[aur-general] deprecated e17 packages removed (was:Re: [community] rebuilds (done))
by Ronald van Haren 11 Apr '10

11 Apr '10

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 09 Apr '10

09 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Hello, Package "renpy" [1] has been outdated since three months ago when version 6.10.2 was released. It's marked as "out-of-date" and have some comments supplying fixes and alternative updated PKBGUILDs (which suffers from same problems I'll point later) but there're no signs of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

[aur-general] Package Updates
by Joshua Dobiac 05 Apr '10

05 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. :)

[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).

by Érico Nunes 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

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 09 Mar '10

09 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 08 Mar '10

08 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, there I am the author of ibus-sogoupycc (http://code.google.com/p/ibus-sogoupycc/ ). These package are currently in AUR: 'ibus-sogoupycc' and 'ibus-sogoupycc-svn' and are seriously outdated, currently maintained by another person.

Hello, go-openoffice-de had no updates a long time and it is updated. The maintainer didn't manage it to update, as he said. I couldn't reach the maintainer by comment or email, so I created a new one (go-openoffice-de-lang), which works. So I request orphaning and may be refactoring go-openoffice-de-lang to go-openoffice-de. Thanks in advance Adam Hani Schakaki

[aur-general] kernels packages
by Mirco Chinelli 04 Mar '10

04 Mar '10

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! Bye Apologies in advance for my bad english. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Mirco Chinelli - Proto e-mail: infinity89(a)fastwebmail.it Gmail/GTalk/Jabber: infinity89.linux(a)gmail.com MSN: cmir89(a)hotmail.com skype: mirco.chinelli Linux Foundation Member: mirco.chinelli(a)linux.com

[aur-general] Remove AUR packages

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

This could be due to my weak search-fu skills, so I thought I'd asking here before going the manual route. /M [1]: http://bugseverywhere.org/be/show/HomePage -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) magnus＠therning．org Jabber: magnus＠therning．org http://therning.org/magnus identi.ca|twitter: magthe

[aur-general] removal request and issue with the replacing package
by Hervé Cauwelier 17 Feb '10

17 Feb '10

Hi, I packaged two simple documentation packages: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=34297 http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=34298 They come from the same source package but at that time, I didn't even know build multiple binaries from a single PKGBUILD was possible. So I've merged them in a new PKGBUILD and I ask for the removal of these two obsolete ones. But then I can't upload the new source package. I get: Invalid name: only lowercase letters are allowed. "lpod-docs-html" was accepted so I'm surprised "lpod-docs" isn't. Here is my PKGBUILD: http://pastebin.ca/1799987 Thanks for your help, -- Hervé Cauwelier

[aur-general] mass orphan aCiD2's packages
by Caleb Cushing 17 Feb '10

17 Feb '10

I don't know if it's possible... but aCiD2 left the arch community a while ago... is it possible to mass orphan his packages? or transfer them? I've picked up a good share already. At the time we were just going do them as they needed to be updated. if it's not possible mass do it, should I just request them here as needed? -- Caleb Cushing http://xenoterracide.blogspot.com

[aur-general] dpkg outdated - orphan request
by Christian Scharkus 16 Feb '10

16 Feb '10

Hi. I informed the maintainer of the dpkg package yesterday via mail that his package is outdated and he should update it. I flagged the package itself as outdated, too. I haven't received an answer yet but someone removed the flag from the package. The package itself is a depency of another outdated package (debhelper). The packages can't be build because the sauce isn't on the servers anymore and the maintainer of debhelper is unable to update his PKGBUILD because of dpkg as missing dep. So I request to orphan the dpkg package in order to enable myself to update it. Thanks and Greetings Christian Scharkus

[aur-general] Deletion Request
by Christoph 16 Feb '10

16 Feb '10

Please delete the packages ttf-adf: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=24551 and otf-adf: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=34665 The first package (ttf-adf) is outdated, no activity for 11 months. I wrote an e-mail to the maintainer because I asked him to update or orphan the package, but he has not responded for four weeks. I wanted to adopt the package, but meanwhile I think that the package should be renamed. I first thought that otf-adf would be an adequate name, but now I think that there should be the following three packages: adffonts-otf - http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=34669 adffonts-ttf - http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=34671 adffonts-type1 - http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=34672 because *all* of the fonts are published as otf-fonts, a part of them additionally as ttf, and another part of them additionally as type1. Thanks in advance. Christoph

15 Feb '10

Hi, Nobody has still adopted the virtualbox_bin package in AUR since my resignation, when I said I was looking for the next maintainer for this package. Does any TU has interest in maintaing this package? You already know, this is one of the most voted packages in AUR, but can't go to community due to licensing (redistribution) restrictions. If any TU wants to maintain it, please just take it from me until tomorrow. If nobody adopts it until tomorrow, I will look for a non-TU maintainer. Best regards, Paulo Matias

[aur-general] [signoff] devtools 0.9.0
by Pierre Schmitz 14 Feb '10

14 Feb '10

Hi TUs and DEVs, I just packaged a new set of devtools today. I'll put it into testing first; so please give it a try and let me know if there are any problems. And of course I'd appreciate if you could also drop a line if everything works as expected. A warning for those who use makechrootpkg: the rw and union subdirs are no longer used and cannot be used with the new tools. Aufs is no longer needed. For details see http://projects.archlinux.org/devtools.git/log/ The most noticeable changes are: Use the host's SRCDEST and PKGDEST if defined Reset umask before touching the chroot. make sure all files are owned by nobody before building Move build and package logs to WORKDIR, otherwise it is lost Create a working copy instead of using an union layer Read pacman cache dir from pacman.conf or cli Reduce verbosity to a sane minimum simplify and optimize upload process Replace expensive merge with delete and copy Add missing -n option to getopt list for mkarchroot abort if not all local source files are under version control Greetings, Pierre -- Pierre Schmitz, https://users.archlinux.de/~pierre

[aur-general] decrease package workload in [community]
by Ronald van Haren 12 Feb '10

12 Feb '10

Hi TUs, I'd like to drop some/most of my packages in [community] to some of you guys so I can focus more on packages in [core] and [extra], and maybe do some coding when I find time. For now I'll keep maintaining them as most of these belong in a binary repo (though some I don't mind dropping to unsupported), so let's see where this gets us. Just shoot or simply take something you're interested in. Some packages need to be taken as group, but that seems fairly obvious. Ronald

[aur-general] plz orphan perl-uri-find
by Caleb Cushing 11 Feb '10

11 Feb '10

or contact the author... I was able to get a hold of him about a month ago... he said he'd lost his password to aur and couldn't find a reset. I suggested that he contact on here. seems he still owns the package and hasn't updated it so I assume he didn't do that (I'm just joining the list now). I'd say just orphaning it will work. -- Caleb Cushing http://xenoterracide.blogspot.com

[aur-general] shaman
by Allan McRae 11 Feb '10

11 Feb '10

Any TU want to continue maintaining aqpm+shaman in [community]? At least aqpm needs updating and both need rebuilt for the latest qt/polkit-qt. Shaman may need updating but the upstream versioning is strange so I have no idea if that is a beta release or not... I do not have anything Qt based on my system and do not feel motivated to download it to continue maintaining this package myself. At the moment it does not need kdelibs, but in the future this will become mandatory. Again, a dependency I do not wish to download. If I have no response by tomorrow, I will move it to the AUR.

[aur-general] Bug in perl-text-bibtext build script for x86_64 platform
by Ted Pavlic 11 Feb '10

11 Feb '10

AUR -- I've sent a message to the package maintainer about this, but it has been a while since there has been an update, and so I wanted to send something here too for comment and archival purposes. At the moment, the perl-text-bibtex package fails on x86_64 systems because it tries to link libraries built without -fPIC to object files built with -fPIC. On x86_64 machines, when building the perl-text-bibtex package, it is necessary to add: -fPIC to the btparse compiler flags before running "make". That is, the PKGBUILD should... (1) Download Text::BibTeX from CPAN (2) Run "perl Makefile.PL", which will fetch a btparse distribution and untar it into a directory that it symlinks to "btparse" (3) Change to "btparse" and add "-fPIC" to CFLAGS, CPPFLAGS, and CXXFLAGS in the Makefile and src/Makefile files (4) Change back to the Text::BibTeX root and run "make" Otherwise, the linker will complain because the Perl libraries will be built with -fPIC and the btparse libraries will not be... so they'll be incompatible for linking. ALTERNATIVELY, the PKGBUILD could... (1) Download a btparse distribution and untar it into directory "A" (creating "A/btparse-0.35/") (2) Modify A/btparse-0.35/Makefile and A/btparse-0.35/src/Makefile as described above (3) Download the Text::BibTeX distribution from CPAN and also untar it into directory "A" (creating A/Text-BibTeX-0.38/") (4) complete the Text::BibTeX installation as usual (it will find the btparse distribution that shares a parent directory with it) Otherwise, perl-text-bibtex fails to build on x86_64 systems. --Ted

[aur-general] Packages for adoption
by Allan McRae 11 Feb '10

11 Feb '10

Here is a list of packages I no longer wish to maintain in [community]. They all hardly ever need updating, apart from winetricks. If no-one adopts them in the next few days, then they will be dropped to the AUR. I do not think I need to orphan the packages for others to adopt them, but let me know if I do. gimmix (+libnxml) gnome-cups-manager gnome-subtitles gnomebaker gwget mozplugger pida pyenchant (needs renamed) python-pyalsaaudio python-sexy supertuxkart winetricks wine_gecko xfce4-places-plugin Also, I have orphaned plib which is required by simgear (maintained by Sergey) Allan

A lot of stuff is of course still in boxes but that's how it works anyway isn't it (if you don't miss it after 2 months throw it away)... You can consider me active again.

I think we have 2 solutions there, but I don't know which one is more "elegant": - create 3 new packages and delete unicap - rename unicap to libunicap and create 2 new packages Which one should we choose?

Hello, There is a package called zim in [extra]. I've been using it, but today i realised that zim is rewritten with python rather than perl. Then I removed old version and switched to pyzim in AUR (Because package in [extra] is not updated for a while). However, there is a package called zim-nightly* in AUR, which is -*very*- obsolete :P (It's not updated for more than a year). I think it should be deleted, shouldn't it? *: zim-nightly => http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=16408 -- H.Gökhan SARI hsa2(a)difuzyon.net

It seems that it was moved from extra to community repo. Is that correct? But the package is still in the extra db. It's in the community svn but the package isn't in the community repo yet.
