[aur-general] "Can't create directory" bug and inaccessible files
by rabyte 29 Aug '08

29 Aug '08

When uploading some packages earlier, I couldn't access any files except the PKGBUILDs (all others gave me "Access forbidden"). Can't update the pkgs either, as I always get that "can't create directory" error message :-( -- Follow The White Rabyte . . .

Finally I found that generating python code was a bit hackish and less flexible, so I reverted back to a DESC-like format, very easy to parse in python. And this is the namcap way : the python script just calls the bash parsing script then read and parse its output. I finished to implement all features the original script had, mostly the repo hierarchy one and circular deps checking. About circular deps, the old algorithm used was a bit messy and hard to understand, so I just chose to implement an existing one : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarjan%27s_strongly_connected_components_algor… This resulted in better and complete results, and also at a much better performance (old one took ~20 seconds in cygwin, new one is instant). The only feature that I refused to keep is the "Missing Repo Packages" one which checked the package existence on ftp.archlinux.org . This was the only one using network, and in my opinion, it does not have this place in this script. Instead, someone knowing the layout of the arch server could write another very simple script checking that all packages in the abs tree have a respective package in the package dir, if both happen to be on the same server. Enough with the technical details, here are the stripped results : 1) Results for core and extra $ ./check_packages.py --abs-tree=/var/abs --repos=core,extra Missing Dependencies ---------------------- archboot --> 'bcm43xx-fwcutter>=006-2' Missing Makedepends --------------------- wpa_supplicant --> 'kernel26<2.6.25' xosd --> 'xmms' flac --> 'xmms' Repo Hierarchy for Makedepends -------------------------------- core/iputils depends on extra/jade core/madwifi-utils depends on extra/sharutils core/e2fsprogs depends on extra/bc core/ca-certificates depends on extra/ruby core/madwifi depends on extra/sharutils Circular Dependencies ----------------------- glibc>bash>readline>ncurses>glibc db>coreutils>shadow>pam>db eclipse-ecj>gcc-gcj>eclipse-ecj 2) Results for community $ ./check_packages.py --abs-tree=/var/abs --repos=core,extra,community --exclude=core,extra Missing PKGBUILDs ------------------- community/kde/kdestyle-lipstik Missing Dependencies ---------------------- flumotion --> 'twisted-web' qc-usb --> 'kernel26<2.6.26' gg2 --> 'arts' eclipse-ve --> 'eclipse<3.3' man-pages-cs --> 'groff-utf8' Missing Makedepends --------------------- gensplash --> 'klibc-beyond' pygoocanvas --> 'pygobject-doc'

[aur-general] makepkg 3.2.1 testing
by Xavier 28 Aug '08

28 Aug '08

Hello, while pacman 3.2.0 release was quite good, makepkg one was a bit worse. I think the main cause is the lack of testing. I personally always use the devel versions of pacman and makepkg, but I use pacman daily, while I only use makepkg very irregularly. Anyway, the 3.2.1 release is close now, and all known makepkg bugs were fixed : - fix download functions with weird URLs (FS#11076) - fix creation of source package with local files (FS#11149) - fix error when sourcing profile scripts (FS#11179) - perform case-insensitive checksum comparison (FS#11283) For FS#11292 (handling multiple source files which have the same name), a new feature had to be introduced. it is now possible to use the filename of your choice for remote sources, like this : source=('filename::http://path/to/file') This allows to handle multiple source files with same name, and also to handle more nicely weird URLs like http://www.vim.org/scripts/download_script.php?src_id=6992. So if some of the intensive makepkg users could just grab this pre 3.2.1 release and simply check everything is still fine with their PKGBUILDs, or more specifically check that all the bugs mentioned here are fixed, or that the new filename feature correctly, that would be great. Simply gunzip the attached file, and either run it directly from where you extracted it, or put it somewhere in your path.

Hi, I need someone (a TU maybe?) to remove a wrong named pkg in AUR. I own Firefox2-2.0.0.16 and Firefox-2.0.0.16. The Firefox-2.0.0.16 should be deleted. Firefox2-2.0.0.16 is a work in progress and may not function in its current state. I will be asking the list a few questions as soon as i get some free time this weekend. Regards!

[aur-general] pdfsam in aur broken. I can't reupload the package.
by Tom 25 Aug '08

25 Aug '08

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, ...so i didn't know makepkg --source was broken and i've uploaded a source .tar.gz made with it. At first AUR only decompressed the PKGBUILD and not the other file which was a symbolick link actually, so because i didn't know what happened and I was suggested to, I've reupload it, so now the aur server has a pdfsam directory inside a pdfsam directory. Now i cannot do anything with that package, so it must be fixed inside the aur server internally.

[aur-general] Something wrong about libgl, mesa
by zhengyi 25 Aug '08

25 Aug '08

Hi, In the pkg-config files( /usr/lib/pkgconfig/gl.pc etc.), the prefix is set as "/home/jan/svn/........." It is a local path of the computer of <jgc(a)archlinux.org> . I dare say that is wrong! When I run "pkg-config gl --cflags", it told me that wrong path. Would you re-make the packages(mesa libgl) ? Cheers!

[aur-general] Hello (and kbib and yazpp packages)
by Peter Lewis 24 Aug '08

24 Aug '08

Hello! I'm pretty new to Arch, so thought I'd say hi. Also, I appear to have got involved in making pkgbuilds pretty soon too :-) I've taken over maintainership of KBib (a KDE bibliography manager) in the AUR, after an email exchange with the previous maintainer, who's no longer using Arch. I also had to create a pkgbuild for a depdenency, yaz++, the C++ bindings (so far as I can tell) for yaz, which is in community. They're both there under my name (petelewis) if anyone's interested. I'm not sure if the yaz maintainer might be interested in this... Anyway, so just thought I'd say hi, and if anyone has any feedback on these first two packages, that'd be much appreciated. :-) Pete.

The old scheme : 'http::/usr/bin/wget -c -t 3 --waitretry=3' The new one : 'http::/usr/bin/wget -c -t 3 --waitretry=3 -O %o %u' To G_Syme : you need to merge your makepkg.conf.new file to get the new syntax above. After that, it should work perfectly. I am not sure that it is worth supporting the old DLAGENTS array for this new filename feature, but at least makepkg should exit more gracefully and warn about the problem.

[aur-general] Applying for TU-ship
by stefan-husmann＠t-online.de 23 Aug '08

23 Aug '08

Hello, my name is Stefan Husmann, I am 40 years old and live near Hanover in Germany. I am working for a big ITC company as system administrator and in projects. I was encouraged by Ángel Velásquez to apply for TU-status. With this mail I want to do that. At the time I maintain 108 packages in AUR. Not all of them were written my me, but some of them I made after package requests on archlinux.org. Also I am active in the forums at archlinux.org and archlinux.de. I consider myself still being in a learning phase. Two months or so I was not able to do a proper patching of packages, now I am. So packaging is a hobby to me now. I only own a i686 computer, have no experience with the x86_64 architecture. Building packages for both arches seems a lot of work to me, especially if you are bound to a remote machine. So as a TU I would have to concentrate a bit more on really important packages. But on the other hand it is hard for me to see orphaned packages lying around, an often I pick them. :) In the forums i act under my real name, in AUR I have a nick, haawda. I can change that if you mind. I speak german, english and with the help of dictionaries and a lot of time I might decrypt a french text also. Please consider voting for me. Sincerely Stefan

My contribution so far: * 16 pkts - http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?SeB=m&K=nofxx * Started (to be finished) http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ArchTrack * PT-BR Translation - http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Guia_do_Iniciante%28Português_do_Brasil… * Often on freenode`s ##arch-br channel helping my fellow mates. * Made ppl use archlinux. Made my mom use archlinux! (and she loves it, with 128x128px icons on the desktop: internet, write, freecell. Sometimes she wonders about that black command line when the "internets are broken" and she still calls the OS 'computer' but..... =). There was this time too, I`ve hold a gun to a guys head until the installation was complete. Jokes apart, I`m not an expert or guru and that`s not much, but I wish to help, to contribute and learn with this community .... Thank you for your time,

[aur-general] Orphans in community
