[aur-general] Please orphan dnsmap
by Sébastien Duquette 26 Feb '10

26 Feb '10

Hi, Please orphan dnsmap, it has not been updated for I while and I plan to maintain it. I contacted the current owner (anoxia) and he says he doesn't have access to his account anymore. Thank you, Sébastien Response from anoxia : Hey, please feel free to update the PKGBUILD and make yourself the maintainer, I no longer have access to my AUR account and also have not been using Arch for the last 4 months, so it would be fine for you to adopt this package =) Thanks & Regards, Jinx

[aur-general] Removal Request (bin32-crossover-games)
by Sheepeh 25 Feb '10

25 Feb '10

I think this is the correct way to request a removal, but please tell me if it isn't! =) If you could please remove my package at http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=34985 (bin32-crossover-games) as it's now redundant; a fellow user informed me how to make a package install different deps depending on arch. The "crossover-games" package now handles both i686 and x86_64 equally well, so I'll just keep that one maintained. Apologies for making it redundant quite so quickly! -- Using Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/mail/

[aur-general] Please remove AUR package "syntensity-bzr"
by Sven-Hendrik Haase 24 Feb '10

24 Feb '10

Hey, please remove "syntensity-bzr" (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=33464) as it is completely outdated (repo changed, dvcs changed, build system changed) and is succeeded by "intensityengine-git" (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=33464) The name of "intensityengine" is also more fitting since "syntensity" is the project rather than the technical basis. -- Sven-Hendrik

[aur-general] Orphan request
by F B 24 Feb '10

24 Feb '10

Hi, I saw that the et-sdl-sound maintainer (http://aur.archlinux.org/account.php?Action=AccountInfo&ID=9985) doesn't update that package (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=9777) and doesn't respond to aur comments, other packages like enemy-territory need to be corrected (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=2063) I sent him an email the 3rd of this month without receiving a reponse. So I'm thinking he is inactive, many of his packages are outdated so, maybe, a good idea is to orphan all his packages, right? Thank you in advance.

[aur-general] Removal Request: libwebkit package
by pyther 19 Feb '10

19 Feb '10

I would like to request that the following packages be removed: libwebkit-light - outdated and the only thing that appears to be different than the official package is the depend of gstreamer. However, from my understanding gstreamer is needed for html5 video. http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=22555 libwebkit-anjal - outdated and as wonder stated the patch has likely been committed upstream http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=30219 Rename: libwebkit-newest - out of date, hasn't been updated for over a month (currently at 1.1.21) This version is a development build, so I would I suggest if the package is not deleted it be renamed to libwebkit-development http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=28958 ~pyther

[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

by Caleb Cushing 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

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

I'd say just orphaning it will work. -- Caleb Cushing http://xenoterracide.blogspot.com

[aur-general] shaman
by Allan McRae 12 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] brother-mfc210c-fixed-version 1.0.0-3 - outdated
by Emanuel Couto 03 Feb '10

03 Feb '10

Hi, I have declared the brother-mfc210c-fixed-version 1.0.0-3 as outdated as there were two orphan packages that were essentially the same, but with a correction in the licenses. The new packages are now managed by a user that wanted to fix some bugs in the old package. He tried to contact the old package manager (tomekk228) via email with no success. I believe tomek228 does not manage his packages for some reason and his manager title should be removed. Cheers -- Emanuel Couto nº 25816

[aur-general] Please remove my package from AUR

I need somebody to help me and erase my package. I mistakenly shared my PKGBUILD file for ktorrent-3.3.3 because it wasn't available in the repos for some time, I thought people might want to use it. Turns out it was a mistake and besides ktorrent-3.3.3 is now available in the repos. I did all this because I thought that I can remove my package from AUR just by myself but I was wrong again :) I guess I'm new to this. Please remove the package.

Hey guys, Coming Monday I'll get the key of my new apartment where I'll be living together with my girlfriend. That's all fine and such but before I can move our stuff I have to do quite a bit of work in the new apartment. This all means that I'll still be around and try to keep up with package releases (I'll make sure everything is up to date before Monday) during that period, but I won't be able to quickly respond to urgent matters or quickly fix bugs. I'll be checking my e-mail regularly though so I'll be able to ask for help if needed. Sometime I also have to arrange an internet connection there but I hope to have this arranged before I move. I'm not too sure how long this will take but I hope to be living there in ~1 month. Feel free to fix any of my packages during that period if you see necessary. Ronald

[aur-general] TU Resignation
by Paulo Matias 02 Feb '10

02 Feb '10

Hi all, Besides loving Arch, a few reasons made me leave it as my main distribution. I could surely adapt Arch to my new personal needs, due to its simplicity and flexibility, but due to lack of time and real life pressure, it would not be possible anytime soon. So I'm resigning as a Trusted User. I'd like to thank you all for giving me this outstanding opportunity and experience. Special thanks to hdoria, angvp, bardo, wonder, foutrelis, ornitorrincos, stefanhusmann, sergej, pierre and all you that helped me or worked with me on a package. I have a few packages at community. I hope you can adopt some of them. In special, I'd like to ask that if some TU uses OSS frequently, he adopts it, as this package may require some special care, being a driver package. Most of the users that ask help in the OSS IRC channel are Arch users, so we should have a good amount of OSS users. Regarding packages in unsupported, it would be nice if some TU could adopt virtualbox_bin. This package needs some care and it would be nice to merge bdheeman's dkms work (virtualbox-sun package) so the duplicates can be removed. Also it would be nice if someone could contact the VirtualBox developers (there is even an irc channel - #vbox) and offer to make this package official. I mean, they have a repository for debian-based and for redhat-based distributions, so maybe they could make an archlinux repository and offer directly there an official ready-to-install package if some help is offered to them. I will list below my community and unsupported packages to ease adoption. [community] - oss-related (oss, skype-oss) - djvu-related (djview4, pdf2djvu -> pstreams) - lua-related (luadoc, luafilesystem, luajit, lualogging) - netsurf-related (netsurf -> hubbub, libnsbmp, libnsgif, libparserutils) - latex-related (texmaker) [unsupported] - vbox-related (virtualbox_bin) - oss-related (xulrunner-oss) - electronics-related (alliance, chipmunksystem, logisim) - lua-related (iup, cd, im, gnuplot-luaterm) - ion3-related (ion-3, trayion) - djvu-related (gsdjvu) - irc-related (kvirc-svn, qirssi) - driver stuff (samsutools) - other stuff (chestnut-dialer, eresi-svn, python-mpmath, uspnet) By the number of votes, some of them can even go to community if some TU is interested. Packages virtualbox_bin-1, virtualbox_bin-2, virtualbox_bin-3_0 are legacy stuff requested by users to be left out. The netcfg-rt73 and qc-usb packages are legacy stuff that are probably useless nowadays, unless someone uses an old custom kernel. Best regards, Paulo Matias

[aur-general] Warning 2/2: removing kde-unstable; KDE 4.4 in testing
by Pierre Schmitz 01 Feb '10

01 Feb '10

Hi DEVs and TUs, I am about to move the first wave of KDE 4.4 RC3 packages into testing. These will be x86_64 at first; i686 packages might follow later this evening. There won't be any l10n packages. (they are not needed for testing and rebuild and we'll save disk space and bandwidth this way) The same Information about kde-unstable now apply to testing: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DeveloperWiki:KDE#Users Note that the kde- unstable repository will be removed soon. If you update you have to use the following commands as pacman is not able to resolve the dependencies otherwise: % pacman -Sy --asdeps qt % pacman -Su All developers and TUs should check their Qt or KDE related packages. Even if they still work you might want to adjust the dependencies. There are some like phonon etc. which are no longer covered by Qt. In general you want at least depend on kdebase-runtime for most apps. (use namcap but don't trust it ;-)) Greetings, Pierre PS: I have problems with akonadi and mysql 5.1.43. Downgrading to mysql 5.1.42 solves the problem. Can anybody confirm this issue? (test with "akonadictl start") -- Pierre Schmitz, https://users.archlinux.de/~pierre

[aur-general] TU Resignation abhidg
by Abhishek Dasgupta 30 Jan '10

30 Jan '10

Hi all, So long ... Real life has been getting busier and busier lately, with my final year in university coming up. I've not been able to devote much time to Arch in the last month at all; thus I'm resigning as a Trusted User. I've a few packages in [community], many of them are scientific packages which I used once. I hope someone will take them up, otherwise they can move to unsupported. Arch was my first exposure to open-source contribution and it's been a great two years! Thanks to everyone (Hugo, Aaron, Allan, and others who have helped me) and also Varun, thanks to whom I could become a part of this community. PS I really hope someone makes a stable distro out of the Arch core (Starch? :) ). One of the main reasons for quitting is that I don't have a reliable internet connection where I'm most of the time, and can't keep up with a rolling release any more. PPS The zsi package has a missing dep (python-setuptools). Could someone fix it? Thanks! Regards, Abhishek Dasgupta

[aur-general] Orphaning / giving away packages
by Pierre Chapuis 27 Jan '10

27 Jan '10

I have just orphaned a few packages because I don't use them anymore, so you can adopt them if you want. They are: gfaim: cooking recipes software in French lib32-libmad: I probably needed it for a proprietary game someday... lout: LaTeX alternative ltsa: a formal verification tool for concurrent systems spin/xspin: formal verification of distributed software systems and protocols I have also kept the following packages but I'm willing to hand them over if someone else wants to maintain them: gsi-sshterm: Java SSH application to log in computing grids mpy-svn-stats: Subversion logs analyzer (generates stats...) springgraph: alternative to neato (renders graphs) sig2dot: tool to plot a GPG keyring python-irclib: Python IRC client library I have also orphaned globus, a toolkit to build grids, but maybe it should simply be removed or updated to version 5.0 (which is not backwards-compatible though, I didn't try to build it at all). The package gt provides version 4.0 but it looks unmaintained and is almost impossible to find because its description does not contain the word "Globus". Finally, I think the python-decorator package should go to community: it has 97 votes and is probably one of the most useful Python modules. If no TU wants to take it I will keep maintaining it in AUR. Thanks for reading ;) -- catwell

Hi, This is just a little note to remind people to clean up any mistakes made in SVN. If you do not know how to, then just ask.

Also I found a src and pkg directory with some some sort of CVS stuff inside in the community SVN. Everything should be cleaned up now. Thanks, Allan

[aur-general] KDE 4.4 SC available in [kde-unstable]
by Pierre Schmitz 23 Jan '10

23 Jan '10

Hi everybody, we are working on the upcoming KDE SC release for some time now but we have reached a state when we would like to invite you to help us testing the new packages. There are about two weeks left until KDE SC 4.4 will finally be released; so the current snapshot is quite usable. Especially Devs and TUs should use the kde-unstable repository and check if their Qt or KDE related applications still work. If KDE 4.4 or Qt 4.6 does break your app please add Andrea and me to the assignees so we get an overview of the "damage". There is a small guide about using the kde-unstable repository at http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DeveloperWiki:KDE#Users So, if you feel you need to tell others about kde-unstable please always add a link to that page. Especially the repository ordering is important. Happy testing and thanks for your feedback, Pierre -- Pierre Schmitz, https://users.archlinux.de/~pierre

I'm at the window writing this e-mail with a connection I... borrowed... from a kind neighbour. So, until further notice consider me as totally inactive, hopefully not for a long time, and feel free to take whatever action you feel appropriate with my package. If you do anything more complex than a bump+release it'd be nice to send me an e-mail, which I'll read later. Thanks to all, Corrado

[aur-general] Policy on abandoned projects?
by Erik Johnson 19 Jan '10

19 Jan '10

What is the policy with regard to projects that appear to have been abandoned? For instance, no matter what distribution I run, I find myself compiling spellutils for its excellent "newsbody" program, which I use in mutt to feed aspell only the body of the message instead of the full message (including quoted replies, headers, etc). However, for some time now the homepage of this project has been defunct, and the developer has been unreachable. The project does not have a sourceforge/github/etc location from which the source code can be retrieved, I was only able to find the source code myself thanks to a couple different source code archives, which I am not sure if I can rely on 100% to keep the source available. What can I do to get this project into the AUR? I have no problem writing a PKGBUILD, I just need to find an acceptable way of making the source available, and I'm not sure if there's a protocol for this that AUR package maintainers typically follow.

[aur-general] My first package, esperanto locale for glibc
by Guillaume Brunerie 18 Jan '10

Hi, I did my first package, and wanted to post it here before submitting it to AUR. It is a package which adds the esperanto locale for glibc, and I didn’t found similar packages in ABS or AUR, so I don’t know if I use the PKGBUILD and .install files the good way. I have a few other questions : - The locale file doesn’t mention any license and makepkg say that there should be a licence= line in the PKGBUILD. What should I do? - I echo some text in the post_install function. Can I use UTF-8 encoded chars (like ’ or “”) or should I stick to 7-bit ASCII only ? Thank you for your comments :) Fractal ;)

I emailed the maintainer (trader) 2 weeks ago, but did not get a response. Best Regards, masutu

[aur-general] rfkill package
by Thomas Bächler 09 Jan '10

09 Jan '10

I noticed that the rfkill package is in community now (very good). However, I have been asked if it was possible to make a few improvements: 1) Add a rfkill group (or use an existing group) and allow that group to write /dev/rfkill using udev (if we add a group, we should do that in the filesystem package, not the rfkill package). Apparently, some desktop applications would like to set the rfkill state, so this way we could allow that. 2) Add an init script that can optionally unblock wifi, bluetooth or anything else on boot. In the past, some devices were soft-blocked on boot by default (is this still an issue?), so this could be improved. Maybe we should even move this to extra or even core. Giovanni, this seems to be your package, what do you think?

[aur-general] Duplicate package (emesene-bzr)
by Rene Pärts 05 Jan '10

Found another one. emesene-bzr duplicates emesene-svn.

[aur-general] Package voting alternatives
by Sebastian Nowicki 29 Dec '09

29 Dec '09

Hi, I believe this was discussed on aur-dev some years ago, but it seems that discussion was lost (no longer in archives). I'd like to bring up the subject again. What do you think the best way to indicate package popularity is? The two main ideas were votes (the current implementation) and a download counter. I can't really recall which one was preferred. The issue has been raised because we're deciding which to use in "AUR2", as a patch has been submitted to implement votes. I'd like to know if voting works, how effective it is, and how much significance it has on a TU's decision to put a package into community. Basically whether it's "broken" and needs to be "fixed" or if it's fine the way it is. P.S. I didn't send this to aur-dev as it doesn't really concern the developers. It's an end-user feature, and mostly a feature for TUs, so I posted here.

by garfiield 19 Dec '09

Hello! Like the subject says, I am going to submit my first AUR package dvtm-git [1]. But before I do that I would like to get some questions answered. Questions: Although dvtm [2] in AUR has the description "Dynamic virtual terminal manager", I have chosen "Tiling window management for the console" as the description of my package. My reason for choosing this description is that _I think_ it is more descriptive than just giving the meaning of the abbreviation "dvtm" (like the dvtm package does). * Should I go with my own description of the package or use the same description as the dvtm package? (Maybe add some information to inform that the source is a Git repository?) * What other improvements should or can I do to the package? Best regards, garfiield PS. Does it build on a x86_64 machine? (I have not tested, but since dvtm [2] does I assume this one also does.) -- [1] http://git.garfiield.net/?p=pkgbuilds.git;a=tree;f=dvtm-git;h=a72a63e314698… http://git.garfiield.net/?p=pkgbuilds.git;a=snapshot;h=a72a63e31469809242c0… git://git.garfiield.net/pkgbuilds.git [2] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=14182

[aur-general] Request to remove kdeplasma-atheist-quote
by Final Crisis 14 Dec '09

14 Dec '09

Hello, First and foremost, sorry if this isn't the right place or way to do this, as I've never done it before, but I recall someone suggesting getting it done this way. I would like to have kdeplasma-atheist-quote removed from AUR, which I had submitted a while ago under the false impression that the package worked. It "worked" on my computer as well as a friend's because we had manually installed and uninstalled it as non-root users once before and it likely kept in cache or something of the sort despite the uninstall. It "works" there, but it doesn't work on new machines (btw I wasn't aware he'd had the plasmoid installed once before I asked him to test the package). I never figured out how to fix it because it's not made the same way pretty much every other plasmoid is [it's lose javascript files or some such, no cmake stuff will do afaik], and it's been orphaned n broken for a LONG time, so it should be removed.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [aur-general] Orphaning moovida Datum: Sun, 09 Aug 2009 18:47:25 +0200 Von: Stefan Husmann <stefan-husmann(a)t-online.de> Antwort an: Discussion about the Arch User Repository (AUR) <aur-general(a)archlinux.org> An: Discussion about the Arch User Repository (AUR) <aur-general(a)archlinux.org> Hello TUs, I would like to get rid of my package moovida since I do not use it. I got two bugreports about it, and so i added the packages python-cssutils-legacy and twisted-web2 to [community] as dependencies. The only other dependencies in [community] are pigment and python-pigment. So if anyone wants to have them, take them. There is also a package python-cssutils in [community]. This formerly was a dependency of moovida, but because of one of the bugreports I reintroduced the older version as python-cssutils-legacy. So python-cssutils now only is needed by two unsupported packages calibre and calibre-ng. Are there objections to move it to [unsupported]? Regards Stefan ___ Hello, since noone wants to maintain them, I will move moovida and it's dependencies to unsupported. moovida python-cssutils-legacy twisted-web2 pigment python-pigment I will do so next weekend. Best regards, Stefan

[aur-general] Available: A lot of eggs for Chicken Scheme...
by Jim Pryor 13 Dec '09

13 Dec '09

I'm exploring various Scheme implementations and at the moment am liking Chicken. I don't know the community very well, but it sounds like it's one of the large and active Scheme communities. For the casual bystander: the Lisp community is fractured into Scheme and Common Lisp, and each of these is further fractured into many different "implementations." Maybe the biggest Scheme community is PLT Scheme? I don't know. But Chicken is one of the large ones. Chicken Scheme has a package system. They call their packages "eggs" (they did this before Python did) and there's a lot of them available, at <http://chicken.wiki.br/chicken-projects/egg-index-4.html>. For my own use, I converted all of these I could build (217 of them, I think) to Arch packages. Of course I automated the process, but there was a lot of refining of the automation and further tweaking. Now I've got all of these chicken-* packages I could make available on AUR. I think anyone else using Arch and Chicken would find them very convenient. Chicken has its own package management system, but if you use Arch I think it's nicer to do things through pacman. (In the same way that we like to manage perl modules through pacman.) However, I don't know how much I'm going to be able to commit to maintaining these packages. Some of the packages I certainly won't be using myself. I'm not even sure how long, or how seriously, I'll be using Chicken Scheme. It won't be my main programming environment. But I do like it so far and I want to find a Scheme implementation I can stick with and have handy. Maybe this is it. Still, I don't have much time and I'm not confident I'll be able to give these packages much attention down the road. What should I do? Post them to AUR and maintain them minimally until someone else comes along who can commit more seriously to them? Or just leave this note out on the list in the off chance such another person might come across it? The packages I'd submit all check fine with namcap (and as I've said, I've built and installed them all, though I haven't run the tests on them. I didn't have the time to automate or tweak the building of the test dependencies.) The only exceptions are: there are often some redundant dependencies, for instance if package A depends on B and C, and B also depends on C, namcap wants you just to list B in A's depends. But the way Chicken calculates dependencies made it much easier to automate the PKGBUILD-generation with A depending on both B and C. The other exception is the licenses. A few unclear cases aside, I was always able to list the right license in the PKGBUILD. But there are a lot of BSD and MIT licenses in the pack. What I'm supposed to do then is say license=(BSD) and install a copy of the license in /usr/share/licenses/$pkgname. But the downloads from the Chicken repository don't provide separate license files. I'd have to extract the license from comments in the source code, and I haven't done that for these 217 packages. Other than that I think the packages are all fine. My automatic script generates all but 10 or so of them, those last 10 it's easiest to tweak by hand. -- Jim Pryor profjim(a)jimpryor.net

Please delete AUR package "nvidia-xen" (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=13093) since it is very old, not maintained and completely broken. Updating the package will most likely fail. Due to Xen's progress, I also question this packages current relevance. -- Sven-Hendrik

[aur-general] Status of the Chromium/Chrome packages on AUR
by Panos 09 Dec '09

09 Dec '09

Hello to everyone! I had recently created a thread on bbs.archlinux.org here http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=79410 in order to discuss the situration for the numerous chromium packages on AUR. As I can see, they are getting more and more. I would like to make the discussion on mailing list so that more people would participate. The list: 1 aur/chromium-browser 4.0.204.0~svn20090831r24879-1 (369) 2 aur/chromium-browser-4.0.219.3 4.0.219.3~svn20090925r27181-1 (0) 3 aur/chromium-browser-dev r26808-1 (107) 4 aur/chromium-browser-inspector r26919-1 (22) 5 aur/chromium-browser-l10n 4.0.219.0~svn20090924r27064-1 (6) 6 aur/chromium-browser-svn `svn info /chromium/src/ | grep (8) 7 aur/chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-nonfree r26428-1 (39) 8 aur/chromium-continuous -latest (46) 9 aur/chromium-fresh -latest (25) 10 aur/chromium-snapshot 27035-1 [27188-1] (439) 11 aur/chromium-snapshot-64 27164-5 (110) 12 aur/chromium-snapshot-64-last -6 (40) 13 aur/chromium-snapshot-latest -3 (4) 14 aur/cxchromium 0.9.0-3 (153) 15 aur/iron 3.0.197.0-6 (61) Except for 15 and 6 which provide a different package, and 14 which is very old, all the others are differently packaged chromium from svn. Chromium in these packages comes from two sources: 1)build.chromium.org 2)a deb from ppa.launchpad So I make the same question: do we really need all these packages ? Shouldn't they be less and provide, from fewer PKGBUILDs, the different pre-packaged chromium browser ? Because they are mostly repackaging an already packaged chromium browser, except for (6). We have two chromium-browser that use a deb package --> shouldn't it be one ? We have chromium-browser-dev --> it is the same as 1 and 2, but it can repackage debs for both architectures. 5 is a l10n package, it is only for the repackaged debs. We have 4 chromium-snapshot PKGBUILDs (they provide the one from build.chromium.org ). Shouldn't there be only one, which will create a 32 or 64 package from one PKGBUILD ? Just like chromium-browser-dev (which repackages the deb one) and automatically ? As you can see, it is clearly a bit of a chaos here.

[aur-general] Split package pkgrel/arch issue
by Daenyth Blank 08 Dec '09

08 Dec '09

I'm maintaining tremulous in community, and I'd like to split it into tremulous and tremulous-data, to save space and bandwidth for both mirrors and users, as well as making it a lot easier to package alternate clients. The problem I'm running into right now is that dbscripts can't handle packages with different pkgrel/arch lines in a split package.[1] The arch issue isn't pressing, since I could just silently update -data later (replace the i686 and x86_64 packages with one -any package without updating pkgrel). This should be seamless for users, and there's no reason to bump pkgrel because the change has no effect for users who have -data already installed. The other issue though, is that I'd like to set tremulous (the client package) to -6 (it's at -5), while keeping -data and pkgrel 1. I tried to commit this, but the dbscripts errored out saying it couldn't find data 1.1.0-6. What's my best course of action here? I see them as 1) Wait for dbscripts support. I don't want to do this because the 1.2 beta was recently released, and it would depend on -data. I'd rather not keep users waiting 2) Put out -data with pkgrel=6, then once dbscripts support is added, either a) Reset pkgrel to 1 with "force", or b) Continue from -6 going up to -7, etc. This feels ugly to me.

All is now rebuilt apart from bmpx in [extra] and schroot in [community]. The website for bmpx is down/gone. We discussed dropping bmpx from the repos with the last boost update but did not in the end as it did not need a rebuild. Any objections to removing it? Schroot needs updated (old sources are not where source says they should be). The sed statement in the PKGBUILD does not work, but I have no idea whether that is still needed. The maintainer will need to look at it. Allan

[aur-general] TU Application: Ray Rashif (schivmeister)
by Ray Rashif 06 Dec '09

06 Dec '09

Hello list I know there's been a couple of applications in the last few days, and another has just started, so please don't be annoyed. The unlucky TU this time is Chris Brannon (I flipped a coin, the other side being "try again..next time"). He's been great and has sacrificed time to check my packages out, so thank you once again Chris! I have split the following autonetography into parts for selective digestion; you guys can read only what matters. Yeah, right..? (hint: ctrl+f, "=", ENTER | whatmattersmost: "Usage") == Preamble == I started with Arch Linux not too long ago, from early-mid 2007. Linux itself, somewhere around 2006. My first stop was the IRC, at which point of time I used to hang out on #gentoo and #sabayon (now you know my previous poison). Just for a little fun, I vaguely recall it went something like this: schiv: does arch have anything like USE flags? Xilon: no $someone_else: compiling has absolutely zero benefit schiv: ok As you can see, people were not very hostile back then (probably because a lot of questions have become reccuring over time). Anyway, I liked my system immediately and started picking on beginners like myself on IRC. "Pick on someone your own size" - that's exactly what I did and I even picked on a certain user going by the handle of "Daenyth". == Getting Started == My next stop was AUR, the first package being "wicd", which thanks to then-developer Varun is now in [extra] and serving the community well. Then I took to the forums to help aid others in trying to get wicd working, and that marked the beginning of my "time on Arch". For the rest of the year I almost-regularly visited the forums, and on occasions edited wiki articles, reported bugs. I uploaded and maintained AUR packages which I used, so even up til now, there aren't that many. I began helping out with a "pro audio" initiative, of which the current ArchAudio [ http://archaudio.org ] is a direct result. I co-maintain and manage the project along with other keen individuals. >From mid 2008 through mid 2009, I was a little inactive due to hardware failure, and something misleading called "real life", but nevertheless had Arch running on a Windows machine through VirtualBox. I thought of applying for TUship one or two times before, but it was either time or "there's enough help already" that kept me from going ahead. There was a TU "Shinlun" who I wanted to request for sponsorship because I could take some load off, but he went inactive and ultimately stepped down. I don't think lack of time is an excuse for me, and I now realise that even a little dedication helps the community. One for all, all for one, but don't quote me on this. == Usage == My main packaging interest, as you might've guessed by now, is multimedia; audio/video. Other than that, I would love to maintain popular and/or important packages and ensure that users continue to have access to a bigger arsenal and wider range of tools on Arch Linux. Hopefully, I will also be working on getting the Sugar environment packaged (it's been on my TODO for a while). I might occasionally send in useless patches for makepkg, as I have done before, only to be struck down by Xavier's mighty roar. However, I can't be of much help with the development of pacman itself, the AUR internals, or anything else related to C or Web Development. Not yet, at least. == History == I come from a non-IT academic background, if such information needs to be known. I'm "from the Arts and not Sciences" by society's standards, but in fact I'm "neither or either". I'm from a tiny island-nation called Singapore, and there is very little convergence of the two areas here. Currently I'm pursuing DSP, in particular CSc Music, but not until I complete my National Service which should start next year and end two and a half after. I used to be a Philosophy student, and then Audio Engineering. I hope to be able to get into Cosmology/Astrophysics eventually, but competition here is tough and I was always lazy in class, lectures and Math (I won't say I was "bad" at it). Professionally, I'm busy..I mean I'm "in the business sector". Biologically, I'm a noob adult born in the Year of the Snake (1989). == Troubelshooting == So on to some questions of my own: 1) I remember we used to tell each other that we don't need to state dependencies from [core] in AUR, how true is this? Are we looking at just the base group or is it totally a matter of consistency? 2) How are cross-repository buildtime and optional dependencies handled? For example, can we have a package in [extra] makedepend and/or optdepend on another in [community]? 3) Unfortunately, it is time for a nice facepalm. I don't do x86_64. So do I get access to the build machine in the event this application is accepted? I would greatly appreciate any and all kinds of feedback with regards to my packages. Even if a quorum is not reached, I put a very high value on advice and opinion (!). Thank you for reading. Regards -- GPG/PGP ID: B42DDCAD

[aur-general] binary uzbl package(s)?
by Dieter Plaetinck 05 Dec '09

05 Dec '09

Hi guys. For the uzbl project (http://www.uzbl.org/) I maintain 2 packages in AUR - http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?K=uzbl - and I'm involved in the upstream as well Since this program is becoming quite popular, I thought it would make sense to start maintaining this in community/extra. (actually 'uzbl' has different little subprojects that I would each package separately, depending on each other where appropriate) Note that I'm not an arch package maintainer nor TU. I maintain a package in extra (aif) because of my releng duties, but I lack the experience and detailed knowlegde "real" packagers have. How I should I proceed? If a real TU/dev would like to maintain it, that's fine by me also, but upstream development is quite fast-faced (a release every 2-3 weeks) so you would need to be actively following. Dieter

Hello TUs, I'd like to re-apply again for TU position. Since I've applied [0], many things have happened, I tried to do my best. My contributions since my previous application: - Packaging (with some new packages) [1] - AUR, Pacman, AIF project patches - Newsletter/Magazine, AUR Hungarian translation - Mailing list, IRC, Forum and Wiki activity/help - Maintaining of AUR2 project (with Sebastian) [2] - Hyper Activity on the last 2 BUG days :) ( + I try to be on Sunday too) After 4 months, I'd like to be a useful member of the TU team again. My earlier goals remained the same, but extended with some new ones: a) Maintain and support embedded development tools/applications. b) To be active on BUG days again and again, try to help in its organisation, help the Community Packages thread too with editing/closing bugs. c) Maintain and support Lua scripting language/modules. d) Maintain and collaborate with the AUR2 Project (later aurman[3], cli frontend), finish the first 'Roadmap' to provide a useful release. This is my main focus definitely these days. Sergej Pupykin has kindly agreed to sponsor my application. Thanks very much for considering me as a possible addition to your great team!

[aur-general] KDE 4.4
by Laurie Clark-Michalek 04 Dec '09

04 Dec '09

Hi, In the spirit of all the desktop haters, is anyone here (apart from me) looking forward to KDE 4.4? From this angle, that is, not minding dbus too much, it looks to be very promising. They have some interesting stuff due to be merged into the trunk, like tabbed window management, revamped oxygen, and other such things. I took the time to read their feature list for 4.4 and it all looks good. Also, does anyone have any opinions on their changing of KDE to KDE SC (KDE Software Compilation)? Personally, it feels a bit silly, and I imagine KDE will continue to prevail, but it's not too important anyway. Regards, Laurie

[aur-general] provides version for VCS packages
by Côme Pruvost 03 Dec '09

03 Dec '09

Hello ! It's been some time I'm facing the same problem. When one build a package from VCS, one should include the original package name (usually $pkgname with -svn -git ... removed) in the provides array so packages depending on the program provided can find it. For example, if I want to package python-poppler-bzr, I will include "provides=('python-poppler')" so desigle can satisfy its own "depends=('python-poppler')". But now, imagine that desigle needs a recent version of python-poppler, and so it has "depends=('python-poppler>=0.2')". Then, makepkg will not detect python-poppler provided by python-poppler-bzr because it cannot compare versions. One then have to specify the version of the package provided. In case of a VCS, it's not always easy because it can change from a revision to another. So one need a way to get that version, and use it in the provides array. That's here I need your advice, because I successfully tested some workarounds, but I'm not really sure of their "ugliness"... Solution 1: Use pkg-config file (not always present) with awk build() { ... _realver=`cat path/to/package.pc | awk '/^Version/{print $2}'` provides=("realname=${_realver}") } Pros : rather easy Cons : Needs awk and some people hate awk, needs file.pc set. Solution 2: Use pkg-config with grep and sed because some people hate awk build() { ... _realver=`cat path/to/package.pc | grep 'Version' | sed 's/Version: //'` provides=("realname=${_realver}") } Pros : only generic tools are used Cons : still needs file.pc, less clear Solution 3: Use configure.ac build { ... echo "provides=(realpkg=@VERSION@)" > ${pkgname}.provides.in echo "AC_OUTPUT([${pkgname}.provides])" >> configure.ac ./autogen.sh ... source ${pkgname}.provides } Pros : should work in more cases, fun somehow isn't it ? Cons : rather complex, maybe incorrect with the new autoconf syntax (AC_CONFIG_FILES) and it seems that files are then generated two times. Well, thanks for reading, let's discuss that now :) Cilyan
