[aur-general] Fwd: aur-general Digest, Vol 82, Issue 24
by Fabien Devaux 23 Aug '11

23 Aug '11

If that is all your questions then this is the wrong place to ask. In fact, it would then be wrong to even ask. It is only correct to read: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Python_Package_Guidelines Don't worry, I'm not _that_ newbie, I was just talking about arch, not IT... Thanks for pointing that document btw, it's (badly) covering one of the questions I had. 1) Why is this "template" not used by most packages I've seen ? 2) What is the main difference between build() & the optional package() function ? (appart the error handling) 3) Why most packages I've seen are splitting build() and package() operations ? (build for .py? building & package for install part) 4) What is the recommended way to remove files from package ? (files that may be required at "setup.py build" step) Thanks for your kind support...

The package evilvte[1] has been out of date for a month and even the maintainer announced in the comments that he doesn't want to maintain it anymore. Trying to mail him failed at his nonexisting mail address. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=16727 Regards

[aur-general] Orphaning out-of-date packages
by Lukas Fleischer 23 Aug '11

23 Aug '11

Andrea suggested this about two months ago [1] - it's time to take the gloves off. I just created a list of packages that have been flagged out-of-date for almost 6 months now and still have a maintainer [2]. If you maintain any of these packages, feel free to update it. I will re-generate that list and mass orphan affected packages in a week's time. [1] http://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/aur-general/2011-June/014792.html [2] http://sprunge.us/SNGT

by Fabien Devaux 23 Aug '11

23 Aug '11

Hi! I'm new to arch & his packaging techniques and I have some questions on how things should be for python2/3 and build() vs package() things as well... Is this the good place to ask ? Thanks, Fabien Devaux.

[aur-general] Merge of virtualbox_bin into virtualbox-bin
by Seblu 22 Aug '11

22 Aug '11

Hello, Can you merge virtualbox_bin into virtualbox-bin ? The reason are those requested by josephgbr in https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=9753 <quote> The reason I'm asking this is that every time I update my packages with "yaourt -Syua", the package "virtualbox-ext-oracle" is listed first than this package ('-' come first than '_') and I always have to reinstall again after virtualbox_bin in order to work. Thanks in advance. </quote> Regards, -- Sébastien Luttringer www.seblu.net

[aur-general] Disown request
by rafael ff1 22 Aug '11

22 Aug '11

The packages lib32-libsexy [1] and lib32-libsexymm [2] have PKGBUILD set to build from binary and install libs in the invalid directory '/opt/lib32/usr/lib'. I asked the maintainer to fix it more than 2 weeks ago and got no reply. When I sent an email to the address informed in AUR (tried also ".org", got "no such user"), but it doesn't exist, as you can see below. Please disown this package, so I can fix them.

[aur-general] Package merge request: kernel26/linux-ice and kernel26/linux-rt-ice
by Oon-Ee Ng 22 Aug '11

22 Aug '11

Hi, please remove kernel26-ice [1] and merge comments/votes with linux-ice [2]. Also, I would prefer that kernel26-rt-ice [3] be removed and comments/votes merged with linux-rt-ice [4]. The slight problem with that is that nvidia proprietary driver users will not be able to use linux-rt-ice, since the latest editions of the -rt patchset export several symbols as GPL which disallow compilation of the nvidia driver. Re-exporting (or modifying the nvidia license) with a patch is simple but not permitted under the terms of the GPL (as I understand it). In any case, this will not be resolved by the passage of time, so users will just have to use nouveau or patch themselves.

[aur-general] OK! changing a PKG's name and retaining votes/comments
by member graysky 21 Aug '11

21 Aug '11

I started a thread with same subject less the "OK! " back in May and am glad to see people saw some value in it to the point of modifying the AUR! Since the next version of the linux kernel is now released and likely soon to enter [testing] under a new name, I need to use this new feature to change the name of "kernel26-ck" in the AUR to "whatever-tpowa-uses-ck" -- at the risk of exposing my naiveté on the subject, I'll ask: 1) What is the SOP for people to request a namechange? 2) What is critically important to include the PKGBUILD? My best-guess answers: 1) Upload the new PKGNAME as a new package and email a TU with the old/new name or post to this mailing list. 2) Include a replaces statement in the PKGBUILD. E.g. replaces=('old_PKG_name'). Thanks for the thoughts!

[aur-general] AUR upgraded to 1.9.0
by Lukas Fleischer 20 Aug '11

20 Aug '11

I just upgraded the official Arch Linux AUR setup to 1.9.0. For a short list of changes, read [1]. All AUR helper developers are encouraged to check for the latest RPC interface changes and the new package locations (we use segmented upload directories now). We also recommend to use the "URLPath" field from the RPC response instead of hardcoding the path to the PKGBUILD and tarball. For now, there's a rewrite rule to avoid unnecessary breakage of AUR helpers and legacy links. Please report any issues on the AUR bug tracker [2].

[aur-general] Deletion Request southerncross-git and mcabber duplicates
by nem 17 Aug '11

17 Aug '11

good day. two weeks ago southerncross github was deleted due halt of development (see reference in [1]). it was orphaned upon and since then nobody came up with a mirror (even though removal was announced 6 weeks ago). so i guess 'southerncross-git' [2] is redundant for now and can be removed. [1] https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=956445#p956445 [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=48743 also there are some duplicates of 'mcabber-hg' (which is the source-version of mcabber in [community]) which can be deleted: 'mcabber-devel' [3] is orphaned and flagged out of date for 6 months. 'mcabber-crew-hg' [4] is simply a duplicate. 'mcabber-lm-hg' [5] is outdated (sources are 404). i contacted the maintainer (see mail below) and he agreed for removal of both of his packages, too ([4] and [5]). [3] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=26896 [4] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=31147 [5] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=26570 regards, nem > On Tue, 16 Aug 2011 10:28:28 +0400 Николай Степаненко > <nixtrian(a)gmail.com> wrote: > Yes.
