[aur-general] Rebuild community/skype-call-recorder
by Michael Witten 16 Jul '10

16 Jul '10

The `skype-call-recorder' package in the `community' repository simply needs to be rebuilt. The current binary fails to run because it cannot load `libpng12' (which no longer seems to exist officially and is indeed not required by skype-call-recorder). -------------------- The following may be of interest to the developer of skype-call-recorder (who has been added to the Bcc list out of respect for a seemingly keen interest for remaining private). Interestingly, after rebuilding skype-call-recorder, the output of this command (which gives the direct shared library dependencies): readelf -d `which skype-call-recorder` | awk -F'[][]' '/NEEDED/ {print $2}' went from this: libmp3lame.so.0 libid3-3.8.so.3 libvorbisenc.so.2 libQtGui.so.4 libpng12.so.0 libSM.so.6 libICE.so.6 libXrender.so.1 libfreetype.so.6 libfontconfig.so.1 libXext.so.6 libX11.so.6 libQtDBus.so.4 libdbus-1.so.3 libQtXml.so.4 libQtNetwork.so.4 libssl.so.0.9.8 libQtCore.so.4 libz.so.1 libgthread-2.0.so.0 libglib-2.0.so.0 librt.so.1 libpthread.so.0 libdl.so.2 libstdc++.so.6 libm.so.6 libgcc_s.so.1 libc.so.6 libvorbis.so.0 libogg.so.0 to this: libmp3lame.so.0 libid3-3.8.so.3 libvorbisenc.so.2 libQtGui.so.4 libQtDBus.so.4 libQtNetwork.so.4 libQtCore.so.4 libstdc++.so.6 libm.so.6 libgcc_s.so.1 libc.so.6 libvorbis.so.0 libogg.so.0 More interesting is that even some of these aren't actually direct dependencies; the output of this command: ldd -u `which skype-call-recorder` is this: Unused direct dependencies: /usr/lib/libmp3lame.so.0 /usr/lib/libid3-3.8.so.3 /usr/lib/libvorbisenc.so.2 /usr/lib/libQtNetwork.so.4 /lib/libm.so.6 /usr/lib/libgcc_s.so.1 /lib/libc.so.6 /usr/lib/libvorbis.so.0 For instance, I imagine that `libc' is listed as unused because skype-call-recorder is actually a C++ program that only depends directly on `libstdc++'. Perhaps the commands used to build skype-call-recorder can be cleaned up. Sincerely, Michael Witten

[aur-general] any rules for groupadd in .install files?
by Christian Himpel 16 Jul '10

16 Jul '10

hi, it happens that i'm the current maintainer of the go-hg[1] package in aur. currently the package installs in /opt/go. go has nice support for installing third-party packages (goinstall), but it's a security risk for people to goinstall these third-party libraries as root. installing the gofiles with group 'go' and setting sgid bit for all (or only affected) directories this security flaw could be avoided (or at least reduced). so my question is: are there any rules or policies for packages, that call groupadd in the .install files? i saw that extra/qemu-kvm adds the group kvm with gid 78, so is there somewhere a list with `available' gids? do you have any other/better idea how to face the problem? thank you very much in advance! cheers, chressie [1]: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=33695

[aur-general] Why is there no option to delete your own package in AUR yourself?
by Michael Düll (akurei) 16 Jul '10

16 Jul '10

Hello fellow Archers! I wonder why there's no option to delete your own package from AUR. Some users pointed out, that there once was too much abusive behaviour. I can't think of a way how this could be abused, if you are only allowed to delete your _own_ uploaded packages, except one: If there's many users (and OTHER packages from AUR that rely on that perticular package [eg bin32-wine relies on lib32-libldap from AUR]), and you delete it, thus breaking dependencies. My proposal is: Allow people to delete their own AUR packages if a) No other AUR package depends on it and b) if there's less than 10 people "using" it (aurvote). This way it would be easy to delete a faulty package without first asking on the list and it would hopefully encourage more people to try and put PKGBUILDS on AUR. akurei

[aur-general] Python-3.x transition with python-2.7 update
by Allan McRae 08 Jul '10

08 Jul '10

Hi all, Here comes a rebuild so large that our TODO list had trouble handling it! Hopefully all packages are now in the rebuild list.... At a total of 518 packages long, it puts the combined libpng/libjpeg rebuild to shame. Python-2.7 has been releases and will be the last 2.x official release of python. So it is time to switch to python-3.x as our /usr/bin/python and python-2.7 as our /usr/bin/python2. See http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DeveloperWiki:Python_Todo_List for all the details about how to achieve this. It is actually not that hard. I had a system converted when python-3.1 was released as a test run. The main key is to build packages in a clean chroot so that they detect and point their files to /usr/bin/python2. Some packages are stupid and require a sed at the end of packaging to fix that. Because this rebuild is crazy stupid, I would like to plan when it is going to occur. We will need to clear out [testing] as much as possible over the coming week or two (what is happening with perl...). Also, a new KDE is a the beginning of next month so I would not want to conflict with that. Any other major rebuilds on the way? Should we do this in a separate repo? Allan

I do not expect to happen the switch of most upstream python projects to the 3-branch within next five to twn years, if ever. python3 may be an improvement over python2 in the sense of a clean language. But that is an academical argument. We should take into account for our distribution what people and upstream projects actually use, and that is the 2- branch of python. Regards Stefan

[aur-general] TU application for Sven-Hendrik Haase
by Sven-Hendrik Haase 05 Jul '10

05 Jul '10

Hey everybody, I'd like to apply for TU. I tricked Daenyth into sponsoring me. Rocking since 1990 in Germany, I've been using Arch Linux for around two years now and since I seem to stick with it I thought I might as well become TU. I have past experience in Suse, Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora and DSL as well as a few minor ones (mostly spin-offs). I currently have about 10 Arch installations in all kinds of forms, virtual, chroot, desktop, laptop, incandescent gas. Whenever I'm not busy trying to create another cdrkit vs. cdrtools flame fest on the mailing list I'm generally trying to be helpful on the wiki, forums, IRC and AUR. I like being pedantic about things like replaces() vs. conflicts() + provides() or $startdir/src vs. $srcdir. In AUR I currently maintain 66 packages. My most important packages are multimedia/game development related though I tend to package whatever I think it useful or fun. While I'm aware that many Archers consider games wasteful in terms of time investment and disk space, I think the number of votes on my packages still make some of them same valid candidates for [community]. See my awe-inspiring list of packages: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?SeB=m&K=Svenstaro I'm rather interested in Python and since PyPy might become more important in the future I will continue to take good care of that package. I'm somewhat involved or at least interested in the upstream development for some of my packages (SFML, Ogre3D, SFML, Gobby, Bullet, Box2D, -gallium). I like trying out new fancy things. I've used all major DEs and a bunch of WMs. I maintain my own live distribution closely based on Arch Linux and archiso (live.linux-gamers.net) and in the process of creating it wrote the archiso article for the wiki. I care about guidelines and consistency, though I am aware that my AUR packages aren't all fully consistent. Working on that. On LinuxTag 2010, I openly promoted my religion using my Arch shirt together with a fellow Archer. We tried our best to sound like the condescending Arch jerks that we are. Just kidding. We showed-off Arch to quite a few people who were interested, though. We met quite a few unrelated Archers on the fair as well but they didn't seem to have as much Arch-esteem as we did. Is it true that the secret TU tower is where all the girls are kept? -- Sven-Hendrik

[aur-general] Duplicates in AUR (flashrom-svn)
by Anton Shestakov 02 Jul '10

02 Jul '10

I want to bring attention to the following packages: flashrom-dev - http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=30391 flashrom-svn - http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=23390 flashrom-svn-new - http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=36865 They all build flashrom from the same svn repo. The second package was the first one uploaded to AUR, but it have been last updated 25 Aug 2009 and doesn't contain libftdi dependence. I think we should remove flashrom-dev and flashrom-svn-new and keep flashrom-svn (it has more votes after all). I did not contact the maintainer of the second package, but judging by the last date he updated his packages (25 Aug 2009), hopes that he will come and update flashrom-svn aren't big at all. So I suggest orphaning the package as well. Thanks in advance. P.S.: should we even keep a possibly unstable version of an utility that may erase your BIOS is another question (:

Can you please delete the packages from the AUR? Thanks, Matthias

[aur-general] Package obsolete, please remove
by Maxime Wack 30 Jun '10

30 Jun '10

The inkscape-nognome package (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=13145) is obsolete, does not work (it depends on libpoppler 0.12, current is 0.14) and is also not needed either because inkscape on [Extra] does not depend on gnome anymore. Thus I think it is safe to remove it. Thank you !

[aur-general] Dangerous package - requesting temporary removal
by Sven-Hendrik Haase 29 Jun '10

29 Jun '10

I'm requesting that "libcamp-git" (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=38213) be removed for the time being. The packager appears to be inexperienced and currently MAKING the package results in pollution of the user system if the user has root permissions. If not, the package fails to build. I notified the maintainer in the comments and I'm unsure if I'm being unfair by already bringing this up on the mailing list since he appears to be inexperienced but what the package does is rather dangerous. -- Sven-Hendrik

[aur-general] Thunderbird on x64
by Enrico Scichilone 28 Jun '10

28 Jun '10

Hey list, does anybody else has a problem with Enigmail and Thunderbird on a x86_64 system? It is disabled for quite some time now, every time an update comes in, the error shows up: ""Enigmail" could not be installed, because it is not compatible with the thunderbird-build-type (Linxu_x86_64_gcc3)." It further says to contact the author, but I'm not quite sure if it isnt better to recompile Thunderbird with different options. Have fun! enni | telsh -- "Es ist sinnlos zu sagen: Wir tun unser Bestes. Es muß dir gelingen, das zu tun, was erforderlich ist." -- Winston Churchill

[aur-general] bin32 package dependencies.
by Peter Lewis 27 Jun '10

27 Jun '10

Hi folks, I have a quick question about dependencies for the bin32 version of a package I took over recently that I'm trying to tidy up (cedega). If the 32 bit binary is running on an x86_64 base and wants to use dbus through dbus-python, does it need lib32-dbus-core as well as dbus-python, or is the python bit a sufficient wrapper? (I don't have much experience with either dbus or python!) Thanks, Pete.

[aur-general] Deletion request: vimball
by Andres P 26 Jun '10

http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=27730 Maintainer: djszapi * vimball is included in the default vim distribution, so what's the point of packaging it? It's just duplicating the job that the vim maintainer is doing. * It is packaged very badly. It installs files to /usr/share/vim/{plugin,autoload,doc} instead of using usr/share/vim/vimfiles. Maybe the maintainer realised that it conflicted with the identical files already included in the vim distribution. Although these one's are in vim72... Andres P

[aur-general] AUR-notify suggestions
by Peter Lewis 24 Jun '10

24 Jun '10

Hi folks, I have a small suggestion, which I wonder if it might be possible to easily implement for the AUR. As are we all, I'm subscribed to be "notified" about packages which I'm interested in, so I get emails when comments get posted to their page. It would be really useful, I think, if: 1) It could say in the email (preferably the subject) if I was the person who uploaded / am currently maintaining that package. and 2) If I could also be notified when a new version of the package was uploaded. What do those in the know think? Cheers, Pete.

The poppler/poppler-glib update to 0.14 includes a soname bump for poppler and poppler-glib. Packages depending on these libraries should be rebuilt.

[aur-general] Golang in AUR
by Stephen Weinberg 21 Jun '10

21 Jun '10

The aur has far too many versions of go (http://golang.org) Many of them are out of date. I went though and tried to find as many as I could. I believe most of these should be deleted. go-google-mercurial http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=31969 I think this one should be deleted. go is in community and this does not have provides/conflicts with that package. golang http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=31912 Very old. I am not even sure if it works. It is also missing provides/conflicts. go-hg http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=33695 Much better! Missing provides but has conflicts. PKGBUILD looks sound. go-lang-hg http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=31913 This one is the best. It does not have any problems. It looks like it is mostly a copy of the one from abs except it fetches the tip instead of release. It also has provides/conflicts. go-lang-hg has only one flaw, the name. I think it should be named go-hg since it is the hg of a package in community. If I am wrong on any of this, let me know. I am new to packaging and I have only made three of them. I am still learning :-). -- Stephen

Hi, kdeplasma-addons-applets-daisy http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=31392 is unmaintained and duplicates plasma-daisy-plasmoid http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=25203 so can probably be safely deleted. Incidentally, is there any naming convention for KDE plasmoid packages? A quick search reveals a whole range of approaches: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?O=0&K=plasm&do_Search=Go Appending -plasmoid seems the most popular, but having kdeplasma-addons or something simliar at the start of the package name also seems sensible.

[aur-general] Out-of-date packages in [extra]/[community]
by Andrea Scarpino 16 Jun '10

16 Jun '10

Hi DEVs/TUs, these packages are out-of-date from time and needed by none. Can I move them on AUR? I will wait 2 days because I do not know many of them, maybe someone is useful. Please TUs, let me know if you want to maintain any of these packages in [community]. [extra] - biopython - gcin - glabels - linux_logo - nss_ldap - pam_ldap - prelink - pylint - python-cheetah - python-formencode - python-sqlobject (needed by pacbuild, but does pacbuild still work?!) - python-gdata (needed by pytube in [community]) - python-vpython [community] - live-f1 - sauerbraten -- Andrea Scarpino - andreascarpino.it KDE Maintainer in Arch Linux

[aur-general] possible dup?
by jwbirdsong 15 Jun '10

15 Jun '10

I've asked this on #archlinux-aur and never got a response, figured I'd ask here for procedure (at least). Pkg http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=19673 _APPEARS _to be a out of date dup of http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=22734. (well actually my pkg is prolly considered the dup as it is a new pkg) As far as I can tell the functionality of these is exactly same. http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=19673 has been outdated for some time apparently. comments and lack of response to email seem to indicate maintainer absence. Seems some one has link to rapidshare for an up-to-date pkg on comments; that seems like bad business to me. Is it acceptable to put link to my pkg in comments? (Assuming pkg really are identical) Just ask for disown then take over and delete new pkg? Not sure what is "proper" procedure here. Thanks and sorry for long winded post. JWB

Do a 'git diff abs-20100611 my-fixes' without quotes to see the fixes i added to them. You can ignore aumix-gtk since it was updated. Also all texlive-*-doc url are broken.

[aur-general] Help with binary package

11 Jun '10

Can someone help me with godesk? http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=37635&detail=1 It used to work, then there was some update and it does not work anymore. It is not a dynamic binary, however according to what I have been reading this may have to do with a glib update. When I run the binary, I get: $ godesk (process:8174): Gdk-WARNING **: locale not supported by C library (godesk:8174): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library. Using the fallback 'C' locale. godesk: ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/getpagesize.c:32: __getpagesize: Assertion `_rtld_global_ro._dl_pagesize != 0' failed. Aborted The GDK warnings were always there, but it is the getpagesize that is failing. Since it is a binary package, I do not expect you to be able to fix it. However, I need someone to help me figure out what caused it so I can give a better report upstream. They are responsive and have fixed bugs I have given them in the past. -- Stephen

[aur-general] TU application for Thomas Dziedzic
by Thomas Dziedzic 11 Jun '10

11 Jun '10

Hello, My name is Thomas Dziedzic. I recently applied to the Junior Developer program, but I was not accepted because of the quantity of people that applied. Allan McRae suggested that I should apply to be a TU so here I am. I have contacted Ionuț Bîru (wonder) and he has agreed to sponsor me. This will mainly be a reiteration of my JD program application. Now, onto some background about me. I got started with open source software several years ago mainly out of curiosity by installing a linux distro (mandrake). Some OSs that I have used before archlinux include: mandrake (now mandriva), debian, opensuse, fedora core (now fedora), slackware, freebsd, ubuntu, and many others. Now my distro hopping days are mostly over thanks to archlinux and virtualbox. I have been using archlinux on my desktop for at least 2 years now. I go by the following nicks, td123 on irc/aur, and tomd123 on bbs/bugs/wiki. I currently maintain 78 packages in the aur. [1] I keep them mostly up to date and bug free. I know some of the packages aren't perfect but most (if not all) work. Most importantly, I don't ignore user requests/problem reports. I also go through some bug reports and help out where ever I can. I am fairly comfortable with writing packages for archlinux. I am also comfortable fixing bugs in the packages. I currently don't actively track upstream development of any packages, mainly because I don't have a need to. Occasionally, if I'm curious about certain features or just want to check out the changes/progress, I will check the repo logs or the changelog. I am mainly interested in maintaining scientific/mathematical apps along with apps that follow the unix philosophy. Initially, I would be interested in knowing if I could move sage-mathematics from the AUR to community. Also, I would be interested in adopting grass from community. I am hoping that I will get accepted so I can help improve archlinux even more! -Thomas Dziedzic [1] - http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?SeB=m&K=td123

[aur-general] Deletion request: python-dunwich
by Adam Lloyd 08 Jun '10

08 Jun '10

Hello, Please delete python-dunwich[1]. It is a misspelled and outdated version of python-dulwich[2]. (Looks like it was just a typo on the uploader's part.) Also possibly of interest: there are two PKGBUILDs for the development version of dulwich. One is python-dulwich-git[3], and the other is dulwich-bzr[4]. The project seems to be maintained at both repositories, and each package has distinct makedepends; nonetheless, they might be undesirably redundant.

in some recent updates of some packages you see more and more deb's or rpms or whatever being extracted and repacked for arch is there some aur guideline about this, i really don't like this development because why not take advantage of our bleeding edge gcc power if the source is there, why not build from it? in cases like opera it is understandable because it is not open source, but in some other cases like kalsamix i find it very disturbing maybe some other comments about this ?

[aur-general] Using yaourt in a chroot
by Nathan O. 31 May '10

31 May '10

I figured out how to use yaourt to sync in a chroot'ed environment. You can do yaourt -S pkgname -r /CHROOTDIR/root It works perfectly if anybody wants to use yaourt to install in a chroot dir

[aur-general] Removal Request for kmess-svn and kmess-svn-stable
by Federico Chiacchiaretta 30 May '10

30 May '10

Hi all, I'm asking for removal of both kmess-svn [1] and kmess-svn-stable [2], these are packages of mine but are no longer useful because Kmess' devs switched to git a few days ago, and svn repo is no longer updated. I'm providing new version of both based on new kmess git repo yet (kmess-git and kmess2.0.x-git respectively). Thank you.

[aur-general] Problem with makechrootpkg

30 May '10

I am trying to run makechrootpkg -r /aur -- -i in the dir that contains the PKGBUILD /usr/bin/makepkg: line 461: /dev/null: Permission denied I redid the chroot with mkarchroot -f /aur/root base base-devel sudo to see if that would help but still the same error. I tried another package earlier and it gave the same error, thought maybe there was something else wrong.

[aur-general] PKGBUILD-git that actually works with branches
by Philipp 29 May '10

29 May '10

Hi there. According to http://www.archlinux.org/pacman/PKGBUILD.5.html PKGBUILD-git.proto should work with git branches, but it doesn't. I did have quite some trouble to get it to work as expected, but eventually it was scj7t4 on IRC who wrote a working script for me. I'd really love to spare other packagers that trouble and would like to get the improved script into PKGBUILD-git.proto. I merged it with the original PKGBUILD-git.proto and hope it's fine this way, but please feel free to make any changes necessary. http://pastebin.com/deqgqjJe -- Regards, Philipp ----- "Wir stehen selbst enttäuscht und sehn betroffen / Den Vorhang zu und alle Fragen offen."

[aur-general] PKGBUILD that helps with VCS upstream contribution?
by Philipp 26 May '10

26 May '10

One of the reasons why I like Arch Linux so much is that it makes it easy to work together with upstream. Through makepkg I can install the latest, even VCS, version in a sane and very comfortable way. So far I've mainly been testing, reporting bugs, stuff like that, but rarely needed to contribute any code. Now if I wanted to contribute code back to a project that uses git, how would I do that without losing the comfort and safety of makepkg? I figured it should be possible to write a PKGBUILD that gets the latest upstream changes but also integrates local changes. Sadly both my bash and git skills are minimal, so I was wondering if someone already has such a PKGBUILD, for git at least and maybe for svn as well. TIA -- Regards, Philipp

[aur-general] community repo "cleanup"
by Allan McRae 22 May '10

22 May '10

Hi, I was thinking that it has been almost a year since the [community] repo switched to using the main db-scripts, but there are still a large number of packages without the package architecture in their name (the old scripts removed it). It is somewhere around 1/3 of the repo (anything build before 2009-07-14). In fact, one package (datemath) was built back in 2005! Given these packages are obviously not updated much, it would be good to give them a rebuild to get new packaging policies in place such as: - get the package architecture in the file name - build with new toolchain, CFLAGS, LDFLAGS etc - compress with .xz format - convert to arch=any as necessary - $startdir usage - package() functions - ... It would also be a good time to remove old packages that are really no longer of interest from the repo. What do people think? I can create an internal TODO list for these packages that can be slowly worked through. Allan

[aur-general] Can't upload package to AUR
by Heiko Baums 13 May '10

13 May '10

Hi, I've just built the new version of kernel26-fbcondecor (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=15603) based on the split package kernel26 from [core]/abs. It builds and installs fine and it creates every three packages. The first problem is that makepkg --source doesn't include the .install file into the package. The second problem is that I can't upload the archive which I then created with tar cfvz kernel26-fbcondecor.tar.gz kernel26-fbcondecor which includes the file kernel26.install. When I try to upload it I get a page with this error message: "Submit Use `makepkg --source` to generate source packages for submission! Invalid name: only lowercase letters are allowed." The package name is definitely correct. Is this a bug in AUR? If AUR parses the PKGBUILD's variable pkgname then it should parse the variable pkgbase instead if it's a split package because pkgname is an array in split packages. Greetings, Heiko

[aur-general] AUR Maintenance
by Connor Behan 13 May '10

13 May '10

I read in the archives that comments were 95% repaired by Firmicus and the copy with a few illegal characters is: /home/francois/aur-20100205-1859.sql.fixed2.xz on a server to which I do not yet have access. Since the comments are not back, I gather there is more to be done. Could I please go through the comments and repair sentences that make sense? i.e. "s/Th#s wor#s for kd#4 but #ot kdemod/This works for kde4 but not kdemod/" I will do this until everything is done or the only sentences left are unintelligible. The other problem is merging this with new comments that have been posted since the update. No one knows a reliable way to do this automatically, correct? And it would require adding countless database entries by hand? I am also prepared to get started on this brute force work. I will have several hours per week to devote to it. Please give me what I need to contribute! Thanks.

[aur-general] rt2860: proposed addition to community repository
by Sgt. Spoon 10 May '10

10 May '10

I would like to propose the addition of the AUR package rt2860 to the community repo. It contains the wireless drivers for the rt2860 chipsets, which come with all of Asus EEE PCs. This chipset is supported in the Arch install media but not in an actual fresh installation. In addition, there is no option to install it during an Arch install. Unfortunately, this means that those of us who do not have Ethernet connections available to us during installtime have no way of actually getting this card to work. As the package currently has 41 votes, I strongly recommend its inclusion in the community repo. If there are any TUs who would like to take this up, please do so. This package is hardly updated so it really shouldn't be too much of a hassle. Thanks in advance, sergeantspoon
