[aur-general] rkhunter package and kernel26fbcondecor
by Heiko Baums 21 Apr '09

21 Apr '09

Hi! First I wanted to ask, if there's a reason, why the package rkhunter was removed from AUR. Second I had to rename the package kernel26fbcondecor to kernel26-fbcondecor due to some nice changes in the PKGBUILD of kernel26, which makes compiling and maintaining other kernel packages a lot easier. See my comments for both packages. So I guess the package kernel26fbcondecor can be removed from AUR. It can be found here: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=14982 Regards, Heiko

[aur-general] Packaging perl modules - best practices for dependancies?
by Oliver Charles 20 Apr '09

20 Apr '09

Hi all, I used to use Arch a while ago, and packaged quite a few Perl modules [1]. After switching operating systems, I've come back to Arch - and I need to be a good maintainer of my packages :) I remember when I wrote these how frustrating it was manually writing just about every package for the dependancy tree. Personally, I'm of the stance that you should choose one package manager and stick with it - either all CPAN or fully Pacman/AUR. However, I've seen quite a few packages that do not do this. Instead, they rely on the fact that Build.PL and Makefile.PL are both capable of installing dependancies from CPAN. Like I said, I personally don't like this approach of mixing 2 package managers, it just seems like a recipe for confusing both package managers. Could anyone shed some light on what the *correct* procedure is - and also if there any tools out there that will scrape CPAN to build packages, before I write my own (in Perl, of course ;) Thank you! -- Oliver Charles / aCiD2 [1]: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?SeB=m&K=aCiD2 are my packages if you wish to check them

[aur-general] adopting from community: pinot
by Gergely Imreh 20 Apr '09

20 Apr '09

Hi, I was checking orphan packages that should be revived. I found Pinot [1] and made a new version. Since it is in "community", though, it cannot be adopted. I attach the new version of the package here (tar.gz, because it has Changelog, PKGBUILD and .install) and you can apply it to the CVS version. Or if you release it from community, I'll adopt it then. Cheers, Greg [1] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=8700

[aur-general] orphaning commuinty packages
by Pierre Schmitz 18 Apr '09

18 Apr '09

Hi TUs, I would like to orphan some packages in [community]. So just grab them if you like. I think I'll just remove them if nobody is interested. (very low usage) rkhunter pyspf pydns pyclamav php-xdebug logwatch courier-pythonfilter php-fileinfo will be part of PHP 5.3; so I'll keep it till then. -- Pierre Schmitz Clemens-August-Straße 76 53115 Bonn Telefon 0228 9716608 Mobil 0160 95269831 Jabber pierre(a)jabber.archlinux.de WWW http://www.archlinux.de

[aur-general] Packages for adoption
by Alexander Fehr 18 Apr '09

18 Apr '09

Hi, I want to give away some packages from [community] that I'm not longer interested to maintain: bygfoot catfish dvdstyler (wxsvg) kazehakase mget pinot (xapian-core, libtextcat, unrtf) qemulator tracker, tracker-gnome-search-tool If you want any of them, just write a short note and I will orphan them. Also I don't have the time to maintain the vmware PKGBUILDs anymore: vmware-workstation, vmware-workstation-modules vmware-player, vmware-player-modules vmware-server, vmware-server-modules, vmware-server-console If no TU wants them, I will orphan them in a few days.

[aur-general] Resigning as a TU
by Allan McRae 18 Apr '09

18 Apr '09

Hi all, I have decided it is time for me to resign as a TU. This has been a decision that has been on my mind for a while. I am wanting to focus my efforts on what I see as core parts of Arch (primarily pacman development and what I consider "core" packages). I currently leave any requests for package orphaning and deletion and AUR password change requests to others and I have been relying on others to check TU applicants packaging skills, so I am not doing TU stuff anyway. I will still be around to give my opinion is someone wants it. I will continue maintaining my packages in [community] (at least for the time being) but I no longer use the following packages and so they are up for adoption if someone wants them: axel barrage blobwars bmpanel colordiff critter curlftpfs dtach exaile (with cddb-py) gauplol gimmix (with libnxml) gnochm gnome-cup-manager gnome-do + gnome-do-plugins (with flickrnet + gnome-keyring-sharp-svn + notify-sharp-svn) gnome-mplayer + gecko-mediaplayer gnome-sbtitles (with sublib) gnomebaker gprename gtk-recordmydesktop gtvg gwget libev menumaker mozplugger multiget mupen64plus ogmrip (with gpac) pida pidgin-otr pyenchant pympd python-pyalsaaudio python-sexy pytube (with ffmpeg2theora) qt-recordmydesktop shake sloccount solarwolf supertuxkart (with plib) tagtools teeworlds terminator upx visualboyadvance wbar winefish xfce4-places-plugin xmltv (with perl-fcgi + perl-html-tree + perl-http-cache-transparent + perl-http-response-encoding + perl-lingua-en-numbers + perl-lingua-en-numbers-ordinate + perl-lingua-preferred + perl-soap-lite + perl-text-bidi + perl-text-kakasi + kakasi + perl-unicode-utf8simple - Note all are rarely updated so this is not much work...) I think any TU can disown another's packages so just go ahead and adopt what you want from that list. But stick to the list as I am keeping some packages that I do still use... Allan

[aur-general] Proposed PKGBUILD for next llvm build
by Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi 17 Apr '09

17 Apr '09

Hi While fixing the insecure RPATH in community/llvm package [#1] also fixed some others issues that I encountered. (List of files in the generated packaged can viewed here [#2]) This is the list of changes from the original PKGBUILD: 0) Updated to the latest llvm version. 1) Removed libtool dependency, is only needed at build time. 2) Use the license from tarball, instead of downloading it, since is the same, that are in webpage. 3) Fixed libdir, use /usr/lib/llvm instead of /usr/lib, this is more apropiated since llvm put some .o files that are relocatable. 4) Fixed insecure rpath in all binary files. 5) Fixed the path from scripts gccld and gccas that points to build directory instead of /usr/bin 6) Removed the build of sample hello transformation. 7) Use PIC code on x86_64 builds (--enable-pic). 8) Build only for the target machine instead of all supported. 9) Added --enable-bindings=none, since if ocaml is installed will build some files for it. 10) Put --enable-optimized at configure script intead of make var. 11) Build a more "release" code with options: --disable-assertions and --disable-expensive-checks 12) Force one job at installation step since more than one job fails. # Maintainer: Geoffroy Carrier <geoffroy.carrier(a)aur.archlinux.org> # Contributor: Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi <vmlinuz386(a)yahoo.com.ar> # Contributor: Tomas Lindquist Olsen <tomas(a)famolsen.dk> # Contributor: Roberto Alsina <ralsina(a)kde.org> pkgname=llvm pkgver=2.5 pkgrel=1 pkgdesc="Low Level Virtual Machine" arch=('i686' 'x86_64') url="http://llvm.org" license=('custom':'University of Illinois/NCSA Open Source License') depends=('libelf') source=("http://llvm.org/releases/$pkgver/$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.gz") md5sums=('55df2ea8665c8094ad2ef85187b9fc74') build() { cd $srcdir/$pkgname-$pkgver # --sysconfdir to configure apparently isn't enough ... sed 's:$(PROJ_prefix)/etc/llvm:/etc/llvm:' \ -i Makefile.config.in || return 1 # --libdir to configure apparently isn't enough ... sed 's:$(PROJ_prefix)/lib:$(PROJ_prefix)/lib/llvm:' \ -i Makefile.config.in || return 1 # Fix insecure rpath http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/14017 sed 's:-rpath \$(ToolDir)::g' -i Makefile.rules || return 1 # Fix path that point to the build directory sed 's:^TOOLDIR.*:TOOLDIR=/usr/bin:' \ -i tools/gccld/gccld.sh tools/gccas/gccas.sh || return 1 # remove docs from the make targets sed 's:runtime docs:runtime:' -i Makefile || return 1 # remove libHello transformation sed 's: Hello::' -i lib/Transforms/Makefile || return 1 if [ "${CARCH}" = "x86_64" ]; then _pic_flag="--enable-pic" else _pic_flag="" fi ./configure --prefix=/usr \ --libdir=/usr/lib/llvm \ --sysconfdir=/etc \ --enable-bindings=none \ --enable-targets=host-only \ --enable-optimized \ --disable-assertions \ --disable-expensive-checks ${_pic_flag} || return 1 make || return 1 # install fails with more than one make job make -j1 DESTDIR=$pkgdir install || return 1 install -D LICENSE.TXT $pkgdir/usr/share/licenses/llvm/COPYING } Cheers!

[aur-general] Resigning as a TU

Hello all, It is also time for me to resign as a Trusted User. I've been here for two years already, and it's been quite enjoyable. But now my time schedule is getting too demanding, and I prefer to leave the field for new TUs. Of course, I will continue to contribute to the Arch community as a developer. I offer the following packages for adoption to any interested TU: pdfedit texmaker mp3unicode libxml-perl perl-crypt-ssleay perl-json perl-file-nfslock perl-freezethaw perl-mime-tools perl-term-readline perl-xml-dom perl-xml-regexp perl-xml-sax I will continue maintaining those that are not adopted, as well as the following ones (mostly perl stuff), because I use them and they are not a great deal of work, but if any one is interested I can orphan them on request. apparix perl-cpanplus-pacman perl-dbd-pg perl-file-slurp perl-list-moreutils perl-log-log4perl perl-params-validate perl-parse-recdescent perl-text-reform perl-tidy perl-xml-libxml perl-xml-libxml-common perl-xml-libxslt perl-xml-namespacesupport perl-xml-writer perl-xml-xpath Best regards, François (Firmicus)
