[aur-general] script to check a binary package for architecture-independence
by Chris Brannon 02 Nov '09

02 Nov '09

Here's a script to check the architecture-independence of a binary package. It only checks to see whether or not a tarball contains files that start with the ELF magic number, bytes 0x7f E L F. Maybe someone will find it useful. -- Chris

[aur-general] Drop LLVM from [community]
by Ranguvar 31 Oct '09

31 Oct '09

Hello, The package 'llvm' is an orphaned [communuity] package. I'd like to request that it me moved to the AUR so I can maintain it (I have an update and overhaul ready) and I can also create a 'clang' package for it. (split package for llvm AND clang) Then it can be adopted by a TU if they want to bring it back into [community]. Thanks :)

[aur-general] Status of slimserver

31 Oct '09

Hi, Is there anyone interested in maintaining slimserver? It's currently orphaned, out-of-date and doesn't even install (missing perl-compress-zlib depends FS#16490). If no one wants it, we could solve all these problems by moving it to AUR. Eric

[aur-general] chromium-ffmpeg-codecs
by Ray Rashif 30 Oct '09

30 Oct '09

I can't even remember the name of the package, but it has codecs and ffmpeg as part of its name. Now, _why_ was it removed alongside the chromium packages? It was unrelated to the browser package naming issue. I'm just curious to know whether it was a mistake or a decision based upon a certain resolution.

[aur-general] Which package for cuda
by Karol Babioch 29 Oct '09

29 Oct '09

Hi, I need cuda for some of my applications, and just realized that nvidia has outsourced the cuda driver to another package. I could easily download this driver and install it, however it would be great, if I could use aur. I have seen some packages containing "cuda" in the name, but the package "cuda" just seems to be a meta package, which depends on cuda-toolkit and cuda-sdk, which I don't need at all. So is there any package I can install just to gain the possibility to use cuda, but not to install the sdk (nor the toolkit)? -- Best regards, Karol Babioch <karol(a)babioch.de>

[aur-general] Packaging LLVM
by Ranguvar 29 Oct '09

29 Oct '09

Hello, I see that the package 'llvm' is in [community], is orphaned, and is out-of-date. I've spent considerable time working on packaging LLVM and its add-ons, the Clang C-family compiler front-end and the GCC frontend. Therefore, I'd like to help package LLVM. I already wrote a PKGBUILD for v2.6 of LLVM (the package we have is v2.5), and it also has a lot of fixes and niceties. I'd like to discuss how best to proceed with LLVM -- whether Clang should be included in the llvm package or as an alternate package of LLVM and Clang, 'llvm-clang', stuff like that. In fact, what may work best is if llvm could be dropped into the AUR, where I will then adopt it and update it (and potentially add 'llvm-clang' and such as is decided), and then if a TU wants it in [community] (which would make sense), it can be adopted by a TU. Thanks! Devin Cofer, aka Ranguvar

[aur-general] xulrunner in AUR and extra?
by Phillip Smith 28 Oct '09

28 Oct '09

I'm going through the orphans list in the AUR at the moment looking for packages to adopt, and came across xulrunner. Given then xulrunner is now in extra, shouldn't it be removed from the AUR?

[aur-general] Remove vimperator-git
by Michael Witten 27 Oct '09

27 Oct '09

I am the maintainer of "vimperator-git". That project now uses mercurial (hg) rather than git, so I have uploaded a new package named "vimperator-hg", and now I would like to have "vimperator-git" removed from AUR. Thanks! mfwitten P.S. Under the current conventions, it is necessary to change the package name whenever the underlying version control system (VCS) is changed. Perhaps there should be a policy that encourages a more general suffix for such packages: "vimperator-vcs".

[aur-general] AUR password reset / cross-compiling some lib32-
by Mikhail Vorozhtsov 27 Oct '09

27 Oct '09

Hi. I was dumb enough to lose my AUR password. Left a request on the forum three days ago, PM'd the guy ('wonder') who did resets for other people earlier with no luck so far. Looking for a kind soul with enough administrative rights to help me. Back to the list topic, I've created a few packages for cross-compiling 32bit apps (namely, cross32-binutils, lib32-glibc-devel, and cross32-gcc, I'll upload them as soon as I recover my password). I use these packages to compile a version of lib32-alsa-lib (will be uploaded as lib32-alsa-lib-fixed) that looks for plugins in /opt/lib32/usr/lib/alsa-lib instead of /usr/lib/alsa-lib (and thus doesn't crash your wine/skype/etc). Feel free to use them when you encounter 32bit apps that have hardcoded paths for dynamic code loading.
