[aur-general] perl CPAN modules
by Nathan O 29 Sep '10

29 Sep '10

I was looking at how Gentoo creates packages and I noticed one thing, is that Gentoo, during build, will use CPAN to get the required modules for the package that is being built. I was thinking, I wonder if this could be implemented into AUR?

[aur-general] package 'php-imagick' has been marked out-of-date for a long time
by Upsuper 28 Sep '10

28 Sep '10

The package 'php-imagick' in aur has been marked out-of-date for a long time, it seems that the original maintainer is not interested in continue maintaining it. And the version now in the aur may cause some error as the imagemagick has been updated for several times. I'd like to take the original maintainer's place to maintain this package in aur, and I have made an up-to-date package. But I cannot submit it now. May I take his place?

Can somebody delete ubzl http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=41187 I searched for uzbl which didn't show any results and so I uploaded the PKGBUILD, then after, I realized that there are packages already named ubzl. Thanks

Dear TUs, I uploaded two new fonts with CJK glyph coverage to [extra] yesterday: ttf-baekmuk and ttf-hannom. The former appears to be gone from AUR, so many thanks to the person who took care of removing it. Could you please remove ttf-hannom-usong too? http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=31333 Thanks. -- Gaetan

Hi all angband-svn http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=33018 epiar-cvs http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=20735 switched since some time to git opensnc http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=40910 is a duplicate of opensonic http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=25598 rrootage-data http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=10842 is an incomplete outdated clone of rrootage http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=10843 My addition question: what to do with epiar? The original package http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=958 has been flagged out of date (correctly) since many new version came out. the problem is that upstream resetted the version counter, and is at 0.4.1: much newer than actual package, but version number inferior... What would the good way to update this? Create a new package like epiar-new or make epiar return to 0.4.1? I fear the second would cause AUR helpers to not upgrade existing installations of epiar...

I agree that it's a bit of a hack, but in my mind it's a bit more than a way to handle manually installed libraries. It's absolutely *not* something that can be substituted by archlinux packages, instead it's solving the following problems: - distribution-independent discoverability of available packages, useful during configuration steps of building - handling of different flavours of the same library, byte-compiled vs native, threaded vs. non-threaded, used for linking vs used in the REPL, ... - used by OASIS and probably other build tools So I'm convinced that *both* findlib and arch packages is the way to go. > So, >> On 20/09/10 10:16, Simon Legner wrote: >>> do we really need three packages of the OCaml library ocamlgraph [1]? >> > certainly not three as I didn't spot any differences between ocamlgraph and > ocaml-ocamlgraph, but I'd suggest to keep mine so that people can choose what > they want and that Magnus takes over the ocamlgraph package, which is > currently orphan.

[aur-general] Fwd: Extra package [jack] marked out-of-date
by Ray Rashif 27 Sep '10

27 Sep '10

Hi all Forwarding to the AUR list because it seems my reply did not reach the user (Christoph Pegel aka "rio"); jack was marked out-of-date again. Please read below and don't do this for a third time. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Ray Rashif <schiv(a)archlinux.org> Date: 23 September 2010 03:53 Subject: Re: Extra package [jack] marked out-of-date To: rio(a)eta-ori.net Hi JACK2 is not going to replace JACK1 anytime soon. There has been at least one discussion regarding this on the Linux Audio User and/or Developer mailing lists, where Paul Davis, one of the primary developers/contributors, discourage distributions to make this transition (eyes were on those that actually did it). I do not recall the topic URI to cite, but anyone curious can get in touch with upstream to verify. Both branches have functioning APIs - the JACK1 API is tried and tested. JACK2 is an improvement and an alternative for SMP machines, but not a replacement. However, thanks for the nudge. I have been wanting to add a "jack2" to the repos but never got to it. Expect it in [community].

[aur-general] Duplication: ocamlgraph
by Simon Legner 27 Sep '10

27 Sep '10

Hi all, do we really need three packages of the OCaml library ocamlgraph [1]? The packages are all up-to-date, but maintained by three different users. The correctest one according to the specified dependencies IMHO is ocamlgraph-withoutfindlib [2], which also has the minimal code for building the package. What do you think?

Hi, the yesod package at <http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=35370> is out-of-date. It has been marked out-of-date for quite a while, but unfortunately the Arch-Haskell team does not respond. Please disown the package so that I can take over maintenance and update it to the latest available version of yesod. Take care, Peter

[aur-general] Please delete udunits2
by Kaiting Chen 26 Sep '10

26 Sep '10

Hi, I'm maintaining both udunits and udunits2 right now. udunits2 apparently contains a compatibility library for udunits and therefore I have merged the two packages together. I believe udunits2 should be removed now. Just wondering if it would be meaningful to put 'replaces' or 'provides' in the new PKGBUILD since no packages in the AUR depend on udunits2.

[aur-general] chromium-beta and related mess
by Jericho Draken 26 Sep '10

26 Sep '10

As the email suggests, I am JerichoKru, the same one that sparked Det's...interesting conversation that took place here. Though I'd rather let that die off and get to the actual issue. chromium-beta has been giving me issue after issue. Because of this, I have not uploaded it yet. 1.) I had figured that 6.0.496.0 would be the beta because it is the latest of the v6's and the v7's are the in dev tree. Det listed what is now the latest stable as the beta...which is obviously not right. 2.) This version apparently doesn't need/incompatible with the gyp patch listed. It stated that the patch was filled with "garbage". 3.) Skipping the patch causes a build error farther down in the compile process. Unfortunately, I forgot to save the output. I'll try again tomorrow as it is 11PM in my timezone. Any input for this would be helpful. As for clamav, it is updated and should work (it worked on my machine, anyway). On a somewhat related note: I had typed a rather long response to Det's...rant but, I tried to sent it with my other email and thus didn't get posted. When thinking about it, that reply would have just fed to the fire. ----- ...for some reason claws-mail can't send emails with hotmail...

I started to adopt avbin64 and noticed that in the repo, there is avbin32, avbin-source and avbin, you can see the results http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?O=0&K=avbin&do_Search=Go In reality, I believe there should really only be one avbin since you can use if statements for it to download the correct source according to architecture.
