[aur-general] python-apsw package
by Juan Miguel Cejuela 13 Apr '09

13 Apr '09

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. Have a good day!! -- Juan Miguel Cejuela ~http://www.ashrentum.net [My Homepage] ~http://www.ashrentum.net/lachanza [Colección de Chistes en Español]

[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 I find that at times I forget that I flagged a package out of date.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

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.

The package Sphinx 0.9.8_rc2-1 is now out of date, and seems to be abandoned. I contacted the currently listed maintainer of the package on 3/20 without reply. I would like to continue maintenance of this package. If someone else would like to continue maintenance of the package I am fine with that as well, I just would like it to stay up to date and in good standing.

[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.

[aur-general] Adopting Apache Commons packages

Hello TUs, I'd like to adopt commons-collections ( http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=1216 ) and commons-beanutils ( http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=1215 ), which are currently orphaned packages. However, I think it would be wise to rename them to java-commons-{digester,beanutils}, to bring them in line with the naming scheme already used by a few other Commons packages. Could you please delete the old packages, and I will upload new ones shortly? TIA Marc

[aur-general] Problem with root permission
by Michele Mocciola 29 Mar '09

29 Mar '09

I'm having trouble building PKGBUILD for mpi version of code-aster: during compilation process install script must run mpixec; because of fakeroot, mpiexec believes that is being runt by root and so looks for file /etc/mpd.conf, for its owner, that must be root, and for its permissions that must be 600; problem start when install script tries to open mpd.conf, because of permissions 600 it can't open it and so it closes with error. The only solution I found is to run makepkg as root (e.g. sudo makepkg --asroot). Do you think there are other solution for this problem? MPI implementation I use is mpich2. Thanks in advance.

[aur-general] System cleaning?
by Brandon Martin 29 Mar '09

29 Mar '09

You would think that I would have been using arch long enough to know how to do this buy I don't. I was using gnome then I tried to uninstall it and I used kdemod for a little while but know I want to use gnome again. I uninstalled kdemod and reinstalled gnome but it just doesn't seem as snappy as it was before. Plus I have easytag installed and when I click the home folder from the places menu it opened easytag. On top of that when I was connected to a remote FTP and I try to edit and save something I get a gvfs error. This use to work fine before. In the past I have usually just done a fresh install because I am weird about having only what I need installed and have never taken the time to learn all I can do with pacman. So my main question is can how do I do a major cleaning removing what I don't need and how do I check if I am missing something I do need since I am running into a few oddities. What is the best way to get my system clean and mean. Thanks for any insight. -- Brandon Martin

[aur-general] Arch's Vim Failings & Solution Suggestions
by Andrei Thorp 27 Mar '09

27 Mar '09

Hello, fellow Archers. Recently, I had a question about Vim, so I went to the #vim channel in IRC. I was doing something that should be working, but it wasn't. Surprisingly, the question came up, "Are you on Arch?" Turns out that several of the peolpe I most respect in the #vim IRC channel are very unhappy with the quality of Arch's Vim package. One even (jokingly?) asked if they could officially not support Arch in the channel, which I found somewhat alarming. I suggested that we should instead help improve the Arch package. I hate to pick on people, but according to the generally kind folks on IRC, the Vim package for Arch has quite a few issues, and the maintainer hasn't addressed some outstanding bugs in quite a long while. As some of you may know, James Vega (jamessan) is an outstanding Vim user and the Debian package maintainer for Vim. I asked him to send me what he saw as the problems with the Arch package, and he was kind enough to send along some suggestions. They are attached in this forward. Thank you, -Andrei Thorp ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: James Vega <jamessan(a)debian.org> Date: Thu, Mar 19, 2009 at 2:29 AM Subject: Arch's Vim failings To: garoth(a)gmail.com Andrei, Thanks for being receptive to trying to address the issues in Arch's Vim packaging. Below are the major points that stand out. 1) gvim package: Shipping an /etc/gvimrc which, due to the order that Vim loads rc files, overrides any settings in the user's ~/.vimrc. Considering that some users make the conscious decision to keep all their settings in their ~/.vimrc instead of using both ~/.vimrc and ~/.gvimrc, this is at the very least annoying. More in depth discussion is contained in the nearly year old, unfixed bug[0] about this issue. 2) vi package: The package is built such that the resulting vi binary reads its config from the completely non-standard ~/.virc. Presumably this is to allow different configurations for the different feature-sets avaiable in vi vs. vim packages. Fortunately, Vim has methods to deal with this already such as being able to check what name was used to invoke Vim[1] and explicitly checking for feature support[2]. 3) vi, vim, and gvim packages: Explicitly building Vim with $VIMRUNTIME == $VIM by specifying "--with-global-runtime=/usr/share/vim" to configure. This doesn't need to be specified to configure as it will be set to the correct directory on its own. If they insist on specifying it, the directory should be /usr/share/vim/vimXY (where XY is Vim's version number -- 72 for current Vim). This manifests various problems, the most noticeable being that the 'runtimepath' option in Vim has /usr/share/vim listed twice, thus causing runtime files to be sourced twice and causing duplicate information when using common scripting methods for discovering files in the runtimepath[3]. -- James GPG Key: 1024D/61326D40 2003-09-02 James Vega <jamessan(a)debian.org> [0] - http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/10303 [1] - if v:progname == 'vi' [2] - if has('cscope') [3] - globpath(&rtp, 'colors/*') -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAknB5lcACgkQDb3UpmEybUCg6ACgjRFE4YnrbEGMq8uY51CZqRis xZsAnjbOC4BsAv/hYG9hcfmbogJLdLtX =HJf3 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

[aur-general] Redirection of package
by Cilyan Olowen 24 Mar '09

24 Mar '09

I was wondering if it is possible to redirect one package to another, and if it was possible in unsupported. For example, python bindings for poppler are currently, but probably will stay like this, a bazaar repository. The fact is, as it is the official way of obtaining the software, the package should be python-poppler. But, as it is a bzr, it should be python-poppler-bzr too and so will beneficiate the makepkg functionality to update to the last repository version. Another package needs the bindings, but as it is the functionnality that are needed and not a particular way of obtention, I think it is better to request python-poppler. So, for the requirement to be installed automatically, it is better for the package to be named python-poppler. Finally, it could be great if the package python-poppler was redirected to python-poppler-bzr. And if a stable packaged version of the software arise, the two packages could be dissociated transparently. Is it possible ? Cilyan

I'm trying to adopt the 'anki' package, but can't. I can adopt others fine, but when I hit the adopt link for anki, although I do get the confirmation message it's been adopted...it's really not. any help?

[aur-general] [PATCH] initial support for any architecture.
by Abhishek Dasgupta 23 Mar '09

23 Mar '09

This patch adds initial support for any architecture. It assumes that there'll be a repo-any directory in repos/ from which it'll pull the PKGBUILDs. Also the architectureo independent packages are assumed to be in $reponame/os/any. This commit does not fix anything going wrong in the cron-jobs or misc-scripts folder. Also this commit contain any helper scripts for the any architecture corresponding to db-core or testing2x.

[aur-general] Orphaning request
by Christoph Zeiler 23 Mar '09

23 Mar '09

Could a TU please orphan the package "eduke32" by user "funkyou"? The software has had three new releases since the PKGBUILD was last updated, which was in 08/12/05. 11 days ago I posted a comment on the package's page to notify the maintainer that the PKGBUILD is in need of updating. I also stated the PKGBUILD needs a general overhaul as it's not meeting the packaging guidelines. I didn't receive a response, so I sent him an email four days ago, no response to it either.

[aur-general] Uploading 32bit packages from 64bit system
by Timm Preetz 22 Mar '09

22 Mar '09

Hi, today I finally setup my 32bit build machine, to be able to provide builds for i686 just in time with the ones for 64bit systems. First of all, I put the CVS repo on the new computer, then SSH into it and makepkg the packages. (From my normal work machine I use import the CVS repo from the 32bit machine as filesystem, so I don't have to keep two repos in sync). So now I have the 32bit build on my building machine, and can easily access that from my normal pc. I there a way to upload that very 32bit build to community? Or do I have to install "communitypkg" also on that remote machine? This would be easily done, but I would hate spreading my passwords to other machines. Regards, Timm

[aur-general] TU application: Chris Brannon
by Chris Brannon 22 Mar '09

22 Mar '09

Hello everyone! I wish to become an ArchLinux Trusted User. To that end, here is a bit of information pertaining to me. I started using Linux in the summer of 2000. Before that time, I used Unix shell accounts offered by various Internet service providers. I've been using some flavor of *nix since 1995. I'm blind, and I've always worked from a text console. Dialup Unix shell accounts had mostly vanished by 2000, so I installed Slackware. I used Slackware until early 2007, and I learned a great deal about Linux in the process. I could describe my reasons for dropping Slackware, but I won't. It's a fine distribution, and the answer to the "which distribution is best" question is mostly subjective. After looking at several distros, I settled on Arch in September of 2008. Moving to Arch was easy for me, because of my years of experience with Slackware. Currently, I maintain 8 packages in unsupported, and this number is growing. See the following URL for my work: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?SeB=m&K=cmb My username on the BBS, AUR, and wiki is cmb. I want to do my part to make ArchLinux more accessible to the blind. My first order of business is to submit two packages to the community repository: speakup and espeakup. These two packages provide one reliable method of supplying spoken output from the text console under Linux. I will endeavor to faithfully represent the interests of the whole ArchLinux user community, not just those of the tiny subset who are blind. Allan McRae is my sponsor. Thank you Allan. With kind regards, -- Chris

[aur-general] TU Application: Xyne
by xyne 20 Mar '09

20 Mar '09

Hi all, I'd like to apply to become a TU. Allan has agreed to be my sponsor. My reasons for wanting to become a TU are the following: I want to help out, improve Arch in general and give back to the distro (the typical clichéd response, but true nonetheless). I intend to eventually maintain some of my own packages in the community repo (not only them though). I hope to learn more about what goes on behind the scenes. I want to participate in decisions that affect Arch. Everyone keeps telling me to become a TU. I heard TUs get free tacos. As for packaging experience, I currently maintain 24 packages in the AUR (under the same name) and I host a public repo on my site (http://xyne.archlinux.ca/repositories) I've also played around with a few local repos (e.g. metapax pkgs, local AUR binary repos, customized ABS packages) and have written some tools that deal with pkg and repo creation and maintenance (makerepo, metapax, pacpan). I'll admit that many of the PKGBUILDs for my own tools are trivial but some of the ones I maintain in the AUR aren't. I've also managed to work my way through the (g)vi(m) PKGBUILDs and scripts to get them to build with the latest patch level at the time :P . Overall, I still consider myself somewhat new to Linux and I haven't yet had to patch anything myself or deal with really complicated build errors, but I'm sure that I'll learn how to handle such issues as I'm learning the rest of it. I tend to know my own limits and generally don't dive into things that I can't handle, so you don't have to worry about me borking anything. For those of you who don't know me, I'm quite active on the forum so you can probably get a general idea of who I am from my posts there. Thanks for considering this application. /Xyne

[aur-general] Request: Delete/rename mislabeled "rudl" package
by Henning Bekel 18 Mar '09

18 Mar '09

I maintain an package called "rudl" in unsupported. It provides ruby bindings to SDL, and it's a nice (more ruby-ish) alternative to ruby-sdl. I simply called it "rudl" back then, but now I think it should be renamed to "ruby-rudl", following the naming scheme other ruby packages use. If you agree, please remove it, and I'll upload a properly named package. Henning

[aur-general] Delete duplicate xampp package
by Sven-Hendrik Haase 16 Mar '09

16 Mar '09

Currently, there are two packages for xampp that do the same thing: xampp-linux, which was there two years earlier and just xampp. The xampp PKGBUILD is pretty much the xampp-linux PKGBUILD with added stuff for taking care of x86_64 because the regular xampp-linux package will not work properly with x86_64. Therefore, this situation is a little complicated. I propose the deletion of the xampp package and notification of the xampp-linux package maintainer in order to make the package x86_64 compatible.

[aur-general] Deletion request (ogmtools)
by G_Syme 14 Mar '09

14 Mar '09

Could someone please remove the package ogmtools which I've uploaded to AUR a few minutes ago [1] ? I must admit I have only checked the Arch repos with the "whohas" tool (which didn't find the package already present in [extra]...), and not manually. Sorry about that. Thanks in advance.

[aur-general] Integrity Check status page
by Xavier 13 Mar '09

13 Mar '09

I regularly check out the new results of the Integrity Checks, but it is not always easy to remember which issues were already reported and where. So I created my first wiki page to track that : http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Integrity_Check If you think this page is useful, but could be improved (more information, different layout), suggestions are welcome. Anyway, it could really be useful only if a few dev and TUs could check it and update it regularly.

[aur-general] Suggestion: See list of packages that you have voted on/commented on/receive notifications for

I think it would be pretty helpful if you could see which packages you have voted on, commented on and receive notifications for in AUR. Currently, the only way to keep track is by writing it down, which is barely intuitive.

[aur-general] Package removal/orphan request (stackless-python, clojure-svn, firestarter)
by Sven-Hendrik Haase 12 Mar '09

12 Mar '09

Please remove or ophan stackless-python and clojure-svn and let me take over those packages (My AUR nick is Svenstaro). I've contacted both authors but they didn't answer in two weeks and show no interest in Arch anymore. I think it is safe to assume that they have forgotten they even made those packages. I hereby solemnly swear that I will take care of the packages like they were my own flesh and blood, I shall shelter them from fire and certain death. Also, please remove/ban the firestarter in extra, it is a very old, now broken piece of software which hasn't seen any love for quite a long time. In it's current state, it endangers users more than it helps keep them secure, therefore I request a removal and ban if possible until the firestarter project eventually releases a new version. Sven

[aur-general] packages for adoption

Hi again! Thank you all for your replies! :-) Here's the (commented) list of packages: :: Unsupported :: * 4l * lightscribe * lightscribe-labeler * lightscribe-sdk LightScribe support will have to stay in Unsupported because the license doesn't allow redistribution (as I understand). * abraca * coyote * esperanza-git * kpdf2 * swiftfox-pentium2 * wterm These packages are actually not mine, another user has asked me to keep an eye on them half year ago, some time ago he agreed that it would be good to orphan them * cronolog * cronolog-beta * dav * moe * ndn - closed-source * ndn-beta - highly unstable * new-murrine-configurator - AFAIR it should replace murrine-configurator (it should have become official by now, but this should be checked) * teapop :: Community :: * abyssws - closed source 32-bit only, may go to Unsupported * agave * audacious-docklet - dead * audacious-itouch-control - no new version expected * bakery * balsa * brasero + libburn + libisofs * cherokee * colorer - no new version for a long time, required for mc-colorer, but is usable without it * computertemp * confuse * eiciel * esekeyd - no new version expected, not very useable 'cause runs everything as root, so special steps should be taken to make it work nicely with GUI apps (see config I created) * everygui - no new version is expected * font-mathematica * gdm-themes - licenses need to be reviewed, I've lost my local PKGBUILD modification :-( * gdmap - does not compile with recent gtk2 versions, no new version is expected * gimmage - no new version for a long time * gimmix - no new version for a while, but it was said that there will be new major version with GUI overhaul * glom - AFAIR it requires libgdamm for libgda 3.0 which is not stable (not in Extra at least), that's why I haven't updated it yet (and had no time to dig further) * gnochm * gnome-commander * gnome-schedule * gnomebaker - was dead, then resurrected, but no new versions since then * gpa * gpg-crypter * gshutdown - no new version is expected * gstm - no new version is expected * gtk2_prefs - no new version is expected * gtvg * gwget - needs regular patching of configure/makefiles to work with the latest epiphany * hal-cups-utils * hardware-monitor - dead, doesn't work with lm_sensors 3, no patch is known (=> Unsupported/remove) * homebank * iksemel * iniparser - there is version 3 beta, but it should be a separate package due to API change and existence of packages in Community that makedepend on it (e.g. isomaster), so this package should be left untouched * isomaster * kungfu * libconfig * libesmtp * libgdamm * libgtksourceviewmm * libgtksourceviewmm2 * libnewt * libxnvctrl - with each new nvidia driver it should be checked if new version of NVControl exists (nvcontrol.h) * link-monitor-applet * mc-colorer - patched mc with highlighting provided by colorer, no utf8 support, no new version for long time * metakit * mtpaint * music-applet * mxml * nautilus-actions * nautilus-audio-convert * nautilus-locked-folder * nautilus-open-terminal * nautilus-share * network-ups-tools - needs fixing * opera-static * parano * partimage - probably some bugs exist, not sure * pycups * python-pychm * rawstudio * rlocate - needs update for 2.6.25, but doesn't do its job anyway because LSMs are static since 2.6.24, no patch exists on Internet though it's a well-known issue, I was able to make it build and load, but not do the job (so move to Unsupported and wait for adventurous hacker to make it working) * rlocate-utils - userspace companion for the above * screenlets * sensors-applet * serpentine * superswitcher * system-config-printer * tea * tea-lite - cut down version of the above (note that the patch for libcurl removal is not needed when building in a clean chroot) * ttf-freefont - there were concerns about its quality (mainstream, not package) * ttf-liberation * urlgfe * visitors * vmoviedb * vsftpd-ext - patched vsftpd with more features, useful for users of Cyrillic charsets * webfs * wzdftpd * xcursor-* :: VirtualBox and (make)dependencies :: * virtualbox-* * dev86 * iasl * xalan-c Note: some of these are no longer needed since v1.6 :: will maintain by myself :: * aspell-uk, openoffice-spell-uk, openoffice-uk - I'm Ukrainian ;-) * hddtemp - abandoned, but still maintained by Debian and is very useful, from time to time new patches or db update arrives * pessulus - looks like it is (or will be soon) integrated into Sabayon Also, I'd like to maintain VirtualBox (though I won't be able to update until this weekend) unless there someone that has experience in building that beast wants to grab it. Due to Sun's downloading silliness - I think the source should be stored on our ftp, otherwise it gets downloaded with the huge filename. If you are interested in maintaining some packages - just adopt them. It won't be a problem for me to update those that will be left, if new versions of them are not released frequently, so don't feel it as your duty to grab all of them. That's all. -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)

[aur-general] coq in a stable repository
by Félix Sipma 07 Mar '09

07 Mar '09

Hi all, I have a request concerning the package coq. coq is a proof assistant which is used by a lot of people in the domain (I agree that that the proportion of arch users may seemed ridiculous, it is a tool for specialists) http://coq.inria.fr/ This software is designed by the French public computing institute INRIA. It is a really mature software, the development is active and it is very stable. Would it be possible to integrate it into a repository like community, extra or core? It depends on ocaml, and so I've tried to send a mail to the person who is in charge of this package but I have no answer... Thanks, Felix

I thought the consensus was that community doesn't need AUR. And in that case we just turn the daemons and cronjobs off and community goes on its merry way with devtools. We would then just alter the DB to make all community packages dummies.

[aur-general] why my package was deleted?
by Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi 02 Mar '09

02 Mar '09

Hi I make a package "perl-ack" and was delete without any reason/notification. I guess it was because they thought it was a duplicate of the "unsupported/ack" but this is not true. The "unsupported/ack" only contains a standalone "ack", without any perl module for develop app that uses ack, and no manpages. My package contains: usr/bin/perlbin/vendor/ack usr/share/man/man1/ack.1p.gz usr/share/man/man3/Plugin.3pm.gz usr/share/man/man3/Resource.3pm.gz usr/share/man/man3/Repository.3pm.gz usr/share/man/man3/Basic.3pm.gz usr/share/man/man3/Ack.3pm.gz usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/App/Ack.pm usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/App/Ack/Repository.pm usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/App/Ack/Plugin/ usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/App/Ack/Resource.pm usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/App/Ack/Plugin.pm usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/App/Ack/Plugin/Basic.pm Reupload? -- 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] Package Removal Request (various)
by M Rawash 02 Mar '09

02 Mar '09

here's a few packages that are no longer needed in AUR - hamster-applet (part of gnome, in extra) - xulrunner-devel (older than extra/xulrunner) - ejourn (project no longer exists) - openoffice.org-style-human (no longer exists) - gnome-device-manager (part of gnome, in extra) - gnome-panel-ubuntu (no longer exists) - firefox-qt-mercurial-ubuntu (no longer exists) i suggest the TU's do a "AUR cleanup day", we sort of had something like that back in openSUSE, where the devs get together (on irc) and organise a "bug squashing day" - basically we go into bugzilla and pickup invalid and wontfix bugs and start deleting or otherwise fix/assign them - ideas? regards, M Rawash

[aur-general] catalyst-beta removed/take care of illegal stuff!
by Andreas Radke 25 Feb '09

25 Feb '09

Today I asked Allan to remove 2 packages from AUR: catalyst-beta and catalyst-utils-beta. I know the situation of the catalyst driver packages isn't in the best state. But breaking laws and license agreements can't solve this in a proper way and we cannot allow to host this on our servers. All members of the AMD/Ati beta project have to sign briefly an agreement to not publish any online location where to get the source, not publish any issues and errors that come up and they even aren't allowed to publish anything about performance changes. Of cause you aren't allowed to give any 3rd person the beta installer directly. The packages in AUR had links to leaked sources directly included. All I know this is also breaking their licenses. That's why we removed these packages. TUs: Please have a look at what comes up in AUR and ask if you find something you are not sure if it allowed to be there. @all: don't blame me for taking you that possibility from you. Go and send a nice thanks to AMD for not doing public beta tests. We - the dev team will soon have to decide about future handling of the stable but almost always broken situation of AMD drivers. -AndyRTR

[aur-general] Discussion regarding TU Swiergot
by Ghost1227 21 Feb '09

21 Feb '09

Over the last few months, I have noticed that TU Swiergot has neglected his packages in community. I first noticed this with the cinelerra-cv package which was several months out of date and using the now-defunct cvs repo (cinelerra-cv switched to git two months ago). I posted a cinelerra-cv-git package to the AUR and attempted several times to contact him. Two months went by and I got no reply from any of the several addresses he has, so I discussed the situation with another TU, then updated his cinelerra-cv package and sent him another email notifying him of the update. I have since taken a look through his packages and the bugtracker. He has several packages marked out of date (and some have comments explaining fixes), as well as a handful of open bugs on the bugtracker. Since I have been unable to contact him through any means, I propose orphaning his packages so that more available TUs can take over the responsibility for them. There are several that I would be happy to take over (assaultcube, cinelerra-cv, cube, dosemu, fcrackzip, nexuiz, qemu-launcher, stegdetect, steghide, supertux and maybe a few others), and some of his packages (including some of the ones i'll take) should be dropped to the AUR.

[aur-general] Taking over abandoned but not orphaned package
by Andrei Thorp 20 Feb '09

20 Feb '09

Hello, I'm trying to slowly work my way into the Arch Community, and I'm starting by taking over some packages on AUR. One that I use myself and would like to take over is the package for DevTodo. This package has been unmaintained for at least a few months now, and the maintainer's e-mail bounces. The package is flagged out of date and doesn't build without modification. I've got an updated PKGBUILD and have filed a bug to the author at some point. I also run this software on both my 32 and 64 bit machines. Any chance a TU could pass on maintainership to me, or at least orphan the package? I've read that usually there is a warning to the maintainer, but he seems to be unreachable. Thanks, -Andrei Thorp

[aur-general] DomainU don't seem to boot with xen 3.3.1-1

19 Feb '09

Hi everyone, I upgraded my Arch install with the latest release and then installed Xen 3.3.1-1 on it. I booted successfully the Domain0 I wanted to install/test a new ArchLinux system as DomainU so I created a new DomainU (named arch-test) with the these settings : " # -*- mode: python; -*- #============================================================================ kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18.8-1-xenU" memory = 256 name = "Arch-Test" disk = [ 'file:/home/xen/arch-test/arch-test.img,hda1,w', 'file:/home/xen/arch-test/arch-test-swap,hda2,w' ] root = "/dev/hda1 ro" " When I enter : "xm create -c arch-test" on a xterm I get : 1- some messages from Python indicating there is some depreciated module (sha) 2- a new Qemu window (black background) 3- nothing else 4- after about 1 min the Qemu window disappear and I get a message error about vif I googled 2 days about this problem without any result. My question is : - Is my DomainU boots ? how I can see it ? - I tried to boot from an iso (xen option : boot='d') but this doesn't work at all... may be the same problem ? I will be glade to answer your questions. Regards

[aur-general] missing licenses
by Abhishek Dasgupta 19 Feb '09

19 Feb '09

The [community] packages which do not have a license: (list does not contain lib32* packages) * deb2targz: Appears to be a simple script file, without any kind of license information. * flightgear-atlas * gps * hula * kbd-ru-keymaps * p3scan: GPL with some OpenSSL exception. [1] * t1utils: custom license [2] * whitebox * xchatosd If some of these do not genuinely have a license, I think it's best to contact the upstream author and ask if we can distribute the binary; otherwise the package should be moved to unsupported.

[aur-general] TU Resignation angvp
by Angel Velásquez 16 Feb '09

16 Feb '09

Hi all, I've thinking this for a while, and it is, I quit (I had many doubts about if I am doing the right thing, so this wasn't an easy choice). I want to thank those all people who helped me (hdoria, Allan, BaSh, voidnull, dsa, bardo, and someother ppl), and I beg to the people that I've sponsored (Anders,haawda,even,ornitorrincos) don't feel disappointed, I trusted you to be here, and I hope to have you here for long time :-). Unfortunatelly, I got disappointed with many things, then I lost my enthusiasm... So I decided to left apart the crew and make more effort on other goals in my life. I will continue using Arch (until now I still thinking "Arch is the best distro that I found"), but I won't continue collaborating like I usually did, but surelly I will be pleased to be helpful if anyone needs me. This was a good chapter in my life, because I really enjoyed being a TU and being a part of an important Open Source project (for me Arch was very important in my life). Feel free to grab and drop any of my packages, I won't continue maintaining them, for now no-one is out-of-date, just mysql-gui-tools, because r14 isn't easy at all to build, and I tried several times but I failed to package a version with this release.. Best wishes for you, and I hope the project gets more enthusiastic people (like the great community that we have) everyday, and maybe (who knows?) I will got involved again. -- Angel 'angvp' Velásquez angvp @ irc.freenode.net Linux Counter: #359909 Arch Linux Trusted User (I really will miss this part of my signature)

[aur-general] TU Resignation
by Anders Bergh 16 Feb '09

16 Feb '09

Hi, With the news of angvp just resigning... well, I've also thought about resigning for some time now. I don't really have a lot of time for TU work because of real life stuff, so I've neglected it too much recently. That is why I feel I shouldn't really be a TU anymore. My packages in community are: 6tunnel dmd (out-dated) dsss (maybe out-dated) libphobos (out-dated) libtango (probably out-dated) luafilesystem luajit luasql-mysql premake (out-dated) I've orphaned them and the following AUR packages since I don't really have time to maintain them: libtango-svn lualdap lualogging luasql-sqlite3 nano-svn neverball-svn php-xcache wol I wish the best of luck to all the current and future TUs out there. -- Anders Bergh
