[aur-general] missing "arch" in core, community, extra
by Yura Siamashka 31 Oct '08

31 Oct '08

Hi The official PKGBUILDs in core, extra, community often don't contain "arch" variable. Of course they can't be build with simple makepkg (missing arch error). I have read Arch Packaging Standards and find no mention about a situation where omiting "arch" variable is legal. Am I missing something or these official PKGBUILDS just broken? Here is list of such packages: gscanbus xmahjongg ltrace fortune-mod-osfortune fortune-mod-subversion lincity transset nant libcroco audiofile aspell-fi libdmx xsmbrowser libsidplay gforth mplayer-skins fortune-mod-matrix festival-don user-mode-linux icmake festival-awb-arctic fortune-mod-jargon help2man scrot aspell-pt fortune-mod-friends barcode aspell-de trm gtksourceview-sharp-2.0 lha fortune-mod-starwars aspell-el fortune-mod-xfiles cd-discid fortune-mod-calvin xpp ccmalloc feh glsof libnet festival-kallpc16k wmix ed2k-gtk-gui fortune-mod-zx-error terminatorx id3v2 aspell-es scsh xbl fortune-mod-humorix beep fortune-mod-bond selectwm setserial gcal libid3tag djbdns mp3splt xbill gtkglarea festival-rablpc16k speedcrunch words abcde antiword gimageview libmusepack xvattr netkit-tftp gfpoken cgoban aspell-en gpart aiksaurus fortune-mod-scc fping camsource acct xpenguins_themes mpage speedtouch rep-gtk ascii fortune-mod-smac fortune-mod-chalkboard libmemcache fortune-mod-futurama aspell-nl ipvsadm xorg-xsm xorg-fonts-alias fortune-mod-oneliners unionfs-utils smtpprox cowsay fortune-mod-fgump fluxter fortune-mod-prog-style libmath++ glhack xbitmaps recode acpi cssed moon-lander fortune-mod-taow i8kmon gif2png netkit-bsd-finger penguin-command libots artwiz-fonts fortune-mod-shlomif-fav achessclock fortune-mod-kernelcookies ksymoops randline pdksh gift-fasttrack checkpassword fortune-mod-codehappy tsocks fortune-mod-bofh-excuses figlet dailystrips cvsps pinball xboard fortune-mod-buffy gimp-print-lprng libxmi gdome2 tpb fortune-mod-hayward libifp tango-icon-theme-extras wipe fortune-mod-tao latex2html stow xalf root-tail i8kutils lesstifextensions fssos-nsvs sonypid aspell-ru yodl tvtime nhc98 libxkbui fortune-mod-shlomif vnc transfig gozer giblib emovix-codecs ucspi-tcp windowmaker-extra aspell-fr time fortune-mod-homer ices fortune-mod-hitchhiker bmp-wma aspell-it dbh ucspi-unix tuxpuck rcs emelfm daemontools netkit-rsh fortune-mod-discworld libxxf86misc ifplugd flite dansguardian ms-sys fortune-mod-dune-quotes mp3wrap libogg fortune-mod-romeojuliet ddcxinfo-arch gmencoder fortune-mod-osho fortune-mod-joel-on-software The script used to detect these packages is attached to this mail. -- Yura Siamashka <yurand2(a)gmail.com>

[aur-general] Reffering to a Package Version in PKGBUILD
by Christian Scharkus 31 Oct '08

31 Oct '08

I've got a problem with xine-lib crying for ffmpeg>=20080715. I have ffmpeg-svn installed and this fullfilled the requirement. But even if I write something like presents=('ffmpeg' 'ffmpeg>=20081031') into my PKGBUILD the error occure again and again. A dynamic Date as mentioned in the comments of ffmpeg-svn (something like date +%Y%m%d would be nice). Thank you Raubkopierer

[aur-general] python2.6 rebuilds
by Allan McRae 31 Oct '08

31 Oct '08

Hi TUs, I intend to move python-2.6 and the associated rebuilds this Saturday. This requires a few, but not all, packages requiring python to be rebuilt. It would be good if everyone could check their python based packages and be ready for this. Cheers, Allan

[aur-general] xautomation package
by Christian Scharkus 31 Oct '08

31 Oct '08

Hello everybody. The current version of the package xautomation at the AUR is outdated the maintainer xcsd seems to be careless about it. The package was submitted about October 2006 and the reffered source is from April 2004. I would like to replace it with this one: # Contributor: raubkopierer <mail[dot]sensenmann[at]gmail[dot]com> pkgname=xautomation pkgver=1.02 pkgrel=1 pkgdesc="Controls X from the command line for scripts, and do \"visual scraping\" to find things on the screen." url="http://hoopajoo.net/projects/xautomation.html" arch=('i686' 'x86_64') license="GPL" depends=() source=(http://hoopajoo.net/static/projects/$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.gz) md5sums=('523198135f7cf7a5324189aef20ac48d') build() { cd $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver ./configure --prefix=/usr make || return 1 make DESTDIR=$startdir/pkg install } Greetings humans ;)

[aur-general] Disown Merkaartor package
by Michael Kanis 30 Oct '08

30 Oct '08

Hello, the merkaartor package in AUR is outdated. The maintainer pfreire doesn't respond to the Out-Of-Date flag, comment and e-mail. Many of his other packages are also out of date. Could you please disown the package? I would like to maintain it in the future. Michael

[aur-general] dropping gcin
by Andreas Radke 30 Oct '08

30 Oct '08

we're having gcin (Chinese input method) orphaned for a very long time and i guess no developer is interested in maintaining it or even able to set it up well. we have one or more outstanding bugs for a long time i cannot confirm or fix. i think we should leave the maintenance up to the community. they will do it far better. if no TU wants to take it i'd like to move it to unsupported. objections? -Andy

Hi I'm sad/ashamed to say this, but since a heavy workload and some issues coming into my life,... I've to go inactive at least by a month (or I hope a couple of weeks), I am planning to finish all my pending work (in job), then return and re-organize my time.

Re: [aur-general] [request]: LXR -- Linux Cross Reference
by zhengyi 30 Oct '08

30 Oct '08

Hi, I must tell you that there is a "small" bug in the lxr, if you choose mysql as the DB. mysql taken "release" as it's keyword( I guess ), so in the file initdb-mysql, you will encounter syntax error. Because that file use 'release' as a table column. I've tried to rename it to something else, but the perl scripts of LXR complain for sql syntax error. If you familiar with perl+mysql, I guess that will not take you much time. Good luck! By the way: I suggest you to take a small scale source code package as the testing object. If you follow some docs from google, it will parse the Linux kernel code. It is a time-consuming works!

Hi, LXR seems a good tool to review software code. I tried to setup it, but failed. It needs apache mysql perl swish and so on. I'm not an expert of Mysql, and encounter something wrong while config it. There seems no aur package of it. Who can creat an AUR ? Thanks!

[aur-general] Duplicate packages in AUR
by Ghost1227 30 Oct '08

30 Oct '08

It was recently pointed out in #archlinux that there is a package in AUR which is duplicated and neither copy works, both trying to pull the source from mediafire. plasmoid-weather 0.4-1 <http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=19532> posted by Petr_Bambusek and weather-plasmoid 0.4-1 <http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=18819> posted by Diestelhenne Both maintainers have been notified of this issue, but perhaps something should be done about this duplicity?

[aur-general] abs and CURRENT
by Abhishek Dasgupta 29 Oct '08

29 Oct '08

Currently, abs downloads only stuff which is tagged CURRENT, this has a result of not giving the latest PKGBUILD in some cases; especially when a change has been made that does not change the corresponding binary, but only metadata like the URL and source links. Would it cause a problem if changes like these are tagged CURRENT? I could use SVN to retrieve the packages, but that would be a greater load on the servers. -- Abhishek Dasgupta

[aur-general] lib32 packages in [community]
by Abhishek Dasgupta 28 Oct '08

28 Oct '08

Hi, I noticed a strange thing: lib32 PKGBUILDs are in the tree but pacman -Ss lib32 turns up nothing. This is on a 64bit system, so I would expect the lib32 packages to be there. I checked with a few other [community] packages and they turn up on a pacman -Ss. I've attached my mirrorlist. -- Abhishek Dasgupta <http://abhidg.mine.nu> GPG 67972DOF pgp.mit.edu

[aur-general] funny-manpages and asr-manpages
by Arkham 26 Oct '08

26 Oct '08

Hello, these two packages ( http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=3759 and http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=3760 ) need to be updated but the original author doesn't reply to my emails. Moreover, the PKGBUILDs have a really horrible indentation. Could someone please orphan them so that I can adopt?

Package autoscan ( http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=7009 ) is out-of-date as of January 2008. The author has not updated and the PKGBUILD does not work due to the outdated source referenced in the PKGBUILD. Could someone orphan it so that it may be worked on by someone else?

[aur-general] info files
by Jiyunatori 24 Oct '08

24 Oct '08

Hi there. jxy is asking me on AUR if I can include the info file of the emacs-org-mode package. however, an old version of org-mode is now shipped with emacs, thus installing some info files within /usr/share/info. Is there a policy to address this problem ? Should I overwrite the info files from emacs (bad idea I guess) Should I rename the info file ? Should I just avoid installing the file, as I'm doing now ?

[aur-general] Greetings - Ghost1227
by Ghost 23 Oct '08

23 Oct '08

My name is Dan Griffiths and I am a 26-year-old independent contractor in Delaware, US. I have been using one form of *NIX or another for most of my life, wandering through MINIX, RedHat, Mandrake, Slackware, Debian, Gentoo and even two home made distros before finally finding Arch about a year ago. I instantly fell in love with Arch and haven't looked back once. I am currently maintaining 32 packages in the AUR, including one of my own (co-written) scripts. I go by the name Ghost1227 on the bugtracker, AUR, Wiki and on IRC. Simply put, I'm eternally grateful for the work others have put into making this such an incredible distribution and would now like to give something back to that community. I understand that at the moment there has been a bit of an influx of new TUs and as such some of you may (understandable) want to wait a while before adding anyone new to the list. As such, I thought I should introduce myself and give you all a chance to get to know me and take a look at my work without needing an immediate response. Take your time to get comfortable with the new additions, and when you are ready (and I have found a sponsor), I will still be waiting. Thank you all for your indulgence in my little rant and I hope to see you all around the community!
