Please orphan Dragonlord's packages [1]wfmath and [2]mercator, They have been out-of-date for quite a sometime alredy. I have emailed him conserning this issue over 2 weeks ago, with no reply what so ever. Worst, these packages are preventing me from updating my packages, which depend on the newer versions.

[aur-general] PKGBUILD for 32bit app on 64bit Arch
by Jonathan Arnold 15 Aug '12

15 Aug '12

I looked around on the wiki but didn't find any guidelines for installing a 32bit app on a 64bit arch. For dependencies, is this common practice in the PKGBUILD: [ "$CARCH" = "x86_64" ] && depends=(lib32-glibc lib32-zlib) [ "$CARCH" = "i686" ] && depends=(zlib) -- Jonathan Arnold Webstream: http://hieronymus.soup.io Talent wins games, but team work and intelligence wins championships.

[aur-general] Remove dunst-light-git from AUR
by Jente Hidskes 15 Aug '12

15 Aug '12

Hello, Recently, I have uploaded a package (named dunst-light-git) to the AUR. Only afterwards I found out from the developer of Dunst (Knopwob) that the light version isn't maintained anymore and that soon, he is going to delete the relevant branch from his GitHub. He recommended me and other users to use the normal version instead. Because of this, I ask you to remove that package from AUR: it's no longer maintained and soon, the files will be removed from Github and the PKGBUILD is just useless. I had searched Google on how to remove an AUR package and came across two topics on the Arch boards that said I had to notify the maintainers on this mailing list. If this is not the correct way anymore, then please regard this email as not send. I do hope though that I am doing this in the correct way and that you will remove my package from the AUR. Thanks in advance, Jente

[aur-general] Deletion request
by François Boulogne 15 Aug '12

15 Aug '12

Hi, Could you remove archdocumentalist (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=40125) which is my own package (and my own source code btw). As mentioned in the comment, the reason is that the i18n policy regarding the arch wiki changed; now translations are maintained by communities on different websites and the code does not handle that for the moment. Since I have no time right now to fix it, I think it is worth to remove the package to avoid misunderstanding. Thank you. -- François Boulogne. https://www.sciunto.org

[aur-general] My first PKGBUILD, need some guidance
by Martin Cigorraga 14 Aug '12

14 Aug '12

Hi! I'm creating my first PKGBUILD for Zeya, a nice app that lets you play your local music from any browser without any extra plugin(s) and I'm a bit disoriented about how to handle its installation. Unlike most application Zeya does not need to be compiled to run, just run it's main Python file and that's all, so, how should I proceed? I think about copying the whole directory structure after cloning it to /usr/bin/zeya-git and then create a symlink to the executable to /usr/bin/zeya but I'm not sure if this is the right procedure. So far this is how the PKGBUILD is being shaped: # Submitter: Martin C. msx(a)archlinux.us pkgname=zeya-git pkgver=0.6 pkgrel=1 pkgdesc="Bring your music anywhere" arch=('i686' 'x86_64') url="http://web.psung.name/zeya/" license=('GPL3') depends=('python2' 'fastoggenc') makedepends=('git' 'python2') optdepends=('mpg123: for decoding MP3 files' 'flac: for decoding FLAC files') conflicts=('zeya') _gitroot="http://web.psung.name/git/zeya.git" _gitname="zeya" build() { cd "$srcdir" msg "Connecting to GIT server...." if [[ -d "$_gitname" ]]; then cd "$_gitname" && git pull origin msg "The local files are updated." else git clone "$_gitroot" "$_gitname" fi msg "GIT checkout done or server timeout" msg "Starting build..." rm -rf "$srcdir/$_gitname-build" git clone "$srcdir/$_gitname" "$srcdir/$_gitname-build" cd "$srcdir/$_gitname-build" } package() { } I think I can put all the instructions to create the directory under /usr/bin and to copy all the needed files in the package() section butI'm unsure about it. As you see this is a very basic question - for a very basic package. Thanks in advance, Martin -- -msx

[aur-general] Non-Free font packages
by George Brooke 14 Aug '12

14 Aug '12

Hi, Today I noticed the following packages on the AUR, osx-lion-fonts [1] and win7-fonts [2]. Both of these packages download the fonts from an FTP server which appears to be operated by the maintainer, not from any kind of official source and although they both specify "Custom" as the license neither of them install a license file (or show any indication that the maintainer has permission to redistribute the files). To me, this gives the appearance that the archives linked to are probably copyright infringing. As I understand it, PKGBUILDs which link to infringing sources are generally frowned upon which is why others for Win7 fonts (for example) require the user to manually acquire and copy the font files. Could a TU and/or the maintainer (who is CCed in) investigate and clarify the situation. Thanks GeorgeB [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=61979 [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=61978

[aur-general] Deletion request: xournal-image-patched

I think xournal-image-patched [1] can be deleted as it is outdated and its main reason for existence was including images, which has been included in the latest version in community [2] (as mentioned by the former maintainer in the comments on AUR [1]). [1] AUR xournal-image-patched: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=38375&detail=1 [2] xournal in community: http://www.archlinux.org/packages/?sort=&q=xournal&maintainer=&last_update=… Thanks!

[aur-general] Microchip Compilers Cleanup
by BxS 14 Aug '12

14 Aug '12

Hi TUs, I think is time for a cleanup in microchip compilers that I maintain, lets start: a) Merge hitech-picc_bin[1] and hitech-picc-18_bin[2] to microchip-mplabxc8-bin[3]. Microchip bought [1] and [2] but now they are now legacy compilers, Microchip decide to make [1]+[2]=[3], microchip-mplabxc8-bin[3] are just the new versions of [1] and [2] packaged together with some small additions. The code for [1]&[2] should just compile in [3], if not the changes needed are very minimal, like in a normal new compiler version. [1]https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=52776 [2]https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=52777 [3]https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=57911 b) Merge microchip-mplabc32_bin[4] to microchip-mplabxc32-bin[5]. [4] are now a legacy compiler, Microchip decide to make [4]->[5], microchip-mplabxc32-bin[5] are just the new versions of [4], with some additions like C++ support. The code for [4] should just compile in [5], if not the changes needed are minimal, like in a new version of a compiler. Also [4] for Linux don't appear any more in any Microchip webpage. [4]https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=52726 [5]https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=57912 c) Delete hitech-dspicc-bin[6]. [6] are a legacy compiler for a long time, Microchip in [6] page says: "Microchip highly recommends the MPLAB C Compiler for PIC24 and dsPIC (SW006012) for new designs." Note that the recommended (SW006012) are this days already also a legacy compiler, the (SW006012) have been replaced by microchip-mplabxc16-bin[7], so you can have an idea. Also [6] have 0 votes. [6]https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=54315 [7]https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=59174 d) Delete hitech-picc32-bin[8]. [8] are a legacy compiler for a long time, Microchip in [8] page says: "Microchip highly recommends the MPLAB C Compiler for PIC32 (SW006015) for new designs." Note that the recommended (SW006015)=microchip-mplabc32_bin[4] are this days already also a legacy compiler, as you can see in my b) merge request, so you can have an idea. [8]https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=54315 Sorry for all the requests, thanks for everything. Best Regards, BxS

[aur-general] Dropping wvstreams/wvdial from [community]
by Florian Pritz 13 Aug '12

13 Aug '12

wvstreams stopped building with gcc 4.7, upstream is dead for ~2 years now and gentoo's patches don't seem to fix stack magic checking properly. Current trunk (not pushed to the repos) gets me a different error than the one reported[1], but it still fails after pppd has been started: > wvdial: utils/wvtask.cc:304: static int WvTaskMan::yield(int): Assertion `*current_task->stack_magic == 0x123678' failed. Unless someone adopts wvstreams and wvdial I'll drop them to AUR next week. [1]: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/31096 -- Florian Pritz

[aur-general] Mozc
by Tony Olagbaiye 13 Aug '12

13 Aug '12

Hi all! Can I request that a TU add Mozc to the community repo? It has 32 votes, which is plenty above the guideline (25), and it takes quite a while to build. It is actively developed, by Google employees themselves, but is under the BSD License. It would be much appreciated if someone would! -- Tony
