[aur-general] ufoai: separate packages or one big?
by Lukáš Jirkovský 14 Mar '08

14 Mar '08

Hi, I've problem with deciding if it's better to have this great game splitted into two separate packages: package with data and package with game engine or if I should make one big package including both game data and engine. Now I'm maintaining it in two separate packages, but I still have problems with dependencies. Some users wrote me that it would be better to have data dependent on engine and some think exactly the opossite. How should I treat it? Thanks for any suggestion, Lukas "6xx" Jirkovsky

[aur-general] question on devtools / aurtools
by Firmicus 13 Mar '08

13 Mar '08

Just a quick question relating to devtools and aurtools. pacman / makepkg now support arch=any, but AFAICS the current version of extrapkg (to which communitypkg is a symlink) does not support uploading packages built with $CARCH="any"... Is this likely to change soon? François

[aur-general] some jokers spuriously flagging out-of-date?
by Firmicus 10 Mar '08

10 Mar '08

In recent weeks I've had too many cases of up-to-date packages being flagged out-of-date by some jokers. I find this annoying. Did some of you experience that too? I hope this is not done out of malevolence, but I would urge users to PLEASE check twice before flagging out-of-date! Thanks F

[aur-general] lzma
by Firmicus 10 Mar '08

10 Mar '08

Hi everyone, The TeXLive project is considering using the lzma format instead of bz2 for its next release, and I wondered whether it is supported by makepkg. It is not, as I expected. But to my suprise, there is not even a PKGBUILD for it in AUR/unsupported! I have thus just uploaded lzma-utils to [community]. In case some of you are interested, it is said to achieve 15% better compression rates than bzip2 while being 2 to 5 times faster. And decompression is nearly as fast as gunzip (see http://tukaani.org/lzma/) Regards, François PS: A quick question: I have built a x86_64 package on Aaron's machine. What should I do to upload and commit it to the repo? Just "communitypkg" ?

[aur-general] Can it be done?
by Collin 29 Feb '08

29 Feb '08

NOTE: This is my first actual fresh pkgbuild. What a way to start! I've been looking into creating a package for FreePBX. However, I'm now wondering if it can be done with the pkgbuild system. The problem is that FreePBX wants a # of changes to a variety of packages (namely, mysql, apache, and php) and it wants to check to see that those changes are done before it installs. For instance, it wants mysql to already have a user account and PW for it as well as tables setup, etc. It seems like it might be difficult to make a package first add a bunch of system changes and then install the files. Is this possible to do? I'm thinking that my only hope would be to patch the FreePBX installer so that it no longer checks and instead make all of the necessary changes in an .install file which would run after the package is installed, correct? It would have been helpful if there was much of any documentation on how to go about building packages. But, I can't seem to find much of anything concrete.

[aur-general] little AUR glitches
by Firmicus 28 Feb '08

28 Feb '08

On the main page of AUR, my statistics indicate that I have one package flagged out-of-date, but I have looked at the list of my packages and I simply cannot find it. Could someone check this please? thanks! Oh, and one more thing: on the packages page, when I select "Location=community", "Per page = 100" and click on "Orphans", I see items 1 to 100 of a list of 109. But clicking the link "More" at the bottom right does not bring one to the next page with items 101 to 109: instead I get the same first page. F

[aur-general] TU Voting On The AUR
by Callan Barrett 22 Feb '08

22 Feb '08

See here if you're logged in as a TU: http://aur.archlinux.org/tu.php Alright, I know I'm not a TU anymore but this is pretty important, this is the new interface for voting for stuff as TUs which automates the process somewhat and pretties it up a bit. You might have seen the thread about two months ago about this and some screenshots which are basically the same as it is now, I put this together because of how disorganized the voting process currently is and how hard it is to check up on who voted or not. With this system it would become harder to miss votes (there's nothing like email notification but that's no trouble to add) and incredibly simple to find who has voted recently and who hasn't, your vote isn't actually recorded, only the fact that you did vote which also makes it basically anonymous as opposed to the public voting on the ML. So the whole thing is there ready for use and now it's just a matter of if you want to use it or not. Maybe you want to vote on it or just switch or whatever you like. If you do decide to keep it and use it I can add whatever is required to make the application more user friendly like email notification and some sort of stats page (right now there's no front-end to tell who voted or not which needs to be added soon) and so on. Although it's pretty trivial to remove the new voting system I think this interface is only improving on what was a fairly messy and flawed voting system previously. Again, this is pretty important and I'd like input from as many people as possible. -- Callan 'wizzomafizzo' Barrett

[aur-general] [REMOVAL: DISCUSSION PERIOD] filoktetes
by Ronald van Haren 21 Feb '08

21 Feb '08

Hi all, As stated by the bylaws, a removal thread due to unwarranted and undeclared inactivity is automatically triggered after missing at least three consecutive voting procedures. Filoketes has missed the last 4 voting procedures, does not respond, and never declared himself inactive. The relevant part of the bylaws: active TUs that keep quorum from being established on a voting procedure for three consecutive voting procedures (they need not be on the same motion) are automatically brought up for removal procedure, by reason of unwarranted inactivity. There is one special case for removal, removal due to unwarranted and undeclared inactivity, for which standard voting procedure deviates from the above. This motion is also automatically triggered by repeated quorum offenses, as described in the Quorum subsection of this document. For this special case, SVP is followed with a discussion period of three days, a quorum of 66%, and a voting period of 5 days. SVP( inactivity_removal_of_TU, 3, 0.66, 5 ); I already opened a couple of threads before, the last one of them gives a good overview of the situation: We already had an unofficial 'discussion' in this thread: http://archlinux.org/pipermail/aur-general/2008-February/006988.html I'm feeling sorry for having to do this, but this mail starts the 3 days discussion period.

Hi, When a search of AUR packages returns more than one page of results, navigation links are presented at the bottom of the screen.

Apparently I am NOT subscribed to one of the email lists that this was discussed on, so alas, I could NOT respond or have any knowledge of any such discussions. I also do NOT have any private emails from anyone on this subject either over the past two days. I was specifically NOT ignoring anyone, including Ronald, but rather I had no idea of what was being discussed. AND this package was removed *altogether* but NOT by me, and certainly before I could have responded. <- That is perfectly fine with me. Under the circumstances I fully agree. I would *also* be happy to replace it in unsupported, as apparently it has been determined to NOT have it in any repo. Finally, while I *did* read the license, it was not until I read some of the scuttlebutt on the internet that I appreciated all of the issues folks seem to have with Google's licensing. The license is, in simple language, exceptionally poorly written and subject to an incredible range of legal interpretation. <- This ALONE is a good enough reason for me to agree that it does not belong in ANY repo associated with Arch. SO, *if* you guys want I can replace it into unsupported alongside the existing bin32 package that currently resides there. Please advise me accordingly. Thanks in advance for letting me know *if* this program is wanted in unsupported. Very best regards; Bob Finch P.S.... Will it be possible to retain or reinstate the 250-odd votes this package received ?; as it is now NOT extent in either unsupported OR the community repo, and it would be nice to be able to properly reflect the voting.

[aur-general] moblock, libnetfilter_queue and libnfnetlink orphan request
by Filip Wojciechowski 18 Feb '08

18 Feb '08

Hello, I'd like to adopt moblock AUR package and its dependencies -- libnetfilter_queue and libnfnetlink. All of these packages are out of date and the version of moblock currently in AUR doesn't work at all since 2.6.23 kernel. I've tried emailing the current maintainer (nice_guy_eddy) but his email doesn't seem to exist anymore -- my email to him bounced back. Thanks for your help, Filip Wojciechowski (fwojciec)

[aur-general] license issues with google-earth in [community]?
by Pierre Schmitz 18 Feb '08

Hi, I just noticed that there is google-earth in our repos. I am not an expert in such things, but distributing such software does not seem to be allowed. The license says: You agree that you will not, and will not allow any third party to, (i) copy, sell, license, distribute, transfer, modify, adapt, translate, prepare derivative works from, decompile, reverse engineer, disassemble or otherwise attempt to derive source code from the Software, unless otherwise permitted, (ii) take any action to circumvent or defeat the security or content usage rules provided, deployed or enforced by any functionality (including without limitation digital rights management functionality) contained in the Software, (iii) use the Software to access, copy, transfer, transcode or retransmit content in violation of any law or third party rights, or (iv) remove, obscure, or alter Google's copyright notices, trademarks, or other proprietary rights notices affixed to or contained within or accessed in conjunction with or through the Software.

[aur-general] subcommander orphan request

Hi, The version of subcommander-1.x in AUR has not been updated since August 2006. I have posted a comment with an updated PKGBUILD for 1.2.2 and e-mailed a new tarball to the current maintainer. No response was forthcoming. There is a subcommander2-svn also in AUR but I will be happy to maintain version 1.x until 2.x becomes mainstream. Regards, Neil Darlow

[aur-general] [DISCUSSION] filoktetes
by Ronald van Haren 18 Feb '08

18 Feb '08

As suggested by Callan, I will first start an open discussion about this subject. I tried to contact filoktetes for the last couple of weeks, first on 30th of January, after which I started a ping thread for him about a week after that, and contacted him by private mail three days ago. As he did never respond, I think it is time to take action. So what is the deal... - he missed the last 4 votes, which is by definition enough to start a removal discussion - currently 11 out of his 35 packages our out of date - he did never say he is inactive (AFAIK), though he seems not to reply He did update 2 packages on 31th of January, which is 1 day after my first mail. The last update before that dates from the 8th of December. I do not have anything against him personally, but I think this kind of behavior hurts the [community] repo, and the AUR in general. Please discuss!

[aur-general] mysql-5.0.51-3 broke.
by Jason R Begley 15 Feb '08

15 Feb '08

I found that the mysql-5.0.51-3 package ignores the directive in the my.cnf - datadir and defaults to the /var/lib/mysql folder.the 2 package did not have this problem. I rigged it to work by setting MYSQLD_ROOT in /etc/rc.conf/mysqld. Was this intentional? Thanks, Jason

[aur-general] Resignation from Dev/TU position
by Varun Acharya 08 Feb '08

08 Feb '08

Hi guys, After a lot of thought, I've realised I've reached a point where I don't have the time and energy to contribute to Arch anymore. I'm at a transitional period from an intern to a practicing dentist(2 months to go), and a lot of work needs to be done, all of which requires a good amount of my time. I also will be travelling on business/education a lot this year, and for a good amount of time will not have access to any linux box to do Arch related work. And most importantly, I have to do a huge amount of studying this year to write a couple of board exams in the latter part of the year. I've tried balancing my schedule to get more time with arch in, but it doesn't seem to be working out too well, and I clearly need to focus on my profession. I don't want to see the quality of my packages suffer or my packages being out of date for long periods of time, so I decided that the best thing for me to do would be to step down at this point. The packages I've disowned and which are up for grabs are (luckily not too many): foobillard libbtctl bladeenc dvdbackup handbrake miro showimg smplayer (-rc currently in testing) smplayer-themes d4x deluge firestarter nicotine transmisson wicd gspcav1 I do hope I can set things right in my life and rejoin you guys sometime in (hopefully not too distant) the future. I will of course continue to use Arch all the time :) and try to help out occasionally when x86_64 difflist goes out of control :). Good luck to Aaron and the rest of the dev team, and all the TU's. Its been awesome. Regards, Varun "ganja_guru" Acharya

Hi all - This is just a heads up that I have taken over maintenance of the orphaned packages asterisk, asterisk-addons and zaptel. I will check out the other asterisk related packages and see if they are in need of maintaining or if they are no longer in development. I currently have the i686 versions up and will work on x86-64 if there are requests. Thank you, Jason

[aur-general] oh, and if you try secondlife PKGBUILDs I send
by Paul Dufresne 03 Feb '08

03 Feb '08

Oh, and if you try secondlife PKGBUILD I sent, please note that we have distcc (pacman -Sy distcc), so you could get much faster results using this and removing DISTCC=no. Also FMod and x86_64 are said to not work together. Anyway, the SConstruct file (some kind of Makefile in Python) does deactivate FMod on x86_64. But of course, avoiding to touch these PKGBUILDs could help you very much keep your mental sanity.

[aur-general] going from secondlife to nunit as root problem
by Paul Dufresne 03 Feb '08

03 Feb '08

Well, in last 48 to 72 hours, I have been trying to build secondlife from source on x86_64, with less and less hope after each hours. Searching for help, I discovered libsecondlife: http://www.libsecondlife.org/wiki/Main_Page and http://opensimulator.org/ . Being in .NET, I hope, or at least was hoping, to have much less problems compiling it. So I began to follow instructions at: http://www.libsecondlife.org/wiki/Getting_Started#Linux Seems we have in extra: mono, nant and subversion.

[aur-general] Are these people still active as a TU ?
by Ronald van Haren 01 Feb '08

01 Feb '08

Hi, >From http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Trusted_Users I see a couple of people of which I'm either not sure if the are still a TU, or have still interest in the TU responsibilities. These are: encelo: he has no packages in community and is in the AUR not listed as TU filoktetes: list mail to this list was 23th of December. 9/35 packages flagged out of date. iphitus: has 1 package in community and is of course a dev. pjmattal: has 1 package in community and is also a dev. Please report if you are still interested in being a TU. If someone else knows more, I'm glad to hear :) I will start a ping thread for each of these four people in about a weak if the status of them is still unknown by then. Regards, Ronald

[aur-general] need 32 bits testing (i686) of gtk2hs-darcs
by Paul Dufresne 31 Jan '08

31 Jan '08

If someone could test my new (and first) package on a 32 bit systems: gtk2hs-darcs It seems gtk2hs developers have not (much) tested on i686 lately, a bug was found and corrected, but I'd like to know if there is others. Don't reply to this message directly, write comment on the package page. The ideal tester would be someone knowing darcs and Haskell with i686, but only i686 is essential. Pay, is the feeling to have contributed to Gtk2HS ;-) Thanks!

[aur-general] TU Resignation
by Callan Barrett 31 Jan '08

31 Jan '08

Hey there, I was thinking about this for a while and finally decided to write the email. I've been doing this thing for about 12 months now and to be honest it's gotten really boring lately being a TU, I now think packaging is the most tedious and annoying process ever and I don't think I can be bothered doing this anymore. Anyway, I maintain 75 packages in community, most of which being the xfce-svn ones, but they're all pretty easy to maintain. I don't know exactly what should happen to the xfce-svn packages, although it would be great if another TU maintains them it is a lot of packages and it might be best they go into unsupported for now, if anyone is interested there is a script I have to automate the whole process of updating it. The rest of the packages are pretty minor, maybe even don't need to be in community, and it wouldn't be hard to just pick a few out. So there we go, I'll probably stay involved with Arch but definitely not the packaging side of it. Good luck to the rest of the TUs. -- Callan 'wizzomafizzo' Barrett

[aur-general] Cross-compiler that installs in non-standard directories
by bardo 31 Jan '08

31 Jan '08

Hi all. I've never seen an official cross-compiler package in arch, so I'm not sure if I'm breaking some rule here. I'm going to release to [community] in a short time a set of packages (binutils-avr, gcc-avr and avr-libc) which previously installed in /opt/avr. According to the guidelines I moved everything to /usr, but a couple non-standard directories are created. One is /usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu, which should be fine, the other is /usr/avr, which contains its own lib and include directories. Obviously namcap complains, but this directory structure solves some conflicts: for example /usr/avr/include/ctype.h would overwrite /usr/include/ctype.h... Should I go for it? C.

[aur-general] Replaced packages still in community
by Allan McRae 30 Jan '08

30 Jan '08

Well avoiding doing work today, I noticed a few packages still in community that were replaced by other packages. In some cases this was long ago... Here is a possibly non-exhaustive list: lmctl (codemac - replaced by lomoco from v1.0-1 [2006-05-05]) ruby-qt (dsa - replaced by ruby-kde from v3.4.92-1 [2006-06-13]) em8300-cvs (swiergot - replaced by em8300 from v0.16.0_rc6 [2006-11-26]) python-ctypes (dsa - replaced by python from v2.5-3 [2007-03-18]) libgtk-java (sergej - replaced by java-gnome from v4.0.5 [2008-01-06]) Some of the older replacements only used "replaces" and not "provides" but anything requiring them should be updated by now. java-gnome uses the provides/replaces strategy. Is there any reason that these are still in the repository or can they be removed? Cheers, Allan

Not really. I'm pretty sure I told sergej. I will mail him again if he doesn't read that here.

[aur-general] rb_libtorrent moved from community
by Sebastian Nowicki 30 Jan '08

30 Jan '08

Hi, I was just packaging btg in order to move it to community, but I realised that rb_libtorrent is in unsupported. I looked at the details page[1] and it appears pressh moved it from community. Was there any reason for moving it back to unsupported? There's also a small annoyance with the libtorrent and rb_libtorrent packages - they conflict. The two packages provide different libraries, but conflict due to having the same paths. There is a package in unsupported called librtorrent [2] which resolves the issue. Since libtorrent already exists in community, the package, along with rs_rtorrent, should be either removed or the changes should be implemented in libtorrent. There was also some discussion about this conflict on the bbs [3], which provides more detail. It appears Debian is having the same problem [4]. Their solution is to rename the packages to libtorrent-rakshasa and libtorrent-rasterbar, which may be better package names than rb_libtorrent and librtorrent. I think it would be better if these packages wouldn't conflict, but excessive renaming of packages is probably unnecessary.

[aur-general] Popular new Chinese fonts looking for TU adoption
by Qianqian Fang 29 Jan '08

29 Jan '08

hi all I am not sure if this is the right place to post an adoption request, if not, please advise me the appropriate mailing list. I am an upstream author of a set of popular Chinese fonts. My team and I spent the past 3.5 years developing high quality free fonts for CJK users, including the first manually fine-tuned multi-strike bitmap font with full coverage to GB18030 charset (WenQuanYi Bitmap Song), and the first open-source Hei Ti (sans-serif) vector font (WenQuanYi Zen Hei). These fonts are quite popular in the Chinese community, and widely distributed by Debian, Fedora, Ubuntu etc. Contributors also packaged these fonts for ArchLinux, with the hope of benefiting ArchLinux Chinese users. The links to these packages can be found at http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?K=wqy The submitters of the packages recently contacted me and expressed their desires of pushing these fonts to "community", as both fonts got reasonable votes and popularity among the users. However, they have not yet been able to locate a TU to adopt these packages. So, we are looking for TU(s) who is able to take and help maintaining these Chinese font packages. The package submitters (CCed) and the upstream are willing to help and clarify things in the process of packaging. Please let us know if you are interested. thank you for your attention. Qianqian

[aur-general] TU: Disown extract-xiso please
by Wes Brewer 29 Jan '08

29 Jan '08

Could a TU please disown the extract-xiso package. It was added in April 2005 and has never seen an update. I would like to take over this package and I've tried to contact the contributer without success. Further investigation into this users packages reveals that 3 out of 4 of his packages are flagged out of date, all 4 of them were added in April 2005 and have never seen an update. Maybe it would be best to disown all of his packages as the contributer doesn't seem to be around anymore. At least then others could take over the PKGBUILD's. List of achlinux-nl's pacakges: cage, eggdrop, extract-xiso, gnuvd Thank You Wes,

[aur-general] About ghc updates and cabalized packages
by Vesa Kaihlavirta 29 Jan '08

29 Jan '08

Simo (and others who work on Haskell packages), Currently, every even minor ghc update breaks all packages that are registered via Cabal. This is not because of API incompatibilities but because the new version of ghc overwrites the Cabal db. This can be manually fixed by running all /usr/share/haskell/*/register.sh. I was wondering... could ghc do that itself in post_upgrade()? --vk

[aur-general] orphaned packages in community
by Ronald van Haren 28 Jan '08

28 Jan '08

Hi all! I just took a look at the orphaned packages in community. I must say, they are quite a few (68, I added the full list at the end of this mail). If any of these belong to you and you did forget to adopt it after uploading, please do so now. If you did upload one of these and lost interest in it, please move it either to unsupported or post it in this thread so someone else can adopt it. In about a week time I will post the remaining list of orphaned packages at that time, so anyone interested (or needed as a dep) can adopt one of those. The rest I will move to unsupported a week or so after that. If you think the time schedule I mentioned is too short, please let me know so I can change it.

[aur-general] cdrtools package
by Lukáš Jirkovský 28 Jan '08

28 Jan '08

Hi, I'd like to maintain cdrtools package in AUR. User maintaining this package (alejandronova) seems not updating packages any more (he has 3 packages in AUR and 2 of them are out-of-date). I've contacted him before Christmas and I haven't got response yet. Please, can somebody orphan this package? Thanks Lukas '6xx' Jirkovsky

[aur-general] eb- & arp- tables packages / other question
by Michal Soltys 28 Jan '08

28 Jan '08

Hello I've added ebtables recently, but arptables is already added by someone else. Problem is - that PKGBUILD is a little careless (using /usr/local, trying to install into real filesystem). I left a comment and contacted current maintainer by mail, but no reply so far. What is the best way to adopt such package ? As for the the other question - I've some builds for already existing packages, but in a bit specialized way - i.e. by default installing into chroot environment. Is it ok to add such packages to AUR (i.e. mldonkey-chroot) with proper conflicts / provides tables ?

Hello, I'm using backup-manager for my personal backups and this package is maintained by thtde in AUR. This user has got 2 packages: qbankmanager and backup-manager and both are flagged out-of-date.

[aur-general] kernel modules depends
by Roman Kyrylych 26 Jan '08

26 Jan '08

Hi! In order to implement FS#7150 for Community packages I ask all TUs to use the following dependency scheme in next versions of your packages (which will happen when 2.6.24 will hit Core): depends=('kernel26>=2.6.24-2' 'kernel26<=2.6.25' 'foobar-utils') In this case when user has an older kernel version (e.g. 2.6.23.x) - (s)he won't be annoyed by pacman who will want to upgrade foobar module and broke the system. And when version 2.6.25 will be released - Pacman won't allow the user to upgrade to it when there's at least one not-yet-updated module. Note that it is 2.6.24-2, not -1 in above example - this is because there was a configuration change to important kernel subsystem that required all modules to be rebuilt. You should always change depends version in such cases, otherwise some people with out-of-sync kernel and module version will report that module is broken. I already added this to http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Kernel_Module_Package_Guidelines (feel free to improve that text). -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)

[aur-general] TU Resignation - mOLOk
by Alessio 'mOLOk' Bolognino 25 Jan '08

25 Jan '08

Hi fellow TUs, ~13 months have passed since my election, today I decided to step down. I really enjoyed doing this job, it taught myself a lot and gave me the chance to give back something to this great community. The first months I created hundreds (literally) of packages, I gave suggestions to AUR users how to improve their packaging skills and things like that. Lately my enthusiasm dropped and slowly reached zero. When I receive an out of date notification instead of thinking "Cool, a new version of that app.", I think "Oh, cr*p, I have to update and test that silly stuff". So, "It's not funny anymore"™. Moreover, I'd like to spend more time studying and contributing to different projects. Anyway, I'll still use Arch, so you'll probably read my mails now and then on the mailing lists 8) Now, the technical stuff, this is the list of the packages I maintain in [community]: gnome/gtranslator - not required by any package lib/confuse - required by tilda and awesome (maybe others) lib/fpconst - req. by python-soappy lib/gnu-efi - req. by refit lib/librsync - req. by rdiff-backup lib/python-soappy - not required by any lib/python-sqlalchemy - req. by griffith multimedia/griffith - not required by any multimedia/lxmusic - broken multimedia/mp3gain - not required by any network/ddclient - not required by any network/flock - not required by any network/links-g - not required by any network/mldonkey - not required by any network/sopcast - required by gsopcast and qsopcast network/youtube-dl - not required by any system/mairix - not required by any system/man-pages-it - not required by any system/nopaste - not required by any system/pommed - required by gpomme system/rdiff-backup - not required by any system/unace - not required by any x11/gpomme - not required by any x11/gsopcast - not required by any x11/lxpanel - not required by any x11/lxsession - not required by any x11/netwmpager - not required by any x11/obmenu - not required by any x11/openbox-themes - not required by any x11/pcmanfm - not required by any x11/sancho-gtk - not required by any x11/smplayer - required by smplayer-themes x11/smplayer-themes - not required by any x11/sux - not required by any x11/xkbset - not required by any note: smplayer{,-themes} will go in [extra] when qt4 will go out of [testing]; pommed/gpomme require an Apple laptop to be tested; lxmusic is broken and the author won't fix it any time soon. I'll move packages that won't be adopted in 2,3 weeks in [unsupported] (so please don't delete my account yet :) Cheers, -- Alessio 'mOLOk' Bolognino Arch Linux Trusted User (for the last time :) Please send personal email to themolok(a)gmail.com Public Key http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xFE0270FB GPG Key ID = 1024D / FE0270FB 2007-04-11 Key Fingerprint = 9AF8 9011 F271 450D 59CF 2D7D 96C9 8F2A FE02 70FB

[aur-general] e17 packages in community (was orphaned packages in community)
by Ronald van Haren 21 Jan '08

21 Jan '08

To not clutter the 'orphaned packages in community' thread, I created a new one for discussing the e17 packages. As I have not yet heard something from reverie and I had some free time today, I decided to take a closer look to e17 (he is of course still free to contact me). Currently provided as orphans in community are snapshots. The latest e17 snapshot release has been August 2007 (the ones in community are one or two months older). This means that updating e17 to the latest snapshots still gives as an outdated version of e17. I did not find anything on the e17 mailing lists on when new snapshots will be provided, or why there are not updated anymore. So what have I done. I created all core e17 CVS packages from scratch and wrote a build script to easy update them all with just one command. I've been running them for the last 5 hours or so, and everything seems to work stable. I think it would not hurt if the CVS packages would come in place of the snapshots in community as it is not sure when, or even if the snapshots will be updated in the near future. If somebody is against, please speak. Also, I need somebody to at least test building it for x86_64 to check if I can safely use Aaron's build machine (I will contact him if so), or that I should better find someone to update it for x86_64. HOWTO TEST: Get the archive with all PKGBUILDs and the buildscript from http://pressh.googlepages.com/e17-cvs-pkgbuilds.tar.gz. Make sure you configure pacman to work with sudo before executing the buildscript (see the script for further details). For anybody else willing to test, you can add the following to your pacman.conf [e17-cvs] Server = http://pressh.googlepages.com/ Install the i686 versions with 'pacman -Sy e17-cvs' Thanks for your time!

[aur-general] disowning some packages
by Roman Kyrylych 20 Jan '08

20 Jan '08

Hi! After my inactivity period and finally restoring my internet connection I've realized that I cannot maintain many packages anymore, especially big ones. My speed is 6-8 kbytes/s. :-( Thus I'm willing to disown some of my packages. First of all, I want to get rid of games, because I don't play them anyway: - cube (requires zero maintainence because no longer developed, but still works) - assaultcube - sauerbraten (~200M, needs an update) - nexuiz (>250M) - glob2 Any volunteers? Next, I may also disown some other packages that need frequent updates because (most probably) I will move to another city next month and I don't know how easy it will be to get an ADSL (or at least a "street LAN") in a rented flat. If anyone is interested in maintaining some of my packages - let me know. -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)

[aur-general] blueman
by Abhishek Dasgupta 20 Jan '08

20 Jan '08

Hi everyone, blueman is a GTK+ bluetooth management utility for GNOME using bluez dbus backend. However for some features (for example network connectivity and bluetooth audio sharing) bluez-utils has to be recompiled with some more options, which are not there in the stock bluez-utils in Arch. I wish to move the package into [community], however lots of features will not work if bluez-utils is not recompiled with the extra options. AFAIK, Ubuntu has these options enabled by default (at least some of them) as one user reported blueman to be working perfectly in Ubuntu. Should I print out a warning message during install? Any suggestions? Thanks, Abhishek

[aur-general] Should TU put in [community] packages they use?
by bardo 19 Jan '08

19 Jan '08

This came to my mind reading the discussion about Sergej, but after some thinking I couldn't make up a clear opinion about it, so this thread just brings up the question. There's a few packages I maintain in unsupported that almost nobody voted, so I never moved them to [community]. But what if I use them in my daily activities? I'm interested in having an up-to-date package, so I'd maintain, build and test it anyway... should I share it with its (small) user base? Corrado

[aur-general] qt-4 and qt3 will move to [extra]
by Pierre Schmitz 19 Jan '08

19 Jan '08

Hi TUs, I plan to move qt-4, qt3 and all related packages from [testing] to [extra] this weekend. If you have any package which directly(!) depends on qt version 3 you'll have to update its dependency to qt3. If your package uses qt4 you mgiht want to change to just qt (but atm this is optional because qt provides qt4). If you package does not have a direct dependency like a kde application which just depends on kdelibs etc. you do not need to change anything. Greetings, Pierre -- http://www.archlinux.de

[aur-general] REMOVAL: Discussion Period for sergej
by Callan Barrett 19 Jan '08

19 Jan '08

sergej, this officially marks the discussion period for your removal as a Trusted User. For weeks now it's come to my attention many times your attitude as a Trusted User as well as the attention of several other people and I'm surprised it hasn't been brought up earlier, I'm going to list the reasons I believe you're no longer fit to be a Trusted User and I want you to defend yourself on these points: * You have neglected voting long enough to be brought up for removal, even longer if you do not vote again in the next 2 days, and when you do vote it is only just "acceptable". * You currently maintain 602 packages in the community repo: - This is an insane amount of packages by any standard and yet you keep adopting more for no apparent reason other than to bump your package count, not many of them have a high vote count so why is this? You're not helping out by adopting packages when you can't maintain them properly. - It's possible for me to pick out almost any package at random that you maintain and find something that goes against arch packaging standards such as missing maintainer tags, missing licenses and some of the weirdest build functions I've ever seen, it's as if you adopt these packages straight out of unsupported without checking them at all. - The fact you don't bother with licenses has already become an issue, as I pointed out recently on the ML (which you did not even reply to) you had packaged smf *illegally*. Furthermore you leave licenses blank, add bogus licenses such as "unknown" or don't add a license variable at all, this is obviously not good enough. * Aside from voting occasionally your contribution to discussions are very few, part of being a TU is the community aspect and I know you're not the only person who does this. ~70 of your packages are missing licenses. ~440 are missing either a maintainer tag of contributor tag. ~550 are missing a maintainer tag. I think you have too many packages for anybody to maintain properly which seems to be the cause of your neglect towards them and I can't think up any justifiable reason that you adopt so many in the first place. I want you to reply to this thread so you can hopefully justify your actions but to be honest I see no reason why you should continue being a Trusted User with this attitude towards the job you agreed to when you applied. So begins the three day discussion period, I'm very interested in anyone's response to this issue. -- Callan 'wizzomafizzo' Barrett

[aur-general] Versioned Provisions
by Aaron Griffin 18 Jan '08

18 Jan '08

This is a little "heads up" email to all the package maintainers out there. Pacman 3.1 has support for versioned provisions. But what this also means is that there's going to be some breakages in packages. Let me explain by way of example: package foo depends=(bar>=1.2) package omg provides=(bar) In the past, you could install both foo and omg at the same time and everything would be satisfied. Not now. Now, the provision of "omg" will fail, because it's not providing the right version. What does this mean? Well, a few things. First and foremost, versioned provisions are a little broken in 3.1.0, but 3.1.1 will fix all this py allowing you to say: provides=(bar=1.2) Did I get this right? Dan, Xavier?

[aur-general] TU Application - Sebastian Nowicki
by Sebastian Nowicki 16 Jan '08

16 Jan '08

Hi, my name is Sebastian Nowicki. You may know me as Xilon from IRC, the bbs, AUR, or even the bug tracker. I am a 19 year old Computer Science and Internet Computing student. I have been using Archlinux for just over a year. I have been supporting other Archlinux users over the past year on the IRC channel, where I am now an operator. For the past 4 months I have also been coding AUR2, which some of you may know. I maintain 13 package in unsupported, and have had one package (powertop) taken to community. I also maintained gtkdc and dclibc, but due to the projects dieing upstream, I recently orphaned them. Having an AMD64 processor I will be able to compile both i686 and x86_64 packages. I have already setup the necessary chroots in order to do so. As a TU I would initially move the following packages to community: * btg * dbhub * dina-font * grc * screenwm * subtle These packages aren't very active upstream in terms of development, so I will probably be able to take on more packages from unsupported, or even from sergej ;). Callan mentioned that he would sponser me.

(e.g. there's no need for Sauerbraten to use desktop-file-utils *just* because it includes .desktop file (it can be run a server only)).

Both Wizzo and myself have noticed that the 'communitypkg' package is "hanging" and requires a 'ctrl-c' to continue. The PKGBUILD seems to upload BUT the tarball does not. ALSO: the aur web interface does NOT record the new PKGBUILD either. Wizzo guesses that 'tupkg' is not connecting to 'aur'. In any event, I am guessing that someone who deals with this stuff, should look into this. Thanks for reading this.... Very best regards; Bob Finch Liviu Librescu - În veci pomenirea lui.

[aur-general] TU Application - Allan McRae
by Allan McRae 10 Jan '08

10 Jan '08

Hello, I'm Allan McRae and go by the imaginative username "Allan" on the AUR, forums and bug tracker. I maintain around 25 packages in the AUR (although around half of these are perl-modules) and have had a package moved to community (sunbird). If you elect me to be a TU, I will initially move several of my packages (xmltv + dependencies, desemume, colordiff) to community as well as a couple of other popular packages I use often that are fairly popular (jabref, possibly notecase). I am currently unable to build x86_64 packages as my 64bit desktop has been dead for the last three months (from a power surge I think) and I have given up on fixing it but will probably buy a new one in the coming months. I have been using Linux since Red Hat 8.0 was released (late 2002?). I shuffled from Fedora to Ubuntu to Debian before building a Linux From Scratch system. I discovered Arch when I was looking at finding a package manager to use in LFS and installed it "temporarily" to build my new LFS system. That was about a year and a half ago... I now have Arch installed on two servers, a (broken) desktop and a laptop. As an Arch user, I am fairly active on the forums and like to go bug squashing occasionally. I have also contributed a couple of patches to pacman. I have written a script for maintaining R libraries but I think no-one but me actually uses it. A bit about me personally. I am 27 years old, a New Zealander currently living in Brisbane, Australia. I work as a statistical geneticist for a large medical research institute. Apart from computers, my major hobbies include martial arts and watching anime. I have Roman lined up to sponsor me. Cheers, Allan

[aur-general] AUR CVS access and more
by Ronald van Haren 09 Jan '08

09 Jan '08

After I did send the output of htpasswd -n to simo, I was reading in the arch-dev mailing list, and it appears he is on a vacation untill the 14th of January. Is there someone else who can give me (and probably also Timm (?)) access to AUR cvs now he is away, and also can someone update my AUR account ? Also Eric is set as inactive, so my forum account will not be updated in a while (though this is not a major issue I guess). thank you :)

[aur-general] Applying to become TU.
by Mateusz Herych 09 Jan '08

09 Jan '08

Hello. I`am Mateusz Herych, from Poland. I`am 17 years old and I started with Linux 3 years ago (with Arch 2 years ago). I registrered in AUR in December 2006, partition is my login there. One of my packages has been moved to [community] repo (skype-staticqt). Now I`am maintainer of 15 PKGBUILDs there. Most of them I using by myself. I have some knowledge with C, C++, PHP and bash. I have experience with other project (SCXD - http://scxd.info) where I was a developer. My English is average (I have few gramatical problems, but I understand all). Why I want to become Trusted User? Currently I`ve installed Arch on more than 20 machines (many of them are at my school, unfortunately all of them are x86 :( ). I want to give something to this distribution. When I become TU I will move many of my packages to [community] repo, but I will adopt some packages like ircii-pana or idesk. Yes, I know that there are no new versions of them, but many people are using it yet. I`am trying to help other people on IRC (mostly on Polish channels and networks, but I talking on #archlinux@FreeNode too. My nick is Part` there.). I translated some news from http://archlinux.org to http://archlinux.pl. I promote Arch Linux in my community. So, I`am looking for someone want be my sponsor. Feel free to ask, if you want. Regards, Mateusz.

[aur-general] Resignation from TU group
by Eric Belanger 08 Jan '08

08 Jan '08

Hi everyone, I have decided to resign from the TU team because I have no longer the interest and time for TU specific duties like safe-flagging and the voting processs for TU candidates. Several of my packages in community/unsupported are available if someone else is interested in them: adesklet-yab buoh fish listen ltris musepack-tools plib pydilbert (unsupported) python-musicbrainz2 realplayer (unsupported) xarchive I'll keep them if no one else is interested in them. As for the rest of my packages, they'll be moved to extra or remain in community/unsupported where I'll continue maintaining them. I also would like to reduce my involvement with the community64 repo. I'll start another thread with more details upon that.

I invite everyone to give his opinion on this and have an open minded discussion. My 2 cents: I certainly think it should be possible. In my opinion you are elected as a TU, and not a TU trainee. See it in this way. If you get a new job it is also possible for you to propose changes. At your proposals should be looked upon in greater care (however it is always important to look at it with care), but you are allowed to propose things. That is what in my opinion is exactly what should happen. We have a voting mechanism, every TU is allowed to vote (actually I think you should vote) yes, no, or abstain. So if you think someone should not make a good new TU, you should vote NO. It is that easy. Like you say, you learn by doing things. Sponsoring someone is also doing something.

Hello, as I currently just have (easy) access to a 64bit machine I would like to find someone who could build my community packages. In reverse I would of course update his packages for 64bit. Currently I only have "avant-window-navigator" in community, and don't expect a much higher load of packages the next time, as I mainly build packages for 64bit at the moment. Regards, Timm

[aur-general] Clean up old Java 'GNOME' Bindings
by Timm Preetz 06 Jan '08

06 Jan '08

Hi, while compiling packages for x86_64 I came across two java-packages, that seem obsolete to me. I think they could be replaced by 'java-gnome' (which I maintain in AUR, could be moved to community). The packages are the following: glib-java (provided by java-gnome) cairo-java (not yet provided by java-gnome, requires glib-java) I think other (for example old gtk-java) were already deleted. So should these packages stay in community (cairo-java has only two votes), or should they be replaced by java-gnome? Regards, Timm

[aur-general] [arch-dev-public] Inactive for unspecified period of time
by Roman Kyrylych 05 Jan '08

05 Jan '08

Hi all! I have <1 minute to write this email, so I'll be quick. I'm very sorry about my disappearance. My connection at job got down during Bug Day this Saturday and I got cable breakage somewhere on my street so I got no Internet at home as well. :-( The worst thing is that I am unable to follow Arch development until New Year (at least) because I've changed my job this Monday, and I don't even have a PC there yet (but I should in near future). Today is the first day I've got internet for a hour or so (I'm sitting at my ex-job now). If someone could update my packages in Extra/Community and keep an eye on bugtracker - that would be awesome and very appreciated. Bye all and Merry Christmas! -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)

[aur-general] State of community64
by Eric Belanger 04 Jan '08

04 Jan '08

Hi, I would to bring to your attention the current state of the x86_64 community repo. There are currently over 100 x86_64 packages out-of-date compared to the i686 ones (http://dev.archlinux.org/~andyrtr/pkg_diff.html) . Out of curiosity, how many TUs with a x86_64 machine are active? More precisely, are you checking the package diff list on a more or less daily basis to keep the two repo in sync? I have the impression that I was pretty much the only one doing that in the last few months. To help keeping the x86_64 repo in sync, I would recommend any TU without an x86_64 machine to ask Aaron for access on his x86_64 build machine. I'm not sure to what degree the packages can be tested on the build machine but several devs and TU are already using it. Nonetheless, if the build machine would be used, at the very least, for arch-independent packages (e.g. i18n, docs pkg), perl and python modules and non-critical packages (e.g. games, xfce-svn plugin, etc) that would reduce the workload for the x86_64 TUs. I don't mind helping out with the occasional x86_64 build or with problems/bugs only on x86_64. But would like to reduce that to a minimum as it's quite time-consuming.

[aur-general] sage in AUR
by Husmann, Stefan 04 Jan '08

04 Jan '08

Hello, since the package sage has not been updated since v.0.1.2, is orphaned for some time now and does not compile anyway, and nobody complained about that, I think this package is not needed. I want to delete it next Friday. Though it is technically possible for a non-TU like me to adopt and delete it I want to ask the list members if this would be the usual way. The deletion would lead to the benefitial situation that the great package sage-mathematics could be renamed.

[aur-general] maintaining orphaned packages
by Chess Griffin 03 Jan '08

03 Jan '08

Hi there- I've been using Arch Linux for many years now, and I have done some packaging for other distros. I maintain a few slackbuild scripts for Slackware at Slackbuilds.org, one small package in the Debian tree, and currently maintain two ports in the FreeBSD ports tree. I also contribute documentation patches to FreeBSD. I'm a huge supporter of Arch and have really enjoyed using it all this time, so I thought I'd like to start contributing to its package maintenance. I have an x86_64 machine, so can probably help with packages for both x86_64 and i686. My question is about unsupported packages in AUR. Can I go ahead and adopt some or is there some approval process first? I don't have any specifically in mind at the moment, but from time to time I've come across orphaned packages that I use and thought about adopting them. Ok, 'nuff ramblin' from me.

[aur-general] Applying to become a TU
by Abhishek Dasgupta 01 Jan '08

01 Jan '08

Hello, I'm Abhishek Dasgupta, from India and right now, I'm doing a Masters in Science (we'll be choosing our majors in the fifth semester). I've been using computers for a long time, and I know a bit of python, shell scripting and of course C, C++. I think that Arch does not have a significant presence in the scientific community. I wish to make Arch a viable choice for a scientist to use, by maintaining more popular scientific packages in [community], in addition to other packages. I've maintained one or two pages in the Wiki (not much :) ), and these are the packages I've in AUR right now (my username is abhidg in the AUR and the forums): ariadne bbpager blueman btsco ghemical libghemical liboglappth lightspeed num-utils pandoc weather xfce4-time-out-plugin Most of these I use myself, or have packaged because it could be useful to others. My introduction is now over, and I'm looking for someone to sponsor me (if any). If you have any questions, please do ask them. -- Abhishek Dasgupta http://abhidg.mine.nu http://abhidg.wordpress.com

Hi all, I have decided to resign from my position as a Trusted User. There are two reasons for this step: * The TU group should be independent. Being a TU and a developer at the same time might be a conflict. (attention: this is only my own opinion) * I don't have the time anymore to follow the aur-ml etc. as I should do. I just have too many unread messages ;-) Greetings and merry Christmas, Pierre -- http://www.archlinux.de

[aur-general] REMOVAL: xterminus
by Callan Barrett 21 Dec '07

21 Dec '07

This is an email to propose the removal of the Trusted User xterminus (Charles Mauch), I feel this is required so the group of Trusted Users does not stagnate and he is the perfect candidate for putting the bylaws into effect. xterminus has been gone for what I believe is months without any sort of notification, he has not maintained any of his packages nor has he participated in any of the votes. This will begin the 3 day discussion period as written in the bylaws. I'll start: as much as don't like to do this to someone I knew as well as xterminus the fact is he has disappeared off the face of the earth, nobody knows where he's gone, nobody knows if he'll be back. He does not respond to email and he hasn't done anything as a TU in months, nobody has seen him on irc and his website seems to have long expired. I think his removal is the best thing to do. I know xterminus maintained a *lot* of packages in community, most of them being CPAN modules which, according to xterminus, had a whole set of special scripts he used to maintain them. I don't think it's a good idea to put them into unsupported and that they should be deleted from community altogether, any other packages he maintained that are left over should be taken on by whatever TU can handle them and then anything left should be put into unsupported. I'd like to hear anyone else's opinion on this. -- Callan 'wizzomafizzo' Barrett

[aur-general] Enforcing TU Bylaws
by Callan Barrett 21 Dec '07

21 Dec '07

After seeing Roman's post in the pressh TU vote I think we need to start enforcing the bylaws based on inactivity now it has become a problem, last thread we only *just* got half of the TUs to vote in it. I have no problem with pressh becoming a TU anyway as I don't believe someone should miss out because of lazy TUs or TUs marked active who are actually inactive. To combat this I think we should put into effect the "Quorum" section of the bylaws or at least some form of it to keep the votes up properly. I've looked at the last three votes we had, the following people have not voted for a long time (I don't even know who two are?) and should really be put up for removal if they have no explanation of their absence: xterminus vegai dejari encelo I don't like to remove TUs but I believe this is required for us to keep any order and keep from a snowball effect of just gathering more and more TUs over time. If these people do not respond I think it's best we start the removal procedure on all of them (provided people start *VOTING*) at some point we can work out. I also need to mention, aside from these 4 people I think there are about a third of the TUs who MUST vote in the currently running thread (unless of course you already have) or else they'll also have to be added to that list. -- Callan 'wizzomafizzo' Barrett

sergej, will you please hurry up and adopt this package (smf) because I don't want it. It was taken out of community because it was ILLEGAL to package it without explicit permission from the author, which I'm assuming you never obtained. If you did receive permission from the author I want you to put it back into community with that license change in mind, if you didn't receive permission I still want you to adopt it and keep it in unsupported and please keep in mind how important licenses are for packages. -- Callan 'wizzomafizzo' Barrett

[aur-general] Sponsoring Timm Preetz for TU
by Bjørn Lindeijer 08 Dec '07

08 Dec '07

Hello everybody! A few days ago, Timm Preetz (known as gummibaerchen on the AUR and forums) let me know that he was interested in becoming a TU to help keeping packages up to date as well as maintaining his current AUR packages to community. He is currently maintaining the following packages in AUR: avant-window-navigator java-gnome java-gnome-docs python-clutter telepathy-haze telepathy-sofiasip I have checked his packages and found some small issues like custom variables and missing categories, and Timm was quick to resolve those. In my opinion he shows that he has not only the skills to be a TU but also the necessary attention to details, so I will sponsor him. This email hereby opens the discussion period of 5 days! His introduction to me: ----------------------- My motivation to become a TU is mostly due to the fact that I get simply annoyed by outdated packages (may it be the 64bit-port or the PKGBUILD in AUR in general). When I first installed Arch Linux I was impressed how up to date the packages were. But now 'digging deeper' (into AUR) I see lots of outdated packages or incomplete PKGBUILDs (licence missing for example). As these are issues that are often discussed I thought it would be good to get the hands on myself. There no point in 'mirroring' and updating PKGBUILDs on my HDD and have no way to give anything of my changes back and therefore indirectly force other people who want recent packages to do the same. So my idea was, that I could become a TU and 'collect orphaned packages' (so I just have to contact the 'actual' maintainer to ask what's up if a package isn't updated for long and don't have to bug one of the other TUs for orphaning packages). There is also a good number of outdated packages in AUR that I would maintain myself. Also this would give me the opportunity to share my 64-bit binary packages if they're needed for community. My main areas that I am currently interested in (and therefore have the most PKGBUILDs of) are docs, bindings and 'composited stuff'. One more to add: For the java-gnome packages for example I also worked together with the upstream maintainer to get the configure script working properly on Arch, and having install-instructions on their website. This is also something I would repeat for other packages whenever needed. Coming to myself, there is not too much to say. I am born in the 9th of February in 1990, male, German, visiting a grammar school and having math and physics as honours. Despite of the distro I am an absolutely GNOME/GTK/GObject-Fan, Python and Java programmer and LaTeX writer. In my (technical) spare time I'm actually mostly working on a 2D racing game using Clutter and improve algorithms we worked out in the CS-class. Timm ----------------- Regards, Bjørn

[aur-general] cooledit in AUR

Hello, there is an orphaned package "cooledit" in the AUR under "unsupported". This project seems to be dead. I did not find any homepage for this project. The existing entries in google point to not existing links. I suggest to reemove this package entirely. Greetings Stefan Husmann

[aur-general] Netbeans
by Phil Dillon-Thiselton 04 Dec '07

04 Dec '07

Hey all, I don't know what to do with netbeans. The new version is built using some enormous interactive install script, which isn't ideally suited to a PKGBUILD. The previous PKGBUILD was created by somebody else and I just adopted it in to [community] because it was popular and made some minor improvements. However, I think somebody else might do a better job with it now. Any offers to adopt it? Best, Phil

[aur-general] disown mtasc
by Florian Loitsch 04 Dec '07

could a TU please orphan package mtasc. The PKGBUILD is a binary (and has not been touched for nearly two years). I have contacted the current maintainer jMCg, but did not get any response. I'm not sure if I'll have the time to update the package myself, but at least it would be possible. mfg, // florian loitsch -- "Computers are useless. They can only give answers" - Pablo Picasso

[aur-general] Help needed with the xsensors package

Hi guys. I'm asking for a little help with xsensors. I'm trying to make it work with the new lm_sensors: there's a patch and it fixes compilation errors, but I can only get a segfault when I run the program. Debugging (after adding '#define DEBUG_XSENSORS') finds the incriminated function, add_sensor_tab() in src/gui.c: (gdb) run Starting program: /usr/bin/xsensors (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) Adding tab for coretemp Adding feature 1, Core 0. curvalue = 48,000000, curmax = 10000,000000, curmin = 0,000000, percent = 0,004800 Adding tab for coretemp Adding feature 1, Core 1. curvalue = 50,000000, curmax = 10000,000000, curmin = 0,000000, percent = 0,005000 Adding tab for w83627dhg Adding feature 1, VCore.

Can anybody help me? Attached you can find the PKGBUILD. Thanks, Corrado

Your nick was pretty noticeable for me in times when I was visiting forums very often. :-) Your packages in AUR are OK, though I have some suggestions, which I've sent to you in private mail. In fact, I've added 2 of your packages to my "grab them sometime" list some time ago. :-P Oh, BTW, don't we already have someone studiying Aerospace engineering? /me looks at James ;-) I'm sponsoring Ronald on his way to become a TU.

[aur-general] Why do we still have compatibility rename for community?
by Varun Acharya 30 Nov '07

30 Nov '07

Hi Devs/TU's, Why do we still have the renaming of packages in community so that packages are uploaded without the '-arch' in the filename? Official repo's were converted a while back, any reason were not editing communitypkg to do the same? Varun

[aur-general] -mtune=generic
by bardo 29 Nov '07

29 Nov '07

Hi. This flag was introduced with glibc-2.6 and gcc-4.2 as suggested for devs and tus (http://archlinux.org/news/326/) Is it still needed? Was it a temporary thing that was erroneously introduced in the aforementioned packages or is it a necessary and thus "definitive" flag? Thanks for any clarification. C.

[aur-general] Build machine update
by Aaron Griffin 29 Nov '07

29 Nov '07

For any Devs/TUs in need of an x86_64 build machine, we're now in business. This machine I have sitting here is not powerful, but it's doing nothing, so we might as well all help out and heat my apartment this winter 8) What I've done is set this machine up to use the new chroot tools from our devtools package, and allow users rights to run the chroot build script. Dan, Jeff, and myself have tested it and it seems to work fine for right now. For people with existing accounts - I will add a motd with instructions soon, so when you see a small HOWTO on login, feel free to go to town. For people who DON'T have an account but still want to build x86_64 packages and don't have a machine, let me know.
