[aur-general] x86_64 TU wanted: warzone2100 2.1.0
by Vesa Kaihlavirta 26 Dec '08

26 Dec '08

Hey fellow TUs, I updated Warzone 2100 to the release they finally got out, but I don't have access to x86_64 arch before next year. So, if somebody wants to help our 64bit gamers a bit, go out there and makepkg, test a bit and communitypkg ;) --vk

[aur-general] New AUR Release
by Callan Barrett 24 Dec '08

24 Dec '08

The AUR is up to 1.5.4 now, hopefully I didn't mess anything up. This is a pretty quick release because there was a major bug killing the AUR every time a PKGBUILD had errors in it, this should be fixed now. There's also some other goodies like most of the confirmation pages are gone now. Have fun. -- Callan Barrett

[aur-general] Submit package with different version
by Carlos Pita 24 Dec '08

24 Dec '08

Hi, 1) I want to submit a pkgbuild for csound5, release 5.10, but I'm not able because another one exists for csound5, release 5.09. My package is not just a minor update to the previous one, so simply commenting the 5.09 version is out of question. How should I do this then? 2) At some moment I uploaded a csound51 package just to try and then I found out that I was unable to delete it. Could you please remove this package? Best regards -Carlos

[aur-general] Duplicates from core and extra in AUR
by Pierre Chapuis 23 Dec '08

23 Dec '08

I wrote a script that can, among other things, find packages in AUR that have the same name that a package in another repo. I think most of these packages should be removed from the AUR or at least renamed. For more information see http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=468188#p468188. -- catwell

[aur-general] please remove a couple packages of mine
by merp boop 23 Dec '08

23 Dec '08

I'm writing this based on this thread: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=468172#p468172 I created two packages, rocksndiamonds-fedora-32 and rocksndiamonds-fedora-64, but recently created a package called rocksndiamonds-fedora that has architecture autodetection, depricating the *-32 and *-64 packages. Please remove these two, thanks :) Max

[aur-general] makepkg developmental version
by Allan McRae 23 Dec '08

23 Dec '08

Hi all, I have just packaged a version of makepkg from my git working branch for people to test out. This installs alongside the makepkg from pacman so won't affect your regular package building. i686: http://dev.archlinux.org/~allan/makepkg-git-20081223-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz x86_64: http://dev.archlinux.org/~allan/makepkg-git-20081223-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz New features of interest: Package splitting support! - multiple packages are specified in the pkgname variable - each package gets its own packaging function where package variables can be overridden - see PKGBUILD-split.proto (in /usr/share/pacman) for "documentation" Added optional package() function in PKGBUILDs - limits fakeroot usage to packaging stages - see "man PKGBUILD-git.conf" for more info Treat info pages like man pages: - automatically compress info pages - info pages are not removed with the !docs options Added purge option: - automatically removes common conflicting or removed files - specify files in PURGE_TARGETS in makepkg.conf - default PURGE_TARGETS=(usr/{,share}/info/dir .packlist *.pod) Replace getopt usage with internal function: - allows makepkg to run on systems with old getopt version (e.g. Mac OS X) Other smaller changes: - ability to pass PKGBUILD from pipe - package compression type auto-detection - add configuration option to specify man/info page directories - specify alternative configuration file using the --config option - all integrity sums provided are checked - some fixes from the pacman 3.2 maintenance branch: - detect CRLF line endings - when automatically updating an SCM package pkgver, pkgrel is reset to 1 - speed up mercurial package revision checking - improved compatibility with older bash versions Known issues: - The -p flag to specify an alternative name for a PKGBUILD is broken - Repackaging with split-packages definitely does not work - Repackaging when using package() function probably does not work... - Some minor output changes are needed for package splitting Bug reports either to the pacman-dev list or the pacman/makepkg section of the bug tracker. Enjoy, Allan

[aur-general] Codeblocks vanished from AUR
by stefan-husmann＠t-online.de 22 Dec '08

22 Dec '08

Hello, the package codeblocks I maintain in Community vanished. I am quite sure this happened not long ago, maybe yesterday ore the day before. The x86_64 package still shows up on Pierre's package list on archlinux.de, but the i686 package does not. Also the AUR comment page is gone. Now someone uploaded codeblocks again to AUR. What should I do? Regards Stefan

[aur-general] TU Removal - Bob Finch
by Allan McRae 20 Dec '08

20 Dec '08

Hi TUs, Bob deleted all his packages from the AUR using his Trusted User powers. This is in complete violation of the principle behind the restriction that only Trusted Users can delete packages from the AUR and I believe is enough to warrant the removal of Bob as a TU. As you would have seen in previous threads, Bob has removed all his packages from [community] and apparently intends to resign anyway. Given the absence of official resignation, I am starting the discussion period now. It appears his CVS access has already been removed by someone else and I have drop his privileges on the AUR for the period of this discussion/vote. Allan
