[aur-general] [PRQ#11055] Deletion Request for dnscrypt-proxy-go | [PRQ#11056] Deletion Request for dnscrypt-proxy-go-git
by Jordan Glover 05 Apr '18

05 Apr '18

Can we get more explanation for this? This isn't a version bump. This project was rewritten from scratch, the old sources are gone. The PKGBUILD was written from scratch, packagement solutions were upstreamed[1]. Upstream points specifically to this package[2]. Archlinux repo maintainer wasn't involved at all with those and there is no info if he's interested in maintaining the new v2 version.

Could you review this PKGBUILD? If possible, I'd like to see it on AUR.

[aur-general] packaging error in network manager?
by Tom Zander 19 Mar '18

19 Mar '18

I just updated my machine and rebooted, the network manager failed to get up. Checking the journal logs I get message that /usr/bin/NetworkManager can't read the shared library libpsl.so.6 I only have libpsl.so.5 on my system. Did packaging go wrong somewhere? -- Tom Zander Blog: https://zander.github.io Vlog: https://vimeo.com/channels/tomscryptochannel

[aur-general] TU Application - Robin Broda
by Robin Broda 15 Mar '18

15 Mar '18

Hello, I'm Robin 'coderobe' Broda, born in '99, and I'm writing to become a Trusted User. I've been an Arch user since ~2014, using it on several devices including most of my servers. I'm more or less active on IRC, very interested in open-source development[0], federated networks, & reproducible builds - and would like to increase the amount of reproducible packages in Arch. I maintain a couple of PKGBUILDs in the AUR and I'm looking to adopt more[2]. Eli Schwartz has agreed to sponsor my application. After becoming a TU, I'd like to look into promoting a couple of packages from the AUR over time, including but not limited to `rutorrent`, `psensor`, `glava` (currently `glava-git`, waiting for tagged releases), `gtkhash`, `streem`, & `polybar` - assuming that no issues preventing the packaging (& inclusion in the repos) turn up and the popularity/votes are high enough to warrant inclusion. I would also like to potentially tackle some of the TODOs[1]. As mentioned earlier, I also plan to look into reproducibility issues and improving the infrastructure around reproducible builds (and the verification thereof). I'm available on IRC with the username 'coderobe' (Freenode), on Matrix[3] (@coderobe:cdr.li), and via e-mail - should you have questions about anything. My timezone is UTC+1. Thank you for considering. Regards, Rob [0] https://github.com/coderobe [1] https://www.archlinux.org/todo/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/?O=0&SeB=M&K=coderobe&outdated=&SB=n&SO=… [3] https://matrix.org/

[aur-general] Wrong package version and more wrong attributes displayed
by Sebastian Lau 09 Mar '18

09 Mar '18

Hello, I've updated my package [0][1], but the web form is displaying the update with the old version and old attributes (i.e. I've updated to v2.1.0-1 and it is displayed as a new v2.0.0-2 version, which is a bug in the web UI). [0] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/giteye/ [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/commit/?h=giteye&id=4ee6ae7ad84adaa0… It would be great, if this bug is patched with a future version of AUR. Greetings, Sebastian Lau (nullptr_t)

[aur-general] Go package dependencies
by Adam Levy 04 Mar '18

04 Mar '18

Hi there, I am co-maintaining a few AUR packages written in Golang and I just ran namcap on my built package. I got the following output on a few of my golang packages: $ namcap influxdb-1.4.3-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz influxdb E: Dependency glibc detected and not included (libraries ['usr/lib/libpthread.so.0', 'usr/lib/libc.so.6'] needed in files ['usr/bin/influx_inspect', 'usr/bin/influx_stress', 'usr/bin/influx', 'usr/bin/influx_tsm', 'usr/bin/influxd']) However 'glibc' is in the base group, and I thought that it wasn't necessary to declare dependencies from the base group since it should always be installed on a fresh OS install. Am I wrong about this point? Should I be including 'glibc' as a dependency in this package? Should I be including 'bash' as a dependency in packages with scripts that use bash? Thank you!

Re: [aur-general] [PRQ#10789] Merge Request for remarkable-webkit2gtk
by Mikael Blomstrand 04 Mar '18

04 Mar '18

I just made a merge-request for a package I maintain. But I'm curious about what this actually means in practice when it's merged. Will current users be notified in some way? Will they be redirected to the new package? Or is it just about the votes? If users are not notified, is there a smart way to make them move to the new package before deleting? --- Micke On Sat, Mar 03, 2018 at 11:03:03PM +0000, notify(a)aur.archlinux.org wrote: > chawlindel [1] filed a request to merge remarkable-webkit2gtk [2] into > remarkable [3]: > > I'm maintainer of both packages.

[aur-general] Qutebrowser update
by Pierre Neidhardt 02 Mar '18

02 Mar '18

Qutebrowser 1.1.2 is out: https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser/releases. I'm the current PKGBUILD maintainer but I won't have access to an Arch Linux system before a while, so if anybody wants to update it for me, go ahead, that'd be very nice! Cheers! -- Pierre Neidhardt

[aur-general] TU (re-)Application
by Brad Fanella 28 Feb '18

28 Feb '18

Hi all, Perhaps this is a bit unorthodox, but in 2011 I resigned from my post as a TU for personal and time-related reasons [1]. Coming up on almost 7 years later, I'm still an avid Arch user, and have struck a balance in my life where I'm much more capable of contributing to open-source projects than I was back then. The warm regards and well-wishes from my fellow TUs at the time [2][3] have left an extremely positive impression on me, and I find myself once again wanting to pick up some orphaned packages in [community] (surprisingly, the MATE desktop is homeless). Therefore, I'm writing this message to see if there's any interest in getting another helping hand around here. Sincerely, Brad Fanella [1] https://www.mail-archive.com/aur-general@archlinux.org/msg14906.htm l [2] https://www.mail-archive.com/aur-general@archlinux.org/msg14915.htm l [3] https://www.mail-archive.com/aur-general@archlinux.org/msg14920.htm l
