[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] Package deletion: upc (or rename to gccupc)
by Eduardo Martins Lopes 22 May '10

Hello all, I uploaded a package with the wrong name, the package upc should be named gccupc for UPC is a programming language for which there are several compilers (gccupc is only one of it).

[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

[aur-general] perl prereleases request to make official decision to deviate from general guidleines
by Caleb Cushing 04 May '10

04 May '10

I'm working on a PKGBUILD for perl 5.12 and I notice that it's providing 20 some odd prerelease modules. I'm annoyed but I can't do anything about it. The general PKGBUILD guidelines say use the same as upstream unless there is a hyphen. so for a perl prerelease of 0.90_1 that guideline follows to release it as exactly the same. However 0.90_1 is == 0.90.1 and greater than 0.90 which it is a prerelease for on cpan. I'd like to suggest that for perl the official guideline be to make the version 0.90_pre1 Dist::Zilla a release automation tool also allows for using a format _TRIAL which is not yet popular on cpan but does happen should pacman add a _trial ? to the list of options? I think we could just use _pre here too. -- Caleb Cushing http://xenoterracide.blogspot.com

[aur-general] TU application: Jan Steffens
by Jan Steffens 24 Apr '10

24 Apr '10

Greetings, My name is Jan Alexander Steffens and I'm a 22 year old CS student living in Karlsruhe, Germany. I've been introduced to Linux in high school, where the administration team (which mainly consisted of students) were avid supporters of free software. Since then, I went through quite a few distributions: SuSE, Mandrake, Fedora, Ubuntu, Debian. Gentoo was the first distribution that got me interested in getting to know the internals a bit more. About a year ago, a fellow CS student introduced me to Arch. After I blew up my Fedora installation (accidentally wrote to /dev/root), I chose to give Arch a try. I got hooked. Its simplicity really makes it a joy to tinker with. :) Especially creating packages and offering them to others (AUR) is something Arch made easy. I currently run two Arch systems, one on my laptop and one on a headless box mainly acting as a router. Both are getting packages from [testing]. Arch is the first distribution I actually started contributing back to. I began frequenting the Archlinux channels on Freenode, now and then helping out others and asking my own questions. I reported bugs I found, and I uploaded and maintain 15 packages in the AUR [1]. I use Pulseaudio on my laptop: Some of my packages in the AUR center on it, and I gave the wiki page on Pulseaudio an overhaul. I'm interested in taking over maintenance of the pulseaudio packages in [community] and improve Pulseaudio on Arch Linux. A few days ago, I finally got up the nerve to write about my gripes with the gvim package and propose a solution [2]. I was overwhelmed with the positive response. Now Dan Griffiths approached me and offered to sponsor my application as a TU. Thank you, Dan. I hope I'm getting accepted as TU and we can work together on improving this great distribution. :-) Regards, Jan "heftig" Steffens 1: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?SeB=m&K=heftig 2: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/19087

I've submitted a bug against lablgtk2 to change the compile options (as an aside, the extra version is broken right now anyway), and if that doesn't come through I'll resubmit as something like lablgtk2-opt (includes the optimized machine code objects of the library as well). Many thanks, and sorry for the inconvenience! --G

[aur-general] pure-ftpd-mysql out of date.
by Christoffer Hirth 21 Apr '10

21 Apr '10

pure-ftpd-mysql has been flagged out of date for quite some time now. I have also sent a mail to the maintainer without getting any reply. Attached is a pkgbuild for latest version. I can maintain this (if anyone like) as I use it regularly on my server :) (NB: Seems also like pure-ftpd-tls could be removed now that package from extra is already compiled with tls...)

Hi ! The polipo package has been flagged as out of date for some time now. (the new stable version is from the 31/01/10) I've made an updated pkgbuild, emailed the maintainer some days ago with it and got no answer. The package is still not up to date. So I'd like to adopt that package and start maintaining it. Thank you !

[aur-general] tinyxml package in AUR
by Hubert Grzeskowiak 18 Apr '10

18 Apr '10

Hi guys, the tinyxml package (a C++ lib for handling xml files) from AUR is expired for some time already and the maintainer seems to not have the time to update it. I've put together my own one, but I'm unsure how I should put it on the web. Creating another package in AUR seems a wrong decision, so I thought somebody here can replace the original one. Beside the version update it also has STL support enabled and it creates shared libs. Here's the PKGBUILD: # Contributor: Hubert Grzeskowiak <arch at nemesis13 dot de> pkgname=tinyxml pkgver=2.6.1 _pkgver=2_6_1 pkgrel=2 pkgdesc="A simple, small, C++ XML parser that can be easily integrated into other programs." url='http://www.grinninglizard.com/tinyxml/' arch=('any') license=('zlib') source="http://sourceforge.net/projects/${pkgname}/files/${pkgname}/${pkgver}/${pkg…" md5sums=('60f92af4f43364ab0c6d5b655e804bd3') build() { cd $srcdir/$pkgname install -d $pkgdir/usr/include cp *.{h,cpp} $pkgdir/usr/include/ rm $pkgdir/usr/include/xmltest.cpp sed -i.orig -e 's/TINYXML_USE_STL := NO/tINYXML_USE_STL := YES/' Makefile make || return 1 rm -f xmltest.o g++ -shared -o libtinyxml.so.0.$pkgver -Wl,-soname,libtinyxml.so.0 *.o || return 1 install -d $pkgdir/usr/lib install -m755 libtinyxml.so.0.$pkgver $pkgdir/usr/lib/ cd $pkgdir/usr/lib ln -s libtinyxml.so.0.$pkgver libtinyxml.so.0 ln -s libtinyxml.so.0.$pkgver libtinyxml.so } -- Have a nice day Nemesis#13

[aur-general] beecrypt build issues

beecrypt fails to build if I just run makepkg having an issue ( see below ) weird thing is if I cd to src/beecrypt-4.2.1 and run ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --without-java --disable-openmp && make and then I change back to the beecrypt directory and run makepkg then mkpkg works...

On the third of march I sent a mail to the maintainer of tcl84 and tk84 with a modified version of the PKGBUILDs that is compatible with tcl and tk from extra. A few days later he answered saying he would update the packages according to my suggestions, but he didn't. So I sent him another mail, but he didn't answer. A possible solution to this issue is to orphan the packages so that I can update them. What about it?

FYI, I just removed the deprecated e17 packages. I'll probably add some new libs in the next build as we're nearing release of the first ever stable e17 release and the package list is mostly finalized (elementary-svn comes to mind). Either way, these packages were mostly broken so you can probably remove them from your machines if you have them installed (remove package list at the bottom of this mail).

[aur-general] Orphan request: renpy
by Franz Rogar 10 Apr '10

10 Apr '10

Hello, Package "renpy" [1] has been outdated since three months ago when version 6.10.2 was released. It's marked as "out-of-date" and have some comments supplying fixes and alternative updated PKBGUILDs (which suffers from same problems I'll point later) but there're no signs of maintenance. PKGBUILD has also some other major problems that should be fixed: - It doesn't support x86_64. It needs lib32 dependencies which are not indicated. - It doesn't rely on pygame (or python-game) at all, so it should be removed. - It relies on java-runtime and zenity (for folder selection), which are unset. - Etc. I contacted mantainer via e-mail but have got no answer from him. Therefore, I request if package renpy [1] could be orphaned so other user/dev can take care of it. I can take it over as I'm currently mantaining renpy64 (renpy with support for "pure" Arch64). [1] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=23983 -- Thanks in anyway, Franz Rogar

[aur-general] renpy native x86_64 support problem
by Franz Rogar 08 Apr '10

08 Apr '10

Hello, I've a problem with current renpy and I don't know what can I do. My problem is this: - AUR renpy doesn't support pure x86_64 system, even thought PKGBUILD says it does. So, I built from sources a native version which "adds" support for x86_64 and, consecuently, new problems arised: - PKGBUILD can't be built but as root - Because you need to source a new environment, python image support lacks some formats (I don't know why but it does) and, therefore, renpy fails to start. The funny thing is that if you build it in a terminal command by command, it builds perfectly and without any error at all. So, I'm on a dilemma: - If I release the PKGBUILD, it will be useless. - I can create a new PKGBUILD which grab precompiled x86_64 runtime files (basically just .so files about ~5MB I think, haven't checked) and applies patches as needed. - I can release a full binary version (which I dislike). - I can't find any other solution. I'd pick for second option up, but AUR doesn't support binary and I don't have a hosting to host it. Does anyone could give me any suggestion on what to do? -- Thanks in anyway, Franz Rogar

Hi there, I know its late to that and i should sent this earlier (its one year away), but I thought about going back sometime. So, my life changed in so many ways.. I love Arch, I defend that every time and still using that, but I couldnt stay in TU position just in name, I felt I should participate to still here. Was a learning time be part of Arch TU, some friends and many much learning. Sorry for any problem in that time. I love all people who help me and every one I couldnt know yet. If future reserve for me more time and less troubles, maybe I came back help Arch again. For now, this is a thank you, all of you. :) -- Kessia Pinheiro Linux System Administrator

Hi, This message is addressed to the TU. I just set myself inactive. To make things easier, I'm putting my community packages up for adoption.

[aur-general] Package Updates
by Joshua Dobiac 06 Apr '10

06 Apr '10

I was installing a package that was out-of-date, but I'm not sure how to contact the package manager to update it. A search for the package reveals that it has already been flagged as out-of-date. Basically, what I want to know is: if the package maintainer is not updating the package, is there a way to resubmit the package with an update or otherwise take over management of the package? I don't want to step on anyone's toes and it's a small fix, but it's a pain to have an install fail and then have to find the problem and fix it and I'd like help anyone else (though the universe of individuals is probably 2) who might try to use the package in the future. Best Regards, Joshua Dobiac

[aur-general] Newbie question about updating package
by Franz Rogar 05 Apr '10

05 Apr '10

Hello, I've just finished patching fontforge-cvs PKGBUILD using libpng14 patch in stable. I'd upload it but I've an important question: If I send the package it will update the current one? It uses the same pkg name. Or do I need to do something prior? Main differences between this and the "out-of-date" flagged one in AUR are: - It's a "true" cvs package. Old one just pick a dated release. - It applies libpng14 patch from stable release so it can be built again now that libpng14 is the default version. - It enables type3 support, devicetables, python scripting and double precision. -- Thanks in anyway, Franz Rogar

[aur-general] [community] rebuilds
by Evangelos Foutras 05 Apr '10

05 Apr '10

Hi fellow TUs, I took the liberty to rebuild lots of packages that weren't mine. I hope I didn't mess anything up, but in case I did and you get a bug report regarding the new packages, feel free to re-assign it to me. I wouldn't expect someone else to cleanup my mess. Now, the list is almost finished, with around 13 [community] packages remaining. I'm afraid most of them don't build cleanly and probably require some troubleshooting and patching. Furthermore, there are 4 packages with sub-1% usage which I feel should just be removed. These are: dvbshout (0.04 %) mmap (0.04 %) netsurf (0.77 %) rusxmms (0.64 %) What do you think; shall we drop them? Cheers. :)

Hi, I've just noticed pkgver is not interpreted when uploading to AUR.

[aur-general] Duplicate packages/Orphaning request (go-openoffice-XX)
by Adam Hani Schakaki 18 Mar '10

18 Mar '10

Hello, Here are some duplicate packages in AUR: go-oo-bin-base: in official repo go-oo-ru: new package is named go-openoffice-ru go-openoffice-es: new package is name go-openoffice.org-es go-openoffice-sv-lang: duplicate to go-openoffice-sv Further I request for orphaning go-openoffice-es, go-openoffice-pt-br and go-openoffice-sv, the maintainer aren't updating it, and just the filename of the downloads changed and you cannot say that this is much work. So I would update it, if it will be orphaned. Thanks in advance Adam Hani Schakaki

[aur-general] How to name package?
by Dave 15 Mar '10

15 Mar '10

I would like to create a new package for lightning, which is the calendar extension for Thunderbird. I currently manage lightning-nightly for 32-bit systems, but for 64-bit systems (which I'm using now), I have to build the extension from source. This process initially downloads a lot of files, so if I created a package for this, it would take an hour to download and build a 1.2MB extension. Thus, I was going to build the extension on my computer and upload the XPIs to a server. However, I'm not sure what I should name the package and keep track of the versions. The process is: use mercurial to clone the comm-central code, then run a python script which will update the source with cvs. After that, I can run make to build the lightning extension, upload it to a server, and then allow anyone to download it. To update, I need only to run the python script and rebuild. Any suggestions on how the package should be named? Maybe -hg or -src? I'm also not sure which package version to use (since I may only update the XPI itself once a week/month).

[aur-general] Newcomer
by Érico Nunes 14 Mar '10

14 Mar '10

Hello, I'm a newcomer to this list. I've been using Arch for about a year and today I decided to learn what it takes to make an Arch package. I took a simple app I had developed in C++/OpenGL, learned how to use autotools to compile and install it. Had been using handcoded Makefiles before. Then, I followed the guidelines to write a PKGBUILD for it and went about making my package installable/uninstallable via pacman. Took a couple hours to grasp it right, but now that I understand how it works, I love Arch even more. I feel like helping the community and I think maintaining packages would be a starting point. How do I go about starting it, shall I just search for orphans/out of date that should/could be fixed, take them and thats it? :) Érico de Morais Nunes Engenharia de Computação Universidade Federal do Pampa Campus Bagé

Hello - There is a package named [snd-ls](http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=15580) which is orphaned and quite out of date.

Or should I just upload my PKGBUILD and ask for the old, orphaned one to be deleted? P.S. The manpage is being installed -rwx-r-x-r-x, but in the tarball it's -rw-r--r--. How can I fix this?

[aur-general] orphan request midisport-firmware 1.2-1

Hi TUs, could one of you please orphan the package midisport-firmware 1.2-1 http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=25765? I emailed the maintaining user about 10 days ago, but did not get an answer yet. Version is not out of date, but i'd like to adopt this package for several reason: -sources need to be patched, use of outdated udev command; does not compile without patch -PKGBUILD does not contain a valid source string -maintainer mail address in PKGBUILD is no more valid (mail account deleted) -source udev.rules do not work -i like my little midisport box so much :) All the changes i'd like to add to the PKGBUILD were already mentioned in other user's comments.

[aur-general] I think I need my package removed from AUR...
by kosmici-atakuja＠wp.pl 10 Mar '10

10 Mar '10

Hello, I made a package containing the run-mailcap script that is required for sup mail to run properly. Beforehand I checked with pkgfile if run-mailcap is available anywhere in Arch repos and AUR and it said it wasn't. So I made the package and upload it to AUR to make life simple for sup mail users. However, turns out run-mailcap is a part of the mime-support package as it was pointed out to me in the forums. So now there's no point in making a separate run-mailcap I think... If you feel it should be deleted, please delete it, it's here: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=35334 The only reason I can think of for having a separate run-mailcap package is for users that are minimalists - since they only need this one script, not the whole package for sup.

[aur-general] TU resignation
by bardo 10 Mar '10

10 Mar '10

It's with great sadness that I feel the need to leave my position as a Trusted User in Arch. In the last few months I haven't been able to keep up with my duties, and I feel that resigning is the best thing I can do at the moment, since real life is taking much more time than there is in a day and I can't keep up with the high standards that Arch deserves. I'd like to thank each and everyone at the Arch team, this has been a fun ride and I learned a lot in these years. Hopefully I'll be back contributing someday, maybe not in the same way, but whatever. Surely I'll stick around, however, as much as my free time allows me. At the moment I own a few dozens of packages in [community], and since I'd like to make the transition as smooth as possible, a little report follows, I marked as OOD the ones which need to be updated, adopt the ones you like. I hope this is helpful. Take care, Corrado = AVR packages = The AVR family is badly in need of some love. The wonderful djgera did all the grunt work (see http://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/aur-general/2010-March/008369.html) now someone just has to take these little guys and update them. As with every toolchain, though, there's quite a bit to catch up with, and a whole lot to learn. Not for the faint of heart. * avrdude (OOD) * avr-libc (OOD) * binutils-avr (OOD) * gcc-avr (OOD) = PulseAudio & friends = These are really popular and still hope to go in [extra], because a lot of [extra] software could depend on them. The pulseaudio PKGBUILD needs some time to become friends with, not mentioning the package configuration, but if you stick to "stable" releases and refuse to patch the hell out of it as its author does in RedHat, you'll be fine. One open bug: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/18527 * pulseaudio * gstreamer0.10-pulse * libao-pulse * libasyncns * padevchooser * paman * paprefs * pavucontrol * pavumeter * rtkit * xmms-pulse = Eclipse Plug-Ins = Mostly low-maintenance packages, they usually just need a relbump thanks to my super-unreadably-duper-perfectly-working PKGBUILDs. * eclipse-emf: needs to be ported to -any * eclipse-gef (OOD) * eclipse-mylyn (OOD) * eclipse-phpeclipse * eclipse-subclipse (OOD) * eclipse-ve = {G,W}ammu = A couple of programs to manage cell phones. Not always the easiest of builds but it's been stable for quite some time now. * gammu * wammu = Gmusicbrowser = My favorite music player, a tricky PKGBUILD (read: do everything by hand) but the developer is very friendly and helpful, and incredibly fast to reply. Optdepends hell. * gmusicbrowser * flac123 * perl-gstreamer * perl-gstreamer-interfaces (OOD) * perl-gtk2-mozembed = Musepack = Upstream releases are rare and not exactly packager-friendly. * musepack-tools * libcuefile * libreplaygain = Beast = Hasn't seen a release in ages, but it returned active upstream a few months ago. Usually needs patches. * beast * bse-alsa = Other = * acerhk: small kernel module, i686-only, no new releases, hassle free, just relbump * freemind: unvaluable mind-mapper, still waiting for the much anticipated 0.9.0, which will most likely arrive with Godot. Easy. * gnormalize: how to kill the unix do-one-thing-n-do-it-well paradigm in one shot. Optdepends hell #2 * gourmet (OOD): a recipe manager. Not that I can cook. * mldonkey: a p2p app for the edonkey network, gave me a few head scratches for the rc script. * opcion: a nice font viewer written in java, unmaintained but working very well. * rss-glx: 3d screen-savers, usually gives a few problems with .desktop files. See http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/18300 * scite (OOD): small text editor with some nice features, could be more friendly. * solfege (OOD): piece of cake! Frequent point releases, the development branch is stable, but I don't remember why I switched to it back in the day. * stress (OOD): small unix utility, clean and easy. * timidity-freepats: hasn't seen a release in ages and probably will be around forever. Zero maintenance, nice to have in repos. Could be ported to -any. * vlock: small unix utility, clean and easy. * wavegain: small util, optdepend for gnormalize * xsensors (OOD): X11 sensor viewing util

[aur-general] packages with lots of docs?
by Chris Brannon 09 Mar '10

09 Mar '10

Hi, I'm maintaining ipython in [community]. Right now, the PKGBUILD just removes all the docs. I can see the reasoning. The compressed package size grows nearly five-fold when they are included. I have several options. I can keep on stripping docs, I can include the docs in the ipython package, or I can generate a split package. I wrote a PKGBUILD that produces the split packages ipython and ipython-doc. I noticed that koffice from [extra] has its docs split. But nobody seems to be doing that for anything in [community]. So should I go ahead and commit my split PKGBUILD? -- Chris

Hi guys! In the last days i have experienced some problems with kernel26-bfs and relative nvidia drivers. I don't think it's packagers' fault. But the only way I used to make the kernel package work it out is to use the PKGBUILD from the arch repository adapted to my needs.PKGBUILD for splitted packages is the main difference. I guess that could reduce maintainers' workload. I read we can't use this way to make packages, but why? Thanks!

[aur-general] Please delete stasks-manager-plasmoid
by Panos Filip 03 Mar '10

03 Mar '10

Hello to everyone ! I was the contributor of stasks-manager-plasmoid PKGBUILD. There have been no updates for a long time and it's replaced by smooth-tasks-plasmoid. Please delete it, it's not useful (and it can't be built upon KDE 4.4) any more... Regards, Panos Filip

[aur-general] Away
by Andrea Scarpino 02 Mar '10

02 Mar '10

Hi DEVs and TUs, my exams session is over, and I need a short holiday in London. I will be away starting from some hours to 2nd afternoon/night (GMT). I am building KDE 4.4.1 packages and everything seems fine. Before to go, I will upload them into my staging/extra dir, so you can take them. This minor release will be released 2nd March; I should come back in time to run /arch/db-extra, anyway Ronald and Pierre are here for everything. Free to fix high or medium priority bugs assigned to me or to update my packages. Thanks. Best Regards -- Andrea `bash` Scarpino Arch Linux Developer

[aur-general] Remove AUR packages
by Erol Grahm 01 Mar '10

01 Mar '10

Hi, Since I'm a new PKGBUILD creator and learning, my first packages we're messed up, I'm sorry to bother you but could you remove the following packages for me (me, Corex is the creator and maintainer of these): Package - Reason cn3d - Binary's gives an "Illegal Instruction" at launch, think its kernel related since the custom kernel on my Media Desktop works just fine, we're currently working on another solution. wxwidgets-wxall - Made a mistake by naming this, it's actually wxwidgets-motif but we need it for NCBI package so the build flags is going to be different, we're making a new package on this too. (Cn3D is part of NCBI sources) Thank You Regards Corex

[aur-general] Removal request - soqt-svn, pivy-svn, coin-mercurial
by Michele Mocciola 28 Feb '10

28 Feb '10

Please remove: - soqt-svn (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=27293) - pivy-svn (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=32334) - coin-mercurial (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=34241) SVN version of SoQt and Pivy are no more updated, just because developers now use mercurial (see soqt-hg (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=34865) and pivy-hg (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=34864) ). Also coin has past to mercurial, so I created "coin-mercurial", however I think it's better to change its name to "coin-hg". Thanks, mickele

[aur-general] [orphan request] mlmmj
by Pierre Chapuis 27 Feb '10

27 Feb '10

Hello, I would like mlmmj to be orphaned so that I can adopt it. It has been flagged out of date for a long time, I have posted a working PKGBUILD in the comments 10 days ago and I have emailed its maintainer without an answer. Package link: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=12175

[aur-general] vim-git : removal request
by Xavier Chantry 26 Feb '10

26 Feb '10

To quote my comment on http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=31000 : vim now has an official hg repository, which obsoletes the unofficial git one. This means the git repo will be stopped at some point. And that I will delete this package in one week or so. I hope the 2 users can move to vim-hg :) http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=33422 Too bad, it was a cool AUR ID !

For those who want to check their xz packages before the next namcap released I have added the relevant patches to namcap 2.4: https://users.archlinux.de/~pierre/packages/namcap-2.4-1.1-i686.pkg.tar.xz https://users.archlinux.de/~pierre/packages/namcap-2.4-1.1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz And the PKGBUILD including the patches can be found at https://users.archlinux.de/~pierre/packages/namcap-2.4-1.1.src.tar.gz Greetings, Pierre -- Pierre Schmitz, https://users.archlinux.de/~pierre
