[aur-general] Continuous integration of AUR packages
by Baptiste Jonglez 18 Feb '16

18 Feb '16

Hi, I would like to run some kind of continuous integration of my AUR packages. The goal is to know when a package I maintain fails to build because either: 1/ its dependencies have been updated (new API, new incompatible version of GCC, ...) 2/ for -git packages, changes made upstream broke something (new dependency needed, new build system...) The scripts in devtools [1] look like they should work just fine to automate these kind of builds. After all, they are used to build the official Archlinux packages. However, I found that the build scripts do not really handle dependencies. When building a given package, they just install deps and makedeps from the existing Archlinux repositories. This is an issue when AUR packages depend on each other, because then dependencies cannot be installed from the Archlinux repositories... It *is* possible to manually pass packages to install in the chroot before building, but this is far from convenient. For instance, ring-daemon depends on opendht, so I would need to do this: cd opendht extra-x86_64-build cd ../ring-daemon extra-x86_64-build -- -I ../opendht/opendht-0.5.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz When there are multiple dependencies, it quickly becomes a nightmare to automate (especially because dependencies need to be passed in the right order). Is there any script that automates dependency handling when building? Basically, it would probably need to perform a topological sort, build packages in this order, and push them to a local repository to be able to build later packages. Or did I take the wrong approach entirely? Thanks, Baptiste [1] https://projects.archlinux.org/devtools.git/ PS : Some existing efforts I found about CI with Arch: - https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-dev-public/2014-November/026757.… https://jenkins.arch-ci.org/ No script provided, site appears to be down - http://openbuildservice.org/2012/09/10/arch-linux-support/ Source code is unreadable (enormous Perl scripts, no modularity)

[aur-general] Misuse of AUR (yaourt) comments
by Ralf Mardorf 17 Feb '16

17 Feb '16

Hi, is there a way to stop the misuse of AUR comments? It's ok if somebody is mistaken, this could happen, but if a group continues to insist to spread something wrong, that was explained to be wrong, it becomes a misuse of the comments. I wish to read informative comments and don't want to read one wrong assumption after the other. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/yaourt/ Yaourt is up-to-date: [rocketmouse@archlinux yaourt]$ date;git pull --all && git describe Wed Feb 10 12:18:07 CET 2016 Fetching origin Already up-to-date. 1.7-109-g56818c0 [rocketmouse@archlinux yaourt]$ pacman -Q yaourt;pacman -Qi yaourt|grep Bu;pacman -Qi package-query|grep Bu yaourt 1.7-1 Build Date : Tue 06 Oct 2015 01:26:59 AM CEST Build Date : Tue 02 Feb 2016 03:32:25 PM CET There was only the need to rebuild package-query against a new lib.

[aur-general] aurweb 4.2.0 released
by Lukas Fleischer 15 Feb '16

15 Feb '16

Dear aurweb contributors and users, We are pleased to announce aurweb 4.2.0. The official aurweb setup [1] has already been upgraded. Even though this is only a minor release, the list of new features is longer than usual, which is mostly because we started working on various different requests that have been lying around for a long time. I divided the changes into four categories: * Package Handling: Providers from the official repositories are now recognized and broken dependencies are highlighted in the web interface (note that this particular feature already went live [1] a while ago, even though it was not part of any official release yet). As an alternative to using the web interface, it is possible to change package base keywords via SSH (check `ssh aur(a)aur.archlinux.org help` for details) and we switched to python-srcinfo for parsing package metadata (thanks to Johannes Löthberg for starting this project and for providing aurweb patches). * Notifications: Users are now notified when they are added to (resp. removed from) the co-maintainer list of a repository. You can optionally subscribe to package update notifications from the new notification settings area on the account edit page. * Comments: Package base comments can be pinned (thanks to Mark Weiman for implementing this) and Trusted Users as well as developers can undelete comments that were removed earlier (thanks to Marcel Korpel). * RPC: There was a complete overhaul of the RPC interface (now at v5). The documentation can be found at [2]. For a comprehensive list of changes, please consult the Git log [3]. As usual, bugs should be reported to the aurweb bug tracker [4].

[aur-general] Should TUs tolarate inapropiate behavior in the AUR?
by Pedro A. López-Valencia 14 Feb '16

14 Feb '16

TL;DR: We need to start denouncing and culling sociopathic behavior in the AUR and other parts of the Arch Linux community at large. The thread "Misuse of AUR (yaourt) comments" brings to light in the words of Dave Blair: > Det harassed me with out-of-date notifications too. He seems like a > hustler. Not quite sure why anyone would want to hustle AUR packages, > doesn't really make sense to me. answering among previews emails in the conversation to what Ralf Maddorf said: > Reading Det's comments again, it's possible that I misunderstood those > comments. However, maybe Skunnyk is sick of unflagging the package two > times a day. I doubt that Skunnyk is "inactive", my guess is, that it > makes no sense to unflag the package again and again. To this I barged in and wrote: > No Ralf, you did not misunderstand Det. The guy is a Finnish > sociopath hiding behind pseudonyms, that harasses people to grab > their popular packages in AUR. I gave him the vuze package to shut > him up. If you don't believe me check how many packages he maintains. > In AUR3 he used to have more than 600. AS an aside, William Di Luigi wrote: > These are ad-hominem attacks, I think this thread is being hijacked. And I answered: > > No, I am not hijacking the thread.

(Precisely this new thread) Now, in support to my assertions there are these answers: Ralph Maddorf: > In AUR 4 > https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/?O=0&SeB=m&K=Det&outdated=&SB=n&SO=a&PP=… > > Maintainer Det: 105 packages found. > Submitter Det: 63 packages found. Dave Blair: > I'm glad it's not just me then. > > But why would anyone want to hustle AUR packages? I don't get it. > There are loads of orphans around, and maintaining a package can be a > pain. It's not like you can make a living off it. Now, after this long summary there is but one matter: This kind of behavior has to be stopped in its tracks. I gave a fair fight, part of which David Reisner had news as seen in <https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/42481>, but that was just the start of it. The harassment made me give "Det" the vuze package in a fit of disgust and rage (my fault, I know). Now, what do I know about this "Det" character? He is Finnish, because one of the Gmail email addresses he used to harass and insult me had a Google+ page with all text in Finnish (very immature content, btw). I can't find that page anymore, probably he deleted it, there is also nimetonmaili(a)gmail.com, where he identifies as "Daniel Davis"; he had the gall of gloating it is not his real name. So we can have an idea of what kind of sociopath is this individual. I let this pass for a long time, but I think it is the right time to ask the TUs *and* the devs to start a productive discussion about creating a code of conduct that allows us, the users contributing to the AUR, the forum and the IRC channels, to have a set of rules to be applied if people is disrespect to each other in the context of the community. Case in point, a long while ago, I witnessed some of the IRC channel regulars harass a girl in such a way that I thought the main harasser should be asked if he had ever been kissed. And we wonder why there are no women involved in Arch Linux, at least that I be aware of. I am sure that like Bill and Ted, we all want to be excellent to each other, but unfortunately the times are such that most idolize being violent and abusive to each other. We can't stop the decay of our civilization but we certainly can try to stop it in the Arch community. -- Pedro A. López-Valencia http://about.me/palopezv/ Recession is when a neighbor loses his job.
