[aur-general] AUR helpers in [community]?
by Kaiting Chen 19 Nov '10

19 Nov '10

Can AUR helpers go into [community]? `burp` and `cower` each have over ten votes and qualify, but I never see AUR helpers in binary form so I thought I would ask. --Kaiting. -- Kiwis and Limes: http://kaitocracy.blogspot.com/

[aur-general] need advice on package naming
by Hervé Cauwelier 18 Nov '10

18 Nov '10

Hi, I packaged python-libgit2 but the upstream is dead. And a new Python binding was started by the same team than libgit2 itself. It's named pygit2. So I wonder whether I keep the same package but point to the new repository (and thus follow the Python naming convention) or I keep the upstream name for people to find it (and follow packages like pygobject). Is it more important to prefix Python packages with "python-" or to respect the upstream name. In the former, I'll write down "pygit2" in the package description. In the latter, I'll ask for my old package to be deleted. Thanks for your advice. -- Hervé Cauwelier

[aur-general] Package splitting
by Gwenn Gueguen 18 Nov '10

18 Nov '10

Hi all, I'm planning to package pf_ring for archlinux. pf_ring has several components: - Common kernel module - Several kernel drivers for some network cards - Userland lib and includes - Some pf_ring capable softwares (tcpdump, libpcap, snort...) I'm wondering how to split this into several packages... Does the following look OK? - pfring-module-svn for kernel module - pfring-driver-xxx-svn for kernel drivers (one per card driver: e1000e igb tg3 ...) - pfring-svn for userland (lib and includes) - snort-pfring-svn, tcpdump-pfring-svn... for pf_ring capable softwares (with conflicts=snort, conflicts=tcpdump...) Thanks, -- Gwenn

[aur-general] delete packages
by Joao Cordeiro 18 Nov '10

18 Nov '10

I think all of these packages should be deleted: iolang (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=42613) dupe of iolanguage vimspell (http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=465) upstream itself advises to stop using it since vim7 has a better native spellchecker mkvtoolnix-patched (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=41906) "A permanent official solution has been included in the new v4.4 upstream release. So this package no longer has any reason to exist." floola (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=16267) OR bin32-floola ( http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=18717) both provide the same (outdated) bin package. One of them should be deleted (second one is the dupe but has better naming...) searchsploit-svn (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=38759) gone (?)

[aur-general] Does anyone maintain ImgToPs?
by Leonid Isaev 18 Nov '10

18 Nov '10

Hi, I am going to maintain imgtops (http://imgtops.sourceforge.net/) which is a graphic format conversion tool, useful to make large *.{eps,jpg,...} files intended for inclusion into LaTeX fit the http://arXiv.org standards. I don't think it exists anywhere in Arch, but just to be safe: Does anyone already maintain it, perhaps under a different name? Thanks.

[aur-general] zint qt optional dep
by Joao Cordeiro 18 Nov '10

18 Nov '10

I just adopted and updated zint. Zint checks for qt and installs both zint and zint-qt if it is found. Otherwise, it just installs zint. I don't believe this to be the optimal approach. Even if I have qt installed, it doesn't necessarily means that I want zint-qt. Despite that fact, I don't want to package zint with its original name, installing less stuff than the developer does and more importantly, removing features to users that installed previous versions of the package through AUR. My first idea was to create zint-noqt, implicitly leaving zint-qt behind. Is this the best way for me to solve this? Removing qt from the main package seems intrusive to me. Thanks in advance, Joao Cordeiro

[aur-general] [community] repository cleanup
by Andrea Scarpino 18 Nov '10

18 Nov '10

Hi TUs, we are here again. After the success with [extra] (DEVs adopted ~80 packages, TUs ~60), I want to reduce the number of orphans packages in [community]. Actually, they are 84 (82, I just adopted two...). The list is here[1]. Simply cross out the package which you want to maintain in [community]. Adoption is not required, but would be nice. Packages will be moved to AUR this Saturday 20th. Thanks [1] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DeveloperWiki:Community_Repo_Cleanup -- Andrea Scarpino Arch Linux Developer

[aur-general] Various new packages in [community]
by Gaetan Bisson 18 Nov '10

18 Nov '10

Dear TUs, I'm Gaetan, a (discreet) junior dev, mentored by Allan. I recently got access to sigurd and thought I would use that opportunity to maintain in [community] a few packages I have been maintaining on the AUR so far, but which are just a bit too unpopular to go to [extra]: pari (fast advanced calculator) http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=19196 dnstracer (DNS diagnosis tool) http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=3229 collectd (performance collecting daemon) http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=2341 They have over thirty votes each. Is it okay by everyone? Cheers. -- Gaetan

[aur-general] AUR Improvement Thread
by Kaiting Chen 18 Nov '10

18 Nov '10

How can we make the AUR even better? I'll start: 1. Integrated distributed version control system 2. User provided binaries (if case anyone wants to volunteer) (this should probably be carefully controlled) 3. Time-adjusted 'relevance' measure (votes are useful but suck at the same time; nobody cares if a packages was upvoted 9000+ times a million years ago, especially if it's already been obsoleted by something else) 4. An official client 5. LDAP support because LDAP makes everything so much better --Kaiting -- Kiwis and Limes: http://kaitocracy.blogspot.com/

qtile-new-git http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=40921 bavardage-qtile-git http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=23760 The first, package maintainer admitted he wrongly uploaded it, he currently maintains qtile-git The second, I have no idea where its from, but its circa 2009, references the same project webpage but a different source. Its uploaded by 'bavardage', who also owns that github branch... but no activity since early 2009

[aur-general] What to do about raggle?
by Kaiting Chen 17 Nov '10

17 Nov '10

I'm maintaining raggle in [unsupported] and it seems to be broken despite my attempts to patch it as best I can. The project has been abandoned upstream since 2005, and I don't think ruby-ncurses which it depends on really even works. I would delete it except that it has 75 votes. What to do?

starcal-new (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=32486) starcal-last (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=35941) The user was creating a new package every time a new version came out. Since the original starcal was orphaned I updated it and fixed the problem with python (that all the three had.) I think these two should be deleted, even though starcal-new is not orphaned. nppangband-newest (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=34119) Duplicate of nppangband from extra. rainlendar-beta (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=16491) rainlendar-light is now on version 2.7, rainlendar-beta-unstable is on 2.8.b98. The two of them completely replace it. liferea-dev (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=23759) Completely outdated. liferea, liferea-git and liferea-unstable are all up to date, replacing -dev.

[aur-general] why the latex-beamer package?
by Rémy Oudompheng 16 Nov '10

16 Nov '10

Hello, A latex-beamer package seems to have entered [community] recently. Is that an error ? The beamer package for LaTeX is already included in texlive-core, and moreover this package seems to depend on tetex (!) and installs files in the middle of the texlive tree. Regards, Rémy.
