[aur-general] community repo "cleanup"
by Allan McRae 22 May '10

22 May '10

Hi, I was thinking that it has been almost a year since the [community] repo switched to using the main db-scripts, but there are still a large number of packages without the package architecture in their name (the old scripts removed it). It is somewhere around 1/3 of the repo (anything build before 2009-07-14). In fact, one package (datemath) was built back in 2005! Given these packages are obviously not updated much, it would be good to give them a rebuild to get new packaging policies in place such as: - get the package architecture in the file name - build with new toolchain, CFLAGS, LDFLAGS etc - compress with .xz format - convert to arch=any as necessary - $startdir usage - package() functions - ... It would also be a good time to remove old packages that are really no longer of interest from the repo. What do people think? I can create an internal TODO list for these packages that can be slowly worked through. Allan

by Puneeth Chaganti 20 May '10

20 May '10

Hello, The django package [extra/django 1.1.1-4] is out-of-date and orphaned. Here is a package build for updating it to 1.1.2. I'm not sure if this should be updated to 1.2 or a new package should be created for that. Thanks, ~ punchagan

[aur-general] Can't upload package to AUR
by Heiko Baums 13 May '10

13 May '10

Hi, I've just built the new version of kernel26-fbcondecor (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=15603) based on the split package kernel26 from [core]/abs. It builds and installs fine and it creates every three packages. The first problem is that makepkg --source doesn't include the .install file into the package. The second problem is that I can't upload the archive which I then created with tar cfvz kernel26-fbcondecor.tar.gz kernel26-fbcondecor which includes the file kernel26.install. When I try to upload it I get a page with this error message: "Submit Use `makepkg --source` to generate source packages for submission! Invalid name: only lowercase letters are allowed." The package name is definitely correct. Is this a bug in AUR? If AUR parses the PKGBUILD's variable pkgname then it should parse the variable pkgbase instead if it's a split package because pkgname is an array in split packages. Greetings, Heiko

[aur-general] AUR Maintenance
by Connor Behan 13 May '10

13 May '10

I read in the archives that comments were 95% repaired by Firmicus and the copy with a few illegal characters is: /home/francois/aur-20100205-1859.sql.fixed2.xz on a server to which I do not yet have access. Since the comments are not back, I gather there is more to be done. Could I please go through the comments and repair sentences that make sense? i.e. "s/Th#s wor#s for kd#4 but #ot kdemod/This works for kde4 but not kdemod/" I will do this until everything is done or the only sentences left are unintelligible. The other problem is merging this with new comments that have been posted since the update. No one knows a reliable way to do this automatically, correct? And it would require adding countless database entries by hand? I am also prepared to get started on this brute force work. I will have several hours per week to devote to it. Please give me what I need to contribute! Thanks.

[aur-general] rt2860: proposed addition to community repository
by Sgt. Spoon 10 May '10

10 May '10

I would like to propose the addition of the AUR package rt2860 to the community repo. It contains the wireless drivers for the rt2860 chipsets, which come with all of Asus EEE PCs. This chipset is supported in the Arch install media but not in an actual fresh installation. In addition, there is no option to install it during an Arch install. Unfortunately, this means that those of us who do not have Ethernet connections available to us during installtime have no way of actually getting this card to work. As the package currently has 41 votes, I strongly recommend its inclusion in the community repo. If there are any TUs who would like to take this up, please do so. This package is hardly updated so it really shouldn't be too much of a hassle. Thanks in advance, sergeantspoon

[aur-general] Removal of the duplicate package intel-tbb_3.0
by Martin PERES 08 May '10

08 May '10

Hi everyone, Kagarrache's intel-tbb package is a duplicate of Denis's intel-tbb. It was created because Denis's package was out of date. Instead of flagging the package "out of date", Kagarrache sent a new version on AUR. Denis has now updated his package and so, we should delete intel-tbb_3.0. Denis's version: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=17322 Kagarrache's version: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=36023 Regards, Martin (aka mupuf)

It's been split into separate packages (jgoodies-animation, jgoodies-binding, jgoodies-forms, jgoodies-validation) and those packages should be members of a package group called jgoodies.
