[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

No keyboard to write on but the paper and wood. Last of the original comm64 porters dying. Time to leave the duties to be performed by wonder who? TIME TO RESIGN! Or in short: I'm off to army in about a month, so I'm resigning unless you want to mark me as inactive for over a year :p wonder has agreed to take over lib32 so no pkgs to be adopted (unless someone wants bin32-wine from unsupported, trying to get maintainer for it).

[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

[aur-general] telepathy/empathy removed from [testing]
by Allan McRae 28 May '09

28 May '09

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

Hello, can some TU remove packages animorph [1] and mhgui [2]?

[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!). Anyway, that's my humble opinion. -- Angel Velásquez angvp @ irc.freenode.net Linux Counter: #359909

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.

[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

[aur-general] Problems with scilab packages
by Stefan Husmann 25 Apr '09

25 Apr '09

Hello, I have a strange problem with the scilab packages I maintain in [community]. The i686 version lacks a directory /usr/share/scilab/modules/helptools/jar/ , which is needed for the help browser. The package for x86_64 has this directory. I have no idea why this ist the case, since they both use the same PKGBUILD. Any hints are appreciated. Regards Stefan

Hi all, I have just put python-2.6.2-1 into [testing]. This remove the python-2.5 compatibility sitepath so anything not rebuilt since python-2.6 was release will be broken. The list of broken packages as of yesterday is in FS#13831 (http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/13831?getfile=3375) Note that these don't need built against the python in [testing] to be fix, just rebuilt against an python-2.6 package.

[aur-general] rkhunter package and kernel26fbcondecor
by Heiko Baums 21 Apr '09

21 Apr '09

Hi! First I wanted to ask, if there's a reason, why the package rkhunter was removed from AUR. Second I had to rename the package kernel26fbcondecor to kernel26-fbcondecor due to some nice changes in the PKGBUILD of kernel26, which makes compiling and maintaining other kernel packages a lot easier. See my comments for both packages. So I guess the package kernel26fbcondecor can be removed from AUR. It can be found here: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=14982 Regards, Heiko

[aur-general] Packaging perl modules - best practices for dependancies?
by Oliver Charles 20 Apr '09

20 Apr '09

Hi all, I used to use Arch a while ago, and packaged quite a few Perl modules [1]. After switching operating systems, I've come back to Arch - and I need to be a good maintainer of my packages :) I remember when I wrote these how frustrating it was manually writing just about every package for the dependancy tree. Personally, I'm of the stance that you should choose one package manager and stick with it - either all CPAN or fully Pacman/AUR. However, I've seen quite a few packages that do not do this. Instead, they rely on the fact that Build.PL and Makefile.PL are both capable of installing dependancies from CPAN. Like I said, I personally don't like this approach of mixing 2 package managers, it just seems like a recipe for confusing both package managers. Could anyone shed some light on what the *correct* procedure is - and also if there any tools out there that will scrape CPAN to build packages, before I write my own (in Perl, of course ;) Thank you! -- Oliver Charles / aCiD2 [1]: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?SeB=m&K=aCiD2 are my packages if you wish to check them

[aur-general] adopting from community: pinot
by Gergely Imreh 20 Apr '09

20 Apr '09

Hi, I was checking orphan packages that should be revived. I found Pinot [1] and made a new version. Since it is in "community", though, it cannot be adopted. I attach the new version of the package here (tar.gz, because it has Changelog, PKGBUILD and .install) and you can apply it to the CVS version. Or if you release it from community, I'll adopt it then. Cheers, Greg [1] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=8700

Hi, I want to give away some packages from [community] that I'm not longer interested to maintain: bygfoot catfish dvdstyler (wxsvg) kazehakase mget pinot (xapian-core, libtextcat, unrtf) qemulator tracker, tracker-gnome-search-tool If you want any of them, just write a short note and I will orphan them. Also I don't have the time to maintain the vmware PKGBUILDs anymore: vmware-workstation, vmware-workstation-modules vmware-player, vmware-player-modules vmware-server, vmware-server-modules, vmware-server-console If no TU wants them, I will orphan them in a few days.

[aur-general] Resigning as a TU
by Allan McRae 18 Apr '09

18 Apr '09

Hi all, I have decided it is time for me to resign as a TU. This has been a decision that has been on my mind for a while. I am wanting to focus my efforts on what I see as core parts of Arch (primarily pacman development and what I consider "core" packages). I currently leave any requests for package orphaning and deletion and AUR password change requests to others and I have been relying on others to check TU applicants packaging skills, so I am not doing TU stuff anyway. I will still be around to give my opinion is someone wants it. I will continue maintaining my packages in [community] (at least for the time being) but I no longer use the following packages and so they are up for adoption if someone wants them: axel barrage blobwars bmpanel colordiff critter curlftpfs dtach exaile (with cddb-py) gauplol gimmix (with libnxml) gnochm gnome-cup-manager gnome-do + gnome-do-plugins (with flickrnet + gnome-keyring-sharp-svn + notify-sharp-svn) gnome-mplayer + gecko-mediaplayer gnome-sbtitles (with sublib) gnomebaker gprename gtk-recordmydesktop gtvg gwget libev menumaker mozplugger multiget mupen64plus ogmrip (with gpac) pida pidgin-otr pyenchant pympd python-pyalsaaudio python-sexy pytube (with ffmpeg2theora) qt-recordmydesktop shake sloccount solarwolf supertuxkart (with plib) tagtools teeworlds terminator upx visualboyadvance wbar winefish xfce4-places-plugin xmltv (with perl-fcgi + perl-html-tree + perl-http-cache-transparent + perl-http-response-encoding + perl-lingua-en-numbers + perl-lingua-en-numbers-ordinate + perl-lingua-preferred + perl-soap-lite + perl-text-bidi + perl-text-kakasi + kakasi + perl-unicode-utf8simple - Note all are rarely updated so this is not much work...) I think any TU can disown another's packages so just go ahead and adopt what you want from that list. But stick to the list as I am keeping some packages that I do still use... Allan

[aur-general] Proposed PKGBUILD for next llvm build
by Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi 17 Apr '09

17 Apr '09

Hi While fixing the insecure RPATH in community/llvm package [#1] also fixed some others issues that I encountered. (List of files in the generated packaged can viewed here [#2]) This is the list of changes from the original PKGBUILD: 0) Updated to the latest llvm version. 1) Removed libtool dependency, is only needed at build time. 2) Use the license from tarball, instead of downloading it, since is the same, that are in webpage. 3) Fixed libdir, use /usr/lib/llvm instead of /usr/lib, this is more apropiated since llvm put some .o files that are relocatable. 4) Fixed insecure rpath in all binary files. 5) Fixed the path from scripts gccld and gccas that points to build directory instead of /usr/bin 6) Removed the build of sample hello transformation. 7) Use PIC code on x86_64 builds (--enable-pic). 8) Build only for the target machine instead of all supported. 9) Added --enable-bindings=none, since if ocaml is installed will build some files for it. 10) Put --enable-optimized at configure script intead of make var. 11) Build a more "release" code with options: --disable-assertions and --disable-expensive-checks 12) Force one job at installation step since more than one job fails. # Maintainer: Geoffroy Carrier <geoffroy.carrier(a)aur.archlinux.org> # Contributor: Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi <vmlinuz386(a)yahoo.com.ar> # Contributor: Tomas Lindquist Olsen <tomas(a)famolsen.dk> # Contributor: Roberto Alsina <ralsina(a)kde.org> pkgname=llvm pkgver=2.5 pkgrel=1 pkgdesc="Low Level Virtual Machine" arch=('i686' 'x86_64') url="http://llvm.org" license=('custom':'University of Illinois/NCSA Open Source License') depends=('libelf') source=("http://llvm.org/releases/$pkgver/$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.gz") md5sums=('55df2ea8665c8094ad2ef85187b9fc74') build() { cd $srcdir/$pkgname-$pkgver # --sysconfdir to configure apparently isn't enough ... sed 's:$(PROJ_prefix)/etc/llvm:/etc/llvm:' \ -i Makefile.config.in || return 1 # --libdir to configure apparently isn't enough ... sed 's:$(PROJ_prefix)/lib:$(PROJ_prefix)/lib/llvm:' \ -i Makefile.config.in || return 1 # Fix insecure rpath http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/14017 sed 's:-rpath \$(ToolDir)::g' -i Makefile.rules || return 1 # Fix path that point to the build directory sed 's:^TOOLDIR.*:TOOLDIR=/usr/bin:' \ -i tools/gccld/gccld.sh tools/gccas/gccas.sh || return 1 # remove docs from the make targets sed 's:runtime docs:runtime:' -i Makefile || return 1 # remove libHello transformation sed 's: Hello::' -i lib/Transforms/Makefile || return 1 if [ "${CARCH}" = "x86_64" ]; then _pic_flag="--enable-pic" else _pic_flag="" fi ./configure --prefix=/usr \ --libdir=/usr/lib/llvm \ --sysconfdir=/etc \ --enable-bindings=none \ --enable-targets=host-only \ --enable-optimized \ --disable-assertions \ --disable-expensive-checks ${_pic_flag} || return 1 make || return 1 # install fails with more than one make job make -j1 DESTDIR=$pkgdir install || return 1 install -D LICENSE.TXT $pkgdir/usr/share/licenses/llvm/COPYING } Cheers!

I have just updated and started to maintain the python-apsw package (the current version in AUR was from Oct 2007, when the last version is from Feb 2009) This package is needed for the tribler package (bittorrent client) Please let me know if you use this library and therefore whether the package is useful. And of course, give me any suggestion for the PKGBUILD since this is my first package I submit.

[aur-general] Questions from a new TU
by Xyne 13 Apr '09

13 Apr '09

Hi, Just let me know if there is a more appropriate place for this and sorry for all eventual noobishness. 1) Why are the "x86_64" and "i686" tags stripped out of package names? Wouldn't it make more sense to use these tags to determine the port when uploading binary packages to community? This would also be useful for uploading "any" packages (which I suppose need to be uploaded twice). 2) How can I upload both x86_64 and i686 packages from the same machine? When trying to upload an i686 package with communitypkg, it complains that it couldn't find the x86_64 package. I did change the port of tupkg but I didn't try it without communitypkg. 3) Is there any way to avoid re-uploading a package when changing the PKGBUILD if the changes have no effect on the built package (e.g. appending packages to the depends array)? Thanks, Xyne

[aur-general] Watch list
by Ashok Gautham 12 Apr '09

12 Apr '09

Can AUR have something like a watch list. It would be useful. I find that at times I forget that I flagged a package out of date. After a long time, I finally remember it and then go and check it out again. Instead, if we had something like "My watchlist", I would know which packages I am watching/monitoring for activity/inactivity --- Ashok `ScriptDevil` Gautham

[aur-general] namcap tag: hicolor-icon-cache-not-updated
by Abhishek Dasgupta 11 Apr '09

11 Apr '09

According to http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Gnome_package_guidelines#GTK_Icon_cache packages which install icons in /usr/share/icons/hicolor should depend on hicolor-icon-theme and invoke gtk-update-icon-cache. I've made a namcap module [1] which checks for the existence of the /usr/share/icons/hicolor directory and then sees if gtk-update-icon-cache is called in the install file and if hicolor-icon-theme is in the depends array. Otherwise it is reported as an error. http://github.com/abhidg/namcap/blob/d0f27f98d4e91b3fe37fc41395d0ba713f4210… -- Abhishek

[aur-general] uploading binary packages / makepkg.conf files
by Xyne 11 Apr '09

11 Apr '09

Hi, I'll be taking over Nexuiz from Swiergot and I'm working on tidying up and updating the PKGBUILD right now. (related issue: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=69617) Is there any way to build the package on the community upload server? There is a single PKGBUILD for both architectures and I have access to both x86_64 and i686 Arch systems but the binary package is about 600 MB and my ADSL upload speed is pathetic. Uploading 2 * 600 MB will take ages (at least 3.5 hours with full bandwidth saturation, which cripples other networking). I only ask because the TU checklist states "Ask Aaron for access to the x86_64 build machine if you need it (when it comes back online) " which leads me to believe that there might be build machines for both architectures. I haven't found any information about this in the wiki (AURTools Tutorial, TU Guidelines, etc). Sorry if I've missed something obvious. A related question: what's the easiest way to switch between different makepkg.conf files? I currently have CFLAGS specific to my processor in makepkg.conf and I would like to avoid changing the file every time I compile a pkg for uploading. The best solution that I can think of so far is to create a script to swap makepkg.conf files but that feels kludgy. Actually, I'll probably just submit a feature request for a "--config" option. *hopes his questions aren't embarassingly stupid* Regards, Xyne

[aur-general] Out of date orphaned packages in community
by Laurie Clark-Michalek 10 Apr '09

Hi, What is the current policy for out date packages in the community repo. Iirc there were ten or so such packages that fall into this zone. Now while this isnt many, there packages have no hope of being updated, unless a kindly TU takes pity on them. Could they please be moved back to the aur where they can be updated and them moved back into community once that has happened and the PKGBUILD is at it's former high quality. Thanks, Laurie

[aur-general] pkgconflict: a tool to find file conflicts when building packages
by Chris Brannon 09 Apr '09

09 Apr '09

I wrote this code in anger. Hopefully, others might find it useful. There is a little story behind it. I maintain the nmh package in unsupported. I just discovered that a package from extra provides /usr/bin/dp, which is also provided by nmh. We have this nice collection of files under /var/cache/pkgtools/lists, thanks to Daenyth's very useful pkgfile tool. We ought to be able to use that collection to detect conflicts like the one I just described. Hence the birth of pkgconflict. Usage: pkgconflict <PACKAGEFILE> Source is here: http://members.cox.net/cmbrannon/pkgconflict If someone else has a better tool for this purpose, I'd love to hear about it! Enjoy, -- Chris PS. pkgconflict already proved useful. It showed me that /usr/bin/scan, also from nmh, is provided by linuxtv-dvb-apps from community.

[aur-general] Use of sudo in pkgbuild
by Laurie Clark-Michalek 08 Apr '09

Hi, I've been working on the splashy-creator package (updating it to 2.2), and had got it working, when I realised I had a potential problem. I needed to use sudo in the pkgbuild, and so far, I have never seen it used in a package. Is this OK, and/or is there away to avoid it? Here is my package build for inspection: # Contributor: Laurie Clark-Michalek <BluePeppers (at) archlinux (dot) us> pkgname=splashy-creator pkgver=2.2 pkgrel=1 pkgdesc="A tool for creating Splashy themes." arch=('i686' 'x86_64') url="http://www.nanolx.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=34" license=('GPL3') depends=('sed' 'pygtk>=2.4' 'python>=2.4' 'splashy') makedepends=('sudo' 'patch') source=(http://nanolx.org/free/$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.bz2 $pkgname.patch) md5sums=('615033a2cabab0b132ecc9aff2c07a7b' 'b8095120f36b5f2cc3b1704a7b2e32a6') build() { cd $srcdir/$pkgname ./configure patch ./Makefile $srcdir/splashy-creator.patch sudo make DESTDIR=$pkgdir install || return 1 } The patch is just a small one: 23c23 < @mkdir -p $(DESTDIR)/usr/usr/bin/ --- > @mkdir -p $(DESTDIR)/usr/bin/ Thanks, Laurie P.S.

[aur-general] Adoptable AUR packages
by Ashok Gautham 07 Apr '09

07 Apr '09

There are three kinds of orphans in AUR at the moment. 1) A sea of packages that have either become obselete or have been added in some other package. ( Like dolphin ). 2) The others are ruby/python/perl libraries. The problem with these is that installing them using pyPI or gems is quite simple (though not highly recommended). So many of these get orphaned 3) The last category is where maintainers do not have the time to do justice to their packages and hence orphan it. I found I had a little free time and could adopt some packages. I found myself in this sea. It would be good if we can start a wiki page where every "useful" package that is currently orphaned can be added and removed once adopted. I checked out the wiki. The AUR cleanup day is the closest I got to. We would need something like an inverse of that now. So any user who wants to adopt a package should go to the page, choose whatever he wants to adopt and remove it from the page. I feel this will clear up a lot of packages in the second and last categories. Also, we can give a guideline for people who disown packages to add it to the corresponding page (obselete/required) in the hope that someone will take over the package --- Ashok `ScriptDevil` Gautham

[aur-general] How to handle interchangeable dependencies?
by hollunder＠gmx.at 07 Apr '09

07 Apr '09

Hi there. I'm looking for a clean way to handle packages that can replace others. Examples: lash can be substituted by lash-git, it works fine, except namcap complains: hydrogen-svn E: Dependency detected and not included (lash-git) from files ['usr/bin/hydrogen'] hydrogen-svn W: Dependency included and not needed (lash) Adding 'lash' or 'lash=0.6.0' to the provides array of lash-git doesn't help. I have the same situation with for example jack-audio-connection-kit where we have quite a number of different packages that all provide the same basic functionality and are interchangeable. Note that it mostly works with provides, it just isn't clean and there are cases where it can break stuff. Is there a solution to this? Best regards, Philipp

[aur-general] legal question

Even though it might not be an infringement from our part to offer the PKGBUILDs, it still does not look very good for Arch Linux to be encouraging the use of illegal software (note that font is also software). Unless someone provides me with good arguments against it, I will delete the above two packages during the next few days. Best, F

[aur-general] Maintainer vs Contributor tag let's find a solution ; )
by Angel Velásquez 06 Apr '09

06 Apr '09

Hi, this thread were discussed in the history, so I think is time to clarify and put the correct information to the wiki. (Actually on the recent TU application and sunjdk package). IIRC: a) Maintainer tag in PKGBUILD is just use for people who maintain the binary package generated by this PKGBUILD on official repositories (core, extra, community*), and the people with abilities to do this are TU and Devs. b) Contributor tag is for people who upload the PKGBUILD for first time or is maintaining it at this time. But sometimes this is hard to apply, for example I adopted an orphan PKGBUILD on AUR and I decided to update it and maintain it, what I should have to do: 1.- Should I remove the past contributor and add myself as a Contributor? 2.- Should I keep all the contributor list even if they are more than 4 different people (4 lines more to the PKGBUILD) 3.- Add myself to the maintainer tag? IMO I will use the second option, to keep all the contributor list, maybe tomorrow I won't be able to contribute with this PKGBUILD but it will be nice, to the future owners of these PKGBUILD to know who maintained before them. But maybe we will have a long list of contributors, so, it would be nice to discuss an idea to have tags for maintainers of PKGBUILD with have a binary and contributors of PKGBUILDs, as I said, i would like to improve a method to apply the second idea. Please try to don't flame the ideas, try to propose new ones, or improve the exposed by me. Regards Note: * Many people should disagree with the idea about "community" and "official repo", IMO if community it's enabled by default on pacman, community became official, no matter what the history was... -- Angel Velásquez angvp @ irc.freenode.net Linux Counter: #359909

[aur-general] Package Duplication / Orphaning (funpidgin/carrier)
by Ronnie Collinson 05 Apr '09

05 Apr '09

Hi, funpidgin was renamed to carrier, additionally for some time carrier has been depending on a package not in a official repo or AUR, a working alternative has been provided in the comments along, with a request from a user for someone else to take over maintainer status, this happened on the 18 March 2009. I would like to volunteer myself to maintain this package. Funpidgin link <http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=15689> Carrier link <http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=17191>

[aur-general] Orphaning request and inactive TUs
by F B 04 Apr '09

04 Apr '09

Hi, could someone orphan the pkg "libclaw"? The user "Nicoco" seems to be inactive. I see that many packages in community maintained by gcarrier are outdated (jre, all virtualbox-ose packages) from a long time. Same situation for Romashka, some of his packages have not been updated since 2007. Could some TUs do something for this situation? Maybe moving them in unsupported. Thank you in advance, Babets.
