[aur-general] amarok2 beta packages doubles
by Christian Scharkus 27 Nov '08

27 Nov '08

Hi I just looked for some package containing the latest beta of the amarok music player but there are two packages containing beta3 (amarok2 and amarok-beta3). May the question is childish but: why two packages with the very same content? It just puzzles beginners. Ofcause for archivement are packages like amarok-beta2 and amarok-beta3 useful but only few users use old beta-software and it messes arround in AUR in my eyes. Greetings Raubkopierer

Hi there, I'm the maintainer of neither, but I reckon that these two are duplicate packages: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=19155 http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=20013 Should one be deleted? Thanks! Pete.

[aur-general] Mozilla Firefox doesn't update because of xulrunner
by Martin 23 Nov '08

23 Nov '08

Hello all. If I try to upgrade Mozilla Firefox it doesn't work. :: Starting full system upgrade... resolving dependencies... error: cannot resolve "xulrunner=1.9.0.4", a dependency of "firefox" error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies) :: firefox: requires xulrunner=1.9.0.4 I tried to get xulrunner in AUR but it wasn't there, too. I thought this could be a good hint for you. I want to excuse my english, I'm no native speaker and new to Linux. Greetings, Martin

[aur-general] How to make CVS work again
by Simo Leone 21 Nov '08

21 Nov '08

Hey guys, During the server changes today, the path to the community CVS tree changed. In order to make your existing checkouts work again, please run the following at the root of your CVS checkout: find . -path '*CVS/Root' -exec sed -i 's#/home/cvs-community#/srv/cvs/cvs-community#g' {} ';' CVS will ask you to re-login if you had your credentials saved, due to the change in path. In addition, CVS may not be available until tomorrow morning due to permissions issues with the CVS lock directory, as soon as someone with sudo wakes up, this should be fixed. -S PS: There is a whole slew of documentation about the AUR that now needs updating for the new path, anyone that wants to tackle this gets a hundred gold stars and a bunch of thank-you's.

[aur-general] Eclipse plugin packaging standardization proposal
by bardo 19 Nov '08

19 Nov '08

Hi all. Maintaining a few Eclipse plugins in [community] I stumbled in a lot of difficulties while packaging them. I then decided to create a PKGBUILD prototype for these package and propose it as a packaging standard. I'd like to have some input from the community, TUs and devs about this. If the response is positive I'll wikify the whole thing and make it available to everyone. You can find the prototype here[1], along with the explanation of how it works and why. Thanks, Corrado [1] http://blog.bardland.org/2008/11/20/arch-linux-eclipse-plug-in-packaging-a-…
