[aur-general] Dealing with python-* versus python2-* packages
by Aaron DeVore 31 Mar '11

31 Mar '11

I started maintaining some Python 2 packages that currently use the python- prefix, but need to be renamed to use python2-. Python 3 versions will soon come out, so I don't want people using the python-* package until then. I want to still have the packages in the AUR so that someone doesn't accidentally recreate the python-* package. How do I make sure that people don't use the python-* packages until it's appropriate? -Aaron DeVore

[aur-general] Deletion request: gtk3
by Károly Pados 31 Mar '11

31 Mar '11

I created a basic gtk3 package in AUR, though later I noticed that there is a gnome-unstable repository, with gtk3 in it. Please delete my gtk3 package in AUR, I don't want it to start conflicting with gnome-unstable things and it is also redundant as it turns out. So I guess it is probably unwanted, or else let me know and I'll keep maintaining it until it gets stable. Thank you and sorry for the trouble.

[aur-general] orphan and deletion requests (stormlib and stormlib-linux)
by william 56 31 Mar '11

31 Mar '11

i am requesting that stormlib become orphaned, and stormlib-linux be deleted. stormlib-linux (21638) appears to be a duplicate of stormlib (21634), and both packages are unbuildable, as the stormlib source archive which both aur packages compile from has been altered. i sent an email to the package maintainer, zarra (8415), regarding updating his packages, and have yet to receive a response. also, a user commented on the stormlib package with an updated PKGBUILD file on september 23, 2010, though it appeared to go unnoticed by the maintainer. thanks, arch users!

[aur-general] svn and git package
by Axilleas P 30 Mar '11

Is it ok if I upload a package-git if there already is a package-svn in the AUR? Practically the git repo is a mirror of the svn one. I'm talking about clementine-svn in particular. -- (\_ /) copy the bunny to your profile (0.o ) to help him achieve world domination. (> <) come join the dark side. /_|_\ (we have cookies.)

[aur-general] Dropping multiget
by Stefan Husmann 29 Mar '11

29 Mar '11

Hello, I would like to drop the multiget package from [community] for the following reasons. - the tarball does not build. The error consist in a missing header file and was reported twice on upstream bugtracker without an answer - the latest svn-checkout builds, but the revision number is still low, it is 3. So what do you think? Should I upload a svn-based PKGBUILD or drop the package? In svn there is a desktop file, which never made it to the tarball. This would at least allow me to remove multiget from the list in FS#23387. Regards Stefan

[aur-general] Rename "storm"
by Aaron DeVore 28 Mar '11

28 Mar '11

I recently adopted the storm package. It should be renamed to python2-storm. "python" because it is a Python library, "2" because a Python 3 version will be put together in the not too far future. -Aaron DeVore

[aur-general] New list: arch-projects
by Thomas Bächler 28 Mar '11

28 Mar '11

A new list has been created: arch-projects. This list is for development discussion, patches and pull requests for initscripts, netcfg, dbscripts, devtools (and maybe other projects, those are the ones I could think of). Anyone is free to subscribe, but please, no user discussions (keep those to the forums or arch-general). Fun fact: There was a mailing list called arch-projects once, and it has been deleted, but the old archives are still there.

[aur-general] Store projects snapshots on sigurd
by Andrea Scarpino 28 Mar '11

28 Mar '11

Hi TUs, VCS PKGBUILDs in officials repositories should use a snapshot of the project and shouldn't fetch the sources directly from git; neither the snapshot tarball created by git (checksum changes every time). In [extra], we already do that storing the snapshot at ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/other/ . This is useful when a project dead or when website is down too. Then, we just set up ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/other/community/ , so our TUs can store their snapshots. Please fix your PKGBUILD to use it, but also please *do not* abuse of it: few space left on sigurd. Cheers. -- Andrea

I'm maintaining the cairo-compmgr-git [1] in AUR. Maybe there is some redundancy and the git version may be deleted. However if this only a temporary situation awaiting for a new upstream release then the AUR package should be kept. Does somebody know more about this package?

[aur-general] Please remove firefox-bin

Hey, Please remove 'firefox-bin'. It states that it uses beta versions but there's already 'firefox-beta-bin' for that - and there's also 'firefox' in [extra]. I told about it to the maintainer but he hasn't responded for 2 days (I also e-mailed him). Det

[aur-general] Google-earth and bin32-google-earth
by Det 27 Mar '11

27 Mar '11

Hey, There's been some discussion between me and the maintainer/submitter of 'bin32-google-earth' (srabd) as to whether 'google-earth' should finally replace 'bin32-google-earth'. He disagrees. In his oppinion the "bin32-" prefix should always be used when the package being offered is a "32-bit only" one. I in turn think that the package should be removed in the favor of 'google-earth' that you can install for both archs and where you could say eg. in the 'pkgdesc' that the package provides 32-bit binaries (for both archs). It is not as much of a problem for me to have 'bin32-google-earth' existing in the AUR as long as the other one didn't. It's redundant to provide otherwise the same application but the other package provides it for i686 only. So what should be done? I'm not a TU and neither is srabd - but you are. Let the discussion begin (please, let it). Thanks for your time, Det

[aur-general] New dbscripts and devtools releases
by Pierre Schmitz 26 Mar '11

26 Mar '11

Hi all, I have just updated dbscripts and devtools. The new epoch variable intrduced in pacman 3.5 is now supported and $repo.files databases are now in sync with the actual repo db. Devtools now optionally uses btrfs snapshots to create a build environment and also works better with multiple users. Archbuild has now to be run directly via sudo. See http://projects.archlinux.org/devtools.git/log/ for more details. And thanks to everybody envolved. Let me know if anything does no longer work as expected. Greetings, Pierre -- Pierre Schmitz, https://users.archlinux.de/~pierre
