[aur-general] Flash 10.1 and kernel26 packages
by Det 15 Aug '11

15 Aug '11

Hi all you electronic mail readers, There was some talk some time ago I think concerning the removal of the Flash10.1 packages. I thought I'd bring it back up. Here are the links: flashplugin-10.1: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=47029 lib32-flashplugin10.1: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=49982 Then another thing is those kernel26- packages (all 59 of 'em). Is there some deadline until all the ones that hasn't been updated or converted into linux- alternatives should be removed?: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?K=kernel26&SeB=n&PP=100 Thanks, byyye Det End of electronic guru mail.

[aur-general] Dare I say it: AUR Cleanup Day
by gadget3000 15 Aug '11

15 Aug '11

Hi aur-general, With bug squashing day just around the corner and the recent mass orphaning of a lot of out of date packages, it seems like as good a time as any to start the discussion of the possibility of an AUR Cleanup Day 2011. It was around September last year I believe? Thoughts? Regards, Gadget3000

[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

[aur-general] Request for deletion of nvidia-fbcondecor3 package
by Wu Ying Ren 08 Aug '11

Hi! I'm wuyingren, current maintainer of nvidia-fbcondecor aur package. Today, I uploaded a package named nvidia-fbcondecor3 because I thought cyberpatrol was going to maintain two packages for kernel-fbcondecor (one for 2.6 and another for 3.0 kernel branches). cyberpatrol told me that he is not going to maintain kernel26-fbcondecor package anymore, so nvidia-fbcondecor3 is a duplicated 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

[aur-general] nssbackup 0.2-2
by Simon Bonner 24 Jul '11

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. Thanks for your help, Simon

Hey, There's currently 6 osd-lyrics packages in AUR, 4 of which are redundant. <http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=30489> osd-lyrics: <http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=30489>http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=30489 * Should be left and updated since it has the correct naming osdlyrics: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=29787 * The project's name is "osd-lyrics" - not "osdlyrics" * Maintained, but severly out-of-date osd-lyrics-stable: <http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=50725>http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=50725 * Wrong naming * Sadly, currently the only one up-to-date (decluding the -git package) osd-lyrics-stsable: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=50724 * A typoed upload that the maintainer decided to leave in the AUR osd-lyrics-svn: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=30488 * Upstream moved to git ( http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=29787) 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>

[aur-general] grub-legacy-fedora-git package
by KESHAV P.R. 10 Jul '11

10 Jul '11

Hi all, I have created a PKGBUILD for Fedora's GRUB Legacy fork, grub-legacy-fedora-git https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=47959 . It includes support for GPT boot (not tested) and supports ext4 /boot (tested using the UEFI package). It does not include any of the patches used in core/grub package. It compiles fine with the binutils in Arch repos (unlike the current core/grub and aur/grub-gfx packages). It also supports splashimage (gfx) option. Although I maintain that package, I do not use it. I use grub2-bios-bzr which I maintain). Important info :- 1. The menu config file is /boot/grub/grub.conf, not /boot/grub/menu.lst . 2. The syntax for splashimage is (for example) - splashimage (hd0,0)/boot/grub/image.xpm.gz 3. The package builds fine in x86_64 with gcc-multilib. I have not checked whether it compiles without gcc-multilib (grub2 1.99 compiles without multilib in x86_64). Would be helpful if someone confirms whether it compiles in x86_64 without multilib. I request current core/grub and aur/grub-gfx users to test this package and give your comments/suggestions. Regards. Keshav PS: The equivalent UEFI package is grub-legacy-efi-fedora https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=47979 .

[aur-general] package for the gui of mkvmerge from mkvtoolnix (mmg)
by Uli Armbruster 09 Jul '11

09 Jul '11

Hi guys Since the PKGBUILD of mkvtoolnix now has the additional option --disable-gui, I want to create a package in the AUR which provides this gui, which is called mmg (MkvMergeGui). Right now I have it up here https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=49992 but I'm not sure about some things: - Is it good or bad to only provide mmg (and its manpage, desktop file and icons of course) in the package and add mkvtoolnix as a dependency, because mmg depends on mkvmerge (which is in mkvtoolnix)? You see in the comments, that others want me to make a package, which provides all the mkvtoolnix package contains PLUS mmg => they want a package which is exactly like that one which has been in the repos until recently. In my opinion it makes more sense to make this package depending on mkvtoolnix, for some reasons: - People don't have to compile everything, the build process is faster and packages depending on mkvtoolnix remain dependent on an official package, which is always recommended in my opinion. - It's possible to install the gui for mkvmerge AND / OR the gui for mkvinfo (which I want to upload to the AUR as well later today or tomorrow). If I provide everything in that package, that's not possible, except of course if I create 3 packages, one which includes the one gui, one which includes the other gui and one which includes both guis (the fourth possibility, no gui, is already in the repos). So the way I want to do it makes more sense, right? - I'm struggling with the naming of the package. Right now I called it mkvtoolnix-gtk, because for some reason I thought, that in mkvtoolnix's source there's one gtk gui for mkvmerge and a qt gui for mkvmerge. But that's wrong, there's the gtk gui for mkvmerge and a qt gui for mkvinfo. So right now I'd say, I name mkvmerge's gui mkvmerge-gui or mmg and mkvinfo's gui mkvinfo-gui or whatever the executable is called. I think that makes more sense. Do you agree? So what I'm asking is, what would you recommend? I'd like to make the package(s) as good as possible for all Arch users, not just for me. So if my approach makes no sense to you guys, I'll bow to the majority and change it (or let someone else take care of it ;D ) Cheers Army

[aur-general] [RFC] Inclusion of CPANPLUS in community
by Florian Pritz 03 Jul '11

03 Jul '11

Hi, I'd like to move perl-cpanplus and perl-cpanplus-dist-arch to community so users can install software from cpan easily without bypassing pacman. I'm not sure whether this is a problem or not because cpanplus automates the installation of software from a possibly untrusted source. It uses the metadata from CPAN to generate a PKGBUILD and runs makepkg -i on that. More information about perl-cpanplus-dist-arch can be found here: https://github.com/juster/perl-cpanplus-dist-arch/blob/master/README -- Florian Pritz

[aur-general] VCS Packaging Guidelines
by Mark Foxwell 02 Jul '11

02 Jul '11

Hi, What is the _official_ opinion on when to bump pkgver on VCS packages? I maintain offlineimap-git [1] (and a few other VCS packages) in AUR and generally bump the pkgver on each commit and may add to the comments about major changes. Other maintainers seem to take the approach to not bump the pkgver unless any changes to the build process are needed. I think that any _official_ view (even if it's 'either way is fine') should be added to the VCS PKGBUILD Guidelines wiki page [2]. Many Thanks, Mark [1] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=24202 [2] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_CVS_%26_SVN_PKGBUILD_guidelines

[aur-general] Package Guidelines: Naming of Apache mods
by Phillip Smith 30 Jun '11

30 Jun '11

Hi all, My Google-fu has turned up nothing on this this. Is there a preferred standard for naming packages of Apache mods? I see everything in [extra] is just "mod_name" but some AUR packages are "apache-mod_name" Personally I prefer the "apache-mod_name" form, but I take the format of [extra] to be the official word? It doesn't seem to have been discussed before (as best I can find in my searching) so thought I would raise it. I have packages in AUR using both formats and I want to bring them in line with "the right way", whichever that is ;) Cheers, ~p

[aur-general] pyopengl packages
by Michael Schubert 29 Jun '11

29 Jun '11

Dear TUs, Currently, there are 3 pyopengl packages in community and AUR: [1] python-opengl (python2): http://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/any/python-opengl/ [2] python-pyopengl (python3): http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=7798 [3] python3-pyopengl (python3): http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=45322 I just adopted and updated python-pyopengl without realizing that there is a python3 version already in AUR. As the package itself is called "OpenGL", I think that the correct name in community would be python2-opengl and the one in AUR python-opengl (according to the naming standards). Either way, there are now 2 packages for python(3)-opengl in AUR, please delete whatever you think is the better choice. Thank you. Michael

[aur-general] Provide update in AUR to extra package as a dependency of my package?

Hi, I'm the maintainer of the 4store package: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=33807 It's been blocked from being upgraded for a while now by a lack up upgrades to the rasqal package in extra. Would it be permissible to provided an updated rasqal version on AUR for people who want to run a recent version of 4store? Another of its dependencies, raptor, which is maintained in step with rasqal, was updated from raptor1 to raptor2 a while ago, and both are installed concurrently, but there's no similar update for rasqal. -Leif Warner

It can easily be applied to any WM for testing as well. They are both exactly the same package. I believe the awmcc package was created by mistake (wrong name) Thanks! -- Evan LeCompte

[aur-general] Naming of aegisub packages
by cantabile 26 Jun '11

Hello, We have four packages: aegisub [1] - this pulls from svn, from the 2.1.9 branch (2.1.9 will be the next stable version) aegisub-stable [2] - this compiles the stable version from the released tarball - 2.1.8 at the moment, which is quite old and probably doesn't build anymore due to changes in ffmpeg aegisub-bin [3] - this repackages the binary from upstream, stable version aegisub-svn [4] - this builds from svn, from trunk (trunk should become version 3.0, when it's ready) [1] should be renamed 'aegisub-next-svn' or something like that, and [2] should be renamed simply 'aegisub' Don't you agree? :) Ccing the maintainer of [1]. Sidenote: I'll probably update [2] once 2.1.9 is released (should be soon enough).

On June 5th, I contacted the maintainers ghost1227(a)archlinux.us and mark(a)nirv.net, but neither one responded to my message. Please orphan the package so that I can adopt it. Take care, Peter

[aur-general] Orphan request for mmv
by Cédric Girard 14 Jun '11

14 Jun '11

Hi, mmv [1] PKGBUILD is needing some improvements. It was first requested on April 2010 with a comment. I've sent the maintainer an e-mail on the 19th of May 2011 with an updated PKGBUILD [2]. I'm still waiting for an answer. Maybe time has come for this package to find a new maintainer... Please orphan this package in order for me to take over. Thanks, [1] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=6636 [2] https://github.com/X-dark/ArchLinux/blob/master/pkgbuild/mmv/PKGBUILD -- Cédric Girard

[aur-general] Deletion Request - kdesudo-kde4
by George Brooke 14 Jun '11

14 Jun '11

Hi, Could the kdesudo-kde4 [1] package be deleted as there is already a kdesudo [2] package at the same (current) version. [1]https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=17717 [2]https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=14357 Thanks George p.s. Incase anyone's wondering, it was me that adopted and updated (badly) the kdesudo-kde4 package today. I'm not sure how I failed to notice the current kdesudo package, not really the best way to introduce myself to everyone. . .

[aur-general] Putting android development packages into [community]
by Sven-Hendrik Haase 09 Jun '11

09 Jun '11

Hi, I'm playing with the idea of pulling the android packages into [community]. They seem to be in strong demand but so far their maintenance track in AUR has been fairly inconsistent. I'd like opinions on this because they have a rather large amount of votes. There have been license concerns about this endeavor but I think they are unfounded as all Android stuff (not including externals) is Apache license and thus ok to redistribute. Also, I'd like to know whether anybody thinks that instead of just repackaging the binaries, building from source would be preferable. -- Sven-Hendrik
