[aur-general] Quality
by Nathan O 24 Aug '10

24 Aug '10

Hey I was wondering if somebody has time to look at my packages and see if they are of quality :) Some I adopted and got to add my name and email as maintainer and update the quality of it. The ones with my name and email are already updated. If you look you may see ndowens04 at gmail dot com or ndowens04+AUR at gmail dot com I may end up adding this email to the packages, I created this email address for AUR purposes so my main email address doesn't get cluttered. Thanks

[aur-general] At last, clean multilib support
by Thomas Bächler 24 Aug '10

24 Aug '10

Jan Steffens and me spent the this weekend putting together a multilib toolchain and a clean lib32-glibc package. I wanted to do this for at least two years, and we finally managed to do it on FrOSCon now. This is the plan of attack on this: * Maintain the PKGBUILDs in svn-community/${pkgname}/trunk/ * Create a separate repo 'multilib', (svn-community/${pkgname}/repos/multilib-x86_64) * Remove ALL multilib packages from community. Do NOT mix pure 64 bit with multilib. All multilib must go into the new multilib repository. * Rebuild all multilib packages with the multilib compiler to solve the numerous problems encountered by the hackish "copy our 32 bit packages into another path" approach. * Find TUs and Devs willing to work on multilib (please add your name to https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Multilib_Project) Any comments are welcome. We will upload the multilib packages and PKGBUILDs into a small test repository in a minute for review.

jdownloader-openjdk (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=35966) is basically a duplicate of the jdownloader package. The only difference is that jdownloader-openjdk has a dependency on openjdk6 and jdownloader on java-runtime (which is better). Lukas

[aur-general] TU application
by Lukáš Jirkovský 24 Aug '10

24 Aug '10

Hello, the discussion about pulling ufoai into [community] made me thing about applying for a TU. Since I've got quite a lot of time recently I finally decided to apply for a TU position which I've been encouraged into several times in the past. My name is Lukas Jirkovsky. I'm from Pilsen, Czech Republic. Currently I'm pursuing my bachelors degree in computer science at the Faculty of Applied Sciences at the University of West Bohemia. I'm using Linux for about six years (I still have the old Mandrake 10.1 CD here). I used Slackware for several years but approximately 3 years ago I moved to Arch Linux which I immediately fell in love with ;-) Currently I maintain 94 packages in AUR. Several packages of mine got it's way into [community] and [extra] too. I can remember ttf-linux-libertine, geeqie, luminance and autopano-sift-c being ones. I'd like to move the klavaro package into community and maybe some other popular packages. I'm also very interested in bringing more graphics software to Arch Linux. Moving ufoai if wanted should be without problems too, I've got a decent connection at home. The last words about my packaging work is that I'm aware that some of my PKGBUILDS still uses contributor instead of maintainer. I'm slowly replacing these packages when a new version comes out or any other update is needed. Now something about my skills. I've a decent knowledge of C and C++ and in my spare time I'm participating in the development of Hugin [1]. I know Java too, but I prefer C++ (templates are just so beautiful). I used to maintain the Arch-graphics repo [2] but since I switched to x86_64 I don't do regular builds (I'd have to rewrite some of the scripts first). I can build for both x86_64 and i686. best regards, Lukas Jirkovsky [1] http://hugin.sourceforge.net/ [2] http://arch-graphics.kx.cz/

[aur-general] openmpi, mpich2: provides 'mpi'
by Marco 24 Aug '10

24 Aug '10

Hi people, should we define a provides=("mpi") or something like that in openmpi and mpich2, and eventually also other possible mpi implementations? That way a number of mpi-dependent packages will be made undependent of the chosen mpi implementation one wants to install. domanov

[aur-general] makechrootpkg
by Nathan O 24 Aug '10

24 Aug '10

Is there a way to make 'makechrootpkg' use clyde so it will install missing dependencies from AUR? I looked at /etc/makepkg.conf /etc/pacman.conf and couldn't find an option. I also looked at the source for makechrootpkg and didn't see anything I could change to make it use clyde instead of pacman. Thanks
