[aur-general] Deletion request for pcsx2-bin and pcsx2-svn-bin
by rafael ff1 17 May '11

17 May '11

PCSX2 Dev Team provides pcsx2 in two ways: binary tarball and svn source code. I'd like to organize things up about this emulator in AUR: my plan is to have "pcsx2" [1] as binary package and "pcsx2-svn" [2] getting from source code. Considering that the maintainer of pcsx2-bin [3] does not update neither reply emails for more than a week and that pcsx2-svn-bin [4] is maintained by me and it's equal to pcsx2-bin, my request is to delete these two packages. Thanks in advance, Rafael (username: josephgbr) Links: [1] pcsx2 https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=10268 [2] pcsx2-svn https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=21899 [3] pcsx2-bin https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=33449 [4] pcsx2-svn-bin https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=31863

[aur-general] rodent, first upload
by Iñigo Álvarez 16 May '11

16 May '11

I did a new PKGBUILD of the rodent file manager. I really think, after discovering it in gentoo, it is a must be in arch. It consist in a very lightweight, but complete file manager, aimed to expert users which stick to the console. It permets using console commands, rigt-click diff, iso mounting and creating, and much more... I will apreciate feedback, i had it compiled in my system prior to doing the package, so i dont know how it will work installed from scratch from aur. Thank you in advance, and hope you enjoy it

[aur-general] My first PKGBUILD (ttf font)
by Ian Brunton 15 May '11

15 May '11

This is my first attempt at creating a package. It's for a TTF font. I know it works, at least on my machine. I'd appreciate any feedback on whether I've put everything together correctly. Specifically, I'm unsure about how to handle the license; this font comes with a custom "freeware EULA" which is available on the original website and is included in the ZIP file; what would be the most correct way to specify the license in the PKGBUILD file? PKGBUILD and install file are attached. Thank you -- Ian Brunton iandbrunton(a)gmail.com http://laygeek.wordpress.com

Hi all One of my packages became obsolete and I forgot to warn about it. Please remove supercollider-with-sn-plugins-git https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=44763 Reason: supernova server was merged a long time ago into supercollider and this package is now equivalent to supercolider-with-extras-git already in aur and archaudio/experimental Thanks!

[aur-general] sanity check / review my first AUR package
by Taylor Venable 13 May '11

13 May '11

Hi everybody, I just started using Arch a few weeks ago, and I've been mightily impressed. I want to help out, so I started looking in the AUR for things to do. I noticed that there doesn't seem to be a package for the devel version of SWI-Prolog. The stable release is in [community], and there are git snapshots in AUR, but they are old and unowned. So I created a package for the development release. The devel release is distinct from a git snapshot, which is why I created a separate package, rather than updating the git snapshot one. Since there are development releases, I don't personally find git snapshots to be that useful. I wanted to make sure I'm doing this correctly, so if you have the time to take a look for me I'd appreciate it. Any guidance will be welcomed. I basically copied the [community] package's PKGBUILD and modified the necessary properties. I only have x86_64 machines, so I've not checked i686, but the resulting binary package does work for me. Since I wanted to get a little review before submitting it, the package can be found on my website: http://metasyntax.net/swi-prolog-devel-5.11.20-1.src.tar.gz Thanks, -- Taylor C. Venable http://metasyntax.net/

[aur-general] Orphans [extra] repository cleanup
by Andrea Scarpino 13 May '11

13 May '11

Hi DEVs/TUs, I'm again on the cleanup of orphans packages in the [extra] repository; this time with a small list[1]. The list is based on orphans packages needed by none. I don't see very important packages there, but chromium, krusader, mc and proftpd which maybe should be kept in [extra]; though they will probably find their maintainers in [community]. As the last time (more than 7 months ago), please cross out the packages you want to keep in [extra]. Adoption is not required, but it would be nice. If you are a TU you can ask to maintain a package writing its name to the "Candidate to [community]" list[2]. I invite all you maintainers to check the orphans packages on the Arch website, many are maintained packages where the maintainer simply forgot to adopt it. Thanks [1] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DeveloperWiki:Repo_Cleanup [2] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DeveloperWiki:Repo_Cleanup#Candidate_t… -- Andrea

[aur-general] Request for removal (blok-git)
by Harley Laue 12 May '11

12 May '11

blok-git has been broken for some time upstream and seems unlikely to change. At the time it was sort of a proof-of-concept and now it's just source rotting. Because of this, blok-git can/should be removed. Thanks.

[aur-general] Request for assistance with a PKGBUILD
by Joel Heaton 11 May '11

11 May '11

Hello fellow AUR maintainers, I've come to ask for some of your wisdom on a particular subject because, quite frankly, I'm completely unsure of how to move forward. I'm attempting to put together a PKGBUILD for a library (tsdl) but running in to trouble with the installation part. I can run make no problem, everything proceeds as expected, however I receive a permission error when running make install. The output is shown below at the point which it fails. http://pastebin.com/0xVvf1kN Obviously this is going to fail unless makepkg -s is run as root, which is highlighted as not being a good idea, so I'm basically looking at how I could get around this, if at all. I'll admit that I'm still getting to grips with this, having only put together two PKGBUILDs from scratch before now, so I would appreciate any pointers that could guide me in the right direction. Below are links to the PKGBUILD I'm working on, as well as the Makefile for the library I want to build respectively. I can see that there are a bunch of operations going on in there which will result in more permission denied errors, but if I'm thinking along the right lines, then these could be installed using install -D -mXXX but again, I'm quite inexperienced so I don't know if that is entirely true. http://pastebin.com/xzVRt79d http://pastebin.com/sTN1j80f Please also feel free to criticise the PKGBUILD in general; I've been following what I've seen by other maintainers so far and trying to stick to the guidelines laid out in the Wiki pages, so hopefully it's all fine but if I have missed anything or done something stupid, I'd like to know. Thanks in advance for any help. Kind regards, Joel.

Unless someone knows better than I do, this package is broken beyond repair ( .bin extensions on EVERY source file). There are only two links to the source for this and they are both the same way. I'm not certain what were to happen if you were to strip the .bin extensions.it may be tainted with malicious code. Not to mention the project has been long dead. -JerichoKru
