[aur-general] python rebuilds needed
by Allan McRae 26 Jun '08

26 Jun '08

Hi TUs, I have uploaded an updated python package to testing. This removes the searching of the /usr/lib/python2.4 directory for modules (as python2.5 modules should be installed in the 2.5 directory). This will break a few packages whose files are still on the old python2.4 directory and anything that depends on them. Here is the packages I have found that need rebuilt: bhv-0.0.10-1 (sergej) diacanvas-0.14.4-1 (BaSh) everygui-0.99.b-1 (Romashka) pychecker-0.8.17-2 (sergej) pyrtf-0.45-1 (sergej) pysdl_mixer-0.0.3-2 (sergej) python-chardet-1.0-1 (sergej) python-galago-0.5.0-1 (sergej) python-galago-gtk-0.5.0-1 (sergej) python-mpdclient2-0.11.1-2 (codemac) webboard-0.2-3 (sergej) These just need rebuilt with python (v2.5) so their files are installed in /usr/lib/python2.5. In general, it should not be necessary to use the python version in [testing] as the current version in [extra] will package most files in the right place. I think packages built using scons may require the [testing] version. Just check that there are no files in /usr/lib/python2.4 once you have finished rebuilding the packages. Cheers, Allan

[aur-general] AUR upload problem
by Gerhard Brauer 25 Jun '08

25 Jun '08

Hello, i have a problem uploading a package to AUR. It's revoked, but there isn't a package named nxcomp, neither in AUR nor in official Repos. Error is(translated): You are not allowd to overwrite the existing package nxcomp I've send a mail on arch-genereal ML and Callan point me to a releavant bugreport http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/8672 The problem is: This package is a dependency of some other packages which i already put in AUR. So could one of you TUs please put the package in AUR? Maybe orphand after that, so i could take it. I attach the tarball, it should be in category libs. Thanks Gerhard -- Try rm -rf (_R_ead _M_ail _R_ealy _F_ast)

[aur-general] Orphaning my packages
by Neil Darlow 23 Jun '08

23 Jun '08

Hi, I have orphaned my unsupported packages as I will no longer be using Arch. I don't agree with Arch's reluctance to fix bugs which they consider upstream. I recently installed Mandriva on one of my systems and was amazed to see all the features that are broken in Arch's GNOME, due to them being upstream bugs, fully working in that distribution. As my principle reason for using GNU/Linux is to get work done and Arch's philosophy seems, to me, to be working against this I feel it is time to depart from Arch. My packages were: * asl * bouml * freehdl * gnome-hearts * subcommander Regards, Neil Darlow

[aur-general] skype in [community]
by Pierre Schmitz 23 Jun '08

23 Jun '08

Hi there, I just noticed that we have skype in [community]. After a quick review of their license I would assume we are not allowed to redistribute it: http://www.skype.com/legal/promote/distribute/ "You will not distribute Skype Software through other media than CD-ROM or DVD, unless approved by Skype in an explicit written communication to You." If I am not really wrong here I would assume we should remove that crap asap. As a sidenote: please read the license before adding any package to a repo. It's not enough to copy the license file into the right directory. :-) Pierre -- http://www.archlinux.de

[aur-general] Initial "haskell overlay" available
by Don Stewart 19 Jun '08

19 Jun '08

Hey all, A week ago I announced a group had formed to improve Haskell support in the Arch package system. One week ago, the Haskell on Arch story was rather sketchy, GHC had just been orphaned as a package from 'extra', and only half a dozen apps and libs were available in binary form. 20 or so extra Haskell packages were available in AUR. A week later, a lot has happened. We've now completely automated the packaging of Haskell apps and libraries, via a new tool, cabal2arch. http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=17471 which is able to package 90% of the available Haskell software without user intervention. This is the first time this has been done on any distro (Gentoo has similar Haskell package coverage, but it is done manually) This enabled us to create a Haskell overlay repository, of binary packages (x86_64 only): http://code.haskell.org/arch/x86_64 with more than 350 packages. Automatically built. An RSS feed of new things added is also available: http://code.haskell.org/arch/x86_64/haskell.xml Begining with the #arch-haskell IRC channel, we've now got a mailing list and extensive documentation on the wiki. http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Haskell_package_guidelines And the autopackaging has made it possible to migrate more than 300 recipes for building Haskell software into AUR. I think the rapid progress is a testament to the quality packaging infrastructure in Arch. Good work! The next steps are to un-orphan GHC, and the other Haskell things Simo can't work on now, and to then ensure an appropriate core toolset is available in extra. Given we don't have a Haskell-expert dev now, advice on how to proceed here would be welcome. Cheers, Don

[aur-general] orphan request for emacs-{planner,remember}
by Jan Spakula 17 Jun '08

I would like to request orphaning of emacs-planner and emacs-remember. The maintainer does not respond to comments (since Feb 10, 2008), nor to e-mails (sent Jun 2, 2008). There's a problem with the PKGBUILDs - outdated, and unfortunate versioning ("latest" instead of a true version number). Thank you. PS: It seems that I cannot send emails to aur-general from sup without getting this: The reason it is being held: Message has implicit destination

[aur-general] Packages available for adoption
by Eric Belanger 14 Jun '08

14 Jun '08

Hi, I would be willing to give up most of my packages in community/AUR for adoption in order to decrease my workload. Please check the list: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?O=0&L=0&C=0&K=Snowman&SeB=m&PP=100 and let me know if you would like to adopt some of them. Most of them are in the community repo but I would be willing to move them in unsupported if a non-TU is interested in them and if it's not something I use. The following packages are not available because they are pet packages and/or I intend to move them to extra eventually: agave anacron auctex colorgcc comix electricsheep hardinfo kdiff3 keytouch keytouch-editor kftpgrabber krename libqalculate lincity-ng pingus pkgbuild-mode prosper qalculate-gtk qalculate-kde wormux xmms xmms-volnorm xv Thanks, Eric -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

[aur-general] New tool to automate Haskell package creation
by Don Stewart 13 Jun '08

13 Jun '08

Hey all, Just a little announcement. A few of the Haskell fans have formed a little dev group to work on and improve Haskell packages for Arch. To start with there's an IRC channel #arch-haskell @ freenode And the start of a packaging guide for Haskell on the wiki, http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Haskell_package_guidelines And a new tool has been written that automates the process of creating PKGBUILDs from Haskell 'cabal' packages (those on hackage.haskell.org) This has meant we've been able to rapidly ramp up creation of new Haskell packages for Arch. The cabal2arch tool lives here: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=17471 If you work on, or maintain Haskell packages, perhaps drop by the IRC channel, so we can work out the final details for standard Haskell support. Cheers, Don

[aur-general] octave3
by stefan-husmann＠t-online.de 10 Jun '08

10 Jun '08

Hello list members, I would like to ask if there is someone who would like to put the octave3 package to community. There are three main reasons for doing so. - Octave 3 is the stable and development version of octave upstream. - Octave 3 is not just an update of octave 2 but another program: the differences are big and incompatible - it takes long to build, so having a binary version would be nice. Is this the correct place for discussing this, or should I write a feature request? Sincerely Stefan

I thought about adopting some more before putting in my application, however after thinking about it I realized that having a small amount of packages fits my motives well. As a TU my main goal for now is to help lessen the load of the existing TUs. I'm also a x86_64 user and would like to make contributions in that area. And last but not least, as I stated before I would like the opportunity to do my part for a distro I've been using for so long. In regards to a sponsor, I have spoken with a few people on IRC and I've spoken with a few before I applied. Is anyone willing to put themselves on the line? :D Rick -- http://isawsome.net GPG key at http://isawsome.net/blog/static/gpg

Hello all, I'll be away until next week-end. By the same token, I'm happy to tell you that I should soon join the dev team. My job will be mainly to take care of TeXLive packages in extra (and probably some perl packages also). I'll move the outdated and unmaintained tetex to community. I really hope to be able to continue my job as a TU, but only time will tell whether this will be feasible. Cheers, F
