[aur-general] Package naming: <proglang>-<name> or <name>
by Mateusz Loskot 26 Mar '13

26 Mar '13

Hi, I can't find anything in the AUR guidelines article about recommended naming convention for packages. Apart, from the brief paragraph here https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_Packaging_Standards#Package_naming I stumbled upon two packages that make me wonder about that: 1) https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gist-git/ installs straight from repo and, by convention, uses -git suffix 2) https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ruby-jist/ installs from Ruby gem Am I right the latter should be named just jist and jist-git for version of the package installing form git? Or, is the ruby- prefix recommended here? Or, the former should be actually named ruby-gist-git? There is another one, same kind of tool but implemented in Python: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pygist-git/ What, if any, is the naming policy in such cases? I sense, it those packages should be named after software they provide: https://github.com/defunkt/gist -> gist and gist-git https://github.com/ConradIrwin/jist -> jist and jist-git https://github.com/mattikus/pygist -> pygist and pygist-git Their implementation language is displayed in dependencies. Best regards, -- Mateusz Loskot, http://mateusz.loskot.net

[aur-general] Strange filesystem conflict behavior
by Kyle 26 Mar '13

26 Mar '13

Today I upgraded my espeak-test package in AUR from 1.46.53 to the latest 1.47.03b. However, while testing my PKGBUILD, I received a file conflict error when attempting to install the binary package using pacman -U. It seems that /usr/share/espeak-data/voices/en, which is a directory in previous versions of espeak-test as well as community/espeak, has become a voice definition file in 1.47.03b. Apparently, this causes a file conflict error to be raised by pacman during the installation attempt. For now, I have added a comment to the AUR page informing anyone using the package that they should remove the entire /usr/share/espeak-data directory prior to installing the newest espeak-test, since --force should never be used for this kind of thing, and this removal is what I needed to do to get the new package installed. The question is whether or not this was the correct action to take, or if anyone has suggestions for truly fixing the problem. I am also wondering at this point if I have found a bug in pacman that would be causing this conflict error to be raised, in spite of the fact that I have added the proper conflicts and provides fields hat should have kept such an error from occurring. Thanks very much for any help. ~Kyle http://kyle.tk/-- "Kyle? ... She calls her cake, Kyle?" Out of This World, season 2 episode 21 - "The Amazing Evie"

Hey, Not sure if this is the right ML to send this to, but when trying to update my profile I get a message saying "The registration form is currently disabled due to a sustained spam attack.

[aur-general] Problem with my PKGBUILD or yaourt?
by Simon Perry 26 Mar '13

26 Mar '13

Hi all, I've been maintaining sidplay-residfp and sidplay-residfp-libs for a little while now, and have hit this on a couple of versions of my packages. I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong with my depends variable, or if I'm hitting a bug in the yaourt AUR helper. As you can see in the output below: - Both packages are detected as upgrades (1.0.0 is installed) - It tries sidplay-residfp first - Detects that it needs the libs package, version 1.0.1 - Says it's gonna build from the AUR - Then tries to use pacman to install an AUR package Is it me, or is it yaourt? I've seen yaourt work with lots of other packages and correctly go through multiple levels of AUR deps to get something installed. Links to my PKGBUILDs: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/si/sidplay-residfp/PKGBUILD https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/si/sidplay-residfp-libs/PKGBUILD Any advice appreciated. Cheers. - Simon Perry (aka Pezz) --- Output --- % yaourt -Syu :: Synchronizing package databases... core is up to date extra is up to date community is up to date Foreign packages: | 24 / 24 ==> Software upgrade (new version) : aur/sidplay-residfp 1.0.0-2 -> 1.0.1-3 aur/sidplay-residfp-libs 1.0.0-1 -> 1.0.1-1 ==> Continue upgrade ?

[aur-general] Request for comment on gnuplot-nox PKGBUILD
by JoKoT3 25 Mar '13

25 Mar '13

Hi, I recently adopted the gnuplot-nox ( https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/?O=0&K=gnuplot-nox) package and I would like to have your advices before publishing a new version of the PKGBUILD (this is my first package in AUR). I have read the wiki pages about arch packaging standard and AUR (eh! that is even why I am posting to the list) I mostly adapted the pkgbuild of the former maintainer so you should not fire me on the spot (I hope). PKGBUILD : http://pastebin.com/RGh7jPYA patch : http://pastebin.com/MwAQTqm2 Two main questions : - should the package "Provides" gnuplot or "Conflict" with gnuplot (from [extra]) ? - is it the right way to patch sources ? Regards, -- Jonathan Gibert Consultant www.iconsultants.fr

[aur-general] oracle-instantclient-* and instantclient-* merged?
by Mateusz Loskot 25 Mar '13

25 Mar '13

Hi, There are two sets of very similar packages for Oracle InstantClient 1) dedicated for version 11.2.0.3.0 https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/oracle-instantclient-basic/ - relies on .zip w/ binaries downloaded by user and copied into location of the unpacked package - installs into /usr - canonical 2) dedicated for version 11.2.0.2.0 https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/instantclient-basic/ - uses manual_download to grab .zip w/ binaries from Oracle, but I doubt it works as Oracle requires to accept license on the website - installs into /opt - is this a good idea? Also, - oracle-instantclient name prefix seems clearer than instantclient There is also page Oracle client page on Wiki which is based on the oracle-instantclient-basic package https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Oracle_client I wonder if and how these two packages could be either 1) merged or 2) unified, so they can be explained in the same article. Ideally, if they could be merged, but then it would be necessary to detect in PKGBUILD if copied .zip binaries are for 11.2.0.2.0 or 11.2.0.3.0 and future 11 versions, and accept all current InstantClient versions. IMHO, it's enough to check if this is 11.2 or even 11. FYI, I haven't talked to the maintainers of those packages to avoid generating noise. First, I'd like to learn what are recommended options to handle such split packages of virtually the same software. Best regards, -- Mateusz Loskot, http://mateusz.loskot.net

Hi, Please remove package lcov-svn (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/lcov-svn/) which I just uploaded... Before realising I had the VCS name wrong; the correct package is lcov-cvs :) Thanks, Niels Martignène

[aur-general] TU application from graysky
by member graysky 25 Mar '13

25 Mar '13

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi All. Inspired by Allan's talk @ SINFO XX, I decided to throw my hat into the ring and formally apply to be a TU. My linux history started with RH and SUSE over a decade ago. I discovered Debian and Ubuntu. I found myself wanting more control and up-to-date repos and discovered Arch. I find it and its underlying philosophies, and its community to be to my liking. I have an interest in giving back to the Arch Community though maintaining some packages in [community]. Listed below are a few of my contributions for those of you who don't recognize me from the bbs or from other interactions. I reached out to Xyne who kindly agreed to sponsor my candidacy for TU. *Maintains an unofficial repo for >2 years now (http://repo-ck.com) whose main purpose is hosting linux-ck and related packages. *Maintains ~50 PKGBUILDs within the AUR; some legacy others of my own creation. *Wiki contributions, both original content, and standardizing many popular pages; member of Wiki Maintenance Team. *Contributed several open-source utils back to the community. https://github.com/graysky2/modprobed_db https://github.com/graysky2/profile-sync-daemon https://github.com/graysky2/profile-cleaner https://github.com/graysky2/backdrop-randomizer *Active contributor to Arch bugs. *Closely related to several upstream projects including: monitorix and the ck patchset *Active member on the bbs; usually helpful ;p -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (GNU/Linux) iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJRPjyfAAoJEIigMoZe5GxMdZAH/i+5wOv8jnYwZUkD/pQrIWPB NV1+eh6+Bvfta8MLL0rSMobHSVefhD1dHpwkiyTmIHs9W2tXfWak9DsLuQaG1Tgu 4rRc0F0o3LTtcD47hsGaatIWDr0NAq2lpGo+H24o9BhNlhH5+Pyd635JUuMeiQl6 FQjeGheg82D9aSNsDJrRZONU1agI63+u2WTRcINW5iP2UkB9Nc0SsVdi/TDwDYPO m9u4v93S12CdCwT9ICCmS/UIa6UmWlbTT77Q3dOXDypumE2vaiSQ7799A8bH4Mlp PPDhoyj1uJE1KhSii8J1JAhEU3jt3w0B0QwoU2TmMRrM2KHy2lGKYC9+OuGzlmI= =mQsI -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Re: [aur-general] TU application from graysky - voting period
by member graysky 24 Mar '13

24 Mar '13

I unsubscribed from the ML so I'm not 100 % sure that this message will nest itself under Xyne's reply[1]. I would appear to be a polarizing force based on the votes; I wouldn't be comfortable joining the TU group given the more or less 50/50 split reflected in the data. To my supporters, I'd like to reiterate a salient point from what I posted yesterday[2]: functionally, nothing will change. I will continue to maintain my repo, I will continue to maintain my PKGBUILDs in the AUR, and people will continue to use my stuff despite Dave's objections. Here are some other data for consideration, as of 24-Mar-2013: *Profile-sync-daemon is installed by just under 5 % of Arch users running pkgstats[3]. *Profile-sync-daemon v5.31-1 has been downloaded by just under 1,400 Debian/Mint/Ubuntu users[4]. *Profile-sync-daemon will, at some point, be included in the Fedora repos[5]. *Profile-sync-daemon has ebuilds maintained by developers for both Gentoo and Exherbo[6]. Thanks again to my supporters. 1. https://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/aur-general/2013-March/022737.html 2. https://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/aur-general/2013-March/022738.html 3. https://www.archlinux.de/?page=PackageStatistics 4. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ppastats ; run the script via `ppastats --release quantal --arch i386 graysky utils` 5. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=912878 6. https://github.com/graysky2/profile-sync-daemon

[aur-general] Tower Toppler was orphaned
by SanskritFritz 24 Mar '13

24 Mar '13

At my usual 'aurphan --aur' run I discovered that https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/toppler/ was orphaned. I adopted it, but would like to know why it was orphaned. Can you guys tell me who the previous maintainer was? In the PKGBUILD there is some contributors listed, but I don't know who was the last maintainer. TIA
