[aur-general] Package needed: xcalib
by Kristian N. 28 Apr '20

28 Apr '20

Hello. I'm going to be a new Arch user soon and there is an important package I need called xcalib. I need it to adjust my screen due to some vision problems. It is currently in the AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xcalib/ Would any developer be willing to adopt it to the official repositories? I can use the AUR, but this one thing is missing that I need from the repository and it would be very convenient to have it there too. It's a very small and simple program that will not need much upkeep work for the maintainer.

[aur-general] adoptable packages
by Joseph Carta 28 Apr '20

28 Apr '20

Hi All, I added these packages for an application in the aur that no longer requires them, so there is no need for them to exist anymore. If anyone want's to adopt them, let me know, as I'm going to orphan or request delete them soon. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python37-wxpython/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python37-six/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python37-pillow/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python37-gobject/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pygobject37-devel/

[aur-general] Append latest commit link to package update notification
by Amin Vakil 20 Apr '20

20 Apr '20

Arch Linux Wiki has said explicitly that they don't have any responsibilities about what a package in AUR does and they also say that it's mandatory to read and understand PKGBUILD (or any other file or patch that a installation requires) before installing any package. But when a package gets updated and those who have enabled notifications want to update the package, they should (I would say everyone must) click on package page, view changes, and click on latest commit to see what has changed. So appending latest commit link "helps" and "encourages" people to check latest update and I don't think in any possible way has a downside except for a little more text to email which I assume it's OK.

I accidentally pushed a new package to "kayan-gtk-theme-git" instead of "krayan-gtk-theme-git" this morning (now both exist and I will only update the latter) and would like to request it's removal. Apologies for the disturbance. Thanks, Diab Neiroukh

[aur-general] Trying to push to AUR, having trouble with GitHub actions
by Yash Karandikar 14 Mar '20

14 Mar '20

Hey all So I was trying to push a new version of my package to the AUR. This repository has two remotes. One is for GitHub, and one is for the AUR. Yesterday, I set up GitHub actions to test my package, but did not push to AUR. The GitHub actions folder has some subdirectories which contain my actions config. However, I cannot push to AUR because of these subdirectories. Any ideas? Thanks, Yash

Hello, It's time for the semi-yearly package cleanup of [community] packages, as is tradition.

PS. If unmaintained orphans in [core] could be moved to [extra], and unmaintained orphans in [extra] could be moved to [community], that could be a nice "trickle down" effect and would be an appreciated cleanup as well, but that is just my opinion. To quote our newly elected leader, in connection with the previous spring cleaning: > Cleanup is always good > > - Levente Polyak -- Best regards, Alexander F. Rødseth / xyproto

Hello all, sorry if this is not in the appropriate mailing list. I am developing an AUR package, and it says that pkgrel is a required field. Right now, I simply leave it at 1, but I want to know how I should really use it and what its purpose is. Thanks, Yash

[aur-general] Question about AUR submission guidelines rule #1
by Lone_Wolf 27 Feb '20

27 Feb '20

Hi, Scimmia pointed me to [1] in answer of a request by me on forum. I re-read the page and realised the exception to the first rule leaves some things open. text quoted from wiki for reference : * The submitted PKGBUILDs must not build applications *already in any* of the *official* binary *repositories* under any circumstances. Check the official package database <https://www.archlinux.org/packages/> for the package. If any version of it exists, *do not* submit the package. If the official package is out-of-date, flag it as such. If the official package is broken or is lacking a feature, then please file a bug report <https://bugs.archlinux.org/>. *Exception* to this strict rule may only be packages having *extra features* enabled and/or *patches* in comparison to the official ones. In such an occasion the |pkgname| should be different to express that difference. For example, a package for GNU screen containing the sidebar patch could be named |screen-sidebar|. Additionally the |provides=('screen')| array should be used in order to avoid conflicts with the official package. The package types listed below are in AUR and appear to be allowed but are not mentioned in the exception . - packages that *remove *features. example : mesa-noglvnd[2] disables glvnd support but is otherwise the same as extra/mesa of the same upstream version . Maybe change the wording to clarify this ? - VCS packages building trunk master or specific branches example : gcc-git [3] The PKGBUILD is very similar to repo version, but it does build trunk master. Are they considered to have 'patches' or should they be mentioned specifically ? - VCS packages building a specific commit or revision (Sorry, can't find an example atm.) Usually these are considered 'stable' versions. Are they seen as packages having patches or should they have their own rule ? Suppose we have 2 packages of this type : A builds a commit that matches exactly with latest released version, B builds some commit without a tag or label.. In my opinion A violates rule#1, but I'm unsure about B. How do we make the difference clear ? - Older versions of repo packages There are plenty of older versions of repo packages in AUR . Just search for gcc or llvm. I don't see anything in the exception that applies to these packages.

[aur-general] guile-json package disappeared

My guix package on AUR depends on guile-json >= 3. This package used to be available on AUR, but now I could not find it. A user reported an installation failure on guix because of missing guile-json. Why the package disappeared? I tried to find guile-json on aur-requests, but I only found an accepted orphan request. I found no deletion request. https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/aur-requests/2019-December/036025.html https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/aur-requests/2020-January/036592.html

[aur-general] Review of clickhouse-static PKGBUILD

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hello, dear TUs and Arch developers. I'd like to ask relative the package clickhouse-static[1].

Greetings I'd like to contribute to the Arch community by updating the chirp-daily AUR pkgbuild. I've updated the pkgbuild, added my ssh key to my AUR account and tested this on my local system with success. After reviewing the wiki I'm unsure of how to become the maintainer. I've emailed the current maintainer and received his blessing to take over the package. Otherwise I'm unable to push the changes as I do not have the proper ssh origin. Thanks! Kayin
