by Jakub Klinkovský 06 Nov '13

I don't see the point in having these packages in the AUR, they only provide the filter file. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/opera-adblock/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/opera-adblock-complete/ In order to have AdBlock in Opera, an extension has to be installed, e.g.: https://addons.opera.com/en-gb/extensions/details/opera-adblock/ Cc'ing the current maintainer of opera-adblock-complete, the other one is orphan. Thanks, JLK

[aur-general] Backslash to split lines in `depends` array
by Fabien Dubosson 03 Nov '13

03 Nov '13

Hi, I was trying to update my AUR packages with `aura` [1] † and get the following error: aura >>= Determining dependencies... aura >>= Dependency checking failed for these reasons: The dependency `\` could not be found. You may need to search for a package to satisfy it. This is due to the following lines in `octave-hg` [2] PKGBUILD: depends=('fftw>=3.2.2' 'curl' 'fltk' 'hdf5' 'glpk' 'arpack' 'gl2ps' \ 'qrupdate' 'qscintilla' 'qhull' 'graphicsmagick' 'java-environment') The problem doesn't seem to appear with `yaourt` [3] . So before filling a bug request to `aura`, I wanted to be sure that it is allowed/common to use `\` to split lines in the `depends` array? If it is not the case, I will post a comment on the `octave-hg` AUR page to ask to remove the backslash. † Also tested with `aura-git`, the problem still exists. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/aura/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/octave-hg/ [3] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/yaourt/ Best regards, Fabien

[aur-general] PKGBUILD for zetacoin-qt-git
by Bruno Jimenez 02 Nov '13

02 Nov '13

Hi, I have been interested lately in alt-currency and I wanted to try zetacoin, but I couldn't find a package in the repos or the AUR. So, using terracoin-qt's PKGBUILD (which is outdated, by the way) I have created the PKGBUILD for zetacoin-qt-git. As it is the first PKGBUILD I make, I wanted to make sure that it is well written. Thanks in Advance! Bruno P.S: Maybe tomorrow, I'll make also the zetacoin-daemon-git PKGBUILD in case you want to advice me on something

[aur-general] Support for source mirror lists in PKGBUILD
by Ido Rosen 02 Nov '13

02 Nov '13

Hi everyone, What's the current recommended way to support multiple mirrors for the same source file in a PKGBUILD? For example, I have xyz-123.tar.gz that can be downloaded from any of "http://a.example.com/xyz-123.tar.gz" " http://b.example.com/xyz-123.tar.gz" "http://c.example.com/xyz-123.tar.gz"...but one of these may be down at any given time. If there's no support for this in the sources array itself, we should strongly consider adding it. For example, an ad-hoc way: _pick_source_mirror() { # ... do something smart in here } source=( "xyz-123::$(_pick_source_mirror( http://a.example.com/xyz-123.tar.gz http://b.example.com/xyz-123.tar.gz http://c.example.com/xyz-123.tar.gz ))" ) A less ad-hoc way: source() { #...some code that returns a list of URLs/files } Another way: source=(...files without mirrors as usual...) sourcemirrored=( xyz-123::($mirroraURL $mirrorbURL $mirrorcURL) ) Mirrored sources seem like a common enough phenomenon that it's worth special treatment to make the source PKGBUILD variable more versatile if they're not currently supported. Thoughts? Ido

[aur-general] Revise VCS packages versioning
by Anatol Pomozov 01 Nov '13

01 Nov '13

Hi I would like to discuss VCS package versioning that is described here https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/VCS_PKGBUILD_Guidelines I am looking at the -git packages but it also applicable to other VCS. Here is the suggested way to create the version local ver="$(git describe --tags)" echo "${ver//-/.}" so 0.7-19-ge4e6e20 will turn into 0.7.19.ge4e6e20 The problem is that the revision number (19 in this case) looks like 3rd component in the version. Now imagine upstream project releases version 0.7.1. The generated version becomes 0.7.1 (and then 0.7.1.1.gfoobar). With the new tag the generated version becomes smaller (0.7.1.1 < 0.7.19). That is the real problem that I had with tup-git package - upstream uses both 2 and 3 component versions. We should recommend a way that works this case. There is a discussion in the comments and the best recommendation is to use following recipe: git describe | sed -E 's/([^-]*-g)/r\1/;s/-/./g' The idea is to find the commit number and start it with "r" (revision). "r" is smaller than a number so it will help in our case. 0.7-19-ge4e6e20 => 0.7.r19.ge4e6e20 Another issue is a repo that has no tags. Here is a recommendation from the wiki page: printf "%s.%s" "$(git rev-list --count HEAD)" "$(git rev-parse --short HEAD)" that will use number of commits (a large number e.g. 3000). The problem arises when the project creates first tag e.g. 0.1. I suggest to fix this problem by using "0" as a tag version (and add prefix 'r' like in the previous item). This makes sure that non-tagged version is always less that a tagged version. So pkgver() will look like: printf "0.r%s.%s" "$(git rev-list --count HEAD)" "$(git rev-parse --short HEAD)" Let me know if you have any objections. If not then I'll update the wiki page.

Hi y'all, I can't seem to reach AUR user maci who maintains lxc-docker-git: his email domain (satgnu.org) has an MX record that points to satgnu.org as the mail server, but satgnu.org has no A record. This is the second message I've tried sending over the last couple of weeks. Please disown lxc-docker-git so I can adopt it. If he wants it back later, he can email me and I'll disown it and let him adopt it again.

The AUR package "gregorio-svn" is currently outdated, doesn't follow the new VCS PKGBUILD Guidelines, and doesn't build correctly with the latest upstream source changes. I have a new fixed package for "gregorio-svn" ready for upload. Please remove/orphan the current package so I can upload my own one. Thanks in advance!
