[aur-general] Python packaging newbie
by Fabien Devaux 23 Aug '11

23 Aug '11

Hi! I'm new to arch & his packaging techniques and I have some questions on how things should be for python2/3 and build() vs package() things as well... Is this the good place to ask ? Thanks, Fabien Devaux.

[aur-general] Merge of virtualbox_bin into virtualbox-bin
by Seblu 22 Aug '11

22 Aug '11

Hello, Can you merge virtualbox_bin into virtualbox-bin ? The reason are those requested by josephgbr in https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=9753 <quote> The reason I'm asking this is that every time I update my packages with "yaourt -Syua", the package "virtualbox-ext-oracle" is listed first than this package ('-' come first than '_') and I always have to reinstall again after virtualbox_bin in order to work. Thanks in advance. </quote> Regards, -- Sébastien Luttringer www.seblu.net

[aur-general] Disown request
by rafael ff1 22 Aug '11

22 Aug '11

The packages lib32-libsexy [1] and lib32-libsexymm [2] have PKGBUILD set to build from binary and install libs in the invalid directory '/opt/lib32/usr/lib'. I asked the maintainer to fix it more than 2 weeks ago and got no reply. When I sent an email to the address informed in AUR (tried also ".org", got "no such user"), but it doesn't exist, as you can see below. Please disown this package, so I can fix them.

[aur-general] Package merge request: kernel26/linux-ice and kernel26/linux-rt-ice
by Oon-Ee Ng 22 Aug '11

22 Aug '11

Hi, please remove kernel26-ice [1] and merge comments/votes with linux-ice [2]. Also, I would prefer that kernel26-rt-ice [3] be removed and comments/votes merged with linux-rt-ice [4]. The slight problem with that is that nvidia proprietary driver users will not be able to use linux-rt-ice, since the latest editions of the -rt patchset export several symbols as GPL which disallow compilation of the nvidia driver. Re-exporting (or modifying the nvidia license) with a patch is simple but not permitted under the terms of the GPL (as I understand it). In any case, this will not be resolved by the passage of time, so users will just have to use nouveau or patch themselves.

[aur-general] OK! changing a PKG's name and retaining votes/comments
by member graysky 21 Aug '11

21 Aug '11

I started a thread with same subject less the "OK! " back in May and am glad to see people saw some value in it to the point of modifying the AUR! Since the next version of the linux kernel is now released and likely soon to enter [testing] under a new name, I need to use this new feature to change the name of "kernel26-ck" in the AUR to "whatever-tpowa-uses-ck" -- at the risk of exposing my naiveté on the subject, I'll ask: 1) What is the SOP for people to request a namechange? 2) What is critically important to include the PKGBUILD? My best-guess answers: 1) Upload the new PKGNAME as a new package and email a TU with the old/new name or post to this mailing list. 2) Include a replaces statement in the PKGBUILD. E.g. replaces=('old_PKG_name'). Thanks for the thoughts!
