Hi speps, I judged that the typical person using this software would prefer to use the vcs version. I don't mind if the stable packages are not deleted but don't want to confuse people and want to make it easy for them to install the currently maintained -bzr versions. > You mentioned there are some issues with building the stable release of dolfin, > well probably someone else could take care of them and fix em. > Having a quick look at your pastebin (in a dolfin comment), seems like it is > a gcc 4.7 issue.

The effort you have made is admired and appreciated. > Now, your choice. If you mind, you may re-adopt those packages by applying the > patch. Otherwise, just do not care about em. I'll stick to the vcs versions just because I don't have time to maintain two sets. If someone does adopt the stable ones then we can collaborate. There is a difficulty with keeping the stable versions though; How do I make it easy for users to build and install the set of -bzr packages, rather than a mixture of -bzr and stable ones? There are two issues. 1) the groups() variable is not used: I envisioned being able to make use of the groups() variable by having groups=('fenics-bzr') in all the -bzr PKGBUILDs and doing something similar to: $ pacman -S fenics-bzr or, for stable versions: $ pacman -S fenics which works for packages controlled by pacman (and this is how I use it, via local repos) but not for the AUR because the groups() thing isn't accessible to AUR clients [fn:1]. 2) the AUR client I use (cower) doesn't recognise dependencies are satisfied on with the same action The way things are now, in (e.g) ffc-bzr PKGBUILD there is: depends=(... 'ufl' ...) and in ufl-bzr : provides=('ufl') conflicts=('ufl') so that if the user wants the stable versions of most of the fenics packages but the vcs version of ufl, then they can install it and still satisfy the dependencies. However if I try: $ cower -dd fiat-bzr ufc-bzr ufl-bzr ffc-bzr it will download the stable PKGBUILDs for ufc and ufl to satisfy the dependency in ffc-bzr, but I wanted the the -bzr versions. I have raised on Issue on cower's github [fn:2]. I am new to this list and maybe you have already discussed making groups() accessible to AUR clients. Perhaps an alternative AUR client is better at calculating dependencies. Am I doing it wrong? > [1] https://bugs.launchpad.net/dolfin/+bug/999025 > [2] http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~dolfin-core/dolfin/trunk/diff/6663 > Cheers > - speps - Thanks, Myles Footnotes: [fn:1] https://github.com/falconindy/cower/issues/36 [fn:2] https://github.com/falconindy/cower/issues/35

[aur-general] AUR KDE clean up – part 1
by Jesse Juhani Jaara 19 May '12

19 May '12

Please remove the following KDE releted packages: With the 'low vote count' I want to say that I see it to be quite unlikely for it to be adopted and fixed. If it is neede someone can reupload a working/modern PKGBUILD [1]aku: orphan, low vote count, the offical ark utitlity can handle rar files too [2]amarok-devel: No beta version at the moment, amarok-git exist and can pull the "beta" version too. [3]apollon: orphan, lov vote count, needs qt<=3.2 (3.3.8b in repos) [4]avant-window-navigator-kde: orpha, low vote count, patch included in bzr for over a year alredy. [5]backintime-kde4-bzr: Another package (backintime-bzr) exist with better name and maintainer. [6]bookreader: website is empty, source not working, orphan, low vote count. [7]battery_time_remaining: old fork of the offical applet, which privides the same functionlaity. [8]bible-runner: orhan, low vote count, dead for over 2½ years. PKGBUILD does no't build in it's current state (Might be just depends clean up, but due to the low vote count I dont see this happening) [9]boombox: orpahn, marked out-of-date since aprill 2011, several comments since then, but no adoption has happened. Altaought, I didn't find the version 0.4 from sf.net [10]aqpm-git: dead, uesdeprecated ALPM API according to comments. [11]chase-git: depeneds on [10] [12]shaman-svn: depends on [10] [13]colorschemes-kde4: packs the 20 most popular colorschemes from 2009, orphan, can be fecthed from the KDE settings interface. [14]flickrkio: Source not avaiale anymore, orphan, only one vote [15]gartoon: orphan, low vote count, source not awaiable anymore [16]gtk-kde42-oxygen-theme: oxygen-gtk{2,3} in extra repository provides te same functionality, I'm quite sure nobody uses kde 4.2 anymore :D [17]kbibtex-kde4-beta: Old beta version of the KDE4 port [18]kcheckgmail-git: Some old mailchecker applet, never applets exist. Chromium claims the projects sf page is infected with viruses. [19]kdeaddons-kfile-plugins: orphan, PKGBUILD depends on kdelibs instead of kdelibs3, low vote count. [20]de4powersave-svn: I think this has been renamed to something totally else, anmyway it is not in kdesvn-playground anymore [21]kdecolors-megapack: ~[13], but for KDE3 [22]kdecolors-ultraschemes: -||- [23]kdecolorschemes: -||- [24]kdeplasma-addons-applets-smooth-tasks-kde-sc-46-hg: kde4.6 app [25]kdeplasma-addons-wallpapers-video: Doesn't build anymore [26]kdeplasma-applets-battery-ng: Old clone of stock battery meter [27]kdescreensaver-solarsystem-0.2: qrong name, nothing to merge --------------------------------------------------------------------- [1]https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=19071 [2]https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=47759 [3]https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=41139 [4]https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=45593 [5]https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=30941 [6]https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=11600 [7]https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=38228 [8]https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=31075 [9]https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=3880 [10]https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=40830 [11]https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=29567 [12]https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=40831 [13]https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=26911 [14]https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=40028 [15]https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=1199 [16]https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=24329 [17]https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=52503 [18]https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=26944 [19]https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=5440 [20]https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=19050 [21]https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=14666 [22]https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=16289 [23]https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=4347 [24]https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=45849 [25]https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=50401 [26]https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=34319 [27]https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=44782 More to come :DDD, in general KDE stuff seems to be in quite good state, atleast from a quick look, maintainers exist and not so much out-of-date stuff.
