[aur-general] Errors on submission: Invalid name: only lowercase letters are allowed
by andrew thomas 06 Feb '11

06 Feb '11

I tried adopted this package (kernel26-yi) http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=37895 But when I tried to upload an updated PKGBUILD. I got rejected with "Invalid name: only lowercase letters are allowed" I used makepkg --source to generate a file named kernel26-yi-2.6.37-1.src.tar.gz. Why am I receiving this error? Thanks. andrewthomas

[aur-general] Moving packages to Community
by Maxime Wack 06 Feb '11

06 Feb '11

I had the same "problem" a few weeks ago, when the polipo package I was maintaining was moved to [Community] without any notice. I got aware of this when yaourt told me my version of polipo was not the same as in the repos… imagine my surprise when I didn't find my package on AUR anymore. Not that I particularly care about that package, or that I didn't want it to be in [Community], in fact it's for the best, less work for me ! But what I didn't like was that it was done without any comment or notice. Don't get me wrong, I'm absolutely not implying that it was MY precious package and that it felt like stealing, or that he had to wait for my approval. It's just that talking about a community-driven repository, the least you could expect from any user (and even more from a *trusted* user) would be to communicate about what he's doing, so that everything goes clear, acknowledged and understood. After discovering this, I emailed Jelle van der Waa (who adopted the package), on 01/21, writing : >Hello, I'm SataMaxx on AUR and was maintaining the polipo package. >I've seen that you adopted and ported it to [Community] and be assured that I really don't mind about this, however I think it would have been nice to notify me, just as a matter of good communication practice. > >Thank you, have a nice day ! " And I didn't get any answer…

[aur-general] Introduce kernel26-tools
by Seblu 05 Feb '11

05 Feb '11

Dear Arch Users/Dev/TUs, I read some times ago on this mailing list words about shortly introducing new cool packages. I'm starting. >From some times now, I discovered the power of a kernel embeded tools named perf, which is really useful to get information about your kernel performances and hunt performances issues. Something really awesome is to see perf of a guest kvm kernel inside the host kvm. Famous mode you can test are: perf top perf bench perf record perf kvm A link :https://perf.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Main_Page#Perf_tools I push a PKGBUILD into AUR to easily install this tool from kernel sources: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=46188.

Hi Angel, > This is opensource world dude, can you see it?, so forget those > "autorship" and "license" of those PKGBUILD, plus, in many cases, many > of the packages went from one people to another. Btw I don't know why > people refers to packages when we are talking about aurballs > containing PKGBUILD, this is different from a package. I feared the "authorship" word may get too much of attention. Its a sad result of ugly missuse of todays. The authorship I meant -- and sorry for not making myself clear the first time -- is a relation of one who creates to the thing created, or of all who create that is too. No licence fees, nor revenues, nor copyright needed, nor asked for. Just simple A (+ B) created this PKGBUILD/package -- the difference now is unimportant. > As Ioni said, he kept the Contributor tag, I don't see the point of > whining if your work as a maintainer is recognized on that PKGBUILD > but I don't see the point of contributing expecting recognition, we > are humans, I know, but what can make you happier than the fact that > your work evolved and now you have opportunity to evolve with it too > (i.e maintaining new PKGBUILD and then applying to be a TU). I also think that keeping the contributor tag is right. And I also am happy when my PKGBUILD gets promoted to repo. Though I'd be happier if I heard from the TU first (than finding out some day accidentaly that the PKGBUILD is not in the AUR anymore but now in the [community] as mentioned somewhere here). It is not as much of my own happiness -- though it motivates one if he hears it from the TU not just finds out accidentaly -- as also of bothsides politeness. > We eventually show our respect to the author to notice him that we do > will move your package, Now with this I would be maximaly fine. > but it's arrogant and too stupid to pretend > that a TU or Dev have to `ask you for permission` I guess I see your point. This is too strong. Though there should be some kind of inner `I have to ask him` comming from one's human politenes. Like `I want to move foo to community, is it ok with you? By the way good job maintaining it.` Most of the time the answer would be `yes` of course, but this motivates one to contribute. And sometimes one would answer `I am planning to become TU soon and would like to maintain this, so would you wait with the adoption till my becoming TU is resolved?` Now that does motivate too, doesn't it? > <--- THIS IS > MADNESS, you aren't the owner of that PKGBUILD ! even if you wrote it > from scratch! the next thing after from asking for permission will be > "please pay me" .. so hell no. For myself I contribute to Arch because I feel in a way obliged to, as it is a great distro which gave me much. So I hope stuff I put into AUR makes Arch better and help others. I want no money for it, just polite human comunication of what is going on. By the way, thanx for baring with me, Nicky -- Don't it always seem to go That you don't know what you've got Till it's gone (Joni Mitchell)

I'm the maintainer of this package and want it to be deleted because a) PKGBUILD is broken, outdated and i can't get current git versions to compile (neither master branch nor Branch_0_2) b) dino is not very popular, dino has 3 votes, dino-git 0 votes, so i think, we can live without the git package masutu

[aur-general] [community], [unsupported] and AUR
by Xyne 05 Feb '11

05 Feb '11

Hi, A post on the forum[1] brought my attention to the Official Repositories wiki page[2]. A recent note by Louipc states: "Technically, both the [community] and [unsupported] repos make up the AUR.". Is this really still true? The AUR website is completely independent of [community] now and I believe that all technical ties between [community] and [unsupported] have been severed. AUR pages on the wiki clearly refer to [unsupported] in many contexts, e.g. the main AUR article[3] contains the following snippets: "The Arch User Repository (AUR) is a community-driven repository for Arch users. It contains package descriptions (PKGBUILDs) that allow you to compile a package from source with makepkg and then install it via pacman." "[community], unlike AUR, contains binary packages" I also believe that most users immediately think of [unsupported] and only [unsupported] when speaking of the AUR. Furthermore, both are repositories in their own right, so it is a misnomer to refer to them as a singular "Arch User Repository". What is the point of claiming that [community] is part of AUR? It seems like an unnecessarily confusing vestige of [community]'s origins.

[aur-general] Unactive user

Hello, I found that the package [1] is out of date and in the mean time, I realized the maintainer is not really active. I sent him an email several days ago, no answer. I think some packages should be removed, especially beta ones, or packages like [2] (the title does not respect the aur policy) Another point: [3] is marked as a dev package (which is the last stable version) and [4] is titled as a stable version which is out of date. Well, many things should be cleaned up. Cheers.

It's all good but one thing: there either needs to be a provision for pyopencl or inclusion of the upstream module name in the description, so that the package naming doesn't hamper searches and common knowledge (i.e people would know 'pyopencl' only). I see the same issue with pyqt. Didn't we already have some discussion about the module naming convention during the major python transition?

[aur-general] Add pyopencl to [community]
by Stéphane Gaudreault 03 Feb '11

03 Feb '11

Dear Tus, I would like to add pyopencl [1] to [community]. I maintain this package in AUR and it has 14 votes. Pyopencl depends, among other, on libcl (OpenCL library, provided by either nvidia-utils or amdstream [2]) and a package that provides OpenCL C/C++ headers. Here is my plan : * Add pyopencl to [community] (I will use a better name, something like python2-pyopencl) * Tidy up and add opencl-headers [3] (66 votes) to [community] [4]. * Leave amdstream in AUR The opencl-headers package provides headers from the Khronos group. It could also be possible to use a different source to get *exactly* the same headers (Nvidia for example). Any comment or objections in adding these packages to the [community] repository? Stéphane [1] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=31416 [2] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=21933 [3] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=35367 [4] I contacted hsyl20 (maintainer of opencl-headers).

[aur-general] TU Application - Seblu
by Seblu 30 Jan '11

30 Jan '11

Hello, Tonight I decided to propose me as TU. My sponsor is Peter Lewis. My name is Sebastien Lutttringer, i'm a 26 years old french system and network engineer who lives in Paris. I'm gradued from EPITA a french computer school and i work in a private company for 4 years. My day to day job is done on Linux Debian and 99% of our servers are on Debian. We work mainly with open technologies and we love challenges with technology that we control/understand. As far as i recall, my first meet with linux, was in 2001/2002 (i don't remember exactly) with slackware and later with debian woody, it was just some test (not my main system) In 2005, i choose my grad school, in another for its hard Unix spirit. I wanted to become a unix power user. So, 2005 was my switching year to linux. I tested some distro and i choose debian as desktop station. In 2007, i changed my main distro to gentoo until 2010 (and my new laptop) where i switched to Arch. I never really took the time to get involved to my distro and since a long time i want it. Arch philosophy and simplicity, remember me slackware and makes me want to take the plunge. Regarding my skills I use a lot of linux technology in my work to design solutions to our problems (network operator, file transfer platform, streaming/cdn) or to maintain our critical systems. I also have skill in coding in C/C++, Python, Perl, lua, php, shell and some others. Regarding to arch, i maintain packages in AUR and fill bug report. I also plan to propose some patch in some times. As a TU, i would start by maintaining packages i use and which are not in community. To start i think to: arptables awesome conntrack-tools ebtables ferm fstrim lsscsi mtr-cli nload opera scsiadd ulogd vconfig After, I hope have enough time to more contribute to the distro and perhaps become a dev. Maybe working on pacman i've some ideas of improvment. Regards, -- Sébastien Luttringer www.seblu.net

[aur-general] Python AUR tarball naming
by David Campbell 28 Jan '11

28 Jan '11

I am updating some python tarballs in the AUR which appear to have been abandoned with the python switchover and don't have python3 versions. I created some python2 versions, named python2-foo, as this is what I thought was the correct practice, but found out the main(core, extra) python packages are not being renamed until python3 versions are available. So what is the correct practice? Should the old python tarballs be deleted and replaced by python2-foo versions or should the python tarballs just be made to work with python2?

[aur-general] AUR cleanup
by Dave Reisner 27 Jan '11

27 Jan '11

So, on the subject of cleanup, I've come across a list of 530 packages on sigurd that aren't accessible from the web interface. Judging from some of the names, I'd wager that these are packages which were deleted but something went wrong, etc etc. In total, it's about 20mb of space that would be freed. Any reason these shouldn't just be purged by someone with root privs? dave

[aur-general] Proposal for the reinstatement of AUR Cleanup Day.
by Thomas Dziedzic 26 Jan '11

26 Jan '11

Hello fellow Users/TUs, I have come across a rather old wiki entry [1] which was used for AUR Cleanup Day. It seems like we haven't had this day in quite some time, so I would like to have another AUR Cleanup Day where the community along with the TUs participate to clean things up in the AUR. We would use the wiki link to keep track of progress after cleaning it up a bit since the last time it was used. If I have enough people on board with this, I would like to make it an "AUR Cleanup Weekend" so that they can contribute whenever they have time. I would like to stress that this wouldn't be limited to only TU participation. Anyone would be able to see if there are broken packages, and list them on the wiki to have a TU look at it. I would like to make AUR Cleanup Weekend either this or next weekend. What do you think? [1] - https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR_Cleanup_Day

[aur-general] duplicates of tmux vcs...
by Martti Kühne 26 Jan '11

26 Jan '11

at the moment there are three vcs packages of tmux on aur. http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?K=tmux tmux-cvs is my package. tmux-git is a tmux developer's synchronisation which doesn't use a separate build directory, but may come in handy because it's git and the commit history is present. tmux-cvs-windowstatus is a patch for an obviously outdated cvs repo, because... the patch is for cmd-set-option.c - though right now the file containing that data is called options-table.c and the patched content has been issue to further changes afaict (being no more window-status-bell-* but window-status-alert-* instead for example). Guess it does not build. The third one may be deleted imho. And you know what, scratch mine as well... tmux-git is just fine. cheers!

Okay everyone, every time I ask I get a different answer. According to Dziedzic and Allan 'glibc' does *not* belong in 'depends'.

When none > of A - E are installed, they are probably equally efficient. Yes, I agree with that: dependencies will always have to be checked at package install time. That means that any approach based on a "transitive closure" at packaging time is useless. What could also happen is that C is updated and no longer needs E. Then, with a "transitive closure", A would still install E, which would be useless for the user. So the only way to be safe is not to be clever and to specify real dependencies, eg: Real deps --------- A -> B,D B -> C C -> D,E Transitive closure ------------------ A -> B,C,D,E B -> C,D,E C -> D,E Current Arch way ---------------- A -> B B -> C C -> D,E What should be done ------------------- A -> B,D B -> C C -> D,E -- Pierre 'catwell' Chapuis

[aur-general] Any workaround/fix for broken qtile-git?
by Angus 21 Jan '11

21 Jan '11

I really want to try out qtile, but qtile-git in AUR or a dependency of it is broken (and seems to have been so for at least a while). Specifically, running qtile results in: File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/libqtile/drawer.py", line 138, in __init__ self.height, TypeError: pycairo was not compiled with xpyb support Two of its dependencies are flagged out of date... Anyone know more about the status of this? Should I instead attempt to build from source myself?

[aur-general] Any TU feel like maintaining eric5 in extra/community?
by Angus 20 Jan '11

20 Jan '11

eric is a feature rich IDE (mainly) for python. eric4 is for use with python2 and is packaged in extra as "eric". eric5 is for use with python3. Both branches seem to be equally stable. eric5 is currently available in the AUR, but now that its python3 related dependencies (python-qscintilla/python-qt/pyqt/python-sip) have all become available in extra it should be straightforward to maintain eric5 in extra as well. (I'm not the AUR maintainer, just a thankful yet whiny user.)

[aur-general] TU Application -Thomas Hatch
by Thomas S Hatch 20 Jan '11

20 Jan '11

Hello, ArchLinux Tus Xyne has agreed to sponsor me as a TU. I am very excited at the potential opportunity to become more directly involved with the development of ArchLinux. I atteneded Southern Utah University (SUU) where I studied Computer Science. While at SUU I set up one of the first American ArchLinux mirrors, a mirror which is still in operation – locke.suu.edu. At SUU I also worked as a research assistant and developed a (now defunct) Linux distribution based on Arch called Axiom Linux for rediculously parallel compute clusters. It was based on Larch and involved a modified Arch installer, (this was before the aif days). Since then I have worked as a trainer for Red Hat, then a systems software developer for a United States DOD contractor and I am presently employed as a Sr Systems Engineer at Beyond Oblivion. My contributions to Arch so far have been: Created and maintained a working puppet package for Arch, and updated the existing puppet pacman code. Ported libguestfs to Arch, this involved working with the libguestfs developers to create a build port specific to Arch since the build process requires the creation of a specialized Arch Qemu Vm image. Set up MooseFS support for Arch – This is a VERY cool project that I strongly recommend people take a look at : moosefs.org I have been working on standardizing the Ocaml packages for Arch and currently maintain about 25 Ocaml packages. I am the author of the Varch Project: http://code.google.com/p/varch/ My packages and project staging repo is at: http://code.google.com/p/enterprise-archlinux/ I am working on a project that I hope will greatly benefit Arch called quarters: http://code.google.com/p/quarters/ It is still sparse, I just started a re architect And my packages for you to look over: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?SeB=m&K=thatch45 All in all, I am deeply passionate about open source and Linux, I believe in the pragmatic approach to Linux and have continued to find Arch as one of, if the the, superior Linux distribution out there today, not only in principal, but also in engineering. My hope is to assist in bringing ArchLinux further into the forefront of the overall Linux community and to continue to port enterprise grade software to Arch. Hopefully my current contributions suffice to allow me to work as a TU, if there is anything in my contributions or packages that needs improvement, or if there is anything else I can do to improve my standing, please let me know so I can make my application as spotless as possible. -thatch45 -Thomas S Hatch

[aur-general] Warning: PyQt change

Hi AUR maintainers, I did a change in the pyqt package to add Python 3 support to it and to allow everyone to install both the Python2 and the Python3 version.

The packages in [extra] and [community] have been updated, please do the same with your packages in AUR. Also, the packages which depend on sip have to be fixed with the right dependence: python2-sip (or python-sip if the package uses Python 3). Thank you! -- Andrea

[aur-general] Is there a way to mark 300(!) AUR packages out-of-date?
by Peter Simons 18 Jan '11

18 Jan '11

Hi guys, last October, Don Stewart stepped down as maintainer of the Arch Haskell project. Ever since then, I have been the primary maintainer of the PKGBUILD database that he left behind. Now, a group of volunteers has combined forces to provide the Arch Haskell ABS tree, which is a collection of Haskell packages that we distribute as a binary repository. Its availability was recently announced here: http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/haskell-cafe/2011-January/088165.html As you know, the 'arch-haskell' user on AUR owns some 1,990 packages. Since our attention has shifted to HABS, those packages are no longer maintained. We do try to keep some of them up-to-date when we have the chance, but it's not a primary concern. A more complete description of the situation is available here: http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.haskell.arch-linux/246 As of today, about 300 packages are known to be out-of-date. A complete list is attached below. Now, I reckon that it would be polite to mark those packages out-of-date, so that AUR users are aware of this fact. I have no idea how to accomplish that in an efficient fashion, though. Does anyone know a script that can do that? Or could you guys maybe do that for us using some mad low-level database interface? Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Take care, Peter Out-dated 'arch-haskell' packages on AUR: |------------------------------------+---------------+--------+------------------------------| | Package name | Version | AUR ID | Available

[aur-general] Changing AUR development infrastructure.
by Loui Chang 17 Jan '11

17 Jan '11

Recently I've had the idea that I should move the 'main' AUR git repo, which I have been the caretaker of to the community server where all other community and AUR development is done. This would also mean we would have to run a git daemon, and should also install a web interface like cgit to browse the repo. I'm hearing that there is some opposition to this. I'd like to start a discussion to hear the reasons behind that. Here are the reasons I have for moving the repo: * The Trusted Users will have more control over the AUR development since it will be on their own server. * We can use the new infrastructure to host other TU and community projects. * We don't need to create superfluous shell accounts on gerolde to for push access to those repos. Those accounts already exist on sigurd. The AUR and community development infrastructure used to all be hosted on the main Arch Linux server, but we moved the community portion when a new server was donated by sevenl.net. I think it makes a whole lot of sense to also move the rest. Cheers!

[aur-general] Remove cdparanoia-devel package
by Michal Hybner 17 Jan '11

Hello, I would like to remove cdparanoia-devel[1] package. It was useful in days when stable release was long ahead and this devel version solved problem with new drives which caches audio. Now when stable version is out and in Arch extra repo, there is no need for that, because there are no development versions of cdparanoia anymore.

[aur-general] Is it okay to mark broken packages out-of-date on AUR?
by Peter Simons 16 Jan '11

16 Jan '11

Hi guys, the AUR user palmfron has recently flagged the package "haskell-haskcore" out-of-date, because the PKGBUILD is broken. It cannot be compiled, because it depends on other packages that no longer exist: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=20383 Now, there is disagreement among the members of the ArchHaskell team about whether it's okay to flag that package out-of-date. Some argue that the package is *not* out-of-date, because the published version 0.1.0.4 is the latest one available, so the package cannot be updated to a newer version. These people argue that flagging a package out-of-date just because it's broken is not alright. Others say that it's perfectly alright to flag that package out-of-date, because it's *broken*, so clearly the PKGBUILD does need updating to be useful. Is there some sort of consensus among AUR maintainers how to deal with that kind of situation? If an AUR package is current, so to speak, but it doesn't compile, then what should be done with it? This issue is of some importance for us, because the 'arch-haskell' user has published an approximated 500 packages on AUR that are broken, i.e. these packages cannot be built because of unsatisfiable dependencies: https://github.com/archhaskell/habs/issues#issue/4 I'd appreciate any advice that you could offer. Take care, Peter

[aur-general] Stable (and obsolete) CrystalHD package in the AUR
by Stijn Segers 16 Jan '11

16 Jan '11

Hello, Broadcom's CrystalHD drivers has two development trees online - an SVN one (maintained by Davilla, an Xbmc developer), and a git one, which seems to have some of Broadcom's people on board. Davilla periodically syncs with the git tree. There is a package on the AUR simply called 'crystalhd' which points to the git tree in its package info, but is in fact built from the original Broadcom release tarball [1], which, by now, is obsolete, and hasn't been updated by its maintainer in quite a while, despite being flagged out of date; there is a new tarball available from July 2010, which is out of data as well; furthermore, the driver is included in staging. I would like to upload a stable package based on the SVN tree (which has release tags), and think simply naming 'crystalhd' - since it's a stable release tagged as such by the Xbmc developer - would best, but I'm not sure. Calling it crystalhd-svn might be more appropriate, especially to differentiate it from the crystalhd-git tree, but it might confuse people as well (e.g. a crystalhd-svn-3.8.0-1-i686.tar.xz package looks kinda bizarre). Either way, I think the package [1] can be safely deleted, so I would like to request that, and have opinions on the best name for the new stable package based on the svn sources. Thanks B [1] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=34193

[aur-general] Time to Step Down
by Aaron Bull Schaefer 15 Jan '11

15 Jan '11

Fellow Trusted Users, After almost 4 years of being a TU, I've had less and less time to dedicate toward maintaining my packages, and so I think it's finally time for me to step down. Arch users definitely deserve a better response time than what I've been able to provide lately, and unfortunately, my priorities have shifted elsewhere. Most of my packages should be pretty straight forward to maintain, but feel free to poke me if you have any questions on them. I do have two open bugs (one for woof and one for pv) that I've updated with what info I know. Thanks for everything you've taught me over the years...it's been an honor working with you all to maintain this fantastic distro, and rest assured that I'll always be involved in the community in one form or another. Keep up the great work! -- Aaron "ElasticDog" Schaefer

[aur-general] qt3 backend in python-matplotlib
by Stéphane Gaudreault 14 Jan '11

14 Jan '11

Dear TUs, I am preparing an update of python-matplotlib to version 1.0.1. This package supports multiple backends for rendering graphics and plotting windows. So far, our PKGBUILD supported QTAgg which requires the old qt3. Considering that qt3 has no future, I wonder if it is still necessary to provide this backend. Any objections if I drop it ? I will also set the default backend to QT4Agg (user will still be able to change the default in the matplotlibrc file or in their scripts). Stéphane

[aur-general] lysdr-git, while we're talking about new packages
by Gordon JC Pearce 14 Jan '11

14 Jan '11

Okay, since there was a bit of discussion about new packages, I thought I'd maybe make some noise about one of mine. I've written a software-defined radio receiver called lysdr, and (so far) I don't think there's anything like it in AUR ;-) What is it? Well, it's a radio receiver, of sorts. Ideally you should use it with a special receiver plugged into the soundcard, but you can use it with prerecorded files too. The documentation assumes you know a little about how it all works, so what I'll do is describe how to get it set up and working, and you can be the guinea-pigs for helping me write better documentation. I recommend reading the Wikipedia page on software-define radio (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software-defined_radio here) if you want to learn more about the technology behind it. Okay, first - a screenshot. Here it is: http://www.gjcp.net/~gordonjcp/lysdr.jpg (1032x310px, 60kB) A little to the right, you can see the tuning cursor with its red tuning "needle" and yellow filter strip. You'll notice that the red tuning line is just a wee fraction right of the 7.061MHz scale marking, and the frequency display below indicates that we're tuned to 7.0618MHz. The broad bright line that the filter strip is on is actually the spectrum of someone's voice! It's a Polish station, SP5BL - "See-Eh-Rah Pah-Pah Senk Pah-Pah Brah-voh", you can actually see the syllables. Off to the left side of the screen we have some data modes including CW (Morse code), RTTY (radio teletype) and PSK31 (phase-shift keying). The three fat fuzzy blobs a little left of the middle are probably a digital mode called PACTOR that transfers data relatively quickly with a lot of error correction - "relatively" in that it's still only about 100 characters per second. You can install it by your favourite method of brewing AUR packages - I use clyde. Naturally, any comments on how to improve the packaging (or the software) will be welcomed. It will require (and should pull in) jack, fftw and gtk+ (if you haven't got these already) and requires Python for the build process and git to download. Once you've built and installed it, grab http://www.gjcp.net/~gordonjcp/sdr.flac - don't listen to it though, unless you have a taste for the avant-garde. If you play it back, you'll just hear a high-pitched hiss and some scratchy chittering noises, it won't blow your speakers or make you see The Ring or anything. Don't compress it with any lossy compression format, or convert it to mono to save space - it must have its two channels perfectly in phase for the receiver to work! It's not really left and right signals like stereo, it's actually real and imaginary samples. Unless you know what this means already, don't bother looking it up on Wikipedia. I have a rough idea what it means; I don't need to know how to build a chicken to cook an egg. Now, start up jack (it'll start automatically, possibly with less-than-wonderful settings, so check the Arch wiki on how to do this) then start lysdr with "lysdr --co -f 7056000" (--co is "Connect outputs", -f 7056000 is "Centre frequency is 7056kHz). Now, start mplayer with "mplayer -ao jack:port=lysdr sdr.flac" and you should start to see stuff scrolling up the screen. You can use any other media player, as long as it can play flac files and output to jack. Stuff scrolls up the screen, you drag the cursor bar across the waterfall to tune, and you drag the edges of the yellow filter strip to change the filter bandwidth. Clicking "WIDE" or "NARROW" picks preset filter bandwidths suitable for speech or data modes. LSB is "Lower Sideband", and means that the wanted signals are below where we're tuned to - again, Wikipedia will tell you plenty about that. So, try it out, and see what you can hear. Bonus prize for finding the Windows error "bong"! 73s, Gordon MM0YEQ

The "netbeans-se" package should have been called "netbeans-javase", since NetBeans is about more than just Java. For this reason, I've just uploaded a "netbeans-javase" package to AUR. The "netbeans-se" package was orphaned by its original maintainer, so I adopted it temporarily. Please don't screw this up and remove the wrong one! The "netbeans-se" package needs deleting.

[aur-general] libnl 2.0 rebuild

So, libnl 2.0 was declared stable in October as I just learned.

I'd like to do the rebuild on the weekend. If we can't fix all packages, we could put a libnl1 package to [extra]. (If there are no patches, it seems that porting to libnl 2.0 is not that difficult, so we could do it ourselves and submit it)

[aur-general] Please delete evolution-added-plugins
by Ng Oon-Ee 13 Jan '11

13 Jan '11

I uploaded it [1] then realized it would be better to follow the way Debian packages it. For background, Gnome Evolution has some 'experimental' (read: unmaintained) plugins in its source which are not installed by default. Package [1] was my initial attempt to compile them, and was meant as a replacement for evolution in [extra]. I realized though that the Debian package was only a few kb (only containing the plugin), so I uploaded [2] which follows the same name as Debian/Ubuntu and only contains the plugin, with a versioned dependency on evolution. So in conclusion, [2] replaces and is better than [1], please delete [1] =) [1] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=45345 [2] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=45346

[aur-general] Packages up for adoption

Hello to everyone on the AUR mailing list. Sadly, my job doing desktop support has evaporated (along with most of the tech jobs around town), leaving me with much, much less time to tend over my packages. Its back to the menial retail life for me. But my loss is your gain! I was watching over a few packages in the AUR, but now am forced to disown them, due to lack of time and energy. (and a constant SSH connection to my boxes at home!) Here is a list of PKGBUILDS followed by how many votes they have: archdark-gdm-theme 0.2-2 120 baobab 2.4.2-2 254 gnomebaker 0.6.4-1 238 monkey 0.11.0-1 9 monkey-git 20100415-1 0 mt-daapd 0.2.4.2-6 36 win7multi-gdm-theme 10 By the time this email hits the repeater, they should be disowned. Feel free to contact me at wriggary at gmail if you have any questions about these packages. -Gary

So with the recent release of apvlv 0.1.0, I have decided to drop maintaining it.

I've post the bug near half year. Recently, I got a user require to renew PKGBUILD. But, I think this is bug of AUR script paring problem. As I know AUR's program will not modify. So, the simple method is delete the entry, let me upload again. If you know the admin of AUR, could you help me to delete the entry of grub4dos. That let me could easy upload a new grub4dos entry. https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/20672

[aur-general] [aur general] Seeking the TU wisdom
by Thomas S Hatch 07 Jan '11

07 Jan '11

Ok, I have a bit of a problem with a pair of packages, puppet and facter. As it stands the puppet package in the aur is broken, it builds but it does not run properly. The puppet package in the AUR is configured to run on ruby 1.9, puppet does not run properly on ruby 1.9 yet, and the pacman plugin for puppet that is supplied with the package no longer works properly. The package has also been out of date for a few weeks. I have contacted the maintainer and I was promised that my fixes would be applied, but they were not, so I made a duplicate, puppet-ruby1.8 and facter-ruby1.8, I am using these packages in production and they work very well. I even open up a github account, forked Miah's puppet package, applied the changes and requested a pull as requested. But the package remains out of date and broken, so my question is this, does this constitute grounds for having a TU orphan the packages so I can update them, make them work, and get rid of my duplicates? Or should I continue more diplomatically? -Tom Hatch

[aur-general] Ocaml Packages
by Thomas S Hatch 05 Jan '11

05 Jan '11

I am looking at the state of the ArchLinux Ocaml packages. I am trying to update a number of them and I am trying to build a number of ocaml applications, but there are many incosistencies. The main problem is that there are ocaml packages that build with findlib and without findlib, and they place the development libs in different places. Also I have found a few packages that install libs in the findlib dir AND in the ocaml dir. The two directories are : findlib: /usr/lib/ocaml/site-lib non-findlib: /usr/lib/ocaml Other distributions with more developed ocaml support, such as fedora and Debian/Ubuntu have chosen to use findlib for all packages and they all install to the /usr/lib/ocaml dir. So I am proposing for discussion, that we look into repairing the ocaml packages to all use findlib and to install everything into /usr/lib/ocaml. Then we can have some peace on the ocaml front and we can do away with the complications in the AUR with ocaml packages. I have adopted the ocaml-findlib package and a number of them have been orphaned, (which I am picking up) but I wanted to run this by the TUs and other AUR devs before I really considered revamping the ocaml landscape in the AUR. -Thanks -Thomas S Hatch

[aur-general] GMPC packages, bundle and singular
by Joel Heaton 03 Jan '11

03 Jan '11

Hi all, I just have a query about these, before I spend some time adopting and updating a bunch of them. In AUR, there are two packages that provide almost all of the GMPC plugins as far as I can see; gmpc-plugins and gmpc-plugins-git: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=29603 http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=23457 There are a number of plugins packaged separately in the AUR as shown here: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?O=0&K=gmpc&do_Search=Go&detail=1&C=0&… Now, neither gmpc-plugins nor gmpc-plugins-git provide all of the plugins listed, though they do cover most. Are the others okay to exist in case people only want one or two rather than the whole package, or should they be removed because they are provided by another package? I'd just like to clear this up before I go ahead and do anything/nothing. Kind regards, Joel.

Hello everyone! I set up a repository based on a modified version of ArchAudio, with some of my stuff and lots of PKGBUILDs from AUR's contributors. Hope this helps to update and maintain ArchAudio alive and updated. Just source for now, no binaries. It is a hg repo, so it can also be hosted inBitBucket and Google Code, and can be easily forked, hacked and pushed back. The contribution work can be much easier this way, I think. The initial idea is not _necessarily_ to replace ArchAudio repo binaries, but set up a pool for development of the most updated and new in terms of professional audio packages for ArchLinux. https://bitbucket.org/smoge/archstudio Happy New Year!

Personally, I don't feel strong either way. As it was explained to me on IRC, cower doesn't include any building or installation functionality, it only searches for packages, downloads them, and can also check for updates to installed, unsupported, packages.

It doesn't help building anything and users still have to familiar themselves with PKGBUILD and makepkg. i consider cower being a cli interface from aur and it much better than the html version. with it i can found more easily packages because it has bash completion, searching has regex. Just try to find the link for opera build from aur using the html interface vs cower. The only "rule" i found in wikis about this subject is: Note: There is not and will never be an official mechanism for installing build material from UNSUPPORTED.

In lieu of one of Xyne's flowcharts, consider the raw interaction with the AUR to be something like: search -> download -> extract -> makepkg -> pacman cower draws the line after extraction, because I consider the process to be trivial up until that point. A completely uninformed user who learns how to use the AUR website and/or cower is still left in the same position after extraction -- they have some strange text files on their hard drive. A monkey* could get this far. The responsibility still lies with the user to understand what they've downloaded and what needs to be done with those files. makepkg, and the understanding of, is too important to be masked by another program. I do, however, understand the concern that existance of a tool in community to fetch said strange files may make them appear to be more supported than unsupported. dave * a real monkey, not one of our users.

30 Dec '10

Hi aur-general, I was out of the country while the whole Holiday Madness moves were taking place. Therefore I'm adopting my packages a little late. It looks like I'll be moving radvd, libx86emu, hwinfo, netperf, and nsd to [community]. They'll probably hit [community-testing] tomorrow and [community] in a couple of days. Merry Christmas and Happy New Years everyone! --Kaiting. -- Kiwis and Limes: http://kaitocracy.blogspot.com/

[aur-general] VirtualBox in [community]
by Heiko Baums 28 Dec '10

28 Dec '10

In the [community] repo there are the following packages in addition to the package virtualbox 4.0.0-2: virtualbox-additions 4.0.0-1 (any) virtualbox-guest-additions 4.0.0-2 (i686 and x86_64) virtualbox-guest-modules 4.0.0-2 (i686 and x86_64) In ABS there's only virtualbox-additions. What is what package? And is virtualbox-additions a duplicate of virtualbox-guest-additions? If yes, it would be nice, if this could be removed from [community] without moving it to AUR. And it would be nice if virtualbox-ext-oracle (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=44761) would be moved to [community], too, so that virtualbox is completely in [community] with all its features. And, btw., does it really make sense to split virtualbox? I mean in most cases the virtualbox-guest-additions and virtualbox-guest-modules are needed for running virtualbox or the guests anyway.

[aur-general] Deletion request for picviz

Hello, I have adopted picviz [1] a few days ago to update it, and I chose to keep the same splitting as upstream, so I have made packages for libpicviz [2], picviz-cli [3] and picviz-gui [4].

It does not bother me that an upstream dev asks the maintainer to add some warnings about the early state of an application and the need of proper bug reports. And I'm fine with giving warnings about that. What I do not understand is him asking for the removal of a package. If he put a public svn he should accept that code is checked out from it. Anyway I do agree with the benefit of understanding and collaboration between open source communities.

[aur-general] TU Application
by Jelle van der Waa 20 Dec '10

20 Dec '10

Hello all. I would like apply to become a TU! Daenyth has decided to sponsor me for my TU application I'm 21 years old and a Bachelor student Computer Science. I have experience with C++, C, x86 ASM, Java, Python, PHP, SQL and javascript. I use archlinux on daily basis as a server and as desktop on my laptop. Since a year I am a maintainer at the Arch-Games project[0], since then i learned how to deal with makepkg, libpng/libjpeg patches, rebuilding packages for boost/python. Also learning how to work and setup clean chroots for 32 and 64 bit and how to improve PKGBUILDs and use tools like git/svn/namcap. I have had much fun and hard work working on updating packages for arch-games, Daenyth really helped me a lot and #archlinux and #archlinux-offtopic guys too ;) Also I must admit i have learned a lot from Ioni. I would like to become a Trusted User, so I can help packaging for community since something there are a lot of orphan packages so I will be always prepared to update/improve those packages. I would love to see improvements like more splitting of packages which has been done with packages like compiz. Also creating more any packages would be better for our mirrors. Since we didn't have much space for packages, I have had to split much data packages to "any". My current packaging interests are haskell, LaTeX, cli apps, virtualization. In the future i am looking into improving tools such as namcap. Feel free ask any questions here or on irc. [0] https://github.com/Arch-Games/arch-games P.S. Allan made me apply :P -- Jelle van der Waa

Then there are these two: fbsplash-uswsusp [6] and uswsusp-fbsplash [7]. They both provide uswsusp 0.8 with --enable-fbsplash, the differences come from the patches they apply.

[aur-general] Package Deletion - gtk2.18
by Eduardo Martins Lopes 16 Dec '10

16 Dec '10

Hello guys, I would like to ask for the deletion of this package http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=36204 It was required by another program but it's useless right now. I would also ask for deletion of another two, but i cant exactly tell if they are still used or not by someone else because they got a few votes awhile ago. Thanks in advance, -- Eduardo Martins Lopes Laboratory of Theoretical Chemistry Federal University of São Carlos

[aur-general] python2-simpleparse replaces python-simpleparse / balazar removal
by Martti Kühne 15 Dec '10

15 Dec '10

python-simpleparse [1] is not supporting python 3.x atm. I just uploaded a package with correct naming. balazar [2] depends on python 2.x, the project is abandoned and the app segfaults just after the main menu, so the package can be scratched IMO. Guess my request was ignored last week after I mentioned it on irc... ;-P [1] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=11339 [2] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=20842 cheers mar77i

Can someone please delete the "pamusb" package. It is a duplicate of "pam_usb"... I obviously didn't see pam_usb before creating pamusb. Thx, ~p
