[aur-general] Deletion Request: Gnaural duplicates
by SpepS 25 Nov '10

25 Nov '10

Hi, gnaural-bbgen ==> http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=19995 is a duplicate of gnaural ==> http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=43882 Also gnaural/gnaural2 is an old naming convention since gnaural2 on http://sourceforge.net/projects/gnaural/files/ is located in the gnaural_old stuff. (latest gnaural2 version is 0.1.20080229b9) So gnaural2 ==> http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=15317 could be deleted too. Thanks

[aur-general] About BURG packages
by H.Gökhan SARI 24 Nov '10

24 Nov '10

Hello, There is a variety of burg-* packages on AUR: burg-bzr burg-bzr-fixed burg-emu-fixed burg-themes burg-themes-extras burg-themes-fixed the packages with *-fixed postfix are the working ones (There is a thread going on https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=100130) And the other packages (the packages other than burg-themes-extras, I didn't test it) are orphaned or not working -BTW, most of them aren't updated for a while-. I suggest removing burg-bzr, burg-themes and renaming fixed packages as deleted ones. And also, I'll test burg-themes-extras and let you know if it works. Thanks, -- H.Gökhan SARI hsa2(a)difuzyon.net

[aur-general] TUs: low disk space on sigurd
by Pierre Schmitz 23 Nov '10

23 Nov '10

Hi TUs, just to let you know, that sigurd's hard drive is filled up to 82%. You should look for things to be cleaned up and please be more responsible with resources. Some packages are really large. Don't forget that a single package will need up to 4 times its size: two architectures, one source package and downloadable sources in the source cache dir. Greetings, Pierre -- Pierre Schmitz, https://users.archlinux.de/~pierre

[aur-general] Fixing packages with broken sources
by Pierre Schmitz 23 Nov '10

23 Nov '10

Hello Devs and TUs, as you might know some licenses require providing the sources somehow. While fixing the sourceballs script which implements this I discovered quit a lot of broken PKGBUILDs. We really need to fix those asap as this also breaks ABS and makes rebuilds a real pain (and impossible to automate in future). I have setup a todo list which can be found at http://www.archlinux.org/todo/48/ (there are also links to the raw logs if you like to see why makepkg failed) Here is how to fix it: * If you just missed uploading a source file to svn there is no need to repackage; just add that file and run archrelease $repo-$arch And: use devtools in futuer which prevent such errors * If the checksum is wrong: Have a look why this happened! This might be a serious problem. You need to rebuild and rerelase the package with a new pkgrel of course. * Upstream source has moved. If the checksum is still the same, just update the source url and use archrelease. No need to repackage. * Upstream source is gone. If there is a new version, update to that. If that happens regulary or there is no releiable upstream source you should upload the source to ftp.archlinux.org/other/$pkgname. If the source file is quite big, let me know; so I can blacklist it as there is no need to mirror it twice. Also, let me know if there are any false positives. Greetings, Pierre -- Pierre Schmitz, https://users.archlinux.de/~pierre

[aur-general] oh-my-zsh PKGBUILD
by Tony 23 Nov '10

23 Nov '10

Hi, I made a PKGBUILD from Robby Russell's oh-my-zsh <https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh> framework which helps manage your zsh configuration. There are over 40 themes with a handful of functions and auto-complete helpers available. It installs fine here, but in case you find something that should be modified, please provide some constructive input so I can submit this PKGBUILD to AUR. PKGBUILD: http://archlinux.pastebin.com/B3fyYkrp install file: http://archlinux.pastebin.com/1HpZXGwF Thanks, -- Tony

[aur-general] Please resolve tap-plugins and tap-plugins-cvs
by Ng Oon-Ee 22 Nov '10

22 Nov '10

Hi, I just adopted tap-plugins[1], updated and cleaned it up. tap-plugins-cvs[2] should IN MY OPINION be deleted, it does not serve any purpose above tap-plugins (the description talks about bsb but the package does not actually provide it). The problem is that louderbox[3] depends on tap-plugins-cvs. How to resolve? Ideally I'd think [3] should depend on [1] and [2] deleted. I am cc-ing maintainer of [3] here.

[aur-general] How to manually add or remove packages from the repos
by Pierre Schmitz 22 Nov '10

22 Nov '10

Hi Devs and TUs. in same rare cases it is needed to manually add or remove packages from our repositories regardless what is in SVN. ATM theses cases are due to e.g. svn crashing and leaving us with an inconsitent state or when some split packages have been removed from a new version of the pkgbuild. However, using repo-add or repo-remove on the dbfiles is a bad idea as they don't lock the db files and don't set the correct permissions. In short, just don't even think about doing that. :-) I have added some simple wrapper which are /arch/db-repo-add and /arch/db-repo-remove. Usage is: * db-repo-add <pkgfile> <repo> <arch> * db-repo-remove <pkgname> <repo> <arch> with pkgname being a single package name (not pkgbase) and pkgfile the full path to a single package. arch is one of i686, x86_64 or any. Greetings, Pierre -- Pierre Schmitz, https://users.archlinux.de/~pierre

[aur-general] Move pigeonhole to [community]?
by Peter Lewis 21 Nov '10

21 Nov '10

Hi fellow TUs, Are there any objections if I move pigeonhole (dovecot sieve plugin) from the AUR to [community]? It's got 9 votes at the moment, but there's a potential problem in that if pigeonhole isn't built against the installed version of dovecot, mail delivery breaks. So, the idea would be to keep dovecot in [community] and depend on the current version of dovecot *only*. This way people can't update their system in such a way as to break mail delivery. This make sense to you? Cheers, Pete.
