[aur-general] Securing the AUR website
by Pierre Schmitz 05 Sep '11

05 Sep '11

Hi TUs, the AUR still handles user logins and sessions in a insecure way that can easily be exploited. The last approach to use https by default was denied a long time ago. But I hope you guys will reconsider this decision. To prevent session hijacking, mtm attacks or whatnot I'd recommend the following: * Redirect all http traffic to https by default * Set session.cookie_secure = 1 in your php.ini * If you use setcookie() make sure to set the secure parameter to true * If you don't require any javascript to access your session data it's also a good idea to set all cookie to httponly (again via php.ini and if you use setcookie() directly) The optional https access as we have now wont work here. Even if you never forget to add the s to http when you login session data is also transferred via http. So once you click a non-https link to the AUR it would be possible for an attacker to hijack your session. Greetings, Pierre -- Pierre Schmitz, https://users.archlinux.de/~pierre

[aur-general] Orphan Request
by Alex Ferrando 03 Sep '11

03 Sep '11

If it there is a chance that thunderbird-firetray-svn [1] could be orphaned from its current maintainer, please do. I ask this because this package is unmaintained since January and the current maintainer doesn't answer to e-mail. With the current version of Thunderbird this package needs to get its PKGBUILD updated every time a new version of thunderbird gets out in order to work. Currently I'm posting comments with modified PKGBUILDS in the AUR package page so people can get it to work. If it gets orphaned I will gladly adopt it.

Sergej, We spent a week rebuilding packages to get tcp_wrappers out of [core] and out of the repos. Now I see that you've moved it back into [community]. What the hell?

I'm db-remove'ing this (again) and putting it back where it belongs. Regards, Dave

As discussed in a previous forgotten thread [1] consider to remove, again firefox-extension-firebug-stable [2], replaced by a simpler firefox-firebug [3], updated to work with latest ff 6.0.1 Votes could be merged. The main reason is a better naming consistency, since firefox-extension-firebug-stable makes little sense and other extensions in [community] follows the same convention (firefox-adblock-plus, firefox-noscript). firefox-extension-firebug-svn [4] can be also, probably, deleted (unmaintained, latest update on 2008) [1] http://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/aur-general/2011-August/015462.html Thomas S Hatch, who preferred to keep the old one, did not answer any more, maybe away [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=44809 [3] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=52050 [4] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=17554 P.S.

As it claims to be "Transitions for cinelerra mostly from akirad and OpenShot", I've uploaded a PKGBUILD cinelerra-swtc [2] containing the akirad transitions. I think cinelerra-transitions should be deleted as it is no more usable. I don't know if it makes sense to merge votes with cinelerra-swtc as it is only a subset of cinelerra-transitions.

qtiplot-newest (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=47810) simply intends to update versions numbers quicker than the repository. I'm not sure what the rules are surrounding this situation. uqm-new (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=51672) has similar intentions. libmowgli-new (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=47375) does the same thing and is currently orphaned. libdrm-newest https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=22973 does the same thing and is actively maintained. libksba-latest (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=50960) did the same thing but "Libksba 1.2 is now in [Extra]. This package is no longer required." and has subsequently been orphaned. tremulous-updated (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=21426) does/did the same thing (the tremelous project hasn't been updated since 2009). libdvdnav-new (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=17355) does/did the same thing (the project hasn't been updated since 2008). telepathy-glib-newest (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=50140) also does this. It is currently orphaned. The submitter says in the comments: "This package will be needed until telepathy-glib on extra is updated to 0.15.1." lyx-newest (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=48936) looks like it does the same thing but has changed a few couple flags in the process. I'll edit the original duplicates list once these packages have been processed by a TU.

Mirrors exist but it only has 2 votes, no maintainer and the PKGBUILD hasn't been updated since 2006. Lastly, what is the 'policy' around old games and putting a link to the actual game data? Some people would class it as abandonware but if it is still sold then surely it isn't abandonware and is just piracy. For example hmm2 (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=33015) doom2 ( http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=33036) and dune2 ( http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=33037) all have a source link to the rar-ed game data at oldgames.ru.

[aur-general] Fwd: aur-general Digest, Vol 82, Issue 24

23 Aug '11

If that is all your questions then this is the wrong place to ask. In fact, it would then be wrong to even ask. It is only correct to read: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Python_Package_Guidelines Don't worry, I'm not _that_ newbie, I was just talking about arch, not IT... Thanks for pointing that document btw, it's (badly) covering one of the questions I had. 1) Why is this "template" not used by most packages I've seen ? 2) What is the main difference between build() & the optional package() function ? (appart the error handling) 3) Why most packages I've seen are splitting build() and package() operations ? (build for .py? building & package for install part) 4) What is the recommended way to remove files from package ? (files that may be required at "setup.py build" step) Thanks for your kind support...

[aur-general] Package merge request: kernel26/linux-ice and kernel26/linux-rt-ice
by Oon-Ee Ng 22 Aug '11

22 Aug '11

Hi, please remove kernel26-ice [1] and merge comments/votes with linux-ice [2]. Also, I would prefer that kernel26-rt-ice [3] be removed and comments/votes merged with linux-rt-ice [4]. The slight problem with that is that nvidia proprietary driver users will not be able to use linux-rt-ice, since the latest editions of the -rt patchset export several symbols as GPL which disallow compilation of the nvidia driver. Re-exporting (or modifying the nvidia license) with a patch is simple but not permitted under the terms of the GPL (as I understand it). In any case, this will not be resolved by the passage of time, so users will just have to use nouveau or patch themselves.

Since the next version of the linux kernel is now released and likely soon to enter [testing] under a new name, I need to use this new feature to change the name of "kernel26-ck" in the AUR to "whatever-tpowa-uses-ck" -- at the risk of exposing my naiveté on the subject, I'll ask: 1) What is the SOP for people to request a namechange? 2) What is critically important to include the PKGBUILD? My best-guess answers: 1) Upload the new PKGNAME as a new package and email a TU with the old/new name or post to this mailing list. 2) Include a replaces statement in the PKGBUILD. E.g. replaces=('old_PKG_name'). Thanks for the thoughts!

[aur-general] AUR upgraded to 1.9.0
by Lukas Fleischer 20 Aug '11

20 Aug '11

I just upgraded the official Arch Linux AUR setup to 1.9.0. For a short list of changes, read [1]. All AUR helper developers are encouraged to check for the latest RPC interface changes and the new package locations (we use segmented upload directories now). We also recommend to use the "URLPath" field from the RPC response instead of hardcoding the path to the PKGBUILD and tarball. For now, there's a rewrite rule to avoid unnecessary breakage of AUR helpers and legacy links. Please report any issues on the AUR bug tracker [2].

good day. two weeks ago southerncross github was deleted due halt of development (see reference in [1]). it was orphaned upon and since then nobody came up with a mirror (even though removal was announced 6 weeks ago). so i guess 'southerncross-git' [2] is redundant for now and can be removed. [1] https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=956445#p956445 [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=48743 also there are some duplicates of 'mcabber-hg' (which is the source-version of mcabber in [community]) which can be deleted: 'mcabber-devel' [3] is orphaned and flagged out of date for 6 months. 'mcabber-crew-hg' [4] is simply a duplicate. 'mcabber-lm-hg' [5] is outdated (sources are 404). i contacted the maintainer (see mail below) and he agreed for removal of both of his packages, too ([4] and [5]).

[aur-general] Dropping PCManFM
by Ángel Velásquez 15 Aug '11

15 Aug '11

Hi, This release of PcmanFM is hard to built (at least on Arch and other distros) .. libfm refuses to build, and pcmanfm cannot build without libfm >= 0.1.16 .. Since LXDE upstream have been doing slow releases (and full of bugs and patches) I am not so sure if we should drop many of LXDE components to AUR, maintaining buggy software is a hell, patching it a lot, and reporting bugs to their upstream isn't nice, and it becomes worst when upstream seems to be dead. If anyone (TU or Dev) would like to maintain pcmanfm or the rest of the components of LXDE, please adopt it go ahead and let me know, but in the contrary case, I think PcmanFM and buggy LXDE software should go to AUR Regards -- Angel Velásquez angvp @ irc.freenode.net Arch Linux Developer / Trusted User Linux Counter: #359909 http://www.angvp.com

Hi! I'm wuyingren, current maintainer of nvidia-fbcondecor aur package.

I will upgrade the original nvidia-fbcondecor as suggested by him on the package comments so nvidia-fbcondecor3 should be removed. http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=51335 -- Wu Ying Ren 死 - "El alma que hablar puede con los ojos también puede besar con la mirada." - Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer

by Simon Bonner 24 Jul '11

Hi, I'm a user of nssbackup and noticed today that the package has been out-of-date for a while. A comment was posted to the maintainer on Feb 7 and the package was flagged out of date on Feb 21, but it seems that no action has been taken since. I'd be happy to maintain it if someone can offer a little help with building the new version. I've tried building both the most recent 0.2 release and the new 0.3.1 release, and neither currently work. Both give the same error message: Traceback (most recent call last): File "setup.py", line 3, in <module> from setuptools import setup, find_packages ImportError: No module named setuptools I've seen that several packages have had similar errors fixed by installing the python2-distribute package, but I have this installed already.

[aur-general] package deletion request
by Auguste Pop 21 Jul '11

21 Jul '11

Hi, I am the current maintainer of osd-lyrics (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=30489) One of the upstream developer commented on the package and requested a rename to osdlyrics, and I have uploaded osdlyrics (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=50877) accordingly to AUR. Although upstream page on googlecode is still osd-lyrics, their github name is osdlyrics. and I have found a git commit explicitly convert all osd-lyrics occurrences into osdlyrics. So, osdlyrics should be the upstream choice for the package's name. Sorry for all the mess this package has created. Best Regards,

Hey, This one (I hope) even has the links correctly defined. songbird: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=7286 * A binary package, wrong naming (there's songbird-bin in the AUR too) songbird-nightly-bin: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=32932 * Maintained, but severly out-of-date * Wrong naming * Replaced by songbird-auto-nightly songbird-auto-nightly: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=39911 * Wrong naming * The contents of this one should replace that of songbird-nightly - this should be removed afterwards songbird-nightly: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=13193 * Actually has the correct naming * Out-of-date * The contents of songbird-auto-nightly should replace this package's So to some up what I think is best: Replace: * songbird-auto-nightly -> songbird-nightly Remove: * songbird * songbird-nightly-bin * songbird-auto-nightly Thanks for your time, Det

[aur-general] virtualbox additions package naming
by Ionut Biru 19 Jul '11

19 Jul '11

I've been criticized a lot because I choose poorly the name for guest additions. Right now the packages are like this: virtualbox-addtitions - contains the iso with guest additions for linux/windows/etc and is installed on host virtualbox-guest-additions - contains guest additions only for an arch linux system as guest. virtualbo-guest-modules - modules only for an arch linux system as guest. Now that virtualbox 4.1 is released I need help choosing this names. -- Ionuț

[aur-general] PCSX2 Plugins folder - suggestion?
by rafael ff1 16 Jul '11

16 Jul '11

Hi all, I'm the maintainer of the package pcsx2-svn[1]. PCSX2 from now on will install files in a different folder than /opt/pcsx2 - I'm still going to adapt the PKGBUILD. Plugins, as I can see in Archlinux Packaging Standards [2], should go to /var/lib/pcsx2/PLUGINNAME.so... However, pcsx2 is a 32 bit package and only works in 64 bit because it uses lib32 packages. In my 64 bit system, I can see that the compilation of pcsx2 [gcc -m32, thanks to gcc-multilib] gives me ELF 32 bit plugins, which makes it a little bit weird to have it inside /var/lib/pcsx2 - which is a system's architecture folder. However, on 32 bit systems, there would be no problem putting plugins in /var/lib/pcsx2. Having that said, where should 32 and 64 bit compilations of PCSX2 put its plugins (talking about /varlib/pcsx2 and /var/lib32/pcsx2)?

[aur-general] large number of deprecated/duplicate flashplugin packages
by Anish Bhatt 14 Jul '11

14 Jul '11

All of these packages are either orphaned/out-of-date/duplicate or deprecated. Could someone delete these please ? http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=47038 http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=47308 http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=49704 http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=50704 http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=44101 Also, adobe at one point had three seperate flash releases available, and had versioning/architecture issues that required three seperate AUR packages. Their last release consolidates all these releases, rendering two of these packages obsolete. Adobe also tends to use adjectives like prerelease/beta/preview randomly, causing further package naming issues. (eg, all -prerelease packages have now become -beta, when there used to be seperate -beta & -prerelease releases earlier). What's a good way to consolidate users of the three packages into the correct one ? -Anish -- As long as the music's loud enough, we won't hear the world falling apart.

[aur-general] The license of flashplugin(-prerelease) requires a download?
by Nimeton maili 14 Jul '11

14 Jul '11

There was some discussion in the flashplugin-prerelease's comment section[1] whether or not the PDF license of Flash Player (that is bigger than the tarball of the plugin itself) would be required to download along with the package. There was a suggestion to just use the post_install to link to the license (which the same guy said was redundant anyway because "We all know what we're installing, and how proprietary it is"). I could not care less for the license either but it's not that hard to just cut out the URL from the source=() section. So here we are. What do you guys think?

Hi, all! Could you help me with PKGBUILD for Perl's PDL module? Currently I'm stuck with makedepends/optdepends. There is a number of dependencies which are optional, but to get PDL work with them as with optional packages in Arch, it should be compiled with them. So I added the in both makedepends and optdepends. Am I right? What are official recommendations for AUR packages in this case? Thank you in advance. -- Anton Leontiev <bunder(a)t-25.ru>
