[aur-general] Partially Inactive again

Hi guys, Since I am moving and I was doing my builds on my office through pkgbuild.com server (which is down from far 2 weeks) I've tried to do the rebuilds at my new home and my 3g phone connection. Of course, hdspa have their limitants and I can't upload or download quick or without issues in most of cases. I am getting a new connection from home, but they will install it until end of this September :/. So if pkgbuild.com server came back, I will update of course from home, but from now, I am needing some help, please feel free to update packages that I maintain and rebuilt them, I have some of them rebuilt, but I cannot upload them because of this network issue. -- Angel Velásquez angvp @ irc.freenode.net Arch Linux Developer / Trusted User Linux Counter: #359909 http://www.angvp.com

[aur-general] mail-notification

gnome-mail-notification http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=32363 seems to be the same as mail-notification http://repos.archlinux.org/wsvn/packages/mail-notification/trunk/ the only difference I noticed is that it doesn't have patches included in the official repo, doesn't seem to enable/disable any options. Thanks

[aur-general] what is the best way to resolve conflicting files in aur packages?
by Alex Combas 09 Sep '10

09 Sep '10

What is the best way to resolve conflicting files in aur packages? I've run into this issue a couple times recently, first of all with "panda3d-cvs" and "cuda-toolkit" both contained the file /usr/bin/bin2c The result was the panda3d-cvs maintainer just removed the file since he said it wasn't doing anything anyway. Now I've run into a similar problem but this time the maintainer fixed it a different way and it broke my package. opencl-headers http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=35367 has 3 files which are also provided by nvidia-utils So now to fix it the maintainer of opencl-headers has added conflicts=(nvidia-utils) to his package. But my problem is that I recently made a package (luxrays-hg) which depends=('nvidia-utils') and also makedepends=('opencl-headers') So my package (luxrays-hg) will no longer install because 2 of its decencies (opencl-headers & nvidia-utils) are in conflict. So what is the best practice in this situation? -- Best regards, Alex Combas goplexian.com

[aur-general] multilib
by Nathan O 07 Sep '10

07 Sep '10

I installed the x86_64 version of Arch, and I was looking at the wiki on running 32-bit apps in a 64-bit environment which seems what the multilib project/repo does. Though If I try and do pacman -S gcc-multilib gcc-libs-multilib binutils-multilib libtool-multilib lib32-glibc. Pacman gives me that binutils and binutils-multilib conflict. Do I let multilib's version replace it? Mainly I want to build i686/x86_64 packages and make sure they work fine on both architectures as well, maybe with running a few 32-bit only applications if I come across them. Thanks

[aur-general] rabbitmq

Hello, the package rabbitmq is quite old in AUR. The current Maintainer p2k does not answer on mails or comments. I have an up2date rabbitmq PKGBUILD here with some fixes (rabbitmq as system user instead of a normal user). Can i become maintainer permissions on this package?

[aur-general] Inactivity
by Jan Steffens 07 Sep '10

I lost all the data on my laptop to an unclean shutdown yesterday. I'm afraid I can't maintain my packages until I've completed recovering what I can (if anything) and I'm done setting up a new system.

[aur-general] Please delete line6usb
by Emmanuel Gras 07 Sep '10

Please delete line6usb (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=15333) since it's now in the mainstream kernel (/lib/modules/2.6.35-ARCH/kernel/drivers/staging/line6/line6usb.ko). I created a PKGBUILD for the svn version of the driver (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=40604) Cheers, Emman

[aur-general] Question about patches in [community]
by Brad Fanella 07 Sep '10

07 Sep '10

Hi everyone, I have a few popular packages I would be interested in moving to and maintaining in [community]. However, I recall reading somewhere that AUR software that includes a patch is typically not accepted in community until the upstream developers fix/merge the patches into the software and release it. Is this correct, or am I being misled? Thanks, Brad
