[aur-general] TU application for Eli Schwartz
by Eli Schwartz 26 Dec '17

26 Dec '17

Hello, all. :) My name is Eli Schwartz, better known as eschwartz on the forums[1], AUR[2], bugtracker[3], wiki[4] general mailing lists, IRC, and generally everywhere I can stick my nose in. With the aid of Bartłomiej Piotrowski, I am applying today to become a TU. I'm 24 years old, and currently studying Computer Science in the United States. I've been interested in Linux ever since I was first introduced to it in high school, when I asked "what would be the best Linux distro to install if I really want to learn how things work", and I was recommended to try out Arch Linux. It's a choice I haven't regretted since! Outside of Linux my main hobby is books/ebooks (primarily SF&F of all sorts). I have leveraged this nicely to feed back into software which deals with ebooks. :) ... I've now been an active member of the Arch Linux community for approximately 3.5 years, and in that time I've become a member of the Arch Bug Wranglers team, given an Arch Classroom tutorial[5], contributed a few small patches to various Arch projects, mainly pacman[6], and generally hung out on the forums and in IRC, trying to be helpful. Recently I've been doing a bit of general helping out in #archlinux-reproducible[7] as well. I've always been especially interested in packaging for Arch Linux, and have reviewed many PKGBUILDs on this mailing list as well as in the AUR Issues, Discussion & PKGBUILD Requests subforum and in #archlinux-aur, written a popular script for maintaining AUR packages[8], and featured the topic of packaging for Arch Linux in the above-mentioned Arch Classroom tutorial. I anticipate doing all^W^W^Wmost of this in a somewhat more formal role. :) I would like to become a TU in order to contribute more to Arch Linux in general (because it would be a shame to miss out on one particular angle I guess). It would also give me more scope to help fix simple packaging bugs that come up on the bugtracker, help resolve some policy TODOs[9], fix packages which no longer build due to e.g. missing sources (many such packages have been discovered in part due to the valiant efforts of Reproducible Arch Linux and Arch Linux 32), and of course to bring some packages to [community] that I feel would do well there. If given the opportunity, I would consider bringing the following packages to community: - firefox-extension-https-everywhere (I conmaintain this) - fanficfare (I maintain this) - git-crypt - advancecomp - llpp - wikicurses - ghi - dtrx - checkbashisms I would adopt the cinnamon desktop packages, as faidoc is not very active currently and arojas, who currently builds them, says he'd prefer someone who actually uses it to do so. I've also received permission to comaintain sigil and qbittorrent, as well as calibre and its dependencies (I maintain the -git packages for all three in the AUR, and have contributed most of the calibre PKGBUILD as well).

[aur-general] python-nfqueue package
by Leonardo Korndorfer 20 Dec '17

20 Dec '17

Hello, I was looking for the nfqueue-bindings pkg in aur and found a mail thread from 2013: https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/aur-general/2013-November/026059.html Basically it was merged at some point to python2-nfqueue, but then the pkg was lost somewhere. Does anybody know how to get it, by any chance? ---- Leo.

[aur-general] What should guile-git be named on AUR?
by 藍挺瑋 09 Dec '17

09 Dec '17

I am going to upgrade guix to 0.14.0 on AUR. It requires a new library called 'guile-git', which is a guile binding for libgit2 and it can be found on https://gitlab.com/guile-git/guile-git. However, there is already a package called guile-git on AUR, which is the git snapshot version of 'guile' package. What is the recommended name for this new package to avoid conflict?

[aur-general] x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu vs x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
by Ralf Mardorf 05 Dec '17

05 Dec '17

Hi, usually I build claws-mail-git from AUR by adding --build=$(uname -m)-arch-linux-gnu to ./configure. Today I forget to add it, so I expected a default of x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, since /etc/makepkg.conf is configured to default to it. Sometimes I build without an AUR helper, but today I used yaourt. To my surprise "x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" is used. [rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ grep CHOST /etc/makepkg.conf* /etc/makepkg.conf:CHOST="x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu" /etc/makepkg.conf-20130715_000209.bak:CHOST="x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu" /etc/makepkg.conf.pacnew:CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" [rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ grep linux /etc/yaourtrc #AURURL="https://aur.archlinux.org" Why isn't "x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu" used? Seemingly I'm missing another config. Regards, Ralf
