[aur-general] Please delete some chicken-egg packages
by Jim Pryor 10 Sep '10

10 Sep '10

Hi I maintain all the chicken-* packages in AUR; these are "eggs" or extensions for the Chicken Scheme compiler and interpreter. I'll soon push a bunch of updates. However, these eggs are now unsupported and should be removed from AUR: chicken-crypto-tools http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=32677 chicken-mailbox-threads http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=32763 chicken-multimethod http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=32770 chicken-termite http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=32835 chicken-wiki-parse http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=32851 Thanks. -- Jim Pryor profjim(a)jimpryor.net

[aur-general] ruby-gtk2 and friends
by Brad Fanella 10 Sep '10

10 Sep '10

I adopted ruby-gtk2, ruby-atk, ruby-gdkpixbuf2, ruby-glib2, and ruby-pango in the AUR recently to update the package and fix some issues with it. If I remember correctly, these packages used to be in community and were recently removed. Was there a good reason for this, or was it just a matter of not caring to maintain it anymore? As these are very popular packages, I would like to move them to community (if nobody objects of course). Thanks, Brad

[aur-general] Partially Inactive again
by Angel Velásquez 09 Sep '10

09 Sep '10

Hi guys, Since I am moving and I was doing my builds on my office through pkgbuild.com server (which is down from far 2 weeks) I've tried to do the rebuilds at my new home and my 3g phone connection. Of course, hdspa have their limitants and I can't upload or download quick or without issues in most of cases. I am getting a new connection from home, but they will install it until end of this September :/. So if pkgbuild.com server came back, I will update of course from home, but from now, I am needing some help, please feel free to update packages that I maintain and rebuilt them, I have some of them rebuilt, but I cannot upload them because of this network issue. -- Angel Velásquez angvp @ irc.freenode.net Arch Linux Developer / Trusted User Linux Counter: #359909 http://www.angvp.com

gnome-mail-notification http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=32363 seems to be the same as mail-notification http://repos.archlinux.org/wsvn/packages/mail-notification/trunk/ the only difference I noticed is that it doesn't have patches included in the official repo, doesn't seem to enable/disable any options. Thanks

[aur-general] what is the best way to resolve conflicting files in aur packages?
by Alex Combas 09 Sep '10

09 Sep '10

What is the best way to resolve conflicting files in aur packages? I've run into this issue a couple times recently, first of all with "panda3d-cvs" and "cuda-toolkit" both contained the file /usr/bin/bin2c The result was the panda3d-cvs maintainer just removed the file since he said it wasn't doing anything anyway. Now I've run into a similar problem but this time the maintainer fixed it a different way and it broke my package. opencl-headers http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=35367 has 3 files which are also provided by nvidia-utils So now to fix it the maintainer of opencl-headers has added conflicts=(nvidia-utils) to his package. But my problem is that I recently made a package (luxrays-hg) which depends=('nvidia-utils') and also makedepends=('opencl-headers') So my package (luxrays-hg) will no longer install because 2 of its decencies (opencl-headers & nvidia-utils) are in conflict. So what is the best practice in this situation? -- Best regards, Alex Combas goplexian.com

[aur-general] multilib
by Nathan O 07 Sep '10

07 Sep '10

I installed the x86_64 version of Arch, and I was looking at the wiki on running 32-bit apps in a 64-bit environment which seems what the multilib project/repo does. Though If I try and do pacman -S gcc-multilib gcc-libs-multilib binutils-multilib libtool-multilib lib32-glibc. Pacman gives me that binutils and binutils-multilib conflict. Do I let multilib's version replace it? Mainly I want to build i686/x86_64 packages and make sure they work fine on both architectures as well, maybe with running a few 32-bit only applications if I come across them. Thanks

I lost all the data on my laptop to an unclean shutdown yesterday. I'm afraid I can't maintain my packages until I've completed recovering what I can (if anything) and I'm done setting up a new system.

Please delete line6usb (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=15333) since it's now in the mainstream kernel (/lib/modules/2.6.35-ARCH/kernel/drivers/staging/line6/line6usb.ko). I created a PKGBUILD for the svn version of the driver (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=40604) Cheers, Emman

[aur-general] Question about patches in [community]
by Brad Fanella 07 Sep '10

07 Sep '10

Hi everyone, I have a few popular packages I would be interested in moving to and maintaining in [community]. However, I recall reading somewhere that AUR software that includes a patch is typically not accepted in community until the upstream developers fix/merge the patches into the software and release it. Is this correct, or am I being misled? Thanks, Brad

[aur-general] deleted package?
by Hervé Cauwelier 06 Sep '10

06 Sep '10

Hi, I found a flashplugin package for x86_64 this morning that seemed more up-to-date than the last one maintained in community. But by the time I installed it, it disappeared from AUR. http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=32539 I didn't see any deletion request on the list. Has any TU taken the initiative to delete it? (I can't use the multilib package because nspluginwrapper is too unstable.) -- Hervé Cauwelier

Those may not be working. (someone on Gerolde needs a nudge?) Could you all add a ~/.forward on Sigurd with your (real, unmangled) e-mail address and send a test mail to check if it works? Else, you guys can always strive to keep this one updated as an alternative to the profile information: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Trusted_Users I'm also in favour of standardising the mangling used there; personal preference, right, but currently it looks like a mess. -- GPG/PGP ID: B42DDCAD

Hi all, could you please remove my old package warzone2100-beta [ http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=33892]? Upstream doesn't do betas anymore, and there is a package in community. BTW also vdpau [http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=24337] has been replaced by extra/libvdpau, you should remove it. Thank you
