[aur-general] question on devtools / aurtools
by Firmicus 13 Mar '08

13 Mar '08

Just a quick question relating to devtools and aurtools. pacman / makepkg now support arch=any, but AFAICS the current version of extrapkg (to which communitypkg is a symlink) does not support uploading packages built with $CARCH="any"... Is this likely to change soon? François

[aur-general] some jokers spuriously flagging out-of-date?
by Firmicus 10 Mar '08

10 Mar '08

In recent weeks I've had too many cases of up-to-date packages being flagged out-of-date by some jokers. I find this annoying. Did some of you experience that too? I hope this is not done out of malevolence, but I would urge users to PLEASE check twice before flagging out-of-date! Thanks F

[aur-general] lzma
by Firmicus 10 Mar '08

10 Mar '08

Hi everyone, The TeXLive project is considering using the lzma format instead of bz2 for its next release, and I wondered whether it is supported by makepkg. It is not, as I expected. But to my suprise, there is not even a PKGBUILD for it in AUR/unsupported! I have thus just uploaded lzma-utils to [community]. In case some of you are interested, it is said to achieve 15% better compression rates than bzip2 while being 2 to 5 times faster. And decompression is nearly as fast as gunzip (see http://tukaani.org/lzma/) Regards, François PS: A quick question: I have built a x86_64 package on Aaron's machine. What should I do to upload and commit it to the repo? Just "communitypkg" ?

[aur-general] Can it be done?
by Collin 29 Feb '08

29 Feb '08

NOTE: This is my first actual fresh pkgbuild. What a way to start! I've been looking into creating a package for FreePBX. However, I'm now wondering if it can be done with the pkgbuild system. The problem is that FreePBX wants a # of changes to a variety of packages (namely, mysql, apache, and php) and it wants to check to see that those changes are done before it installs. For instance, it wants mysql to already have a user account and PW for it as well as tables setup, etc. It seems like it might be difficult to make a package first add a bunch of system changes and then install the files. Is this possible to do? I'm thinking that my only hope would be to patch the FreePBX installer so that it no longer checks and instead make all of the necessary changes in an .install file which would run after the package is installed, correct? It would have been helpful if there was much of any documentation on how to go about building packages. But, I can't seem to find much of anything concrete.

[aur-general] little AUR glitches
by Firmicus 28 Feb '08

28 Feb '08

On the main page of AUR, my statistics indicate that I have one package flagged out-of-date, but I have looked at the list of my packages and I simply cannot find it. Could someone check this please? thanks! Oh, and one more thing: on the packages page, when I select "Location=community", "Per page = 100" and click on "Orphans", I see items 1 to 100 of a list of 109. But clicking the link "More" at the bottom right does not bring one to the next page with items 101 to 109: instead I get the same first page. F

Sometimes I think so. The message is (unflagged out of date) (added to notify list) And it seems that the comment I give with the aurup command does not find its way to the AUR. Stefan

one place that is mounted and writable at the time udev is started is / dev. rc.sysinit: (generate blacklist) printf "BLACKLIST=\"$BLACKLIST\"\n MOD_AUTOLOAD=\"$MOD_AUTOLOAD\"\n" > /dev/.blacklist (start udevd) load-modules.sh: . /dev/.blacklist I haven't had the chance to play with the testing packages, but this setup seemed to work ok when i was playing with it. random idea: >From what I've read, it seems one can mount a ramfs under /etc/udev/ rules.d/, add a bunch of udev rules there, and dispense with load- modules.sh altogether. if this works udev should be able to start lickety-split. But I'm not sure what all to use for rules. or if it works at all

[aur-general] TU Voting On The AUR
by Callan Barrett 22 Feb '08

22 Feb '08

See here if you're logged in as a TU: http://aur.archlinux.org/tu.php Alright, I know I'm not a TU anymore but this is pretty important, this is the new interface for voting for stuff as TUs which automates the process somewhat and pretties it up a bit. You might have seen the thread about two months ago about this and some screenshots which are basically the same as it is now, I put this together because of how disorganized the voting process currently is and how hard it is to check up on who voted or not. With this system it would become harder to miss votes (there's nothing like email notification but that's no trouble to add) and incredibly simple to find who has voted recently and who hasn't, your vote isn't actually recorded, only the fact that you did vote which also makes it basically anonymous as opposed to the public voting on the ML. So the whole thing is there ready for use and now it's just a matter of if you want to use it or not. Maybe you want to vote on it or just switch or whatever you like. If you do decide to keep it and use it I can add whatever is required to make the application more user friendly like email notification and some sort of stats page (right now there's no front-end to tell who voted or not which needs to be added soon) and so on. Although it's pretty trivial to remove the new voting system I think this interface is only improving on what was a fairly messy and flawed voting system previously. Again, this is pretty important and I'd like input from as many people as possible. -- Callan 'wizzomafizzo' Barrett

[aur-general] [REMOVAL: DISCUSSION PERIOD] filoktetes
by Ronald van Haren 21 Feb '08

21 Feb '08

Hi all, As stated by the bylaws, a removal thread due to unwarranted and undeclared inactivity is automatically triggered after missing at least three consecutive voting procedures. Filoketes has missed the last 4 voting procedures, does not respond, and never declared himself inactive. The relevant part of the bylaws: active TUs that keep quorum from being established on a voting procedure for three consecutive voting procedures (they need not be on the same motion) are automatically brought up for removal procedure, by reason of unwarranted inactivity. There is one special case for removal, removal due to unwarranted and undeclared inactivity, for which standard voting procedure deviates from the above. This motion is also automatically triggered by repeated quorum offenses, as described in the Quorum subsection of this document. For this special case, SVP is followed with a discussion period of three days, a quorum of 66%, and a voting period of 5 days. SVP( inactivity_removal_of_TU, 3, 0.66, 5 ); I already opened a couple of threads before, the last one of them gives a good overview of the situation: We already had an unofficial 'discussion' in this thread: http://archlinux.org/pipermail/aur-general/2008-February/006988.html I'm feeling sorry for having to do this, but this mail starts the 3 days discussion period. Ronald
