[aur-general] List of packages with no license information in core, extra and community
by Ronald van Haren 26 Mar '08

26 Mar '08

Hi all, I just came across some package in extra and noticed it had no license information at all in the PKGBUILD (though the package is not even gpl). So I got the idea of checking if more packages had this problem and came up with a list of the core, extra and community repositories (it should be easy to run the script for unstable and testing too if required). Please all take a look at the list and fix the packages. It really are too much packages without license information! Respective bug reports can be found for core & extra: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/9971 community: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/9970 I also attached the lists to this mail. Regards, Ronald

[aur-general] perl 5.10 is there
by Firmicus 25 Mar '08

25 Mar '08

*Perl 5.10 is now in core.* I have started my perl commit/upload orgy... Sergej, please upload perl-libxml, perl-libxml-common, perl-net-dbus and perl-xml-rss as priority, because until it is done, all pkgs that depend on them (I have some) will be non-functional! Since I have built them for both architectures anyway, I could take care of them, if you want. Best, F

[aur-general] Problems uploading i686 packages to community?
by Allan McRae 23 Mar '08

23 Mar '08

I am having trouble getting a package into i686 community. I have used communitypkg to upload teeworlds twice and it does not appear in AUR. The x86_64 version uploaded without a problem. Looking at the pkg_diff page (http://dev.archlinux.org/~andyrtr/pkg_diff.html) the last four packages are uploaded to x86_64 only, although from web cvs the latest versions all appear tagged for CURRENT. It could be a coincidence though... Am I missing something? Thanks, Allan

[aur-general] Why /etc/issue starts with invisible chars?
by Lyman 22 Mar '08

22 Mar '08

Hi, all I found this issue when I was trying Sysmonitor in the package screenlets because Sysmonitor can not show my distribution name correctly. At the beginning I thought that it was a bug of screenlets, however, when I dug into its source code, I realized that it could be a "bug" introduced by Archlinux because the /etc/issue starts with some invisible chars. Here's the hexdump of /etc/issue in Archlinux. It is obviously that the first line in this file is not the distribution name. 00000000 1b 5b 48 1b 5b 32 4a 0a 41 72 63 68 20 4c 69 6e |.[H.[2J.Arch Lin| 00000010 75 78 20 28 43 6f 72 65 20 44 75 6d 70 29 20 20 |ux (Core Dump) | 00000020 5c 72 20 20 28 5c 6e 29 20 28 5c 6c 29 0a 0a |\r (\n) (\l)..| I've checked other two distribution, CentOS and Ubuntu (that's all I have at the moment), both of them presents the their name in the first line. I guess most of the applications just use the first line in /etc/issue as distribution name (so do screenlets). I think Archlinux should comply with "Rule of Least Surprise" on this issue. If the invisible chars are just for clearing screen, we can do that from the second line. lyman

[aur-general] MythTV & Extras
by Travis Willard 20 Mar '08

20 Mar '08

Hi everrrrrrybooooooooody! (Hi Dr. Nick!) Is anyone out there in dev-land interested in MythTV setups? I've got a ton of MythTV packages I'm maintaining (plugins and themes) that are kind of legacy from my TU days, which I brought into community with a ton of votes and eventually came to Extra when I became a dev. I don't use Myth, and can't really test any of these packages - basically I'm looking for someone who's actually interested in Myth to take them on. Paul has said he's looking at dropping the actual MythTV package, so if anyone out there is interested, taking the whole set (Myth + Plugins + Themes) would probably be easiest, since they all kind of update in unison. I'm cc-ing this message to aur-general too, because if no dev is interested, then perhaps a TU would be keen on keeping them in community. They seem to be a decently popular set of packages, so I'd love it if someone could pick them up. Thanks! -- Travis

[aur-general] perl 5.10.0 coming soon
by Firmicus 19 Mar '08

19 Mar '08

Hello all, this message is primarily adressed at the few TUs who maintain perl packages in community (namely Sergej, Allan and bardo), but should also be read by everyone else contributing perl packages to AUR as well. perl 5.10.0 – currently in testing – will soon be moved to core. Since this release implements a new "Perl Policy", there are some important changes in packaging that should be noted. Also, all packages that provide compiled libraries or that embed their own perl engine must be recompiled. Even better is to update ALL perl packages according to the new path scheme. See http://ankabut.net/archlinux/perlcommunity/PKGBUILD-perl.proto for the new and simpler way to package perl stuff. Since I had to do the job for my packages anyway, it was equally easy for me to update all PKGBUILDs at once. So Sergej, Allan and bardo can grab their new PKGBUILDs from http://ankabut.net/archlinux/perlcommunity/sergej.zip http://ankabut.net/archlinux/perlcommunity/allan.zip http://ankabut.net/archlinux/perlcommunity/bardo.zip Note that these contain only the packages in lib. There are a few more that I have not touched: devel/svk devel/perl6-pugs games/hearse multimedia/freewrl multimedia/xmltv network/pppusage These are left as an exercise to their respective maintainers ;) Be sure to backup your old PKGBUILDs and to check carefully those I made (especially the depends array). Kevin – the perl maintainer – is going to notify us when he moves perl from testing to core. Then we should get busy building the packages and uploading them to the repo :) Have fun, Firmicus

[aur-general] architecture independent packages

For an architecture independent package, is it sufficient to build the package once, rename it appropriately and upload? Or should it be built on both 32 and 64 bit? -- Abhishek.

[aur-general] List of comminity64 failures?
by Allan McRae 18 Mar '08

18 Mar '08

Is there a list of packages that can not be put in community64 due to build failures/binary package etc? I had a look through the wiki and found http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch64_ToDoS which has no community info. Looking at the pkg diff page (http://dev.archlinux.org/~andyrtr/pkg_diff.html) there are ~60 packages in i686 community but not in x86_64 community. There is only 1 in x86_64 but not in i686 which is not a lib32 package. I'm going to spend some time shortening this list but I'm sure some of these are legitimately only i686. As an aside, something is wrong with the matching in the pkg_diff page. Some packages appear twice in the list, once with a missing i686 version and once with a missing x86_64 version. I think this is when the is a major version difference between the platforms. e.g. gambas2 & yaz. Cheers, Allan

[aur-general] Flagging out-of-date in AUR
by stefan-husmann＠t-online.de 17 Mar '08

17 Mar '08

Hello, some weeks ago Firmicus complained on this list that some of his packages are flagged out of date in AUR. Now I see one of gummibaerchens packages netbeans 6.01 flagged out of date. It is definitely not out of date, as he put it in AUR today. I suspect myself to be the one who is responsible for the issues Firmicus described. But if so, I did so accidentely, because I sometimes saw newly uploaded packages flagged out of date and unflagged them because they were not. Perhaps there is a caching problem? I use kazehakase 0.53 for browsing. Sorry for any inconvenience if I actually am the "evil". Stefan

Yes, I think if every package has a maintainer and the builders defined things go much faster than waiting and checking the pkg_diff everytime. Also people better know _what_ they 'have to do' instead of sitting in front of pkg_diff and waiting for a package they can actually build. For example Bjørn and me share packages, as he has 32bit and I have 64bit. This way we just give each other a ping whenever we upload a new package, and in general the other built is uploaded just a few minutes later :) IMHO the way it should be.

[aur-general] compiz-fusion?
by Thomas Bächler 15 Mar '08

15 Mar '08

I saw that compiz and compiz-fusion have been updated for i686. However, for x86_64 only compiz has been updated, not fusion. That makes compiz incompatible to the fusion packages and essentially breaks it. Could whoever built the compiz packages on x86_64 please also build the fusion packages? Or anyone else?

[aur-general] ufoai: separate packages or one big?
by Lukáš Jirkovský 14 Mar '08

14 Mar '08

Hi, I've problem with deciding if it's better to have this great game splitted into two separate packages: package with data and package with game engine or if I should make one big package including both game data and engine. Now I'm maintaining it in two separate packages, but I still have problems with dependencies. Some users wrote me that it would be better to have data dependent on engine and some think exactly the opossite. How should I treat it? Thanks for any suggestion, Lukas "6xx" Jirkovsky
