[aur-general] What about gphotofs?
by Javier Vasquez 09 Feb '09

09 Feb '09

Hi, I'm wondering why gphotfs was removed from AUR. Was it due to lack of users or lack of maintainers, or because what the packet provided is now provided by gphoto2 of libgphoto2? Just to find out whether I need my own version of gphotofs, or it's no longer needed, :). Thanks, -- Javier

[aur-general] Dormant/outdated package eee-control
by Ben Davis 07 Feb '09

07 Feb '09

Hi, I would like the AUR package eee-control at http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=22076 to be disowned in light of: a) The current maintainer has not actively maintained the package in almost 2 months b) I have posted an updated package and have been supporting a user outside of the AUR. Thanks

[aur-general] Java SDK/Runtime dependencies
by Leslie P. Polzer 05 Feb '09

05 Feb '09

Hello everyone, Rorschach has asked me to bring the discussion at http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=2033 to this mailing list. Please help us find a consensus. My answer to his last question is: --- Let them install openjdk6 to provide the j2sdk dependency. It's not the Arch philosophy to cut on freedom of choice. By forcing a user to use either a free or proprietary alternative of a PROVIDES we ignore the purpose of this clause (i.e. providing freedom of choice). --- Moreover I don't really see what's controversial here. I'm a free software supporter myself, but I don't like forcing people to use it. provides=j2sdk is the way that will hurt no party. Thanks, Leslie -- LinkedIn Profile: http://www.linkedin.com/in/polzer Xing Profile: https://www.xing.com/profile/LeslieP_Polzer Blog: http://blog.viridian-project.de/

[aur-general] Can't update squirrel-sql
by admin＠richardmurri.com 05 Feb '09

05 Feb '09

Hi, I'm having trouble on an update to the AUR and was wondering if anybody might have any ideas to help me out. I'm not sure if I've done something dumb or if this is and AUR bug. Specifically, every time I submit an update for squirrel-sql I get back an HTTP 500 error message. I am also the maintainer of fetchyahoo, to which I am still able to submit updates. Here is the offending PKGBUILD: # Contributor: Richard Murri <admin(a)richardmurri.com> pkgname=squirrel-sql pkgver=2.6.9 pkgrel=1 pkgdesc="A graphical Java program to manage JDBC databases." arch=('i686' 'x86_64') url="http://www.squirrelsql.org/" license=('LGPL' 'APACHE' 'CPL' 'custom:dean_jones_icons_license' 'custom:nano_xml_license' 'custom:sun_icons_license') groups=() depends=('jre') makedepends=() provides=() conflicts=() replaces=() backup=() options=() source=(http://downloads.sourceforge.net/squirrel-sql/$pkgname-$pkgver-stan… noextract=() md5sums=('67196bc78d45db39f9f0f152f31a28b1') build() { cd "$srcdir/SQuirreL SQL Client" # remove unneeded files rm squirrel-sql.sh rm squirrel-sql.bat rm addpath.bat rm Uninstaller/uninstaller.jar rmdir Uninstaller # copy library files (don't worry about plugins because they are squirrel specific) mkdir -p "$pkgdir/usr/share/java/squirrel-sql" mv lib/* "$pkgdir/usr/share/java/squirrel-sql" rmdir lib # copy license files rm doc/licences/squirrel_licence.txt rm doc/licences/log4j-licence.txt rm doc/licences/eclipse-icons-licence.html rm doc/licences/eclipse-icons-licence.txt mkdir -p "$pkgdir/usr/share/licenses/squirrel-sql" mv doc/licences/* "$pkgdir/usr/share/licenses/squirrel-sql" rmdir doc/licences/ # copy main files mkdir -p "$pkgdir/usr/share/squirrel-sql" cp -r * "$pkgdir/usr/share/squirrel-sql" # create startup file mkdir -p "$pkgdir/usr/bin/" echo "\ #!/bin/sh CP=/usr/share/squirrel-sql/squirrel-sql.jar for name in /usr/share/java/squirrel-sql/*.jar ; do CP=\$CP:\$name done cd /usr/share/squirrel-sql java -Xmx256m -cp \$CP net.sourceforge.squirrel_sql.client.Main --log-config-file /usr/share/squirrel-sql/log4j.properties --squirrel-home /usr/share/squirrel-sql \$1 \$2 \$3 \$4 \$5 \$6 \$7 \$8 \$9 " > "$pkgdir/usr/bin/squirrel-sql" chmod +x "$pkgdir/usr/bin/squirrel-sql" } # vim:set ts=2 sw=2 et: Thanks for any help, Richard

I unflagged axel out of date cause it was still flagged when you had uploaded the new version. I just flagged and unflagged it again just to check. Does it still happen? Greg

[aur-general] Updating PKGBUILD tarballs
by Beej Jorgensen 28 Jan '09

28 Jan '09

Hey, guys... I'm a newbie with a question. Presuming I've already uploaded example-4.5-1.src.tar.gz to AUR, when I later make maintenance changes, do I just upload my example-4.6-1.src.tar.gz the same way? That is, will AUR just smartly figure out that it's an update of an existing package? (I'm guessing it'll key off packagename/myname...?) Thanks! -Beej
