[aur-general] Java Dependency and Cross-Compilation Questions
by Aaron Schaefer 06 Nov '09

06 Nov '09

So, my new machine is up and running (and I figured out my previous packaging issues!)...so I'm updating my jGnash package (http://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/i686/jgnash/) to the latest release and there is also currently a bug report on the package (http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/16665) The bug report correctly states that jGnash will not run with openjdk6 (jre works just fine), so what is the current policy for handling that fact? I know that no other packages depend on jre directly, and the prefered method is now java-runtime, but doesn't that mean that openjdk6 users will just have this software silently fail? Also, if you're building an i386 package on an x86_64 machine, is there an easy way to test the software to make sure that it's actually working on i386? Thanks in advance... -- Aaron "ElasticDog" Schaefer

Hi, The CUDA Visual Profiler is now part of the CUDA toolkit, and is therefore included in the cuda-toolkit package.

[aur-general] Package Removal Request
by doorknob60 04 Nov '09

04 Nov '09

This package isn't mine, but I merged antzek9's changes into my package and we pretty much agreed that this package is no longer needed. Also they updated some stuff so I don't even think this package works anymore anyways. http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=29532 See the AUR comments and my fofix-svn package ( http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=29226 ) if needed.

[aur-general] [deletion request] virtualbox_bin_additions is broken
by solsTiCe d'Hiver 04 Nov '09

04 Nov '09

hi. there is this package in AUR http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=14621 called virtualbox_bin_additions but it is severely broken - it uses sudo to mount an iso on a loopback device - it does not create a vboxadd user needed for the vboxadd service and there already are 2 packages in [community] for additions virtualbox-additions and virtualbox-ose-additions (with virtualbox-ose-additions-modules) so i think it could better be deleted.

by Randy Morris 04 Nov '09

vim-screem[1] seems to be a duplicate of vim-screen[2]. vim-screem is orphaned has an incorrect $pkgname so I'd suggest we delete that one as the other is named correctly and currently maintained.

[aur-general] OpenLieroX package
by Anton Bazhenov 03 Nov '09

03 Nov '09

Good day! New stable version of OpenLieroX (0.57_rc1) has been released at Oct 05 2009, but AUR package[1] is still outdated. It is a minor release and it needs only small changes in PKGBUILD. I sent a mail to the maintainer (hm, he is TU) - no response, so I decided to write here. Please update or disown/orphan it. Also I want to upload testing version of this game, and it would be convenient for me to maintain both packages. [1] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=8235

[aur-general] Package in AUR with same name of one in extra
by Renato Garcia 03 Nov '09

03 Nov '09

Hi, Forgive me, I send the package opencv version 2.0.0 to AUR, without change its name to opencv-2.0. Now there are two packages with name opencv, one in extra (version 1.1pre1) and other in AUR (version 2.0.0). If you could rename or delete the package in AUR, or update the package in extra (it is orphan), I will be grateful. Regards Renato Garcia

[aur-general] Install in a click from AUR webpages
by Giorgio 03 Nov '09

03 Nov '09

Here I little hack I coded to install packages directly from the AUR frontend. Needed: - yaourt - Firefox with greasemonkey (https://addons.mozilla.org/addon/748) or any greasemonkey-scripts accepting browser. Steps: 1. Create a small bash script called aur_opener.sh containing the following code: #!/usr/bin/env bash gnome-terminal -x /usr/bin/yaourt -S ${1//aur:\/\//} 2. Make the script executable 3. Open about:config in Firefox and add the following variable: network.protocol-handler.app.aur with value: path to aur_opener.sh >From now on, every time you click on a link like the following: aur://pkgname yaourt will start. 4. Install the greasemonkey script AURlizer (http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/61015) 5. Visit any page on the AUR db. A new symbol [↓] will appear next to the package name. Click on it and install! Enjoy. PS Obviously, it would be very easy to implement this directly into yaourt / the AUR db. -- Giorgio F. Gilestro http://www.gilestro.tk +1 (608) 301 5864 pgp id: 1024D/DE8D92BF

[aur-general] bugreports assigning
by Laszlo Papp 02 Nov '09

02 Nov '09

Hello TUs, I'd have a question, what do you do when a bugreport occured for a package which package hasn't got actual Maintainer, or I can't see well. To who do you assign that bugreport? 1. FS#16965 - [preload] init script fails to stop cleanly Maintainer: Jarosław Świerczyński - He isn't a TU anymore, if I heard well. (but he is in the Trusted User list) 2. FS#16969 - [mget] fails to run (due to too new ruby?) Maintainer: Alexander Fehr <pizzapunk gmail com> - I can't see his name in the list, but I can see his name on the fellowers list. Thanks in advance. Best Regards, Laszlo Papp
