[aur-general] perl prereleases request to make official decision to deviate from general guidleines
by Caleb Cushing 04 May '10

04 May '10

I'm working on a PKGBUILD for perl 5.12 and I notice that it's providing 20 some odd prerelease modules. I'm annoyed but I can't do anything about it. The general PKGBUILD guidelines say use the same as upstream unless there is a hyphen. so for a perl prerelease of 0.90_1 that guideline follows to release it as exactly the same. However 0.90_1 is == 0.90.1 and greater than 0.90 which it is a prerelease for on cpan. I'd like to suggest that for perl the official guideline be to make the version 0.90_pre1 Dist::Zilla a release automation tool also allows for using a format _TRIAL which is not yet popular on cpan but does happen should pacman add a _trial ? to the list of options? I think we could just use _pre here too. -- Caleb Cushing http://xenoterracide.blogspot.com

[aur-general] PKGVER (prerelease hell)
by Caleb Cushing 01 May '10

01 May '10

so CPAN use something like 0.90_1 to mean 0.90_rc1 however I know that pacman see's this as 0.90.1 (essentially not literally) making it greater than 0.90. would just packaging it as 0.90_rc1 make it appear as less than 0.90? I can't find any real docs on this -- Caleb Cushing http://xenoterracide.blogspot.com

Hi, first, tracker is in [community], so please report community-packages stuff on [aur-general] mailing list. In second, this is not the proper way to report missing dependence. Please fill a bug report on flyspray (in the Community Packages project), and we will assign the bug to the tracker maintainer.

[aur-general] orphan request for tinyxml
by Hubert Grzeskowiak 27 Apr '10

27 Apr '10

Hi, please disown the package tinyxml. link: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=1155 Reasons: - package is out of date for some time now -- last update was Fri, 08 Feb 2008 -- maintainer doesn't repond to comments -- most of his packages are out of date, btw: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?K=big_gie&SeB=m - the PKGBUILD mentions another maintainer, who isn't really active anymore (no time) and the contributor mentioned in the PKGBUILD doesn't reply to emails - the PKGBUILD includes a few minor faults (typo in description; bash regex in source url) Have a nice day Hubert Grzeskowiak (Nemesis#13)
