[aur-general] [AUR] Orphan all old packages flagged as out-of-date
by Andrea Scarpino 08 Jun '11

08 Jun '11

Hi TUs, I'd like to orphan all packages in AUR flagged as out-of-date before February 2011 (for example, I think 3 months are enough). What do you think about? Maybe Loui/Lukas can provide a list? Maintainers will not get a notification about that (FS#15412), but I guess they doesn't care anymore about their packages. Cheers -- Andrea

[aur-general] Orphan request for burg packages
by fsck daemon 07 Jun '11

07 Jun '11

The maintainer of the burg collection of packages, cruznick, has been MIA for two months. He has not responded to comments in AUR or the BBS. I sent him an email one month ago to the email listed on AUR (same as on BBS) with no reply. The package burg-bzr was flagged out of date on 23 of April. Several PKGBUILDs can not be built and require a (simple) fix. Please orphan the following packages. buc burg-bzr burg-emu burg-manager burg-themes Thanks.

[aur-general] Use multilib-devel in makedepends ?
by rafael ff1 07 Jun '11

07 Jun '11

Hi there, I always used "gcc-multilib" as makedepends for lib32 packages to avoid users that hadn't [multilib] repo turned on, but than I saw this "multilib-devel" group. It has gcc, glibc and libtool lib32 and multilib packages. Considering that "base-devel" group is assumed to be installed [1], lib32 packages should have "multilib-devel" group requested or just assumed as well ? P.s.: Not sure if this question should be in this list or multilib's. In case of multilib's, let me know. [1] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_Build_System#Details Thanks, Rafael

[aur-general] Proposal to disown all of x-demon's packages.
by Thomas Dziedzic 07 Jun '11

07 Jun '11

Hi, I would like to get some opinions on whether I should disown all of x-demon's packages in the aur. His last package update was back in december 2010 and a lot of his packages are outdated. I sent an email explaining to him that he should start maintaining his packages, and I gave him 2 weeks to send me an email or start maintaining his packages. It has been 2 weeks and he hasn't responded. Since it looks like he has not been active for 6 months, I would like for others to be able to take care of his packages. xdemon's packages: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?O=0&K=x-demon&do_Search=Go&detail=1&C… xdemon's packages copied to gist for reference in case of complete disownage: https://gist.github.com/1012141

[aur-general] [arch-general] Salt update to 0.8.8
by Thomas S Hatch 01 Jun '11

01 Jun '11

I have not mentioned this here for a while, but I am a big fan of seeing what the Arch community is developing, and in the past I have gotten some real interest from the Arch community on this front. I just released Salt 0.8.8, salt is an application used for very fast remote management of systems via zeromq. Salt allows you to manage large groups of servers from a master server with simple commands, and salt also contains functionality for configuration management. Salt is meant to fill the roles of applications like puppet, mcollective, func, cgengine, fabric, Capistrano and many others. The release announcement is here: http://red45.wordpress.com/2011/05/30/salt-0-8-8/ Arch package is here: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=47512 Video explaining how to use Salt and what it is in detail is here: http://blip.tv/thomas-s-hatch/salt-0-8-7-presentation-5180182 And the (under heavy development) website and docs are here: http://thatch45.github.com/salt-www/ Salt is developed on Arch, but is made to run on any Linux/BSD Let me know what you all think! -Thomas S Hatch

[aur-general] changing a PKG's name and retaining votes/comments

I maintain the kernel26-ck in the AUR. Once the devs decide on a new name for the kernel package based on the upcoming "3.0" release, either "linux" or "kernel" or "kernel30" or whatever, is it possible to change the name of my "kernel26-ck" PKG and retain all of the comments/votes it has under the current name?

[aur-general] Solution for lib32-allegro and lib32-allegro5 ?
by rafael ff1 30 May '11

30 May '11

Hi all! I currently maintain lib32-allegro [1] in its version 5.0. However, I wanted to change its version to 4 (anything less than version5) and add a lib32-allegro5 (anything >=5). The idea is to follow packages allegro [2] and allegro5 [3]. I found a variable "epoch"[4], which if not set in PKGBUILD is equal 0. I could set "epoch=1" to force downgrade to lib32-allegro during the system update and upload to AUR lib32-allegro5 for who wants it. What do you think about this procedure? Any other suggestions? Thanks in advance! -- Rafael [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=20892 [2] http://www.archlinux.org/packages/?sort=&q=allegro&maintainer=&last_update=… [3] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=23012 [4] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PKGBUILD#epoch

[aur-general] udev rule files in /etc/udev/rules.d, usage of SYSFS

[aur-general] GDeskCal
by pauline martin 25 May '11

25 May '11

I don't know if this project has been discontinued or not, but it is flagged as out of date and I have spent a good amount of time trying to find somewhere to download the most recent release. I was not able to find a link anwhere to download the source from the website: http://customize.org/gDeskCal . If I could be pointed in the right direction for the source code of this project if it is still alive that would be wonderful. It looks like a wonderful application and at least two other packages in the AUR depend upon it so I would love to get it updated or if it is a dead project to get it removed from the AUR. The package is in the AUR as gdeskcal and the two packages that I found that depend on it are: gdeskcal-skins and gdeskcal-skin-simple. Of the three only one is being currently maintained. I would be willing to maintain the other two if they are not a dead project. That one maintained project is using sources from a different site than the main project is hosted on. The maintainer is Syntheed. If I am reading the source right his sources are from freebsd, so it is not of any help locating the original program if it is still in development.

As this application provides an unrar functionnality, does it make sense to add a "provides=('unrar')" field in the PKGBUILD? The Unarchiver is not a drop-in replacement for the "unrar" command. The binary are not the same and the syntax is different. -- Cédric Girard

[aur-general] php52 package dropped from [community]

Hi all, I've gone ahead and removed the package that provided PHP 5.2. Upstream dropped support for it at the beginning of the current year, so I also didn't upload it to the AUR. If anyone was still on PHP 5.2, please upgrade to 5.3 using the packages in [extra]. :) Cheers.

[aur-general] Orphaned Banshee in Extra Repository Outdated

[aur-general] optional dependencies that require explicit installation
by Michael Schubert 18 May '11

18 May '11

Hi, I'm trying to make a PKGBUILD for a scientific library (libsbml). It has bindings for C/C++ that are installed by default and for a variety of other languages on demand. I'm not quite sure about the proper way to handle this: - for a language binding to be built, the package (e.g. python, perl, ruby, etc.) need to be installed and they need to be enabled in cmake using the -DWITH option - if a language binding is build, I need to set the path as well (because it is somewhere nonstandard by default) So, in order for this to work: - how should I check if a package is installed? I found no if-available option in the cmake scripts; pacman -Q would be an option (the best one?), or checking for the existance of a specific file (probably not so good) - if I'd like to separate build() and package() routines, is there a way of getting around adding each binding as a variable in global scope?- that does not seem like an optimal solution given the other packaging standards Thank you for any advice. Michael

[aur-general] Deletion request for pcsx2-bin and pcsx2-svn-bin
by rafael ff1 17 May '11

PCSX2 Dev Team provides pcsx2 in two ways: binary tarball and svn source code. I'd like to organize things up about this emulator in AUR: my plan is to have "pcsx2" [1] as binary package and "pcsx2-svn" [2] getting from source code. Considering that the maintainer of pcsx2-bin [3] does not update neither reply emails for more than a week and that pcsx2-svn-bin [4] is maintained by me and it's equal to pcsx2-bin, my request is to delete these two packages. Thanks in advance, Rafael (username: josephgbr) Links: [1] pcsx2 https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=10268 [2] pcsx2-svn https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=21899 [3] pcsx2-bin https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=33449 [4] pcsx2-svn-bin https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=31863

[aur-general] rodent, first upload
by Iñigo Álvarez 16 May '11

I did a new PKGBUILD of the rodent file manager. I really think, after discovering it in gentoo, it is a must be in arch. It consist in a very lightweight, but complete file manager, aimed to expert users which stick to the console. It permets using console commands, rigt-click diff, iso mounting and creating, and much more... I will apreciate feedback, i had it compiled in my system prior to doing the package, so i dont know how it will work installed from scratch from aur. Thank you in advance, and hope you enjoy it

This is my first attempt at creating a package. It's for a TTF font. I know it works, at least on my machine. I'd appreciate any feedback on whether I've put everything together correctly. Specifically, I'm unsure about how to handle the license; this font comes with a custom "freeware EULA" which is available on the original website and is included in the ZIP file; what would be the most correct way to specify the license in the PKGBUILD file? PKGBUILD and install file are attached. Thank you -- Ian Brunton iandbrunton(a)gmail.com http://laygeek.wordpress.com

[aur-general] sanity check / review my first AUR package
by Taylor Venable 13 May '11

13 May '11

Hi everybody, I just started using Arch a few weeks ago, and I've been mightily impressed. I want to help out, so I started looking in the AUR for things to do. I noticed that there doesn't seem to be a package for the devel version of SWI-Prolog. The stable release is in [community], and there are git snapshots in AUR, but they are old and unowned. So I created a package for the development release. The devel release is distinct from a git snapshot, which is why I created a separate package, rather than updating the git snapshot one. Since there are development releases, I don't personally find git snapshots to be that useful. I wanted to make sure I'm doing this correctly, so if you have the time to take a look for me I'd appreciate it. Any guidance will be welcomed. I basically copied the [community] package's PKGBUILD and modified the necessary properties. I only have x86_64 machines, so I've not checked i686, but the resulting binary package does work for me. Since I wanted to get a little review before submitting it, the package can be found on my website: http://metasyntax.net/swi-prolog-devel-5.11.20-1.src.tar.gz Thanks, -- Taylor C. Venable http://metasyntax.net/

[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 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] Please orphan python-vpython

Hi, the package python-vpython (which moved from extra) is terribly outdated. Currently at 5.32 and broken, while 5.71 is out for quite some time. The package wasn't updated since 13'th Nov 2010 (exactly at time when it moved from extra, it was never updated even a bit), and it is sole package of this maintainer. Multiple people tried to contact the maintainer, including me (trough comments and email) and we had no luck. New, working versions of packages are posted in comments, but not uploaded. In this case I'd like to take over the package, at least to bring it up to date, and most likely maintain it afterwards. Thanks, Andrzej.

[aur-general] Aurphan in community
by keenerd 06 May '11

06 May '11

I would like to move Aurphan into community. I've added a number of features to it lately, and it has become an automated means of answering "what can I do to help Arch", parsing and summarizing the todo list, the bugtracker and the orphans. The one random dev I've asked seems cool with it, however he thought a wider consensus should be found. It has enough votes but.... Aurphan could be considered an AUR helper. By default it searches the AUR for AUR packages you already have installed. It does not download anything. I will change it so the default behavior does not search the AUR. (New default would display the --help) I won't change the name, on account of it being cute. aur page: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=43726 project page: http://kmkeen.com/aurphan/ -Kyle http://kmkeen.com

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=16947 Since GLC moved from its old site to github, there aren't any (or I can't find any) tarballs of glc, so now the only way to download it is via git, but since I already maintain the glc-git package, that makes this package reduntant and unneeded.

[aur-general] cant remember password
by Iñigo Álvarez 03 May '11

03 May '11

Hi I come here, because i forgot my aur username, and dont know how to deal wit it: A year ago, i formatted my laptop with Arch, to try Gentoo.. and some weeks ago, I just reinstalled Arch again... But i just cant remember which username i had, so i can't use aurvote, and most importantly, i can't upload any pakagebuilds to aur. I searched for ancient emails, but didn't appear on them my username, i also tried all my usual usernames, but they never worked, i assume i went original wit this one. I tried the "reset password" option, but on the reset mails never appear the username. Oviously, triing to do a new account doesen't work because "there is an account associated with this email". I will appreciate if someone can tell me my username, or delete my old account, so i can do a new one. I don't want to create a new email account just for aur... Thanks in advance for any help

by Yaro Kasear 03 May '11

I'm a tad confused about the purpose of /etc/rc. It says its used for the control of daemons and starting and stopping them. Does this mean its replacing the daemons array or something? And with the starting and stopping of daemons... is this for automation or something. The news page doesn't really offer that much explanation about this new file.

[aur-general] Delete request for "perl-docs" #22294
by Justin Davis 17 Apr '11

17 Apr '11

Please delete perl-docs. I would like to resubmit it and rename it to perldocs. This is trivial, of course, but it bugs me. Packages for perl modules are prefixed with perl- but perl-docs is simply the documentation for perl and not a "Docs" module. The file it downloads is named perldoc and there is a command for reading installed perl documentation called perldoc so it seems more appropriate to call the package perldocs. I know it sounds crazy! Please humor me! Here is the link: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=22294 Thanks, Justin (aka aurperl)

[aur-general] ec2-ami-tools && ec2-api-tools
by Ernie Brodeur 10 Apr '11

10 Apr '11

I've recently started updating these ec2 type packages and I noticed two things in the AUR that I cannot fix for obvious reasons. 1) there is duplicate ec2-ami tools. When I found them, there were two ec2-ami-tools back. I decided to update the one by Yejun because I updated several other of his packs. 2) ec2-api-tools is flagged out of date. Yejun has not updated it in several months and its been flagged out of date for over 6 weeks. I have updated ec2-ami-tools, can we remove the out of date duplicate? I have a copy of ec2-api-tools I can upload if that one can be flagged unmaintained. PS, I'm new to Arch, be nice if I missed something just trying to help:) Ernie Brodeur

[aur-general] AUR migrating to gettext and Transifex
by Lukas Fleischer 10 Apr '11

10 Apr '11

Hi, folks! I've just merged my gettext wip branch into master and pushed that to gerolde. From now on, AUR translations will be managed via Transifex [1]. That removes the need for sending git-formatted patches to aur-dev and improves collaboration. It'll hopefully also support cross-project work (pacman has been using Transifex for some time already). All current translation maintainers are encouraged to sign up for an account and request the addition of a new language team. You can find our project page on [2]. Cheers!

If you have any other suggestion (web client or linux desktop client) which comes anywhere close please let me know. Evolution's threading just doesn't cut it, thunderbird's new one is close, but thunderbird is basically a mouse-only interface, the keyboard shortcuts are so horrific (and muttator is an abortion of a project AFAICS). I've spent quite some time exploring the options, and settled on this. Ideas always welcome, of course.

[aur-general] When should pkgrel be updated?
by Oon-Ee Ng 01 Apr '11

01 Apr '11

I've seen (in the past) various packages on the AUR which jumped by 3 or 4 pkgrels in a very short period of time. Sometimes it happens like this:- 1. Maintainer changes something and breaks the package with pkgrel=2 2. Bug reported on comments. Maintainer reverts change and makes pkgrel=3 It can also happen like this:- 1. Maintainer makes changes to pkgdesc or cleans up some of the commands, depends, etc. sets pkgrel=2 For both of the cases above, is pkgrel updating really necessary? For the second one, I think not, as changing documentation doesn't (shouldn't) require recompilation of the package by its users. Similarly if depends changes, users who already have the package installed would already have the dep, so no reason for such users to upgrade? For the first case its a bit more tricky. My reasoning is that if the PKGBUILD breaks and can't be built at all, the maintainer could simply release with the same pkgrel. Noone would have been able to build pkgrel=2 in that example anyway, so why jump to pkgrel=3? The reason I bring this up is because there's no easy way (yet) to diff what's changed between versions of the package, and hence when I notice a pkgrel change I can't really check to see what has been changed and whether its worth recompiling the package (for larger packages like firefox4 this can be significant). Comments appreciated.

[aur-general] [deletion request] spacechem
by Alex Griffin 01 Apr '11

01 Apr '11

I submitted the package this morning but regretted it almost immediately. It does not meet the submission guidelines (doesn't download/verify) and my spacechem-demo PKGBUILD can also be used for the purchased full game anyway.

[aur-general] Should nvidia(-beta)-all replace all the other nvidia-* packages in the AUR?
by Det 01 Apr '11

01 Apr '11

Helloooo, So I've been thinking about this for some time now and I finally decided to ask the ones who know the best: would it be enough to only have 'nvidia-beta-all' and 'nvidia-all' in the AUR to replace all those nvidia-ice, nvidia-bfs, eg. packages? (Decluding nvidia-utils*, of course.) As far as I can think of, I can't see any downside(s) (whatsoever) of using those *-all packages instead of those 'specifc-kernel' packages, since they do in fact auto-detect all the kernels on the system. Now to the important part: what do you think? Det

[aur-general] Dealing with python-* versus python2-* packages
by Aaron DeVore 31 Mar '11

31 Mar '11

I started maintaining some Python 2 packages that currently use the python- prefix, but need to be renamed to use python2-. Python 3 versions will soon come out, so I don't want people using the python-* package until then. I want to still have the packages in the AUR so that someone doesn't accidentally recreate the python-* package. How do I make sure that people don't use the python-* packages until it's appropriate? -Aaron DeVore

[aur-general] Deletion request: gtk3
by Károly Pados 31 Mar '11

31 Mar '11

I created a basic gtk3 package in AUR, though later I noticed that there is a gnome-unstable repository, with gtk3 in it. Please delete my gtk3 package in AUR, I don't want it to start conflicting with gnome-unstable things and it is also redundant as it turns out. So I guess it is probably unwanted, or else let me know and I'll keep maintaining it until it gets stable. Thank you and sorry for the trouble.

[aur-general] orphan and deletion requests (stormlib and stormlib-linux)
by william 56 31 Mar '11

31 Mar '11

i am requesting that stormlib become orphaned, and stormlib-linux be deleted. stormlib-linux (21638) appears to be a duplicate of stormlib (21634), and both packages are unbuildable, as the stormlib source archive which both aur packages compile from has been altered. i sent an email to the package maintainer, zarra (8415), regarding updating his packages, and have yet to receive a response. also, a user commented on the stormlib package with an updated PKGBUILD file on september 23, 2010, though it appeared to go unnoticed by the maintainer. thanks, arch users!

[aur-general] Dropping multiget
by Stefan Husmann 29 Mar '11

29 Mar '11

Hello, I would like to drop the multiget package from [community] for the following reasons. - the tarball does not build. The error consist in a missing header file and was reported twice on upstream bugtracker without an answer - the latest svn-checkout builds, but the revision number is still low, it is 3. So what do you think? Should I upload a svn-based PKGBUILD or drop the package? In svn there is a desktop file, which never made it to the tarball. This would at least allow me to remove multiget from the list in FS#23387. Regards Stefan

I recently adopted the storm package. It should be renamed to python2-storm. "python" because it is a Python library, "2" because a Python 3 version will be put together in the not too far future. -Aaron DeVore

[aur-general] New list: arch-projects
by Thomas Bächler 28 Mar '11

28 Mar '11

A new list has been created: arch-projects. This list is for development discussion, patches and pull requests for initscripts, netcfg, dbscripts, devtools (and maybe other projects, those are the ones I could think of). Anyone is free to subscribe, but please, no user discussions (keep those to the forums or arch-general). Fun fact: There was a mailing list called arch-projects once, and it has been deleted, but the old archives are still there.

[aur-general] Store projects snapshots on sigurd
by Andrea Scarpino 28 Mar '11

28 Mar '11

Hi TUs, VCS PKGBUILDs in officials repositories should use a snapshot of the project and shouldn't fetch the sources directly from git; neither the snapshot tarball created by git (checksum changes every time). In [extra], we already do that storing the snapshot at ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/other/ . This is useful when a project dead or when website is down too. Then, we just set up ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/other/community/ , so our TUs can store their snapshots. Please fix your PKGBUILD to use it, but also please *do not* abuse of it: few space left on sigurd. Cheers. -- Andrea

[aur-general] Google-earth and bin32-google-earth
by Det 27 Mar '11

27 Mar '11

Hey, There's been some discussion between me and the maintainer/submitter of 'bin32-google-earth' (srabd) as to whether 'google-earth' should finally replace 'bin32-google-earth'. He disagrees. In his oppinion the "bin32-" prefix should always be used when the package being offered is a "32-bit only" one. I in turn think that the package should be removed in the favor of 'google-earth' that you can install for both archs and where you could say eg. in the 'pkgdesc' that the package provides 32-bit binaries (for both archs). It is not as much of a problem for me to have 'bin32-google-earth' existing in the AUR as long as the other one didn't. It's redundant to provide otherwise the same application but the other package provides it for i686 only. So what should be done? I'm not a TU and neither is srabd - but you are. Let the discussion begin (please, let it). Thanks for your time, Det

Hi all, I have just updated dbscripts and devtools. The new epoch variable intrduced in pacman 3.5 is now supported and $repo.files databases are now in sync with the actual repo db. Devtools now optionally uses btrfs snapshots to create a build environment and also works better with multiple users. Archbuild has now to be run directly via sudo. See http://projects.archlinux.org/devtools.git/log/ for more details. And thanks to everybody envolved. Let me know if anything does no longer work as expected.
