29 May '11

When I was looking trough different love version, I found that there is unmaintained love-beta package with 0 votes. Submitter and last maintainer said in comment: "I don't know how to delete..., then I'll just abandon it." https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=42129

[aur-general] udev rule files in /etc/udev/rules.d, usage of SYSFS
by Thomas Bächler 28 May '11

28 May '11

I just got flooded with this message: 'SYSFS{}= will be removed in a future udev version, please use ATTR{}= to match the event device, or ATTRS{}= to match a parent device, in /etc/udev/rules.d/51-hso-udev.rules' And I remembered there are 2 things to fix. 1) Move all udev rule files provided by us to /lib/udev/rules.d (/etc/udev/rules.d is for the user only) community/multipath-tools (0.4.9-4) : /etc/udev/rules.d/kpartx.rules community/multipath-tools (0.4.9-4) : /etc/udev/rules.d/multipath.rules community/ozerocdoff (2-3) : /etc/udev/rules.d/51-hso-udev.rules community/sysprof (1.1.6-1) : /etc/udev/rules.d/60-sysprof.rules extra/laptop-mode-tools (1.57-2) : /etc/udev/rules.d/99-laptop-mode.rules extra/v4l-utils (0.8.3-1) : /etc/udev/rules.d/70-infrared.rules (The last one is probably my fault) 2) Remove the long deprecated SYSFS from all rule files (I didn't check all packages here, but ozerocdoff is definitely one case)

[aur-general] Got 2 remove these
by Det 28 May '11

28 May '11

Hey, So I figured these packages should be wiped out from the face of the AUR while we still have time. google-chrome-fix: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=42507 - Chromium based browsers (Iron, Chrome, Chromium) have moved onto libjpeg-turbo so this libjpeg6 fix is not needed anymore kernel26-autogroup: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=43689 - Autogrouping has been added to the official Arch kernel (this one is old and unmaintained anyway) nvidia-autogroup: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=43777 - Same thing nvidia173-autogroup: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=43952 - Still the same Thanks for your time, Det

[aur-general] Please orphan eclipse-photran
by Andrzej Giniewicz 27 May '11

27 May '11

Hi, the package eclipse-photran is terribly outdated and not working. I contacted maintainer by comments and email, including sending updated PKGBUILD, but there was no reaction (for 3 weeks). In current state it does not even exist at specified download location. I'd like to take over maintaining of this package because it's dependency of package I maintain and stops people from installing it. Thanks, Andrzej.

[aur-general] Deletion request: linuxwacom-bamboo-cth-ctl
by Andrzej Giniewicz 27 May '11

27 May '11

It was decided some time ago, that linuxwacom-bamboo-cth-ctl is very bad name for current state of the driver. Not only linuxwacom is name of driver for older X and Kernel, the patches supplied by the package are now more generic than supported upstream Bamboo CTH/CTL. It was announced month ago, that this package is to be replaced by wacom-drivers package, which is already in AUR. Thus I'd like to ask for deletion of linuxwacom-bamboo-cth-ctl package - https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=31540 Andrzej.

[aur-general] GDeskCal
by pauline martin 25 May '11

25 May '11

I don't know if this project has been discontinued or not, but it is flagged as out of date and I have spent a good amount of time trying to find somewhere to download the most recent release. I was not able to find a link anwhere to download the source from the website: http://customize.org/gDeskCal . If I could be pointed in the right direction for the source code of this project if it is still alive that would be wonderful. It looks like a wonderful application and at least two other packages in the AUR depend upon it so I would love to get it updated or if it is a dead project to get it removed from the AUR. The package is in the AUR as gdeskcal and the two packages that I found that depend on it are: gdeskcal-skins and gdeskcal-skin-simple. Of the three only one is being currently maintained. I would be willing to maintain the other two if they are not a dead project. That one maintained project is using sources from a different site than the main project is hosted on. The maintainer is Syntheed. If I am reading the source right his sources are from freebsd, so it is not of any help locating the original program if it is still in development.

[aur-general] The Unarchiver and provides field
by Cédric Girard 23 May '11

23 May '11

Hi, I'm maintaining The Unarchiver PKGBUILD [1] in the AUR. The Unarchiver is an objective-c application for uncompressing archive file. This is AFAIK the only free implementation of RARv3 format. As this application provides an unrar functionnality, does it make sense to add a "provides=('unrar')" field in the PKGBUILD? The Unarchiver is not a drop-in replacement for the "unrar" command. The binary are not the same and the syntax is different. -- Cédric Girard

Hi all, I've gone ahead and removed the package that provided PHP 5.2. Upstream dropped support for it at the beginning of the current year, so I also didn't upload it to the AUR. If anyone was still on PHP 5.2, please upgrade to 5.3 using the packages in [extra]. :) Cheers.

[aur-general] Orphaned Banshee in Extra Repository Outdated

[aur-general] optional dependencies that require explicit installation
by Michael Schubert 18 May '11

18 May '11

Hi, I'm trying to make a PKGBUILD for a scientific library (libsbml). It has bindings for C/C++ that are installed by default and for a variety of other languages on demand. I'm not quite sure about the proper way to handle this: - for a language binding to be built, the package (e.g. python, perl, ruby, etc.) need to be installed and they need to be enabled in cmake using the -DWITH option - if a language binding is build, I need to set the path as well (because it is somewhere nonstandard by default) So, in order for this to work: - how should I check if a package is installed? I found no if-available option in the cmake scripts; pacman -Q would be an option (the best one?), or checking for the existance of a specific file (probably not so good) - if I'd like to separate build() and package() routines, is there a way of getting around adding each binding as a variable in global scope?- that does not seem like an optimal solution given the other packaging standards Thank you for any advice. Michael
