[aur-general] up-to-date package management instructions
by Xyne 30 Sep '09

30 Sep '09

Are the instructions on the DeveloperWiki's HOWTO Be A Packager page current? I wrote a script a while ago to handle updating packages but recently it stopped working. I also tried to add reflector but that didn't work either (yesterday). This isn't an ssh issue either as both ssh and svn connections work. I can post the error messages but I want to make sure that I"m following the right instructions before I waste someone's time. Thanks. Xyne

[aur-general] I can't see my own messages on this list.
by Xyne 30 Sep '09

30 Sep '09

I've just checked the web archive for aur-general and saw that my message(s) about nexuiz-data when through yet I can't see them or the replies too them (in sylpheed, if that matters). This hasn't been an issue before. Please cc reples to me until the issue is resolved. As for nexuiz-data, I've rebuilt the package against the latest svn checkout and it still complains (just sent another message because I couldn't see my first message on the list). It's amazing how everything goes wrong when you have absolutely no time to deal with it.

[aur-general] netatalk-2.0.4
by Farhan Yousaf 30 Sep '09

30 Sep '09

Hi folks, I finally got the new package for netatalk working with Arch. The previous one has major build issues. Can someone orphan the existing package so I can maintain this? For those who are wondering, this package allows Apple's Filing Protocol to work on Linux with Macs. For hybrid folks like me, this is essential. Thanks, Farhan

[aur-general] I need some help with nexuiz-data.
by Xyne 29 Sep '09

29 Sep '09

I'm having trouble getting nexuiz-data into the db. I get the following error when running /arch/db-community: [xyne@sigurd ~]$ /arch/db-community ==> Processing 1 new/updated arch-independent packages for 'community'... Checked out revision 3188. Validating package arch (any) nexuiz-data Checking SVN for nexuiz-data WARNING: nexuiz-data-2.5.1-1-any.pkg.tar.gz does not match PKGBUILD in community-any Updating DB for community-i686 ==> Copying DB file from 'community'... ==> Processing 1 new/updated packages for repository 'community'...

Errors found when adding packages Updating DB for community-x86_64 ==> Copying DB file from 'community'... ==> Processing 1 new/updated packages for repository 'community'... Checked out revision 3188. Errors found when adding packages I tried removing and re-adding the PKGBUILD, went through all of the steps again, double-checked that the correct PKGBUILD was committed, triple-checked the package's md5sum and rechecked the upload steps against both the wiki and my working scripts. I have even bumped the pkgrel and rebuilt the package on Sigurd (it's data only, all it does it download the source, move the files and repack them... no bandwidth was wasted either as it would still have been 600 MB as an upload from my machine). I've also tried removing nexuiz-data/repos/community-any several times from the svn (svn rm; svn commit) and then run 'archrelease "community-any"' again. I have no idea what to do now and would appreciate any insights. I've left the nexuiz src in my home dir on Sigurd for now in case it requires a rebuild (~/build/). The i686 and x86_64 package were both updated correctly so I really don't see what I'm doing wrong here. Thanks, Xyne

Hi, I'm going to disown some of my packages because of lack of time and switching to KDE.

[aur-general] How to make a PKGBUILD for Kepler/Xavante?
by Pierre Chapuis 28 Sep '09

28 Sep '09

Hi listmates, as I said in an earlier email in another thread, I always try to make a PKGBUILD for every piece of software I install. There's an exception though: the Lua webserver Xavante, which is part of the Kepler distribution (http://www.keplerproject.org/xavante/) I can set it up without Pacman that way: ftp://catwell.info/misc/arch/xavante/howto-setup.txt but I haven't found a way to make it work properly with makepkg. The problem is that the setup process run in a fakeroot leaves the string corresponding to $pkgdir in a lot of places in the resulting files, including binary files. I have tried to use sed on the resulting files but I didn't manage to get rid of it everywhere, neither to get a working package. Has somebody already given a try at packaging such an application, and are there examples of packages that deal with this kind of problem? Thanks, -- catwell

[aur-general] Time Taken for Tarball to Reflect Contents
by Ray Rashif 28 Sep '09

Is there a delay between an upload and the time it takes for the tarball to be regenerated? Or is it because for the first time I actually uploaded a src pkg (with the extension) when previously I used to upload my own .tar.gz files?

[aur-general] advice wanted on "surf" package
by Ray Kohler 28 Sep '09

28 Sep '09

I'm the maintainer of the "surf" package in AUR, and I've discovered an annoyance in the way I've created this package. I'd like some advice on how to resolve it. This package is a web browser from suckless.org, the makers of dwm. It has very much the same coding and build style, involving a config.h file which the user is intended to customize. Most of surf's behavior is decided at compile-time by this file. I've modeled my package after the "dwm" package in community, copying the default config.h into the root of the package tarball and listing it as a local source file. build() then copies it into the unpacked source directory before compiling. This is great for users of dwm who rebuild it from ABS, as it avoids the need to modify build() in order to customize the package - the user just needs to supply their own config.h and change the md5sum for it. This doesn't work so well for my surf package, though, since that's in the AUR. Many (most?) users of AUR packages are auto-updating with helper-tools like yaourt, pbget, and similar utilities, and it's difficult to automatically pull updates to package materials when you've changed one of the files. customizepkg won't help you much either, since that can only modify the PKGBUILD, and not the config.h. It's also annoying to me as the maintainer of the package. Anyone who maintains a package that's meant to have the build customized, rather than compiled as-is, will end up actually maintaining two copies - one "stock" version to submit to AUR, and one customized version for personal use. Obviously, none of these issues are show-stoppers. But they are annoying, and I don't packages I maintain to annoy my end-users. What can I do to make this package more comfortable for the average AUR user? Is software that expects compile-time customization just fundamentally not very compatible with the auto-update concept?

[aur-general] what about R?
by johnea 25 Sep '09

25 Sep '09

Hello Fellow Arch Users, Ya know, we don't always have control over what an upstream project is called. Take for example: The R Project for Statistical Computing http://www.r-project.org/ As can be clearly seen, the project's name is R. Yes, that is a CAPITAL R ! So I've got a PKGBUILD I'd like to upload, but it produces a package called: R-2.9.2-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz Which includes the projects UPPER CASE NAME. As a supporting note, the source filename is: R-2.9.2.tar.gz This package built and installed nicely here with that name, and seems to be running just fine. So WHY DOES THE UPLOADED PACKAGE NEED TO BE LOWER CASE? I'm not YELLING, really, I JUST HAVE A VERY LOUD VOICE 8-) So, what does the OFFICIAL AUR COMMUNITY think about the name of this package? How do we accommodate case aversion and still spread the power and fun of R to the arch linux world? One last point to note. When searching for, or listing packages, with say: pacman -Q | grep R The upper case REALLY helps overcome listing a bunch of other packages due to the extreme popularity of the lower case 'r'. Any suggestions as to a package name acceptable by the community at LARGE (sorry, I just couldn't hold that one back 8-) would be greatly appreciated. Your's in FUN and Graphics Scripting... android p.s. possible solutions: r-project gnur (gnur, really?) R (hey, why not) ... your suggestion here ...
