[aur-general] Removal request: python-sfml2
by thomas.glamsch＠gmail.com 04 Mar '13

I suggest removing the following packages, because they are orphans and their upstream url [1] is dead: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python-sfml2/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python-sfml2-git/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python2-sfml2/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python2-sfml2-git/ [1]: http://openhelbreath.net/python-sfml2/

The important lines are 97-117 that specify the "PackageComments" table: CREATE TABLE `PackageComments` ( `ID` bigint(20) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, `PackageID` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL DEFAULT '0', `UsersID` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL DEFAULT '0', `Comments` text NOT NULL, `CommentTS` bigint(20) unsigned NOT NULL DEFAULT '0', `DelUsersID` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL DEFAULT '0', PRIMARY KEY (`ID`), KEY `UsersID` (`UsersID`), KEY `PackageID` (`PackageID`), KEY `DelUsersID` (`DelUsersID`) ) ENGINE=MyISAM AUTO_INCREMENT=154508 DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1; /*!40101 SET character_set_client = @saved_cs_client */; -- -- Dumping data for table `PackageComments` -- LOCK TABLES `PackageComments` WRITE; /*!40000 ALTER TABLE `PackageComments` DISABLE KEYS */; ID is a number identifying the comment, PackageID is the package to which it belongs, UsersID is the one who posted it, Comments is the actual text of it, CommentTS is the timestamp of when it was posted, DelUsersID is equal to the ID of the user who deleted the comment and 0 if it has not been deleted. The next important lines are 118-146 which state the actual comment data. An example of it is: INSERT INTO `PackageComments` VALUES (17,46,68,'ruby bindings for fastcgi',1113164127,68),(28,69,65,'A countdown timer applet for the GNOME panel.',1113178883,0); Except that line there is 161 characters and contains two comments (one comment deleted by its poster about Ruby and one non-deleted comment about GNOME). The line in the real file is a million characters and contains ~20k comments. And there are 28 such lines. Reading this would be like reading War And Peace 10 times but it would teach you a lot about the history of the AUR.

[aur-general] aurtomatic: new python3-aur script
by Xyne 03 Mar '13

03 Mar '13

Hi, Some of you may be interested in the new "aurtomatic" script included in python3-aur [1]. You can use it to do the following from the command line: * comment * vote * unvote * notify * unnotify * flag * unflag The functionality is in the AUR.Aurploader module. There is support there for other interactions if anyone wants to add them before I get around to it. @TUs I expect to eventually get around to adding support for TU actions (internal votes, changing account fields, etc.) It's far down on my todo list but feel free to express interest if you want to bump it up (or submit code). I would probably create a separate front-end for it to avoid user confusion (auTUmatic?). Regards, Xyne [1] http://localhost:8000/projects/python3-aur/

[aur-general] Easy way to find out package dependencies
by oliver 03 Mar '13

03 Mar '13

Hello, is there an easy way to find out, which package dependencies a package has? Say, i want to write the PKGBUILD for a package, and the compilation on my system (.7configure/cmake and make) does work without problems. Then I don't get a message about missing libraries. So, it's easy to compile the stuff, but needs some effort to find out the dependencies. Possibly with ldd the linked stuff can be found out, but the library names not necessarily are the same as the names of the package that provide these libraries. So, it may need some effort to find out the packages. Is there an easy way to find out the package names? Maybe someone already has written a script that reverse-lookups the package names from ldd-output? Any ideas on that? Ciao, Oliver

[aur-general] Remove request for stepmania-svn
by Michael Kogan 03 Mar '13

03 Mar '13

Hello, list! I'm the current maintainer of stepmania-svn ( https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/stepmania-svn/) which builds the SVN version of the old Stepmania 4 branch. Since there already exist packages for the HG version of Stepmania 5 ( https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/sm-ssc-hg) as well as for the last beta version of Stepmania 4 (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/stepmania-beta) I think, there is no need for stepmania-svn any more. Also, currently the package doesn't build due to a compilation error of an old ffmpeg revision which is so old that I wouldn't really want to investigate the issue. Thanks, Michael

[aur-general] Putting bumblebee and friends into [community]
by Sven-Hendrik Haase 03 Mar '13

03 Mar '13

Hi, I'd like to gather some opinions on this. I was thinking about putting bumblebee, primus and bbswitch into [community] as it doesn't look as though nvidia is going to fix this properly in their driver any time soon. I know about the GPL symbol drama and the supposed fix that is in mainline now but how long until nvidia releases a working driver that makes use of all that? Until then, I think bumblebee is an ok fix. For laptops with optimus, bumblebee is pretty much a necessity if you want any kind of battery life and acceptable sound levels. I have a laptop with optimus and use bumblebee all the time and I think it would make sense to have it in [community]. The sad fact is that bumblebee is currently the only working solution for optimus. Normally I wouldn't ask the mailing list for something mundane as moving packages but as bbswitch is a kernel module and as bumblebee is not very highly regarded as a good solution even by its developers, I thought it'd make sense to ask here first before people got angry.
