27 (original PKGBUILD has 26, I changed it to 27, out of habit I guess. I don't think it's an important point though as I guess one should clean up the various dirs left after installing an AUR package, in any event, though. Comments?) 3) Line 37; I tried that and it didn't seem to work for me (not sure why. Comments?) It gives me errors like: warning: directory permissions differ on /home/myusername/ filesystem: 700 package: 755 warning: directory ownership differs on /home/myusername/ filesystem: 1000:100 package: 0:0 (I have a user umask of 075). When I just use: make install, it installs without errors. Thanks!
