[aur-general] package submission
by Kyle 03 Mar '11

03 Mar '11

I have created a new package build for SVox Pico, a small speech synthesis engine, and I'm in the process of submitting it to AUR. I must choose a category on the submission page. SVox Pico consists of a library for producing speech output as well as a utility that converts text on the command line to a .wav file. Which category is most appropriate for such an application? Would lib be best, or is there something else that may fit better? ~Kyle

[aur-general] Obsoleted packages removal request.
by Final Crisis 03 Mar '11

03 Mar '11

The following package is obsolete and I believe should be removed: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=27279 grub2-gfxmenu-overlay The following packages are a little less clear, but in the end I believe should also be removed, as they have a few problems: They rely on grub2-gfxmenu, which is obsolete. Grub2 was supposed to take gfxmenu patches upstream a while ago. I don't know if it did + whether or not these still work after tweaking the pkgbuilds accordingly, as I have since switched back to the old grub. It seems after a very long time, nobody has come forth to say one way or another on any of the pages. It wouldn't much matter anyway, however, unless someone has backups of the theme files somewhere to upload to a different host of their own. The urls all of the theme packages try to download from are now broken and have been for quite some time, as they were kept by a friend of mine a while ago who had no further reason to keep up his hosting services. None of them have a maintainer except the last one, but for the above reasons, it doesn't much matter as far as I can see. http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=27281 grub2-theme-aftermathbluehttp://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=27282 grub2-theme-archspherehttp://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=27283 grub2-theme-distroballshttp://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=27285 grub2-theme-planeplanthttp://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=27286 grub2-theme-simplyblackhttp://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=27288 grub2-theme-ubuntuglowhttp://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=27284 grub2-theme-elegantarch This package has the same troubles, except for a working url.http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=31084 grub2-icons-circlestarts

[aur-general] PKGBUILD URL has changed
by Justin Davis 27 Feb '11

27 Feb '11

I just wanted to let AUR helper authors (or other AUR enthusiasts) know that the PKGBUILD URL has changed on the AUR. All AUR helpers should update your code. I knew the AUR was updated recently but I did not realize that the URLs were changed for PKGBUILDs until I looked carefully at the AUR and the new patches. I found out earlier today and wanted to help others who might wonder why their AUR software slowly starts to break. The old scheme was: /packages/<name>/<name>/PKGBUILD The new scheme is: /packages/<name>/PKGBUILD Fun facts: Packages that were uploaded before the change still have an extracted package directory (/packages/<name>/<name>). The old packages also have a copy of their PKGBUILD in the new location.This means they have a PKGBUILD in both locations. Once a package is uploaded the old package directory is deleted so only one PKGBUILD remains (/packages/<name>/PKBUILD). So all packages uploaded after the change use the new PKGBUILD URLs. -juster

[aur-general] Adding AUR packages to [community] packages' provides
by Lukas Fleischer 26 Feb '11

26 Feb '11

Well, I'm addressing current blacklisting issues with the AUR [1]. I noticed that some of the packages in the official repos have AUR packages as provides, some of them (well, at least one of them, didn't search for more) were even added due to FRs [2]. Donnu if this applies to [core] and [extra] as well. Is that regular practice? Imho, we shouldn't do that. The AUR is something to be considered separately. If we start to care about provides/conflicts with AUR packages, we'll need to add all "-devel"/"-svn"/"-git"/"-beta" packages in the AUR to the official packages conflicts and provides as well. And we'll need to start searching for alternative repos to ensure there's no conflict with our official packages. Seriously, we should be consistent here.

Well this is new.... "postgresql-client is on the package blacklist, please check if it's available in the official repos." postgresql-client is not in the repos, but it is 'provides' in postgresql, as per FS#16495: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/16495 How should I handle this?

[aur-general] AUR is no longer UTF-8?
by keenerd 25 Feb '11

25 Feb '11

Yesterday the AUR went down. Toofishes made a comments in #arch about restarting the server. Since this, encoding have been horribly broken. Nothing is UTF8 any more. Here is a small list of broken pages: zeitgeist, yamagi-quake2, gcc34, sendmail, l-seed, surl, open-sasc-ng, splashy-full, biblatex-biber-git These just have glitches in the comments. Visit them with a browser and you'll see � (block/question mark) everywhere. Some packages also have non-utf8 in the description. Only one of these I've found is arkanae3_2d but I'll have a better list before too long. -Kyle http://kmkeen.com
