[aur-general] Requesting orphanage of libssh and hydra
by SergeantSpoon 03 Jul '09

03 Jul '09

I am interested in taking up maintaining libssh and hydra in the AUR, and the current maintainer has been inactive for almost a year. I tried contacting him via email but he has not responded, so I can only assume that he is no longer interested in maintaining either. If a TU could set me as the maintainer or ophan both packages that would be great, as I have PKGBUILDS that are completely updated and function ready to be uploaded. Cheers, Sergeant

[aur-general] Please delete "clojure-svn" and "clojure-contrib-svn"
by Sven-Hendrik Haase 02 Jul '09

02 Jul '09

Hey, Please delete "clojure-svn" and "clojure-contrib-svn" as they are both orphaned since Clojure switched to GIT. The GIT packages are both up already serving as the replacements of the packages I suggest for deletion.

[aur-general] Recommended Encoding for PKGBUILDS?
by hollunder＠gmx.at 02 Jul '09

02 Jul '09

Hi there, I noticed a while ago that the AUR webinterface doesn't show my name correctly when the character encoding in the PKGBUILD is utf-8. Is there a recommended encoding? iso-8859-1? Something else? I'm asking because I'm checking through my 50 PKGBUILD files and want to avoid issues in future. Regards, Philipp

I found two package in AUR both providing the same software: opera-dev-qt4 [1] and opera-devel-qt4 [2].

[aur-general] rsync for AUR
by Abhishek Dasgupta 01 Jul '09

01 Jul '09

Is it feasible to setup an rsync for AUR packages? Would it increase load on the server a lot? Installing packages from AUR would become simpler, as tools can work on the local cache instead. It'll be also easier to keep backups. -- Abhishek

[aur-general] The [community-testing] repository
by Thomas Bächler 30 Jun '09

30 Jun '09

I think this has been requested and discussed a few times and I talked to several people about it, so I want to outline my ideas here: When moving the community db scripts to the new svn-based scripts, a community-testing repository should be created. With the new scripts, handling this is incredibly easy. And here is why: Rebuild sprees. We have the problem now with readline: libreadline.so.6 is in testing and community packages are built against .so.5. [testing] users cannot use everything from [community] and once we move everything to core and extra, it takes too much time for [community] to catch up. The [community-testing] repository will solve that: While the dev team does rebuilds in [testing], the TUs do the same in [community-testing]. When everything is done, a developer can move the core/extra and community packages simultaneously. This is not only useful for SONAME bumps, but also for kernel updates (there's a few kernel modules in [community]). I suggest this should be set up as soon as [community] is moved to SVN-based scripts, as the upcoming libjpeg rebuilds will break too many packages and we need to rebuild not only the [extra] but also the [community] packages in time. That's how I see it, opinions?

Hello there. While playing around with aurbuild today, I found that there is a package in AUR called ruby-sup. This is an outdated duplicate of my package "sup".

[aur-general] [NOTICE] For Trusted Users. Update your CVS settings.
by Loui Chang 28 Jun '09

28 Jun '09

The new CVS setup uses ssh, so you will need a shell account. Please email me your ssh public key to set that up. For dealing with CVS please follow these instructions: Set CVS_RSH in your shell export CVS_RSH=ssh Update your CVSROOT settings to :ext:USER@aur.archlinux.org:/srv/cvs/community Where USER is your ssh login name. The quick way of changing your CVSROOT cd to directory with community checkout: find -name Root -exec sed -i 's/^:pserver.*/:ext:USER@archlinux.org:/srv/cvs/community/' {} \; It's preferred to edit your current checkout rather than making a new one, to reduce server load.

[aur-general] automatic package creation from pypi

Quite a while back, the idea of automatically creating PKGBUILDs from pypi came up: http://www.archlinux.org/pipermail/aur-general/2008-August/002099.html It'd be really cool if we could get something similar to cabal2arch for PyPI. Checking the PyPiXmlRpc [1] page does not show any field for listing dependencies of the package though. Is there any way of getting the dependencies of a python module programmatically?

The AUR has been up for how many years, and I haven't even *heard* of a malicious package. I don't think we should add features (and spend effort coding, and make the interface *more* cluttered) unless there is a need for the feature.

[aur-general] Arch Sugar
by Ray Rashif 26 Jun '09

Seeing that nobody has stepped up to offer and maintain this cute little thing, I have taken the initiative to start an effort. It's probably due to a lack of interest/need that none of the related packages are in [unsupported] in the first place, but even then I'd like to believe that some of you might be keen on contributing. And so I've put up some fundamentals: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sugar And if you're still staring at this with a question mark while refusing to go to the above wiki page: http://www.sugarlabs.org/ Oh yes I'm spinning this into an Arch "playbox" for my little siblings, particularly the youngest one who's 5 or something. Sure, I could just install the Fedora-based image and let 'er rip, but I wouldn't feel as comfortable =p

I agree that comments are not terribly useful on community packages, but I think they're important for [unsupported]. Maybe for community packages, only allow comments from the *maintainer* (or TU). My preference is to leave it as is. Granted, sometimes people report issues for community packages on the comment page, but that's no worse than people emailing the maintainer directly (since that's still not on the bug tracker), and is better because it's more visible.

[aur-general] Moving the AUR/community
by Aaron Griffin 25 Jun '09

25 Jun '09

Hey all, This is part informational, and part not. We have a donated server from SevenL networks that has sat mostly unused up until now. What we would like to do is more the AUR and community on to that machine, so that TUs can get real (limited) shell accounts and the people managing this side of the project get a bit more control. As far as I know, things are almost ready to go, but what we need to do is setup a good time to "freeze" the AUR and community so we can switch over the DNS and change checkout locations. Once this is complete, we can move forward with switching community to SVN and using the official dbscripts for managing the repo. This way you guys can get your own testing repo too! Sooo... the list, as I see it: * Decide on a date and time for the move * Get SSH keys from all TUs * Switch DNS over * Disable the AUR/community on gerolde Anything I'm missing? Suggestions as to a good date?

[aur-general] readline GPL violation on two pkgs?

Hi, I just do a quick scan of soft linked with readline and I think that these two pkgs that are linked with readline violates GPL: extra/tftp-hpa community/ngspice Both have the "old" BSD (4-clause) license and is linked with readline that is GPL, so there is an incompatibility [#1] In the case of ngspice recomends to link with libedit to avoid legal issues [#2] Cheers, [#1] http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/license-list.html#OriginalBSD [#2] http://ngspice.sourceforge.net/relinfo.html -- Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi ( djgera ) http://www.djgera.com.ar KeyID: 0x1B8C330D Key fingerprint = 0CAA D5D4 CD85 4434 A219 76ED 39AB 221B 1B8C 330D

[aur-general] eclipse-pdt package
by Jordi Cerdan 23 Jun '09

23 Jun '09

Hi all, I maintain the eclipse-pdt-all-in-one package ( http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=19272 ) in aur and I will soon face a problem: Until now there was only one package for i686, and there was no package for x86_64 arch. But now, there will be a package for this arch too. The problem is that there are 2 different links, one for each arch and I don't know if it's possible in the same PKGBUILD to detect the arch and to download the package needed. I know it would be easier to build 2 packages, but I would want to know if it's possible somehow to build one package for both architectures. Kind regards, -- Jordi Cerdan http://www.jordicerdan.com Andorra

[aur-general] virtualbox-modules and kernel 2.6.30?!
by Andrea Scarpino 22 Jun '09

22 Jun '09

Hi all, why virtualbox-modules is built with kernel 2.6.30?! The new kernel is still in [testing] so community packages should not depend on it. Anyway the new kernel will be moved to [core] soon, so I think is useless to fix this now. I want to remember all to wait until kernel is moved to [core] first to start updating packages.

[aur-general] Leaving Arch
by Christoph Zeiler 13 Jun '09

13 Jun '09

This is to a) inform the TUs that I've switched distros and won't be able to maintain my packages in the AUR anymore. Feel free to orphan all 358 of them. b) say "Thank you!" to everybody who notified me of outdated packages, sent suggestions and/or patches or helped otherwise. c) give reasons for leaving: My mind is on things other than bleeding-edge and system-tinkering. Over time I also became dissatisfied with the official way of handling source packages. IMO Arch could be great at both source and binary, but the source part doesn't get enough love. Why not add source support for pacman? Oh, and why not compress packages with LZMA? d) wish every Arch user all the best and lots of fun with his/her/its distro of choice!

[aur-general] fbsplash orphan request
by Heiko Baums 09 Jun '09

09 Jun '09

Could someone, please, orphan the AUR package fbsplash (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=13541)? It needs to be updated, the theme darch needs to be removed, because it's not downloadable anymore and fbsplash is therefore not installable, the dependencies need to be changed, and some other changes have to be made. Unfortunately the current maintainer thoffmeyer doesn't respond to the comments and to private e-mails. I'd like to readopt this package and work together with kujub to improve fbsplash. Heiko

[aur-general] scm naming conventions
by Ian Denhardt 02 Jun '09

02 Jun '09

Hello everyone, This is my first time posting to this list, though I've been lurking for a while. I have a thought, and forgive me if this would be better addressed on a different mailing list; I wasn't quite sure which to use, and I was already subscribed to this one so I chose it. right now for packages for development versions we use *-svn if the project uses svn, *-cvs if they use cvs, *-git if they use git, etc. I feel a better solution would be to use a single suffix for all development versions, say *-scm (source code management). This is already done in Exherbo. This would be advantageous because we wouldn't have to change the package name on the occasion that upstream switches tools, and it would make things more clear from a user perspective; right now if there are two scm packages in aur, you might have to do some digging to figure out which is current (though granted this isn't usually very difficult.) Of course, a policy change like this would require changing the names of a lot of packages in the short term. I'm curious to hear other people's thoughts on this. -Ian

[aur-general] changing the status of the maintainer field
by Abhishek Dasgupta 30 May '09

30 May '09

Many packages in Arch don't have Maintainer tags in their PKGBUILDs (around 345 last time I checked). Also quite a few the PKGBUILDs are not updated by the current maintainer. It is better to do away with maintainer tags altogether, since their functionality can be obtained from the web interface itself. Another alternative which I prefer (and which was discussed a while back) is to elevate the maintainer tag to a proper *required* tag which would be parsed by the Django frontend to update the maintainer list. -- Abhishek

Hi, Due to lack of developer time to package this fully, the telepathy/empathy packages sat in [testing] for a long time and become out dated. Now they have been removed, so these packages are free to go into [community] if a TU wishes to do so. Allan

[aur-general] (Reminder) gnome moved to git
by nezmer＠gmail.com 24 May '09

24 May '09

The gnome project moved their source repositories from svn to git(1). Maybe that's old news for some readers but It's certainly not for all of them . All gnome-related svn PKGBUILDS are already obsolete or will become obsolete in the near future . I wonder what is the best solution in this case . Let individual maintainers upload new git packages and ask for removal of the old svn ones ? (1) http://svn.gnome.org

[aur-general] Orphaning of 44 packages
by G_Syme 24 May '09

24 May '09

Hi fellow listmates, in trying to make a long story short: I've finally switched from KDE3 to KDE4, and not directly via Arch, but on a parallelly installed Kubuntu with shared home partition. The result is, that the Kubuntu installation (which was previously only intended to be a test- platform and failsafe solution) now runs fine, but has devastated the KDE3 configs of the Arch system. But, contrary to my expectation, upgrading Arch to KDE4 didn't utilize the configs from Kubuntu (from the shared home). This means I currently have a not- really-working KDE4 installation on Arch with some additional anomalies (like e.g. graphic glitches, etc.). Unfortunately, university doesn't leave me much spare time to try to repair my current Arch system at the moment. So I'm sticking to my "backup" Kubuntu system for the time being. Because I won't be able to properly maintain my packages at the moment, I'd like to take this opportunity to cut my packages from 64 down to a manageable state of 20. Hope this will give new AUR users the opportunity to collect a few of them, so the distribution gets a bit more balanced. ^^ Now for the list. All of the packages work (except for ditz-git, because upstream development has stalled a bit). Albeit from jvlt, they're all up-to- date (as far as I know). I've tried to categorize them a bit: -- uml2tools and dependencies -- (best to be maintained by one person) eclipse-emf-query eclipse-emf-transaction eclipse-emf-validation eclipse-gmf eclipse-mdt-ocl eclipse-mdt-uml2 eclipse-mdt-uml2tools -- subversive and its dependencies -- (best to be maintained by one person) eclipse-subversive eclipse-subversive-svn-connector eclipse-subversive-svn-connector-svnkit -- (maybe) frozen in time (AKA last update was quite some time ago) -- edumips64 faces finomaton geg gt5 hexxagon jacksum jmencode lookat nihongobenkyo pytraffic reed roll umodpack unmass urxvtcd violet -- candidates for removal (AKA let the community decide) -- brother-mfc260c-cupswrapper brother-mfc260c-lpr (the 2 packages above have never been tested because I don't own the printer (they're build analog to the brother-mfc260c-* packages) and haven't received any votes or comments, so probably no one is using them.) doomsday-1.8 (was intended to be an alternative for the sometimes savegame-corrupting version 1.9beta5. But the problem seems to be solved in 1.9beta6, which makes this package deprecated.) tinyuml (development has been stalled, and the official website has vanished ages ago. The sources can still be obtained from SF.net, though, and the package has received 19 votes over time, but I'm not sure if they still use it...) -- misc -- 4pane aespipe ditz-git dosbox-cvs jvlt mathomatic maxr-svn midish notecase-pro pauker thinkingrock veusz wirbel That's it. I hope to be back on track in late summer with my Arch system. I'll try to maintain my remaining packages as best as I can until then. Cheers, G_Syme

[aur-general] [PATCH] Add URL to get maintainer of a package
by Abhishek Dasgupta 24 May '09

24 May '09

This is a simple patch to make URLs like http://archlinux.org/core/i686/bash/maintainer return the current maintainer for the package in plaintext. I don't know if the code works or not since I've almost no experience in Django. I'm not sure whether simply returning pkg.maintainer shall suffice. -- Abhishek

Hi guys, This afternoon I'm leaving for a short holiday in Bratislava and Vienna, I'll be back on Monday. I probably won't have Internet access during this period, so feel free to update my packages. Not that I've been very active lately, but well, I'm reading my mails =) I also catch the occasion to ask if some x86_64 TU can rebuild rss-glx, since the latest version keeps segfaulting on me but it seems to be ok on other machines. The i686 package is already in place. If someone does, please close FS#14285. Thanks, Corrado

[aur-general] adoption request for flex-sdk
by Alper KANAT 17 May '09

17 May '09

Hey There, I'm a developer myself and developing an application using Adobe's Flex. I've found out that AUR has an outdated version of flex-sdk which has also been flagged as out of date. I've tried contacting its developer today but I don't expect a reply since users commented on the package's page had no response back. Any way; I think I can handle the packaging work of flex-sdk. I'm (right now) working on its PKGBUILD to make it work on my computer. If my adoption request is accepted, I would love to share it. If not, I guess I'm going to add it to Turkish Community repositories which one can find at http://www.archlinux.org.tr/repo/. As a reference, you can see my other packages. My username is alperkanat on AUR. Cheers! -- Alper KANAT <alperkanat(a)raptiye.org>

[aur-general] An idea for vim scripts/plugins
by Magnus Therning 13 May '09

13 May '09

Being a Vim user and having just moved to Arch I noticed that most (all?) packages for Vim plugins install system wide. This may not be desirable since it means all users get all the plugins, and not using pacman for plugins puts the burden of keeping up-to-date on the individual users. So, inspired by Debian's vim-additions-manager, I came up with a (fairly) light-weight solution: vim-scripts-mgr[1]. It looks for available Vim plugins in `/usr/share/vim-scripts` (one directory per plugin) and can install and uninstall individual plugins by adding symbolic links in ~/.vim for a user. I've already uploaded two Vim plugins that make use of it, Align[2] and haskellmode[3]. I'd be thrilled if others who package Vim plugins would consider using it. /M [1]: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=26318 [2]: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=26319 [3]: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=26343 -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) magnus＠therning．org Jabber: magnus＠therning．org http://therning.org/magnus identi.ca|twitter: magthe

[aur-general] some candidates for moving to unsupported
by Abhishek Dasgupta 13 May '09

13 May '09

Hi, I was going through the community bugtracker and I found a few bugs which can be solved by moving the relevant packages to [unsupported]. games/campgen (maintained by dtw) Old and the homepage says that there is no version which works with wesnoth 1.6 in Arch repositories. This would remove this package from the python 2.6 rebuild list (#13831) x11/xgl (#13581) (orphan) Comment on #13581 (tomd123): The link says "It was finally removed [1] from the X server in favor of AIGLX on June 12, 2008.". XGL is deprecated. I think it needs to be removed. Deprecated documentation packages (maintained by dsa) devel/gnome-vfs-docs (#13512) devel/glade-docs (#13509) devel/libxml2-docs (#13559) devel/libsoup-docs (#13536) -- Abhishek

[aur-general] Mutt vs Gmail (Was: An idea for vim scripts/plugins)
by Andrei Thorp 12 May '09

12 May '09

Well, I have all my mailing lists neatly arraged here and so on. They get filed to labels and archived automatically so that I can read them in a unified place. I'd have to change this up so that they go to the inbox, and that screws up my mail filtering in gmail then (afaik). It kind of forces me to compromise one way or another (either have the nice tidy thing in gmail, or the nice tidy thing on my one box, but not both). Since gmail offers it anywhere, I prefer to do it this way. Also, despite the mutt way being pretty nice and unixy (letting me script it easily into my window manager and so on), gmail just has an excellent interface with the folding, images, and so on. I hate to not use the classic mail setup everywhere, but it's just not as tidy anymore :/ What do people think on this topic? I personally find gmail to be extremely convenient, but I'm willing to be enlightened otherwise. -AT On Mon, May 11, 2009 at 10:15 AM, Ricardo Martins <ricardo(a)scarybox.net> wrote: > On Mon, 11 May 2009 10:05, Andrei Thorp wrote: >> Ah, I see.

[aur-general] Fwd: [arch-dev-public] Audio packages
by Eric Bélanger 12 May '09

12 May '09

Is there any TU interested in these audio packages? ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Allan McRae Date: Fri, May 1, 2009 at 6:31 AM Subject: [arch-dev-public] Audio packages To: Public mailing list for ArchLinux development <arch-dev-public(a)archlinux.org> Hi all, Do we have a dev here that wants to spend some time with the audio packages? They have not received much love lately... The jackbeat update requires moving portaudio from [community]. We also have ardour that is quite out-of-date but requires adding several deps to the repos. I updated jack-audio-connection-kit, but it also needs a rework of is rc.d script to actually make it useful and I have not had time to address yet (if anybody wants to do this contact me for the details). So, what do we do? Is there a dev who has time and interest to take these over? Otherwise do we bring someone onboard to maintain these packages or encourage someone in the arch-audio group to become a TU and move them to community? Allan

Hi, There seem to be some duplicates of P2PTV-Tool "Zattoo" in AUR. Since this program is only available as Beta, the name of [2] is redundant - I think [2] can be removed. In case of [3] and [4] I'm not sure: the first is dedicated for Switzerland, but I don't think there's a difference in PKGBUILD to [1] and [2], so removing it might be okay. The second one, [4], is named with "bin32-" in the beginning, so I'm ab bit unsure here too. Perhaps someone can have a look on these four PKGBUILDs - thanks! vinz [1] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=10917 [2] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=18688 [3] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=12859 [4] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=23635 -- Vinzenz Vietzke www.archmirror.de

[aur-general] Huge packages in community
by Angel Velásquez 04 May '09

04 May '09

Hi, I've syncing my home repo today (like I've been doing since months ago) and I got irritated downloading 595 mb of nexuiz, come on, this package can be popular or whatever, but IMHO having a 595mb package on the repos will be painful. I propose for a motion to remove packages like games > 250 mb, I am not a TU anymore and I know that, but the waste of bandwith downloading games is *really* killer... A solution could be: a) Creating an official repo called [games] or something like, where TUs and Devs can put games there (huge games principally. b) Definetively not upload games to the repos I am the administrator of two official mirrors, and watching this situation I am really worried if packages > 250 mb (games) will be downloaded / updated eventually and I will have to waste GBs on this. Please don't take this personal, but IIRC "Gerolde" was suffering for the lack of space months ago, and even if this package and those huge popular games > 250 mb doesn't merely to be on the official repos, frankly (but thanks for the effort to waste the disk space Xyne!).

My question is now, if somebody would like to have a look at the package as I don't have any clue now how I should succeed as I just can't find other working patches without needing to patch the kernel. I attached the source package with the log file from makepkg so somebody can have a look at it. Thanks in advance, Simon [1] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=7400 [2] http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Installing_VMware#VMware_and_kernel_2.6…

[aur-general] KStars Removal Request
by Ronnie Collinson 28 Apr '09

Hi, I recently took over maintenance of Kstars, but discovered after that it is no longer distributed by itself, instead its part of the kdeedu collection, furthermore it can be installed by itself from kdemod. IMHO I believe this package is now unnecessary. Link <http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=9857> Thankyou Ronnie

[aur-general] PKGBUILDS removal request and question
by Borislav Gerassimov 27 Apr '09

27 Apr '09

Greetings! I've recently (friday) adopted the qutim-related orphans, well almost all of the qutim PKGBUILDS. There are some of theme that are in fact duplicates, created because the originals were not updated. I've updated the duplicates, so I can suggest the following to be removed: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=24518 qutim-protocol-icq-svn http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=24519 qutim-protocol-irc-svn http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=24520 qutim-protocol-jabber-svn http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=24521 qutim-protocol-mrim-svn I've added provides=(..) and replaces=(..) lines in the corresponding qutim- plugin-*-svn PKGBUILDS. Is this enough? Also I've decided to update the qutim-svn PKGBUILD and remove the others, which are: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=22515 qutim-core-svn http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=21918 qutim-svn-dev There are conflicts=(..) and provides=(..) lines in the qutim-svn PKGBUILD but I'm not sure if replaces=(..) is needed there. The goal is to have qutim-svn and qutim-plugin-*-svn PKGBUILDs only. Thanks at advance for your replies and actions. If something is wrong with all this, please share your opinions. -- Borislav Gerassimov | borislavba - at - gmail.com Don't print if not necessary!

[aur-general] When does a package need -svn?
by hollunder＠gmx.at 27 Apr '09

27 Apr '09

Hi there, the developer of ardour changed the download page (1) in a way that doesn't allow downloads without going through a dialogue where he asks for donation. Donation is not mandatory but there's no direct link to the source tarball available anymore. All ardour packages, including the one I maintain (2), are broken since this change. The in my opinion best way to overcome this issue is to determine the svn revision of the release, check it out and build that instead. Although it technically using svn it wouldn't follow a branch. Would it ok to just leave the package name as is? The other method I can think of that wouldn't need svn would be to upload the tarball elsewhere, something I rather not do. (1) http://www.ardour.org/download (2) http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=22752 Best regards, Philipp

I request the AUR package 'changefirefoxicon' be deleted for duplicate (of 'firefox-branded') and severe breach of all good PKGBUILD rules. Just look at it, but I warn you as you might fall right from your chair either laughing or crying. Please just delete it.
