[aur-general] Licenses, GPL3 only
by Philipp 31 Aug '10

31 Aug '10

Hi, I just looked up the GPL notation again. Here's the relevant excerpt from the wiki: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_Packaging_Standards .. The (L)GPL has many versions and permutations of those versions. For (L)GPL software, the convention is: * (L)GPL - (L)GPLv2 or any later version * (L)GPL2 - (L)GPL2 only * (L)GPL3 - (L)GPL3 or any later version Now besides that this is obviously confusing there's another problem. How would you specify that a program is GPL3 only? Regards, -- Philipp -- "Wir stehen selbst enttäuscht und sehn betroffen / Den Vorhang zu und alle Fragen offen."

[aur-general] PKGBUILD: build() vs package() function
by Nicky726 30 Aug '10

30 Aug '10

Hello, hope I don't get this missplaced, as a quick search didn'd get me any results. When I have a package, which does actually build nothing -- say wine_gecko (a file only needs to be placed to a correct directory) -- I should only have package() function in the PKGBUILD, is that a correct interpretation? Now the makepkg is happy but the AUR complaints. I can workaround that with an empty build() function in that case the AUR is happy but the makepkg complains. So I just put in there a harmless echo and both are happy now. Actually my question is not that much about the correct workarounding, as it is about if I really get the meaning of the build() and package() functions correctly, that is for building build(), for installing package()? Thanx, Nicky. -- Don't it always seem to go That you don't know what you've got Till it's gone (Joni Mitchell)

[aur-general] [multilib] wine_gecko, bin32-wine_gecko
by Nicky726 29 Aug '10

29 Aug '10

Hello, as for the recent multilib eforts, I read the "Changes to AUR and community due to the multilib repository" post here and noticed many bin32-* packages switching to withhout-the-bin32 name and I wonder what to do with wine_gecko/bin32-wine_gecko I maintain in the AUR. Is there a guideline for bin32-* packages? Thanx, Nicky -- Don't it always seem to go That you don't know what you've got Till it's gone (Joni Mitchell)

[aur-general] libicq2000
by Nathan O 29 Aug '10

29 Aug '10

Should libicq2000 http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=11337 be deleted, the package gives that it can't find libsigc++ though it is installed. I did some research and it is said that libicq2000 will not work with the libsigc++-2. I am thinking that you are not able to install libsigc++ and libsigc++-2. If it is to be deleted, package ickle http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=11336 should be deleted because it depends on libicq2000. Not sure what to do in this aspect. Thanks

[aur-general] cmake build
by Nathan O 28 Aug '10

28 Aug '10

I have encountered having the issues with software that uses cmake as it's build system. Usually I get the warnings stating that there is an Insecure RPATH and Package contains reference to $srcdir. I believe I figured out how to fix the RPATH issue, because a previous package had Rpath issues and I used sed to add a setting(can't remember what the setting is called at this second). The issue I have now is the Reference to $srcdir, for the current package and future reference, how do you fix it? Thanks

[aur-general] gtkd delete
by Nathan O 28 Aug '10

28 Aug '10

Also found another, gtkd http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=22002 The package won't compile, the last commit to the author's git repo is around 2 years ago. I tried using dsss like it said to use to build it and also renamed GNUmakefile to Makefile and ran make. If I used dsss, it would not install anything in the $pkgdir. If I tried running make, then it would give a compile error.

[aur-general] "bin32-skype" in [multilib] (as "skype")
by Malte Rabenseifner 28 Aug '10

28 Aug '10

CCing my announcement in the comments of bin32-skype (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=7914) please keep the package for at least 7 days to get people a chance to switch to [multilib]. "Since the announcement of the new [multilib] repository yesterday (http://www.archlinux.org/news/508/) I strongly encourage ALL users of bin32-skype to switch to the Skype package of that repository and report bugs and problems to the Arch bug tracker at http://bugs.archlinux.org (be sure that you have switched to "Community Packages"). I already have done testing of the package in [multilib] since it has been uploaded and I am bug free. Please help to find more bugs on different systems so that the change will go smoothly when this package will be removed from the AUR." -- Malte Rabenseifner, Germany mail(a)malte-rabenseifner.de -- Beneath knowing, understanding.

[aur-general] lib32-libstdc++5?
by Ng Oon-Ee 28 Aug '10

28 Aug '10

Hi all, Just realized http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=11191 is orphaned, and that there's quite a few comments below specifying exactly how to update it. Considering how many packages depend on it, I'm surprised its orphaned, but when I checked the PKGBUILD its a well-recognized name. Should I just adopt this package to update it and orphan it? Or is it more polite to wait for Pierre since I think its his package based on the name there. Or does the orphan indicate he doesn't want this package anymore? Thanks. Ng Oon-Ee

[aur-general] Orphan (adoption) request for x48 and delete request for x48-emulator
by René Herman 28 Aug '10

28 Aug '10

Good day. [this same message has been hanging in the non-subscriber moderation queue for a few days now] I'm a recent arch user (but longtime linux user) and would like to adopt the x48 package, an emulator for the HP-48 scientific calculator. There are two versions of the package on the AUR, x48 and x48-emulator but both are out of date and unfortunately neither listed maintainer (also CCed) has responded to email. I've created a new PKGBUILD updated to the current 0.6.3 and have also patched x48 itself to have it use the normal archlinux X11 app-defaults directory (/usr/share/X11/app-defaults) instead of a previously hard-coded /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults. The new PKGBUILD furthermore installs the "ROMDump" program so people can use it to grab the ROM from their own HP-48s. Might also like to do more serious work on the emulator in the future. I suppose the x48-emulator package will have been created only because back then the x48 maintainer also didn't respond -- if I can adopt the x48 package, the x48-emulator package could be deleted I suppose. I'm not a subscriber to the list; if I look through the archives I believe it's not usual to attach src archives but if anyone want to see my version, it's at: http://members.home.nl/rene.herman/arch/x48-0.6.3-1.src.tar.gz I'm "rene" on the AUR (with only the "ufiformat" package as of now).
